The Sword of Night and Flame remains one of the most versatile and powerful legendary armaments in Elden Ring. Combining physical slashes with devastating magic and fire skills, this weapon allows players to adapt seamlessly to both single-target boss fights and wide-area mob encounters. Finding its hidden location and optimizing your character stats ensures that you unleash its full potential early in your adventure.
Where to Find the Sword of Night and Flame
To acquire this legendary straight sword, players must navigate to Caria Manor located in the northern region of Liurnia of the Lakes. Starting from the Manor Lower Level Site of Grace, cross the elevated walkways while keeping an eye on the rooftops below. Drop onto the designated building roof and descend the ladder into a small room containing a chest with the weapon.
Stat Requirements and Attribute Distribution
Wielding this unique blade requires balanced attribute planning. Players need a minimum of 12 Strength, 12 Dexterity, 24 Intelligence, and 24 Faith to equip it effectively. Allocating points evenly into Intelligence and Faith will maximize the magical beam and fire sweep attacks respectively.
Combat Strategy and Ideal Gear Setup
The weapon art features two distinct stances: a light attack that fires a focused magic beam and a heavy attack that unleashes a broad fire sweep. Equipping talismans like the Carian Filigreed Crest significantly reduces the FP cost of these skills, allowing for frequent casting. Pairing the sword with a strong catalyst enables a hybrid playstyle that easily controls the battlefield.
