The fire whip from patches’ quest throws magma absolutely everywhere. The giant’s braid and the candlestick whips are solid options for mimicking the whip-like attacks of the blades of chaos, both also have 360 degree fire weapon arts.
@@Giggles_iJest He is easy to miss. He is in a cave near the first bloody finger invasion where Yura helps you. Unlike many quest lines his does not continue if you skip steps so for you he is likely still in that cave waiting to ambush you.
@@gotworc you get the whip free of farming from patches. You can farm more but they are a rare drop and I can't be bothered. Takes way less time to just do patches' quest.
Farm tips: There is a shortcut lift near the Eglay grace (just outside) that takes you to the middle of two, in that dark room with the crawly dude hiding on the floor. This saves a ton of time since you will probably be doing this for ages. I think you can unlock it from that dark room if you haven't already. I don't know if the lizards without the fire on their swords drop the magma blade either, I only went outside, up the lift, killed the crawly dude on the floor, down the stairs to the right and killed the first magma lizard, and then back up and across to the second one, then quick map, triangle to get you to the last grace, and X. You can even quick map fast travel away if one of the fire zombies notices you for the most part. Other tip is to wear the black knife chest armor since it removes the noise from your running and the lizard people won't hear you and you can get the first hit in.
It's actually better to kill the far one first and come back to get the one down the stairs close the elevator. Because of his route, he'll be walking close by instead of having to chase him down further away. Thanks for these tips though! I just got 2 swords using Silver Scarab and Silver Pickled Fowl Foot. My discover was at 281 at the time.
I got two in about 10 minutes. For anyone having issues just respec into arcane- I had mine at 80, i used the tear mask, and the consumable to boost discovery. Didn't even use the silver scarab. My discovery was 239 at the time of me farming. hope this helps someone
@@goblinslayer3002 I ended up using white fowl foot to get 248 discovery and got it hour after, the item drop is stupidly low if you still want it do everything to increase item discovery
unbelievable, i spent 95 runs with no luck at MAX discovery (324). The moment i started to feel like giving up, it dropped on the 96th attempt, i was ecstatic, i did another run just to see what would happen and it dropped again back to back, unreal. Don't give up.
My arcane level is at 9 and I used no foot, and got the blade in in under 30 minutes. What ppl not realizing is tht item increase drop from them when u attack while the snake is charging up its ash of war. Don’t need any arcanes or foot just timing.
Just to clarify: The running L1 for paired curved swords does hit 4 times, but the first 2 hits do significantly less damage than the next 2. It's less of a 2x damage vs a normal L1, more of a 1.25x damage. It's good for building statuses tho.
You want to use claw talisman (jump enhance) anyway as the jump moveset of the curved swords are best of all weapons. The dmg is nutty (4 hits). I meant instead of what he talked about in the video about running attack, at least in pve.
Another thing Id like to add is that using the fire giant braid whip gives him a move similar to swinging the blades around and you can also mimic his other weapons from the previous games before god of war 4 like the arma of sparta using the erdtree greatshield and the commanders standard and a greatsword to resemble the blade of olympus, kratos even had a bow at one point I see so many kratos builds based around his axr wielding full bearded version in god of war 4 but I never see any oldschool kratos builds, not to mention he had a shit ton of magic such as summoning entire lightning storms, so use lightning miracles, also use horah louxs earthshaker to recreate the atlas quake :)
To anyone struggling to make the lizard’s drop the blade, I recommend using the silver-pickled fowl foot. I went about 10 tries without it, didn’t get anything, but for the first try with it on,the blade dropped. Keep in mind though that it only lasts 3 minutes and when you teleport to grace, the effect is removed.
For anyone that really wants the magma whip as well. You need to progress in the Volcano Manor Quest and (most important of all) do the request that Patches gives you. After doing the request and re starting the area you need to go talk to him and ask for your share of the reward
@@LinKueiM4aster if you're at the God skin boss grace it's directly opposite of the lift. There's a doorway outside to a tiny area that has another doorway with a lift that takes you directly to the room by the hallway.
@@usbsolovader9 you have to activate the lift from above, go inside the room right after the first lizard with the magma blade, and turn left, you’ll find a lift at the end, go down the lift and you’ll find yourself at the grace area.
