After respeccing to farm 2 of these, here's my impression of them on my high faith/low strength build:

Pros: 10/10 style points. Dual-wielding both is snexy as hell and nearly worth the hours and (larval) tears spent
Excellent ash of war; combos well with standard attacks to interrupt most enemies' outside of higher-tier hyper armour. The magma DoT is great for clean up and/or crowd spacing
Dominates mid-game, especially anything weak to slash and fire
So much talisman compatibility

Cons: Once you hit late game and the C-scaling starts to matter, farming the 2nd just doesn't seem as worthwhile anymore. Your off-hand weapon could focus on better scaling or a buffing ash if you're in it for the numbers
The true damage of the ash comes from the follow-up - you need to be extra aware of when to commit and it can be a surprisingly small window if you can't stagger

IMO, it's an A-tier weapon at worst, feels balanced and definitely one of my favourites, but if I did it again I'd stick with 1.

Submit

The drop rate isn't even the worst part, it's the annoying walk back every time. But at least the enemy is easy to kill. Banished armor(unaltered) was 100 times worse and he can end you in seconds.

Submit

Farmed two of these but end up not using them because of how ugly these are. Just remove the ugly jewels and change the hilt into pistol grip then it would look much better.

Submit

"Did you do it?"
"Yes"
"What did it cost?"
"Volcanic stone x99 (Unable to carry more in inventory, items will be transported to the storage box)"

Submit

So many shields... But no blade...

Submit

Got two in ten minutes. I dunno what you guys are talking about, clearly the drop rate is based on how good you are at the game.

Submit

remember dont just respec for 99 arc, get the silver scarab talisman in hidden path to the haligtree for +75 discovery, and craft plenty of silver fowl feet for +50

save yourself the suffering

Submit

Orange Sword Bad!

Submit

I killed them 463 times with 99 arc,it was diabolical to farm.

deadass first magma snake i killed on my second playthrough dropped it and... lets just say i poggied all over the place
LOL!!!

Submit

Hold devil's pot of tea

Farmed these today, just over 30 arcane, got 2 drops in under 30 minutes. Been melting Altus bosses since then.

I got stabbed by a tarnished and I know I am dying
But at the very last moment of my life
I will break my blade so that it won't be left to my enemy lol

Submit

I farmed it yesterday with arc17 without scaram and without foot, yeah... I think I killed like 50 snakes in total before it dropped. then, I killed them again maybe 5 times and they dropped the second one. Really powerful weapon.. but I don't like the jewels on it at all.. it doesn't match with anything..

Submit

awesome rl1 weapon, though you need both two fingers heirloom + marikas scarseal if you dont want to sacrifice fashion, i like it

Submit

If you are gonna grind, respec to 99 arcane build, got 2 in around and hour

Submit

Been doing a lot of grinding for rare drops recently and this one took the longest. 3 hours at 258 discovery. And many fowl feet consumed. How exactly are those consumed I wonder. Anyway stay at it, eventually the drop will be purple.

Submit

**** those *******s. I'm not spending 8 hours grinding just to get one drop of this thing.

Submit

be honest, does this thing even exist

Submit

The fact that this weapon is bright enough to make me squint yet doesn't illuminate your surroundings like a torch does is sad and lazy programming. It would've been a very nice detail for all swords and shields that glow. (The ash of war does brighten surfaces near it, though)

Submit

This thing has got to be lower then 1.00%. I've taken that elevator over 100 times. I became best buds with the revenant @ the top of the elvator. All while equipped w/

Silver scarab + Silver Tear Mask + Marika's Soreseal + Godrick's Great Rune + Grafted Blade Greatsword buff (+5 to all stats; +20 ARC & +75 Discovery total)

I used about 50 four toed fowl foot, that's +175 Discovery + 20 Arcane. What do I have to show for it? A chest full of Man's Serpent Shield *shrugs*

Submit

Ah yes. The Radagon shredder.

Submit

Bro I dont think this thing has a 1% drop chance. I think its a 0.1% drop chance or some ****. I literally got the black dumpling helm (0.5% chance) 2 times from killing that insane albinauric on the side and still havent got this goddamn curved sword...

Submit

Man-Serpent Shield x1

Submit

Spent 2 hours last night grinding for one. Didn’t get to bed until 4am. Loaded up today and got another one in like 5 minutes. Tldr; I hate RNG.

Submit

I miss the Demon's Scar. For that matter, I miss all the other weapon+catalysts from DS3 and DS2. They were fun, and sometimes good.

Submit

I'm a dumbass. I was wasting my time farming on the wrong serpent. I didn't know it only drops from the one weilding orange glowing. Not to mention with only 1% drop rate.

Submit

Can confirm this is a purple drop, so if you see other colors don't waste your time.

The weapon itself though is nasty, level 1 was able to consistently stagger the cleanrot knight outside the prayer room, and the AoW is absolutely ridiculous. Pair with the Candlestick Whip if you really like the color orange.

Submit

Is the ash of war of this scale on str at all? I kinda ran 99 faith and 50 str. Idk if it’s better to do 80/70 specially if I only exclusively use the ash of war, barely use power stance.

