Claymore is located at Castle Morne in the southern tip of the Weeping Peninsula. From Limgrave, simply continue heading south until you reach Castle Morne. Be wary of the Golem shooting bolts at you. After crossing the Golem, activate the Castle Morne Lift grace site.
Take the lift and ascend the castle to discover a pile of corpses with misbegottens celebrating on top. It’s not a pleasing sight, but our Claymore can be found just behind the corpse pile. Stealthily make your way behind the misbegottens and head to the right side of the corpse pile to locate the castle’s armory room. Inside this room, you’ll find a chest next to the exit. Open this chest and claim your Claymore!