Since I kept dying on the drop you showed here, I dropped before the elevation on the rock just close enough to the lava and it didn't kill me. It didn't even made a big dent on my HP.
If you're using and don't want to waste your silver claws inefficiently you can make a quick loop and run it twice. After you kill the 2nd magma sword serpent pull a 180, go down the lift and it will bring you back to the site of grace. Should have plenty of time to run the route again before the Item discovery buff wears off. Happy Hunting!
I've been using 2 of these together for a few days and I love it. However, I recently thought of off-handing Scavenger's Curved Sword instead, which would take away from the aesthetic a bit, but allow us to add bleed + another affinity like poison/cold/sacred/occult/etc with the ash of war. I am Faith/Strength, so I made the sword Sacred affinity to scale with Faith, along with it's innate bleed. Now I'm proccing bleed on enemies, and can buff myself with Golden Vow before fights with the Ash of War on the Scavenger's sword. The the only issue with dual-wielding the Magma Blade's, is that the one in your off-hand is kind of useless. It's considered a special weapon, so you cannot change the Ash of War, and you can't alter the affinity or even buff the sword with incantations.
I'm at lvl 83 when i start hunting this item. I ended up lvl 87 when it finally drop, 700 per runes this lizard. I also kill the enemy at the lift shortcut to the grace in godskin and it drop an helmet "black dumpling" that increase damage when inflicted by madness, cool. Also, i left about 5 message on that area because it took me so long, i almost go mad. Fvcking Volcanic Stones!!! I'm on my 2nd magma blade.
Working on kratos build rn. Got the highland axe with frost ash of war and two of these magma blades. Use the fire giant whips too to mimic the long range chaos blade attacks. Use alot of healing and lightening faith as well. Fun build and ton of variety so you're not stuck with one weapon
@@Sothros I haven’t found one that fits him yet :( but some armor looks decent on him. Nothing too kratos like that I’ve found yet. Level 355 and counting!😁
The snake dude with the giant head drops the gelmir glintstone staff. It boosts lava sorcery. I would recommend farming him while trying for the magma blade.
True lol, but its really nice though that people are trying different things other than just bleed twinblades or rivers of blood w/e. There are an insane amount of super strong weapons/ashes of war in this game that people really need to broaden their horizons and try out.
Holy crap. Wasn't Patches talking about this? The old iron maiden inside the academy that will transport you somewhere? I never realised that's what he meant or if it isn't just another prank of his.
tried farming for the magma blade several times until I lost patience and gave up on it. Then started playing a lot again after the DLC released. Figured I'd try again kicks and ended up with 2 of them in less than an hour. Also had the same deal farming for the Noble slender sword as well as one other which I can't remember what it was. used the mimic tear mask, silver scarab pendant as well as a new one which raises arcane and a Marika's Soreseal and some silver pickled fowl's feet.
I finally got my second one and it’s so much fun. Dual wielding them at +10 is so powerful it even destroys enemy with high fire resistance which is wild.
I was able to get my very 1st magma blade while i was trying to get to the Somber Smithing Stone 7 after killing godskin noble because i killed a bunch of man-serpent mobs, i wasnt even aware that they drop the weapon and i didnt even know it was a great weapon. And the best part is i got the weapon after a couple of man serpent kills, eventually i wanted to dual wield it and i figured that since it was a super rare weapon, i probably used a shit ton of my rng... and i was right because it took me more than 5 hours of constant man serpent grind for my 2nd magma blade, it was boring but hey, at least i got 2 of them now. Especially since im getting bored of spamming Fallingstar Beast Jaw
1:23 you should mention that they have to kill you with the grab attack animation for this transportation to work. Just getting killed by them won't work it has to be with the grab attack. Just to clarify for people
I farmed these over the past weekend to complete my weapon collection and it took me more than 5 hours and hundreds of dead magma weapon lizardmen before one finally dropped for me. Obtaining any other weapon literally never took more than a fraction of that time. So either I had a streak of really really bad luck or the drop rate on this thing is fucking shit.