Submit

Bruh I've spent 12 fowl feet trying to get this with 279 discovery this **** is like being afflicted with madness irl

Submit

Yup as I predicted it's a purple drop, so you will immediately know if you got it. Took a lot of effort but I finally got it.

Submit

After 30 minutes of farming, 1 dropped however I needed 2....within another 5 minutes another 2 dropped so ended up with 3 in 35 mins.

Submit

I had heard this thing never dropped so I wasn't gonna waste my time trying to get but as I was heading to Rykard a snake guy just drops it and I'm in shock. However my arcane is kinda high so my discovery is really good

Submit

I had seen the sword, wasn't sure if it could be obtained and figured I didn't feel like spending hours trying to find it...
And suddenly I got it dropped by an enemy in someone else's world

Submit

Volcanic Stone x1

Submit

I don't know why but I've just got a strange feeling of getting 2 of these and putting chains on them.

Submit

Mostly see this on max-level phantoms fishing for a stunlock with the ash of war, but apart from that its a very cool sword.

Submit

Silver scarab and 200 discovery suggested, that’ll double you drop chance just about giving you a 2% chance. Got it in 2 hours and 169 attempts.

Submit

This should have been a dex/faith or int/faith scaling weapon

Submit

5 hours, over a dozen Serpent shields and over 100 Volcanic rocks. I caved in after I got my 15th or so shield. Just gonna cheat two of them in offline mode. This farm is atrocious.

Submit

In regards of how this weapon performs: this weapon literally melts the consecrated snowfield. You need to invest mostly in faith and strength to maximize the fire damage (yes, a curved sword for str/faith builds) but it's well worth it. Lightweight, relatively cheap to upgrade, insane dps and the ash of war is the cherry on top. If you're lucky enough to get 2 of these and powerstance them, you can clear the haligtree rather easily.

Submit

3 hr of farming at 249 discovery. F this i'm cheating it in offline mode, i'm fine with difficulty but not inconvenience

Submit

This weapon really should of been a Faith/Int weapon to give magma sorcerer's a weapon that would synergize with there magic, currently the stat spread required for that school of magic does not have a weapon that synergizes with there damage type leaving them sorely lacking in that regard.

Lore wise it would also make sense as this is magma weapon, with the same origin as the sorcery. Faith/Int builds seem to be really deprived of any weapon variety currently as all there lore appropriate and thematically suited weapons are either pure Int or faith weapons.

Submit

Thank Patches for everyone telling me how quickly they got this, it's really interesting and useful information.

Submit

Is it worth farming two for a powerstance build, or better off using one in main hand and a different curved sword in the off-hand?

Submit

For anyone wondering the magma left behind during the ash of war also is affected by shard of alexander

Submit

Got two in less than 15 minutes

Submit

Got two on accident. I think it has to do with how good you are at the game.

Submit

Really? Not even one comment describing how this weapon performs? Just an endless streak of people nagging about its drop rate?

Submit

So it took a few days, but the drop is purple as of 1.09. Get your own sauce. lol

Submit

Haha 500th volcanic stone goes brrr

Submit

I got 2 in a little under an hour and a half. I respecced to 91 arc and used the silver tear to reach 99. Bloody slash with occult was 1 shotting on my +25 2 handed bloodstained dagger when back attacking. If you hustle you can get both of them while they are walking away and run up/ crouch spirint and 1 shot them both in the same cycle. This was in ng.

Submit

I got it on the first try, just by killing the snake near the closed door outside the estate (where there is an Iron Maiden below). Moreover, I killed the snake just so that it would not run after me, because I wanted to pass by and open this locked door.

Submit

magma weapon that scales with faith and no int when all the magma spells are int biased sorcereries and not incants... from plz

Submit

took me less than 30 minutes to get two of these lol and lmao

Submit

Im now on my 1800th run ... grinding this like a month already, every time i have some spare time, for the 100% but still need two. I even maxed arcane(not that it matters im lvl 400 now) with silver scarab, silver tear mask and silver-pickled fowl foot, but still ... none. Anyways luck is extreme sometimes i guess. Good luck to all that are still grinding this nightmare ... but maybe its the next run where u get em.=)

Submit

Took me about 4 hours, started out with max AR with Scarab and FF but ran out of FF 2 hours in and just kept grinding.
That moment when I finally got it was crazy, keep grinding kings.

Submit

After 3 hours of farming the Grossmesser, this one dropped in 3 kills.... Maybe there is a god

Submit

The drop rate is feels like it's definitely lower than 1%... This was the hardest weapon to farm in the whole game. Including envoy's greathorn, watchdog's greatsword, and noble's estoc.

Submit

229 discovery, no foot, got it in under 40 tries on the one straight ahead from the elevator. Good luck on your farming guys.

Submit

got this within 20 minutes at 274 discovery

Submit

You will always be... A monster.

Submit

At 114 discovery, it took me 72 runs (152 lizards) to get it.

Submit

unbelievable sheesh all this chat and comments how you can't get it to drop, boost your arcane to 50 plus respec if you have to, put on both scarab talismans, the sword will drop in like 6 to 10 tries i acquired 2 in like 10 minutes.

