PassiveSword of Night and Flame is a Straight Sword in Elden Ring. The Sword of Night and Flame scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith and has a powerful Unique Skill, Night-and-Flame Stance, which allows the user to hold the sword level and follow up with a normal attack to cast the Comet Azur sorcery or a strong attack to sweep forward with a burst of flame causing Fire Damage.
Storied sword and treasure of Caria Manor.
One of the legendary armaments.
Astrologers, who preceded the sorcerers, established themselves in mountaintops that nearly touched the sky, and considered the Fire Giants their neighbors.
Sword of Night and Flame Location in Elden Ring
The Sword of Night and Flame weapon can be found in Caria Manor in a locked room behind the gardens in the east side of the manor.
Begin at the Manor Lower Level site of grace and proceed east across the rooftops, being wary of any spirit soldiers that may appear. From the first intersection, head north and continue down the pathway until the next junction is reached.
At this next junction, face north and continue for a few steps.
Looking down over the edge of the walkway (around halfway through to the next junction), you should see a platform containing a ladder. This is your goal -- see image below. You can jump from the walkway down onto the upper roof, then down again to reach the platform where the ladder is.
Once you've descended the ladder, there will be a chest containing the sword next to a chair near the center of the room.

Elden Ring Sword of Night and Flame Notes & Tips
- Weapon Skill: Night-and-Flame Stance
- This weapon cannot be infused with Ashes of War
- Cannot be enchanted with Magic nor boosted by Consumables.
- Sword of Night and Flame can be upgraded by using Somber Smithing Stones.
- This weapon utilizes Thrusting R2s when one-handed, and Slashing R2s when two-handed. Due to the very low STR scaling, and the superior thrusting moveset, one-handing this weapon is advised in most scenarios
- The Comet (L2+R1) weapon skill does not count as a sorcery but does inflict magic damage; its damage is affected by the INT portion of the weapon's scaling and weapon level. The night beam is also buffed by the Spellblade Set.
- The Flame Burst (L2+R2) weapon skill is affected by the FTH portion of the weapon scaling and weapon level.
- Although damage from the two weapon art attacks scale with INT or FTH, they do so at a relatively low level, and are still very effective even at minimum stat requirements.
- Sell Value:
1000 - Due to its inherently high FP cost, it's highly recommended to either have high Mind or the Carian Filigreed Crest.
- One of the few weapons that can make good use of the Greathood, a very unique piece of armor that provides +2 to INT and FTH.
- When utilized with a high Intelligence build, even the damage from the L2+R1 can be substantial. However, the L2+R2 suffers from a long cast time and is most useful when sneaking up on large packs of enemies.
- The Confessor starting class starts with exactly 12 Strength and 12 Dexterity, which already meets the minimum Strength and Dexterity requirements of the weapon, allowing one to only invest on Intelligence and Faith for the weapon with the said class.
- The Astrologer starting class starts with 8 Strength and 12 Dexterity, which meets the Dexterity requirements of the weapon. While requiring 4 more Strength to meet the Strength requirement, can also be used for creating a dedicated SoNaF build without any excessive Strength or Dexterity stat.
- Although this weapon deals fire damage, the regular attack damage does not remove the buildup of frostbite (at least in some cases). While this might seem to limit its function when paired with Frostbite, it actually improves it quite a bit. Frost procs will reduce enemy defenses, which most of the time is not that useful compared to the large burst damage, however, the SoNaF splits damage between 3 different types, and so is particularly weak against enemies with high defenses. Attacking into frostbitten enemies will deal significantly more damage than with other weapons.
- It may be that there are instances where the fire damage from the SoNaF does re-set frostbite, but more testing would be needed to know for sure.
- One of the 9 Legendary Armaments.
- NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, Straight Swords poise damage has been reduced only on PVP.
- NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below. Additionally, the running attack speed, first attack speed and speed of guard counter of straight sword has increased. The attack recovery time has also decreased.
- Other notes and player tips go here.

although this deals fire damage, it does not seem to trigger "on fire damage" effects like detonating fire jars or igniting miranda flowers (unless you do the L2R2 of course)

Is this still good or, more importantly, fun to use after the nerfs? Was thinking about doing a whole playthrough with it because it looks cool.

to the untrained eye, this looks like a sword. it is actually a magic wand that can cast two different spells

Well, it is fun in pve.
Useful in a lot of situations, albeight being not optimal.
Paired with a faith build, the fire ability is just good with waves and even with single targets, while the comet is good when you have to get a single target or the enemy is simply weak to magic damage.
I used the marika's scarseal amulet at lowers levels to meet requirements, and that plus in mind gave me more mana (And this weapon is kinda mana-hungry) and at the same time enough arcane to access dragon's spells (Being mine a faith build, the logical one imho with this weapon).
Another piece of "Sorcery and Incantations are the same thing but from different perspectives" lore, but ironically from a different perspective from Radagon. This sword realizes that the fire of giants and magic of the stars are perhaps not completely unrelated, whereas Radagon takes it a step further and thinks they are two halves of the same whole. I hope we get more Golden Order spells in the DLC that expand upon this idea, an example of which would be Morgott's Golden Hammer.

