Magma Blade | Elden Ring Wiki

I'm not sure anyone is going to believe me but I got two of them in the same farming session. I used the silver scarab, silver tear mask and pickled fowl foot consumables. Each pickled foot lasts long enough for two runs without fast travelling back to the grace at the temple of eiglay. But bear in mind I was using the sacred relic farming sword to quickly kill all three serpent-men then sprinting back to the grace checkpoint. I only used nine of the pickled fowl foot in total for two of the swords to drop for me.

Submit

I got two of these on my first try now I should probably do a build in the future where I duel wield these

Submit

took me around 2,5 hrs with 205 discovery

Submit

Int-Dex? Wing of Astel
Strength-Faith? Magma Blade

Submit

I used to farm for Flamberge in DS3 without any discovery boost. You cant stop me with this, Miyazaki

Submit

There is no F***ing way i just just got two of these after 3 runs... i think i have used all my luck

Submit

Useful tip for anyone farming this item: Swarm of Flies stuns these serpents very easily. Throw one out, run up to them, hit them with a charged heavy attack or ash of war. Easy farm

Submit

Volcanic Stone x1

Submit

Took me about 45 mins to an hour of farming from the Temple of Eigley grace using the silver scarab and 25 arcane. Someone below mentioned "rebooting" and you should try it. I have done that with previous "souls" game farming covenant items. It really works and others have said as much. If the snakes start dropping shields then a sword is sure to follow. Best faith melee sword by far, wish I got it months ago. Took down PLACIDUSAX with all his fatness on my second try using this which I have not done with any character including bleed builds.

This is the new PKCS

Submit

Volcanic Stone x1

Submit

I've literally respec all my point into 99 arcane. got the silver scarab and fowl foot. most discovery possible in this game. second day of farming and no sword. Fist day farmed for like 2-3 hours. Today i farmed for about 2.5 hours.... Honestly **** drop rates like that.

Submit

Same sad story as many of you, went to respec Arc to 80 and got it after 10 tries. Definitely worth it

Submit

I have 2 of these and messed around with them in pve and pvp a fair bit. My 2 cents:
+ its a curved sword. good moveset, especially the running and jumping multi-hit attacks
+ the ash of war is pretty good. its spinning slash+, and the magma puddles do a fair bit of damage when enemies are staggered by the spinning slash part and they zone out/stagger enemies with low poise so its somewhat safe to spam
+ fits well as a lighter weapon/side arm alternative in a str/fth build which is mostly composed of only heavier weapon classes
- AR isn't anything too special, flame art bandit's curved sword faith in particular has comparable AR while having interchangeable AoW
- pain in the ****ing ass to farm, if you don't have the patience for it you are better off just getting one and infusing another curved sword with flame art as the only thing that you're really missing is the unique AoW
- 15 ****ing dex requirement despite being a str/fth weapon is annoying and misleading
Its been pointed out that the recommended stat allocation should be equal str/fth first (45/45 or 50/50) because the AoW scales with both the AR (spinning slash portion) and faith (magma puddles, fire damage for AR). Afterwards, Str has better scaling than fth.
All things considered, definitely a bit more trouble than what its worth when looking at it practically, but the glowing blades look cool, the AoW looks cool, and you get the show off the fact that you have one of the rarest weapons in the game.

Submit

Isidro build? anyone?

Submit

as a pyromancer, i now want to farm this item, not for the blade but for the stones
your pain strengstens me lol

Submit

I feel kinda bad reading the comments cause I got this weapon on my first try with only 11 arcane and no boosts

Submit

Aside from the comments on farming - this weapon shreds quite a lot in PvE. For the fun of it, I tried beating Radagon & Elden Beast on NG+2 with two of these bad boys, and got them on my second try. You can pretty much kill any boss easily with this. AoW staggers a surprising amount of enemies. Conclusion - the farm is worth it if you can endure the pain. Plus, they are pretty damn sexy lookin'

Submit

man this sure is an effective volcanic stone farm

Submit

All the comments about farming aside, is it worth picking this weapon up for a build or two or are there better alternatives?