Idea easy farm: safe/backup your game data in playstation cloud. Then do a session with a friend. While in the coop, drop the weapon for a him. He'll pick it up. Then he leaves. You restore the saved data and do the same again. Then your friend has two of them. Now he drops both weapons for you, pick them and jere you go. Then your friend restores his backup! Anyone has one of these and wants to do it with me? Let's meet with a password!
Damn didn’t even kno it could be so hard to farm these! I’m running the broken rivers katana build so arcane is at 50 and it dropped as soon as I killed my first lizard :o
Watching you melt the crucible knight duo in Redmane Castle that has been my bane of existence for the past 10 hours makes me jealous lol I finally have just given up and went off to Raya Lucaria.
5 hours straight farming with 260 discovery...then finally got my first drop. Did one more after that for the road and 2nd Magma Blade drops. Unfuckingbelievable! 😵🤣
This is old at this point, but if you spawn at the Temple Of Eiglay, go to the room on the right, take the elevator up you can get to the first snake man much faster. Afterwards jump down on the dried lava on the right, head southeast to the Abductor and in the window. You just saved yourself 3 min.
You actually CAN get the staff from the giant headed wizard lizard. I've only done the dungeon 3 times, once on my first character, and once somewhat recently. The second time thru the Manor, I got the staff as a drop. I was pretty shocked, I had never even heard of it before, and there only one of those enemies in the game to my knowledge. I think it's called the Gelmir Staff or something like that. It doesn't seem that great, but it DOES boost magma sorceries, which are trash even after the buff.
I got a notification for this video and im thankful. I have never been so drawn to a sword ever. I love this sword skill and the extra lava damage it gives off the ground is great. I am going to farm for this now. Thanks so much for the cool weapon and video!
Guys there’s a faster way to farm it don’t go in the elevator next to the site of grace there’s another one through a hallway on the left side of the temple
Is it worth stacking Arcane, Silver Scarab and Silver Chicken Feet when farming items like this, for better drop rates? Or is Discovery not really worth it?
I stacked arcane with clothing items and then popped a silver chicken foot and found it within an hour. If I had the silver scarab it would have gone faster i believe.
I used silver scarab and 110 base discovery and i got 2 of them in less than an hour. Just go down the lift kill the firat one and travel back to the grace site. But then the beast mans cleaver took me 5 hours i used 20 silver feet and ran out and then got it with just the scarab. RNG baby 😂
NOOOOOOO NOT RNG!!!!! xD I still haven't been able to get a halo scythe after tons of farming, now another amazing weapon locked away from me forever bc of my terrible RNG luck ='/ Great guide though. Maybe one day I can role-play Kratos in Elden Ring lol
Honestly, respec into an arcane build to help the drop rate, I remember early game I was farming the cleanrot soldiers and couldn't get the set to drop for the life of me.. I had only 8 arcane and was utilizing the silver fowl foot. Decided it was bullshit after a few hours, leveled arcane to 14 and boom, I had the whole set in less than an hour plus the the spear, sword and scythe
@@calebjay7654 I have 55 arcane and was using the foot and no scythe after about an hour, just lots of armor I don't want lol. Going to get the silver scarab but I've pretty much accepted my bad RNG luck lol

It can't be just me dying dropping off that first ledge at 1:33. There's all kinds of bloodstains, nobody is living through it, there has to be something you are wearing to alleviate the fall damage, because you didn't even get hurt
@@Spicypinecone nope, he has a cat talisman, it's obvious (now), I just found it, kinda funny how it's picked up right at that enemy that teleports you here
So bummed. I've been farming here for an hour or two and cannot get this weapon to drop. I've got plenty of Man-Serpents shields and Gelmir Glintstone staves, though. Also, there is a doorway in the northern corner of the Temle of Eiglay grace room that leads to an elevator that takes you right to the start of the farming spot. Watch out for the grabby fellow on the left at the top of the elevator, though.
FInally got them about 5 hours of farming, 10 Gelmir Glintstone staves, 32 freaking Man-Serpent's shields and enough volcanic stones to build my own castle.