The dual fire/night nature of this weapon aligns perfectly with the odd duality of Melina and Ranni. Both are the only two characters in the game who acknowledge Torrent. Both have a single eye always closed. Melina's purpose is to be a sacrifice for the giant's fire, while Ranni's purpose is for the night to rule The Lands Between.

Why do I hear and read "Night Comet" when it is actually "Comet Azur"? It makes no sense. Also being that, historically, this sword was made before Sorcerer Azur was even born.
If it actually blasted out "Night Comet" that would be beautiful.

Guys the night comet on this thing absolutely destroys the fire giant. It took just three beams to the ankle to get to phase two and then it made for an awesome experience, just blasting him in the eye (which does extra damage I found out) with the beam felt like a really brilliant way to defeat a giant

Running this on a level 150 "Spell-Master" INT/FTH build and it's fun and effective as hell. Here it is if anyone's interested:

Mind - 35 (200 FP)
Endurance - 12 + 5* (118 STM)
Strength - 8 + 5*
Dexterity - 35 + 5*
Intelligence - 40
Faith - 40
Arcane - 9
Talismans:
Erdtree's Favor +2
Radagon Icon
Radagon's Soreseal*
Shard of Alexander (both weapon arts will be doing stupid damage numbers)
Physick: Faith-knot Crystal Tear, Intelligence-knot Crystal Tear (combo buffs damage for ALL sources**)
Great Rune: Godrick's (optional of course)
RH: Sword of Night and Flame - AR 690 (723**)
LH: Golden Order Seal - Incant Scaling 317 (345**), Gelmir Glintstone Staff - Sorcery Scaling 264 (285**)
Armor (aesthetic focus, not optimized):
Carian Knight Armor
Carian Knight Greaves
Carian Knight Gauntlets
Aristocrat Headband
Sorceries/Incants:
Rykard's Rancor, Adula's Moonblade, Zamor Ice storm, Gelmir's Fury, Frozen Lightning Spear, A.D. Lightning Strike, Wrath of Gold, Stone of Gurranq, Golden Vow
(gives you all 4 elemental damage types + 1 physical, layering utility, frostbite procc/reset utility and a damn good body buff)
Can be a pain in the butt at times to switch between the staff and seal in the heat of combat but once you master it oh man it's a riot.

PvE-wise I'd say this weapon has a bit of a high skill ceiling and that's exclusively because of how long it takes to cast it's ash of war.
I'm on my first playthrough with it and I can't even tell you how many times I've been knocked out of the animation because it's so GD slow. I'm having to rethink every encounter and not just find a window, but a friggin open barn door. lol
Poise is a must.

The damage output on this thing is nuts!
At 80 Int/Fth - and 80 Str/Dex. This has an AR of 818!! Go into NG+ and power stance these you'll be hitting with 1636 damage every 2 hits!
Attack Power
Phys: 213 + 96
Magic: 137 + 117
Fire: 137 + 117
Obviously going past the str/dex requirements isn't ideal since you only an additional 96 AR. but not bad at all.

I like to dual-wield this with Golden Epitaph. Cast GE's art, Last Rites, and now you've got a Sword of Night and Flame that has added Holy attack damage and +100% damage vs. undead, as well as every individual type of SoNaF damage (phys, fire, magic, and now holy) buffed by 10% (5% pvp). Extremely useful for melting deathbirds, mariners, and other undeads.

This sword is great, makes me wish there were more melee weapons that scale with faith + int. Maybe a pure energy weapon like the coded sword? Or a sister sword that does frost and lightning? Hoping the dlc will give us something like that

So, people who used this a long time ago will remember it was absolutely nuts. Fromsoft nerfed it pretty hard (compared to it's previous self) in patch 1.03, where it was traded out in favour of weapons like Moonveil / Blasphemous blade, however it was patched in 1.07 to bring it back to a pretty close example of it's pre 1.03 self.
With pretty minimal stats, but optimal buffs, this thing can hit like a brick wall, and where Blasphemous Blade or Moonveil can crush enemies with appropriate resistances, Sword of Night and Flame has versatility that they don't with its ability to deal magic or fire damage.
It scales elegantly from early game with its wild attack damage from Night-and-Flame stance, until late game/ng+, where the damage is still crazy but you'll likely have 80/80 int/faith, which turns you into an ultra-wide range hybrid int-faith caster.
This weapon deserves more love, because while it might not be an outright posterchild like Moonveil/Blasphemous blade, it's up there with the greats -- just far quieter.

