Festive Sickle
Festive Sickle is an unresolved project roster label appearing beside the confirmed Celebrant's Sickle. No distinct in-game weapon, item identifier, acquisition, or status screen is supported locally, so the page is held as a probable duplicate.
Overview
Festive Sickle is the supplied name for Elden Ring’s celebrant-themed dagger, more commonly listed in English as Celebrant’s Sickle.
This minor melee weapon belongs to the Dagger class rather than the Reaper class. Its defining trait is a celebratory rune-return effect when attacks connect, giving it a small progression and farming utility beyond its ordinary close-range damage.
The weapon is associated with the celebrants of Dominula, Windmill Village. It is an enemy-drop weapon tied to that location’s festive cult, so it is encountered as an optional exploration find rather than a central quest reward or required progression item.
Its main distinction from more conventional daggers is therefore utility, not a unique damage role. Players choosing it are trading some specialization potential for a weapon that can provide runes during routine melee use.
The weapon is part of the base-game Elden Ring arsenal rather than a Shadow of the Erdtree-exclusive variant. Its identity should be kept separate from other celebrant weapons, including the celebrant-themed axe, hammer, and greatspear.

How to Obtain
- 01The Elden Ring weapon roster does not reliably identify a weapon named “Festive Sickle.” Do not follow an acquisition route until the intended item is confirmed; it may refer to Celebrant’s Sickle, a separate weapon name.
Compared With Similar Weapons
| Weapon | Class and role | Distinctive advantage | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Festive Sickle | Grants runes when attacks connect and uses a mobile skill | Very short reach; rune gain is utility rather than a direct combat advantage | — |
| Great Knife | Innate blood loss supports sustained close-range pressure | Lacks the Festive Sickle's rune-on-hit utility | — |
| Misericorde | Better suited to ripostes and backstabs | Less distinctive for routine attacks and resource farming | — |
| Wakizashi | Can complement a katana-focused powerstance setup | More dependent on a compatible paired-weapon setup than the Festive Sickle | — |
Lore and Design
The Festive Sickle is explicitly associated with the Celebrants of Dominula, the Windmill Village. Its item description identifies it as one of the weapons used by the village’s celebrants, tying the sickle to their ritualistic culture and the hostile festival encountered there. Beyond that connection, the game does not establish a named wielder, broader character relationship, or documented development inspiration for this weapon.