Submit

i was so annoyed at how low the drop rate for this is that i wrote a program purely out of spite to run RNG with the same base-stat % droprate and have it run theoretical farms for 3,000 different players. about ten of them took over 600 attempts to get the drop, and the most unlucky theoretical player out of them all took 1,005 attempts just to get this to drop one time.

Submit

omg i was so lucky XD got 2 in 30 minutes lol, gl everyone else but i am out of here XD

Submit

Got this first try at 275 or something discovery with the fowl foot and talisman

Submit

i farmed 2 bandit cs on 4 diff pgs, yesterday i got 2 of them with the first 2 kills with a fresh bandit and just silver foot, but this..., this is something else....my god

Submit

If I get another Volcanic Stone, so help me god…

Submit

Interesting weapon. Let me see how it performs.


Very helpful, guys.

Submit

Drop rate: foolish ambitions%

Submit

Got 2 of these about 20 minutes after respeccing plus using all the discovery buff things for a total of 324 discovery. Melts a certain emo boss in the endgame at +9 and proper attribute investment with minor buffs even on new game +4 to 5.

Submit

Why is there emphasis on "orange glowing"?

Submit

The easiest way to farm this item on PC is making a backup of your save right at the door to the first man-serpent carrying this sword, use a silver fowl foot & run through killing both. If it doesn't drop simply quit out to menu, reload the save from the backup and repeat until it drops. Removes the annoying run back completely, saves 20-40 seconds on each run.

Submit

Took me around and hour and a half to farm two after respeccing to Arcane and having around 200 item discovery. The first blade dropped after the 3rd kill while second required several more runs. Make sure you’re killing the two serpents by the Temple of Eglay lift shortcut (one is in an area behind the lift and one is straight after it) as they will drop it and it’s a quick run back. May the RNG gods be with you.

Submit

Over 2 hours of farming with 295 discovery. 14 man-serpent shields, but managed to get those two magma blades.

Don't despair and it is definately doable to get two in 2 hours.

Submit

Had between 248-298 discovery. 4 hours. 13 serpent shields. 40+ silver feet. At least 210 kills by my math. No blade yet.

Submit

The 2 serpents near Prison Town Church grace literally don't drop these or either have an abysmal drop rate. I farmed them for like 3-5hours and got nothing with 308 discovery. Then I tried the Temple of Eiglay route and got 2 in less than 45mins. I think the thing is that the ones with the black and not the actual magma blade likely have such low drop rates that it's impossible to get, or just don't drop em.

Submit

I sat down to farm this stupid weapon and put on an episode of the face jam podcast to keep me entertained, I got more and more frustrated as the hour wore on and eventually I said **** it, as soon as this episode is done I'm giving up, then as the outro was playing I finally got my spicy sword

moral of the story is listen to face jam

Submit

Strange oddity, am aware of the low drop rate. Got it after 15 tries. The man-serpent spawned a little further in this run, it just felt different. Did usual run from grace to lift, to lift reset, kill dumpling head and run for man-serpent. but this time it spawned further back and was walking towards from stairs rather than usual turn-around. Timing felt different somehow, like they spawn a different unit which actually has the weapon drop.

Submit

I have been farming this for 4 ****ing hours, why can't I just buy it so something. I hate farm weapons

Submit

omg i got it first try

Submit

for those grinding it seems like youll usually get 2 rare items at a time, so with the 250+ discovery it seems like people are claiming they get 2 blades within a few runs. I got mine a few runs after getting the dumpling head.

Submit

192 Discovery, 2 days later not one sword. Got enough rocks to build 2 more Mt. Gelmir's tho.

Submit

ive been tryna get this for hours with both silver scarab and consumable my luck is not with me if anyone have a spare one i would really appreciate it :3
avie^_^#4252 on discord

Submit

Take a shot every time you get a Volcanic Rock

Submit

I think I got lucky. Used the silver scarab, the arcane helmet and the discovery consumable. Got two within 10 minutes. NG.

Submit

Took an hour approx 80 kills to get 1, then got another in 2 kills. Cheers

Submit

If anyone got a pair of these they ain’t using on psn lemme have em iiOluron-

Submit

Was surprised that this scales primarily with strength and so is very suitable for my high STR/low FTH build. Decided to farm two of these and got them in just eight runs from the site of grace at 173 discovery.

It's now one of my top 5 favorite weapons in the game. Looks super dope, the weapon art melts poise, and overall I love moveset of paired curved swords.

Submit

with 200 discovery it will take an average of 100 kills to get a pair, which is doable in one hour or so. I farmed two pairs on two chars and they followed the stats quite well. some tips to help speeding up: kick the elevator back to the side of temple of eiglay so you don't have to pull the lever and wait next time; start moving immediately from the temple and go with the order of the serpent outside to the right -> in the corridor. as such they will both face to the opposite side, allowing you to do surprise attacks by muting the footstep (e.g. crepus vial) ; use one shot skills (spinning slash, storm caller, rkr, etc.) to kill the serpents.

Submit

4 shields and nearing 20 volcanic rocks from 4 hours of farming. no sword!