Submit

Lies. This weapon actually has a .0001% drop rate. I tried to farm this for two days straight. You’d have a better chance at acquiring the battle hammer from the duelist in Leyndell

Submit

i unknowingly farmed the Black Dumpling head piece from that creepy guy after the elevator while i was farming this weapon. at least got that i guess!

Submit

Got two of them within 20min with 110 discovery

Submit

so, first sword i got it easily, second one i spent 2 hours no sword, then 3 hours again no sword, but many shi(t)eld then again 1and a half hour i finally got my 2nd one !!!
Then for the fun i did a last run and got a 3rd one, lol lmao

Submit

holy molly, got the first blade easily, but thye second i'm still craving for :///

Submit

In ng+7, 80 arc, dropped me 2 in 5 runs. Easy farm

Submit

Took 33 tries (total of 66 snakes killed) for two to drop, used silver tear mask and silver foot with 37 arcane.

Submit

Does this only drop when it is glowing?

Submit

glad [REDACTED] reverted my edit that clarified which serpents could drop it.
genuinely glad someone adapted my edit into something more "palatable"

Submit

The chance of this dropping is lower than my chance of finding a maiden

Submit

thought, lemme try and get this could be interesting to use. i go equip the sliver scarab, silver tear mask, marikas soreseal and teleport to go start the long and arduous farming process for a 1% drop rate weapon and... first kill drops two of the damn things. i used up all the luck ill ever have and i put it into two funny orange swords. im never gonna get a drop ever again, not a rowa fruit from a noble.

Submit

My first one took about 5 hours to farm, I was so upset because it wasn't all that great of a weapon; Unless I'm doing something wrong. I wanted one to try for my level 1 character and I started farming after 10 minutes I remembered how long it took to farm this weapon. So I decided to think outside the box I played offline, and still nothing. But when I killed myself I got the shield, hmmm I killed myself again and I got another shield. Went back killed myself again wait I should mention where I kill myself, just as soon as I kill the first lizard I jump out the window towards the bridge to my death. Everytime I would do that I would get the shield or the shield and 2 extras goodies, and finally after the third time I got the sword all within 10 minutes of finding out this method please let me know if it works. I went back to try it on another account I got the shiedl very quickly. 6 more suicides I got the sword. Beats 4 hours.

Submit

farmed for two hours, nothing. rebooted, first drop. try rebooting.

Submit

First kill of these fellers on NG+ and he dropped the sword AND shield for me for the first time. Heheh.

Submit

I've been farming for this weapon for over an hour now and I don't even know if it is actually good or not. I just want to collect every possible item in one playthrough. XD

Submit

1 hr to get one, came back a week later and first mob dropped my 2nd

Submit

I have collected every weapon cept this one. Killed like hundreds and days later still no go. Its the hardest drop for me by far

Submit

just scale on arcane for the farming and get silver tear helmet and silver scarab. Found 2 in under 2h.

Submit

Finally got the second one. I became a well oiled machine farming this. I timed my last run it took 52 seconds from loading into the grace to teleporting back. 192 discovery and 30 mins for 2. Ride elevator, kill creepy dude, shoot something at snake kill snake to the right, second snake guy is on his way to find you. Rinse. Less than 1 minute for 2 kills.

Submit

5hrs still no drop

Submit

Do not give up. Its there. Jump attack talisman with dual wield ultra greatswords really helped. Silver tear helmet + Marika Scarseal/Soreseal + Silver Scarab Talisman. at 30 Arcane gives 223 discovery.

Submit

I finally got one after trying on and off for 5 hours and my second one dropped about 10 minutes after. I think I dropped a tear, lol.

Submit

One just dropped for me when I originally was just passing by to pick up my last cookbook, because I already grinded 2 using the usual scarab/foot/mask combo (took about 5 hours). Because RNjesus was so kind to me I thnk I will drop it to someone while cooping.

Submit

I got sick of these unreasonable drop rates now i just drop them offline using cheat table then the game doesn't know the difference when I go back online.

Submit

i think if you have 274 discovery its kind of easy
i was killing the serpents for like 10 minutes and i got 2 of them

Submit

why tf does the "notes and tips" say best used on a pure strength build with minimum faith when the numbers show it's clearly most efficient on a 45/45 STR/FAI split? 80/16 split only gains 11 AR total over 45/45 while requiring 6 more levels invested and also sacrificing almost all scaling on the fire damage/weapon art

Submit

"This weapon is most efficient on a pure Str build with just enough Faith to use it."