Will this weapon scale on Faith just as well as it does with strenght? Because I was looking to make a tanky Faith build and if so, I would definitely use this weapon
ya you can do an even split if you want, if you plan on use any incantations as a fun supplement, clawmark seal would fit well as it scales str and faith as well. also throwing boulders as a kratos cosplay is also dope as hell
Level up Faith to 25 for the Golden Vow + Flame Grant Me Strengh double Buff combo and then Level up STR to 60 for the Hard cap. At lvl 99 of STR, DEX and Faith it'll have over 1,000 of Power, which is insane.
Oddly enough, EVERYONE disgarees with your claim that the man-serpent drops the whip... so what is more likely, you trying to troll people into wasting their time or EVERYONE else sying they don't drop it?
I'm watching this video 7 months later after just beating the new goW, I put in 120 hours on elden ring, I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THIS WEAPON EXSISTED, god I love this game...
Wow, I'm running this with The Wing of Astel and I didn't realize that the weapon skill for the magma blade was so good!!! I'll be sure to power stance with it a lot more. Also guys, don't be afraid to throw the points into strength if you' are a Dex build. You can simply allocate a small percentage of runes to Strength in order to bolster damage up to what it probably would have if ran on a Strength build.
@@EverythingOMARZ he only says 2, the scorpion fire taliman and the alexander shard.. nothing eles, tried looking at the points for when eh show cases the talisman during a diffrent point i nthe vid but it only shows one so he hidding it.. plus i was asking the person ^ on what they used for talismans
@@filerwill fire scorpion, alexander shard, carian filigreed, and 4th is your choice, i like rotten sword insignia, but you could go greathshield talisman, turtle, starscourge (weakest choice imo), millicents prosthesis if you need the dex to hit 15 dex requirement, flocks if you plan on doing incantations as well. Ton of different options
You have obviously missed the point of the video or just didnt watch the whole thing. How does RoB fit into a Kratos RP? Yeah it might not hit 5k+ off one weapon art like ROB but nothing else is close to Blades of Chaos like those are. And for the Fashion Souls that it is, that is still 100% viable damage output for pve and pvp.
Honestly its very comparable damage-wise, obviously enemies with high fire res dont quite get melted but same thing can be said with rivers and enemies who cant be bled. Having done a full NG playthru with rivers and now a full playthru with magma blades, they are pretty comparable, rivers has the upper hand but its much closer than you might think. The one huge advantage though with the magma blades is that they actually do considerable poise damage, with the stonebarb physic, you will poise break a crucible knight, which is insane.
After reading alot of comments.. i can confirm. It still drops from the 2 lizards that are wielding it. Killing any other mob will not drop it. Also a rumor its locked behind a quest after 1.04. Also false. About 4 tries. With silver scarab, and silver tear mask with 193.0 discovery it dropped in 2 runs. Either ridiculous luck. Or either really easy.
This is one of the hardest weapons in the game to farm the drop rate on this thing must be less than one percent I was trying to farm it yesterday using silver fowl foot and silver scarab and it just would not drop after like 50 plus kills on the correct snakes however if you manage to get two of them try using Millicent’s talismans both of them since they stack and will make your damage very good I like them cause that use the same stats and build you can use with the blasphemous blade and that weapon is top tier and a greatsword that is my favorite weapon class
@@widaflow I dual wield them :D B. Blade (my fav weapon still) in left hand so I get the heals from kills, Sacred in the right for the L2. Boom, easy mode unlocked lol.
@@Sectoidzor Lmao you guys take everything too literal. When I read, I do the pauses myself. This ain't some school class room. Read at your own pace. Pause at places where you would have put a comma if you wrote it.
Hey guys just a quick tip: Respec ur arcane to 99 and trust me you’ll get it very soon. It only took me an hour to get 2 blades! I did not use scarab or silverfoot so I had about 200discovery with 99 arc
To Farm this weapon go north from Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace then west through a doorway then through the door up the lift at the top watch out for the enemy on the left then go down the hall kill the 1st one then turn around and on your way back to the lift go through the doorway on the left this will take you behind the 2nd one kill it then go back down the lift to the site of grace to reset then repeat.
