Amygdalan Arm Description
"The arm of a small Amygdala Great One.
Strictly speaking, the Amygdalan Arm is no trick weapon of any sort, but certain madmen wield them like clubs.
Starts as a large, tough blunt weapon formed of bone, but when extended, the hand quivers as if it were still alive.
Amygdalan Arm Information
- Transforms from a club to a scythe-like arm with deceptively long reach and a whip-like, fluid motion.
- Requires 16 Blood Stone Shards, 16 Twin Blood Shards, 16 Chunks and 1 Blood Rock
and 4240 Blood Echoes to fully upgrade. - To perform a Leap Attack, tap forward on the Left Stick as you press R2.
- To perform a Transformation Attack, press L1 while performing another attack or dodge.
- Hold R2 after the initial charge attack to initiate another 2 hits.
- Note that whenever you perform a strong attack, just wait a bit and the arm will automatically land an extra swing (costs stamina).
- It will land two extra swings if you charge it all the way, then wait.Both deal high damage and have good reach.
- Transformation attack from scythe to mace deals high blunt damage.
Location
Normal
- The Hunter's Nightmare, cave at the end of the blood river to the right after getting out of the building that used to be the shortcut to the Cleric Beast in the main game. Gatling Gun Hunter dropping the Gatling Gun and a Blood-Starved Beast can be also found here. Arm is near the Blood-Starved Beast at the end of the cave.
Uncanny Amygdalan Arm

Lost Amygdalan Arm
- If you have the normal version: Create Glyph 8i29rqz3 (Pthumeru Labyrinth) and buy from Bath Messengers up a ladder from the main room for 66,000 Blood Echoes.
Player Notes
- The normal mode uses heavy smashing attacks, suggesting that it is primarily using Blunt damage.
- Can stunlock most enemies by simply spamming R1
- The trick mode makes the arm's bladed extension whip around with the user's attacks, giving the weapon more range as well as multi-hit potential (needs confirmation). < it does curl at the end
- The tricked R2 attacks, both charged and regular ones, will make the bladed tendril "come alive", slashing around.
- When using a regular R2, make sure to not move (turn, attack, roll etc.) and once your character extends the weapon the tendril will slash slightly to the left and then right of the weapon.
- Charging the R2 and leaving it slammed down will increase the range and force at which the bladed tendril slashes.
- Moving, rolling or initiating a different attack will interrupt this special move.
- Each slash is a separate attack, so you can potentially get 3 hits out of a single R2. Can be achieved on larger foes, though considering how long all of those hits take to be executed, expect to be hit back. Usually the initial slam and one slash is still good damage and won't leave you open for too long.
- Using the trick mode of this weapon in PvP is risky, as the additional slashing motions that come with the R2 attacks can leave you wide open if they miss.
- It has a very deceiving range though, and the slashes that come from the R2 can be fairly unpredictable for the enemy
- The Arcane damage and scaling on the weapon is negligible, it can basically be considered a Strength weapon
- Arcane attack only triggers when the weapon is transformed, mace version is pure strength.
- Good against crowds, can keep enemies away with its reach if transformed.

Trivia
- The Amygdalan Arm is a Trick Weapon in name only, considering that it is an arm obtained from Amygdala.
- The arm is remarkably small, as even the Lesser Amygdalae are huge. Perhaps it came from a newborn Amygdala.
- The arm could be the inspiration behind the Burial Blade.