This couldn't be more wrong, lmao, the entire point of this weapon is the fire damage and weapon art, both of which scale purely off Faith, if you want a curved sword for your physical damage STR build literally every other weapon in the class is a better option

Submit

Does the AoW scale better with faith?

Submit

Blades of chaos

Submit

After trying my best to farm this item, I am now a merchant, and my merchandise includes but not limited to; 1998 ******* volcanic stones.

Submit

A helpful tip to anyone farming this is the colour of the item is purple rather than white as a quick identifier on whether it dropped.

Also based on the sample size of numbers here including my own experience, the blade more than likely is a 0.5% drop chance like the nobles slender sword.

Submit

test

Submit

if youre using the temple of eiglay route, try using the crepus vial or black knife assassin torso, you'll be able to run up to the snakes and stab them in the back. a real time saver for me

Submit

I’m convinced this is a faux weapon at this point and you guys are trolling. 3 days of farming with 274 insight and nothing but man-serpent shields and volcanic rocks.

Submit

what other curved sword can I use it with? In case I don't want to make 2 .....

Submit

Four hours later and I now have a vast fortune in volcanic stones

Submit

Str 9 Dex 15 Fai 16 required but scales the best off Strength.....word?

Submit

If you're farming this, it's a good idea to farm the giant eggman snake in the next room for the Gelmir Glintstone Staff at the same time, I didn't realise that was a drop when I was farming for dual Magma Blades, now I gotta do the whole grind again, smh

Submit

Been farming since March. Girlfriend left me. Lost my job. Haven't showered. Three different welfare checks to my home. But I'm close to getting one of these, I can feel it. Few more runs....

Submit

looks like god of war blades

Submit

Spent a couple hours on this too.

Max discoverability is 99 arcane (respec as needed), silver scarab talisman (brought me from 199.0 to 274.0), and finally pop a silver pickled fowl foot (brings it to max 324.0).

I got 2x magma blade from Temple of Eiglay route at 324.0 discoverability. Take the elevator, kill the albinauric, go to the side entrance facing the lava and kill magma blade serpent around the corner. Then go back to the main room and the other door facing a bunch of poison zombies. Ignore them all, sprint to magma blade serpent and kill while back is turned.

Rinse and repeat and voila.

Submit

I have been farming witj scarab for two days and nothing. I wait so unpatiently.

I wonder does the man lizard whip exist?

Submit

the moment this flashed on my screen was an out of body experience

Submit

BIG tip for farming! Agro the second snake with a throwing knife kill the first one down the stairs. Come back up the statues and the second snake with be fighting the crawling dude. Travel back to the grace and repeat. Run takes about 1 1/2 minutes.

Submit

It does exist. Took 2 hours with silver scarab. But it was a larger purplish drop.

Submit

Hope the man-serpent blade(not the magna blade) where you can apply ashes of war to it is added in the DLC.

Submit

Have farmed too many snake guys to count. No drop yet.

Submit

Killed a serpent and got one, accidently fell down in lava and died. Ran back and killed the serpent again and got another- and Iam playing bleedspecc. Is this better?

Submit

The drop rates in Elden Ring are bad comedy.

Submit

Spent 3 days trying to get this blade and it finally dropped holy **** it’s worth it

Submit

DEMON SCAR FROM DS3!!! CALLED IT!

Submit

this seems to scale with strength better than faith at 45 str 45 faith this does 608 ar (376 phys 231 fire) at 80 str 16 faith this does 619 ar (432 phys 185 fire) and at 9 str 80 faith it does 536 ar ( 280 phys 254 fire) so it seems this is best on a pure str build with just enough faith to use it all of these tests have been done with the minimum dex for this weapon

Submit

Anyone who is having trouble getting this, make sure to grab the silver scarab talisman

Submit

This weapon, if you have it, is an annoying pvp beast. The AoW can true combo if you’re staggered by the first hit. Every time I’ve fought someone using this all they do is run away until they get an opening then spam the AoW.