Got it. Thanks for the route improvement. The OP's route was hot trash. I forgot where the lift even took you to as well so i can't blame him..... too much
Can confirm: No it hasn’t been patched. Drops from the first 2 with glowing swords not sure on the ones in the church. It dropped for me twice on the second snake. Yes you can get it to drop twice to dual wield them. Yes the snake priest will drop the staff, it boosts lava sorcery. Best bet is to get the silver scarab charm and just pop silver foots every run. Tip to make things a little smoother is to reset the elevator every time so you don’t have to pull the switch when you fast travel back
Extremely high levels of Arcane, the silver scarab talisman, and a silver pickle foot will shorten your farming time by probably... 95% guys lol. I farmed the beastman curved swords in Crumbling Farum Azula for like an hour to get a pair. On my arcane guy, the first 2 kills dropped a sword each.
Am I the only one who didn’t have much issue trying to farm these? I only farmed for about an hour and got 2. The first one I got within my first 10-15 tries, the other took a little longer but it didn’t take me NEARLY as long as people say (I had 268 discovery)
There is a much better shortcut from the eglay grace. Go in the opposite direction from the lift (north from grace). There is another lift outside that hidden door to get to the lizards.
The fire whip from patches’ quest throws magma absolutely everywhere. The giant’s braid and the candlestick whips are solid options for mimicking the whip-like attacks of the blades of chaos, both also have 360 degree fire weapon arts.

Thank you! I already have the Kratos look I just needed a build!
whats the armor?
@@Sothros I haven’t found one that fits him yet :( but some armor looks decent on him. Nothing too kratos like that I’ve found yet. Level 355 and counting!😁
@@jombotg just use the champion pauldron
@@harakiribanzai2483 thanks!
@@harakiribanzai2483 Thanks, where can I find it?
The snake dude with the giant head drops the gelmir glintstone staff. It boosts lava sorcery. I would recommend farming him while trying for the magma blade.
I love waking up and seeing what the “absolute best weapon in the game” is today.
True lol, but its really nice though that people are trying different things other than just bleed twinblades or rivers of blood w/e. There are an insane amount of super strong weapons/ashes of war in this game that people really need to broaden their horizons and try out.
Blood builds and power stancing colossal weapons with jump attacks is all you see atm
Holy crap. Wasn't Patches talking about this? The old iron maiden inside the academy that will transport you somewhere? I never realised that's what he meant or if it isn't just another prank of his.
I recommend using a silver pickled fowl foot along with the silver scarab! I got the drop on my third run !
insanely lucky, im on my 86th run with no luck
Thanks
tried farming for the magma blade several times until I lost patience and gave up on it. Then started playing a lot again after the DLC released. Figured I'd try again kicks and ended up with 2 of them in less than an hour. Also had the same deal farming for the Noble slender sword as well as one other which I can't remember what it was. used the mimic tear mask, silver scarab pendant as well as a new one which raises arcane and a Marika's Soreseal and some silver pickled fowl's feet.
Warning: I went through the 5 stages of grief while trying to farm this weapon.
did you use silver pickled foot
@@odneskull9228 nobody farms something for 3 hours without thinking "maybe I should use silver foot" 45 minutes in. YES I USED SILVER FOOT
This took me 4 hours to farm 2. Worst experience in my life
@@Ziabetus my boi isn't in the mood to take shit rn 😂
True man, I’ve got the silver scarab talisman and 1 hour straight I haven’t gotten 1
I finally got my second one and it’s so much fun. Dual wielding them at +10 is so powerful it even destroys enemy with high fire resistance which is wild.
If your farming go respec your arcane it helps a bunch
I was able to get my very 1st magma blade while i was trying to get to the Somber Smithing Stone 7 after killing godskin noble because i killed a bunch of man-serpent mobs, i wasnt even aware that they drop the weapon and i didnt even know it was a great weapon. And the best part is i got the weapon after a couple of man serpent kills, eventually i wanted to dual wield it and i figured that since it was a super rare weapon, i probably used a shit ton of my rng... and i was right because it took me more than 5 hours of constant man serpent grind for my 2nd magma blade, it was boring but hey, at least i got 2 of them now.
Especially since im getting bored of spamming Fallingstar Beast Jaw
1:23 you should mention that they have to kill you with the grab attack animation for this transportation to work. Just getting killed by them won't work it has to be with the grab attack.
