Magma Blade is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. The Magma Blade scales primarily with Strength and Faith, with reduced scaling in Dexterity, and is a good Weapon for characters who prioritise strength and want to deal additional Fire damage while benefitting from the swift curved sword move set.
Curved sword with a blade fashioned from the lava of Mt. Gelmir.
An armament of the man-serpents, impossible for a human to have made.
Deals fire damage.
Where to Find Magma Blade in Elden Ring
The Magma Blade weapon can be found at the following location:
- Possible drop from Man-Serpent enemies wielding the orange glowing Magma Blade at Volcano Manor. [Elden Ring Map Link]
- Two of the Serpents can be easily accessed by going up the wooden elevator outside of the building to the North of the Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace: one enemy down the hallway, the other through the first archway to the right.
Elden Ring Magma Blade Notes & Tips
- Weapon Skill: Magma Shower
- This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War
- Cannot be enchanted with Magic nor boosted by Consumables
- Magma Blade can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones
- Sell Value: 200
- Base drop rate is 1% (at 100 Discovery).
- Scales with Strength better than Faith: 45/45 Str/Fth equals 608 AR (376 Phys, 231 Fire), 80/16 Str/Fth equals 619 AR (432 Phys, 185 Fire), and 9/80 Str/Fth equals 536 AR (280 Phys, 254 Fire).
- This weapon is very often used on a pure Strength build with just enough Faith to use it, however another devastating strategy is to prioritize Faith and make liberal use of the ranged lava on the weapon art.

My girlfriend was extremely lucky playing on her account. I was watching her fight these snake men, and I kid you not! She got it to drop on the very first one she killed! Mind blown, she didn’t have to farm at all, i was jealous af.

I just came here to say I was eventually going to farm for this but hadn’t gotten around to it and then while screwing around in duels trying to do a self destruct type build someone dropped me 2 +10s so maybe god does exist or maybe look like you’re in desperate need of help during a duel and people will pity you…
- Anonymous
not sure if this is helpful but i'll just share it.
Its best to have a ranged attack to kill the snake thats straight ahead when you exit the elevator so you dont have to run back and forth to the elevator. to tell if the snake drops a item you will see blue dust instead of yellow dust when you kill them that way you dont have to run to check if he drops a item and run to kill the other snake that is on the right door of the elevator.
i wish everyone farming this weapon the best of luck im praying for y'all dw.
- Anonymous
Exhausting to farming for this weapon cause of that stupid elevator ive spent more time on that elevator than actually fighting the snake men

I got this with only 999 discovery and a a cheated drop rate of 100% on my first kill! This is so unexspected!

It's a sidegrade to a fire/flame art bandit's curved sword. Don't go insane farming this unless you really like the style or the skill.
The skill is great, but you're losing out on overall damage, range, and flexibility.
Bandit's AR is slightly better for str/fire and a lot better for fth/flame art. If you're running flame tear in your flask, bandit's gets a bigger buff. Magma blade's physical AR is higher even for full fth.
If you aren't limiting your level, its damage cap is much higher due to split scaling. You can max out str, dex, and fth for nutty damage.

Legit the single rarest weapon in the game, hours upon hours of farming for all sorts of weapons and armor and this is still the only weapon I have never gotten on any of my saves. FromSoft please just drop it I beg you.

This weapon will carry any faith build throughout the latter stages of the game. The ash is very fast, hits VERY hard, tears up poise on anyone, and has lingering chip damage. I used this against Malekith, Gideon, Godfrey, and RadaBeast, and the weapon demolished all of them.

I am just farming this sick looking thing rn and went to the wiki again and again despite knowing the drop chance beforehand - but i just had to read the other comments to get some mental support because it just won't drop. Also Note - I start hating wooden elevators for some convoluted reasons
- Anonymous
the drop rate had to be reduced...i farmed these on my second character over a year ago and got 2 within an hour... going back on my first character now its been days, taking breaks in between farming and going to get other items and things i missed. all attempts at 50 ARC with silver scarab talisman but most recent run I managed 5 shields and over 100k runes between the 3 manserpents and the albinauric and not a single blade. they drop like less than 750 runes each at NG... thats over 130 times ive killed them... and that was just today, not even my previous farming runs... if you got even 1 without trying you have no idea how lucky you are. gave up again because my game froze at load screen.

Finally got this weapon on a play thru. Wow. Just super cool and powerful. Rarely use curved swords until this. I paired it up with another of different type and changed build to strength/ faith. Just a monster weapon and I'm not used to it yet. I invade in pvp a lot early game. I fought Twink phantom who was using this when I was lvl 12 , no weapon upgrade . He Just erased me with 1 l1 swipe and I had no idea this weapon existed. No wonder hard to get. Curved swords are sneaky strong I have discovered. A+ weapon.

RNG felt 100% generous for giving me a Magma Blade on the first Man-Serpent kill, shortly after defeating Godskin Nipples. That aside, this is an
excellent tool for high Faith, low Strength investments. No need to Powerstance, if you're just going to meaty Magma Shower through enemies.

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.

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.

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.

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

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..

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.

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)

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*

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