Fix bleed before this though.

Submit

Now I've got my 2 MBs I can go sell these MS shields and lvl up a dozen or so times

Submit

so how good is this thing damage wise in comparison to other curved swords(not counting bleed)

Submit

Sat down and farmed this tonight. absolute slog with silverfoots, mimic mask to boost arcane to 28. after like, a documentary and a half one dropped, then the other dropped after another 5 or so kills. i wreck close range in pvp now lol

Submit

I ran into someone dual wielding two of these. This is late-stage capitalism in action folks...

Submit

Farmed a second one! Rain Firrrreeee!!!!

Submit

Got it when I killed it the first time in the hallway. after run 5, got a 2nd one!

Submit

Here's my story :

Volcanic stone.
109 discovery.
Volcanic stone.
3h of farming, reading comment while returning to grace.
Volcanic stone.
Was really REALLY thinking I should just stop.
Volcanic stone.
Snake drops something. I wait for 1 minute thinking it will be the last of today, maybe won't come back to this.
Sword drops.
IT DOES EXIST OMG

Submit

Managed to get several black dumplings whilst farming this, and the apparently have lower drop rate

Submit

Does it really exist? Not happenung for me and I'm at 264 discovery.

Submit

After farming this for a while, I have come to the conclusion that it never drops because it dosnt actually exist. This entire page is an elaborate troll job.

Submit

All i wanted ... Was a Kratos cosplay....

Submit

ZEUS! YOUR SON HAS RETURNED

Submit

Here to express my disdain for snake people and volcanic stone.

That is all.

Submit

Scales better with strength than dex, but requires more dex than strength to wield…what?

Submit

You don't really have to farm two of them. You can use magma blade in right hand, fire/flame art curved sword in left hand. If you have higher str than faith use fire, if you have higher faith use flame art. Your moveset will be identical to dual magma blades and the damage is nearly similar. Bandit's curved sword would be the best option for fire/flame art, though it is also a rare drop. But you can also just use fire/flame art scavenger curved sword which also has a little amount of bleed, but the ar is worse than bandit's.

Submit

There is a 100% chance it WILL drop... Eventually...
DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!

Submit

2nd kill, got blade + shield. Took about 6 or 7 more trips to get the 2nd blade to drop.

Submit

I hate it here I hate it I hate it here I hate it I hate it here I hate it

Submit

personally i think this is the best curved sword in the game. Its most definitely worth the farm to get although, I recommend obtaining 2 of them because of its powerstance. the running attack and jump attack is very good while powerstanced. and the weapon has a amazing aoe ash of war which melts players and bosses. it has very short range so running, jumping, and baiting heavy attacks/ash of wars is the type of play style to use with this weapon. p.s backstepping is good to combo with this weapon

Submit

I crafted 5 more sivler foots, spent all of them and ran out of them with one last serpent on the way back to grace.

My thought process? This:

Should just go back, no point trying without the silver foot.
It's overall not worth grinding. I hate grinding and Im just wasting my time here.
I might as well take the last one on the way. Simply just because..
No way it will drop from the last serpent

It fcking dropped.
I started breathing heavily, walking around in the game mindlessly.
Alt tabed to tell you about it.

Go rescale for 99 arcane before you start, wear silver tear scarab...
and most importantly - if you dont have silver foot active, it's not wrth trying.
Although...

Submit

Holy dung eater. Got one after hours and hours. Now on to #2 plz send help

Submit

Took me 2 and a half episodes of Boondocks for one to drop at 170ish discovery

Submit

why are the jannies on here deleting perfectly reasonable comments?

Submit

this weapon ****ing slaps, especially when dual wielded. the only problem im the range. it has nice DoT, the skill breaks shields, breaks enemy stances so easily,high damage, looks cool, melts anything that isnt fire resistant, fun to use, low fp, overall a good solid weapon and very worth the farming.

Submit

I got 2 from roughly 100 kills with high discovery. They are awesome, great ash of war, nice powerstance moveset and fast with around 650 AR each for me at lvl 180. They can melt bosses in the right setup, been soloing Godfrey for people all week. Downsides are poor range and high stamina usage

Submit

248 discovery going on 3 hours now.. so much fun
