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.

  • Cannot be enchanted with Magic nor boosted by Consumables
  • Magma Blade can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones
  • Sell Value:  er runes 13 200
  • Base drop rate is 1% (at 100 Discovery).

      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…

          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.

            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.

                      For those complaining that you can't get the drop just stop the game isn't supposed to be easy if you didn't have this grind you would be complaining you had nothing to do.

                        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

                          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.

                                        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.

                                          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

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..

                                                        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)

                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                And suddenly I got it dropped by an enemy in someone else's world

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      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.

                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                          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.

                                                                                          • Anonymous
