Kukri | Elden Ring Wiki
Kukri is a Consumable Item in Elden Ring. Most Consumables grant various effects such as restorative properties for recovering HP, removing certain negative status effects or applying temporary buffs and debuffs, while others can be thrown at enemies to deal damage.
A large knife used for throwing.
Its curved blade is sharp enough to slice flesh cleanly.
Throw at enemies to inflict damage and build up onset of blood loss.
This heavy throwing weapon is unsuitable for swift attacks, but is able to inflict heavy damage.

These are good against Mohg 2 (Lord of Blood). When you walk into the boss fight, throw 4-6 kukris at him for a free bleed and a likely UNO. Another 6-10 kukris (depending on timing) should give you another bleed proc. I like to time this to push him into TRES, then immediately use the horny jail shackles on him. 2nd phase don’t use these, standing = death.
They're helpful against Malenia in her second phase.
When she does her Aeonia Flower move you can use that time to yeet Kukri's at her and the time her flower mode takes is just enough to proc bleed. Giving you a nice bit of extra damage in a situation where you would otherwise be just standing there if you hadn't any ranged weapons at hand.
So, anyone knows the stance damage of these?
Wish we could have a kukri's as a weapon, curved sword of course.
Does anyone have a number for the bleed buildup?
No joke, these are the best hunting weapon in the game. They instantly proc bleed on wildlife and have a redonkulous travel distance that's pretty much just limited to lock-on. Simply throw at critters as you ride/walk past them and collect the materials.
They do reasonable damage and don't appear to arc at all, you can pretty much snipe with them, although they DO suffer damage fall off at range (doesn't apply to bleed effect). Only down side is the throw animation is slower than darts and locks you in place.
Fun to throw at magic nerds. All that book reading and staff waving can't save them when this comes flying at their cranium.
Professionals have standards.
"Its curved blade is sharp enough to slice flesh cleanly."
Aight lemme just toss these in a straight line
Doesn't this also have a C in Arcane scaling?
Kukri, AKA magic missiles for dex builds
These are dead-ass overpowred. You can cheese a lot of bosses/enemies by spamming these.
Anyone know if this is considered pierce damage and would benefit from the counter attack damage boost? I wouldn't be surprised if it was just standard damage.
If you're primarily a melee user & find yourself occasionally wishing you had a ranged backup, look no further. These don't have the same range as a bow/crossbow, but considering that (1) as throwing weapons, they save you a weapon slot, equipment load, costs of upgrading, etc., (2) you can buy unlimited amounts from a very early-game merchant, (3) these have no stat requirement so anyone can use them, and (4) they ****ing SCALE with DEX/STR, these are actually incredible. No need to even craft these!!
sniping's a good job, mate
Does the bleed build up also scale? If so is it only with ARC or with ARC, STR, and DEX? Would love to see some testing on that.
They updated the Kukri! Now scales with Arcane: Str A Dex S Arc C
The Vulgar Militia guys near the Beast Clergyman (where you drop off the deathroots) drop these by the ton, so a nice side effect of grinding is getting a ton of these. Very nice for STR/DEX builds and if you shoot casters fast enough these can easily disrupt spells. Surprise!
Wtf why are these actually good
I had these on my quick select pouch ever since thinking they would help against Malenia (they didn't) and I ended up beating the final boss by throwing one at it's face. Common Kukri W
Kukri remains GOATed. Sometimes your character can not aim right below you with throwing knives and bows, but Kukris can be thrown straight down. Great for ladder and ledge campers, and good for telescope sniping too.
I kept spamming these things while my summon attacked the boss in the Gael tunnels.
Am I trippin' or did the speed at which these can be thrown take a hit with the update? I swear they were as quick as darts when I first started using them but now there's a slight delay. It also seems like all projectiles have had an effective range reduction. I'll see them "hit" the target but do 0 damage. Idk if it matters but I'm on a Series X.