That sword is quite decent. At 80int/24 faith, it outdamages a +25 magic longsword.
There's a super versatile build to make with this, Prince of Death's Staff and Golden Order Seal. Badass sword + all sorceries + all incantation.

I read comments from people who used this Thing on fth or int builds.
Dont use it. ITS and int+fth weapon. With 45 int + 45 fth IT hast 684 ar. With 24 int + 70 fth you have only 670 ar. Same goes With 70 int and 24 fth. ITS a difference. Even My grave scythe With fth scaling (black Flame Tornado ashes of war) has Higher ar than this sword in a fth build ( 200 ar more) dont waist your points unless your are going for a int+fth build. U will Miss alot of DMG.

I am dual wielding these after applying frostbite (they don't remove frostbite status for some reason) and they just melt everything. I run shield and Warhawk Cold Talon for the double hitting cross slash style heavy attack (even when uncharged) to apply frostbite, then swap to dual SoNaF, it's been making solo play very easy. I think this weapon just has weird interactions because of it's 3 way split damage, I don't think any other weapon has this innately, but am unsure.

The perfect weapon for a Golden Order Fundamentalist build. Just completed NG7 with this and it is massively viable with 75/80 int faith. Fast becoming my favourite weapon.

this is the only weapon to justify the confessor starting class, and still it's tied with the astrologer for optimisation.
I play as a knight and leveled int and faith just to use this and helphen's steeple,and at +9 it does 580 at the bare minimum int and faith requirements,so it's completely viable even if you're not a magic build and just want a good straight sword
I mean,it's a sword that sets stuff on fire and can shoot magic death lasers,what more do you want?

I dont understand this sentence: "This weapon utilizes Thrusting R2s when one-handed, and Slashing R2s when two-handed. Due to the very low STR scaling, and the superior thrusting moveset, one-handing this weapon is advised in most scenarios"
I am in a NG+ so if I want to use two of these swords powerstanced and have a build with high INT+FAI would that somehow be weaker than having just one sword? Is there a difference between "thrusting" and "slashing" in terms of scaling? I thought it was only visually?

The good: it looks cool and has fun AoW
The bad: does crap damage and costs way too much FP.
Of all the legendary weapons in this game, this one requires way too much skill investment for very little return. Takes 6 swings to kill one low level soldier enemy? Boooooring. Might as well be using a wet noodle.
- Anonymous
Pretty sure that the damage from regular attacks with this weapon just doesn't count as fire damage for interactions with anything else. Doesn't affect fingercreepers or flowers.
- Anonymous
The basic attacks are weaker than a broadsword. The AOW is okay, but costs a ton of FP and is outclassed by a glintstone kris, moonveil, darkmoon greatsword or a frost spear. Bad weapon with high stat requirements.
If you're a caster of either faith or intel, you can stop looking for weapons after this one tbh unless you want something else stylistically. AoW acts as two spells that free up memory slots, and even on a hybrid intell/faith build they hit pretty hard if your enemy isn't resistant to magic or fire. Going full faith or full intell will still give you at least one nasty ability that'll hit like a freight train. The Comet portion also has a nasty habit of guard breaking or outright toppling over many human sized if you get a full beam, which isn't too difficult as the AI doesn't tend to want to bother to dodge it. The Flame Burst decimates crowds and staggers them briefly to SORTA make up for the very slow cast time; be careful, the wave can and will get you killed if you aren't careful with your timing.

This weapon just SCREAMS pairing it with death sorceries since raising faith and int effects both the sorceries and the weapon the most out of anything. Using this weapon along side these sorceries makes it so you can SPECIFICALLY focus on boosting int and faith (with some vitality of course but you get what i mean). making becoming optimal with the sorceries and the weapon alot easier to achieve in a first run

It's recommended to focus on boosting the magic beam by only getting the minimum faith for utility incatations (like golden vow) and using most of your levels on intelligence.
You should only be raising INT and FTH evenly if you're dual wielding two of these.
If you don't like either of those options, I suppose you could also focus on golden order spells and just use this on anything that resists holy.

Would the fact that it has 3 types of damage mean that those types of damage would have to pass through 3 different base defenses/resistances reducing the effective damage more?
