Main-gauche
The Main-gauche is a dagger added to Elden Ring by the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. You can find Main-gauche by pillaging the remains of a commoner's corpse found inside the spears and shields room in the Main Gate Plaza area of the Shadow Keep legacy dungeon. The Main-gauche is a swift weapon meant for left handed use and comes with the Parry skill, which allows you to stagger and perform a critical hit to an attacking foe if the parry is well-timed.
Where to Get the Main-gauche
You can get the Main-gauche by pillaging the remains of a corpse found inside the spears and shields room in the Main Gate Plaza area of the Shadow Keep legacy dungeon. To reach this weapon's location, head northwest from the Main Gate Plaza site of grace in Shadow Keep, passing through three doorways and a set of stairs to a platform with crow's nests cages and two soldiers. Clear the enemies on this platform and go a short distance up the next set of stairs and enter the doorway on the right, which leads into a spear room with two guards.
Cautiously enter the doorway, and defeat all the soldiers and the Black Knight on this floor. Once safe, head to where the Black Knight was standing when you first entered this floor and loot the corpse to get the Main-gauche, and you're all set!
