You can find Uchigatana in a dungeon in Limsgrave. I would look it up on google or youtube.Yeah I've yet to find a katana. I'm about level 60 at 60 hours in. I just completed the Liurnia castle/boss. Does the katana scale with STR? What's the requirements on the katana's you've found? I'm a pure STR, VIG and END build. I do have the jump attack talisman and I use it along with the charge attack enhance talisman mostly. I'm curious about this dung eater quest sword too....most of the cool weapons I've found require INT or other stuff I'm not putting points into. I do have 16 DEX as I put a few points into it before I really knew where I was going with my build. This has been my first souls game.
I recommend trying out weapons with bleed buildup effects. If you swipe the enemy enough times, they will bleed and extra damage like a massive damaging critical finish.
Traditionally, katana scaled best with dexterity or half/half STR/DEX. In Elden Ring, you can change the weapon's scaling type with a whetstone. You can use a specific whetstone to make it scale with STR. You do that at the smith or site of grace with the Ash of War option. Pick a Ashe of War and choose heavy for STR scaling.
You will get plenty of level up points later into the game, so I would just go quality build half/half STR/DEX, so that you can open yourself up for many weapons including STR and DEX. Bloodhound Fang for instance scales with DEX, and cannot be modified with whetstone on how it scales. Because it's a specialized weapon.
Dung Eater quest weapon you can get. Sword of Milos. Same moves as Claymore, and with bleed damages.
I think this game really encourages usage of magic and magic weapons. INT/DEX builds are quite popular. Moonveil is a great katana for a INT/DEX build.
