TotK Soldier's Claymore: Attack, Durability and Locations

Soldier’s Claymore is a two-handed weapon in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game describes it this way: “A lightweight metal weapon forged for royal soldiers. It’s decayed now, but still easy to wield, so it consumes less stamina during charge attacks.” This page gives its numbers and maps every place the game puts one.

The decayed Soldier’s Claymore is the one found on the surface; the intact one, with its own Compendium number, is covered in pristine weapons.