Just to clarify for people
I agree, if you are killed any other way, you go back to where you started and have to do it again
1:21 RIP 24k 😬
I farmed these over the past weekend to complete my weapon collection and it took me more than 5 hours and hundreds of dead magma weapon lizardmen before one finally dropped for me. Obtaining any other weapon literally never took more than a fraction of that time. So either I had a streak of really really bad luck or the drop rate on this thing is fucking shit.
I've been at it for years
@@justwraith999 uh ... years? What.
The game "desire sensor" is working :D
Idea easy farm: safe/backup your game data in playstation cloud. Then do a session with a friend. While in the coop, drop the weapon for a him. He'll pick it up. Then he leaves.
You restore the saved data and do the same again. Then your friend has two of them.
Now he drops both weapons for you, pick them and jere you go. Then your friend restores his backup!
Anyone has one of these and wants to do it with me? Let's meet with a password!
Damn didn’t even kno it could be so hard to farm these! I’m running the broken rivers katana build so arcane is at 50 and it dropped as soon as I killed my first lizard :o
Or you know, just stay on the wheel and it spits you out at the robots feet. :)
Watching you melt the crucible knight duo in Redmane Castle that has been my bane of existence for the past 10 hours makes me jealous lol I finally have just given up and went off to Raya Lucaria.
5 hours straight farming with 260 discovery...then finally got my first drop. Did one more after that for the road and 2nd Magma Blade drops. Unfuckingbelievable! 😵🤣
unbefuckinglievable
This is old at this point, but if you spawn at the Temple Of Eiglay, go to the room on the right, take the elevator up you can get to the first snake man much faster. Afterwards jump down on the dried lava on the right, head southeast to the Abductor and in the window. You just saved yourself 3 min.
The Magma Wyrm Scalesword is also a amazing weapon !
He says that in the vid
Yeah I started, not knowing I had to defeat a boss that's immune to fire weapons. My blasphemous blade did absolutely FCK all to him.
Thanks for the video man.
Keep moving forward 🙏
i do not suggest doing this build. been 7 hours grinding for 2 blades. seen my kids grow up and go off to collage before i get 2 of these blades
You dont have to use the iron maiden to get to that spot in volcano manor, you can use the hidden passage in one of the manor's rooms to get there.
You actually CAN get the staff from the giant headed wizard lizard. I've only done the dungeon 3 times, once on my first character, and once somewhat recently. The second time thru the Manor, I got the staff as a drop. I was pretty shocked, I had never even heard of it before, and there only one of those enemies in the game to my knowledge. I think it's called the Gelmir Staff or something like that. It doesn't seem that great, but it DOES boost magma sorceries, which are trash even after the buff.
I got a notification for this video and im thankful. I have never been so drawn to a sword ever. I love this sword skill and the extra lava damage it gives off the ground is great. I am going to farm for this now. Thanks so much for the cool weapon and video!
Guys there’s a faster way to farm it don’t go in the elevator next to the site of grace there’s another one through a hallway on the left side of the temple
Is it worth stacking Arcane, Silver Scarab and Silver Chicken Feet when farming items like this, for better drop rates? Or is Discovery not really worth it?
I stacked arcane with clothing items and then popped a silver chicken foot and found it within an hour. If I had the silver scarab it would have gone faster i believe.
scarab only enough i farm for 1.5 hour got 2 of them , the silver feet just waste time and resources better craft golden feet
I used silver scarab and 110 base discovery and i got 2 of them in less than an hour. Just go down the lift kill the firat one and travel back to the grace site. But then the beast mans cleaver took me 5 hours i used 20 silver feet and ran out and then got it with just the scarab. RNG baby 😂
I think its a hit or miss, I have about 31 points into arcane and i managed to find 2 magma blades in about an hour of farming. So its purely RNG!
Get the silver tear mask that boosts arcane by 20!
The jump attacks also hit twice and I think do some stance breaking as well.
NOOOOOOO NOT RNG!!!!! xD I still haven't been able to get a halo scythe after tons of farming, now another amazing weapon locked away from me forever bc of my terrible RNG luck ='/
Great guide though. Maybe one day I can role-play Kratos in Elden Ring lol
Honestly, respec into an arcane build to help the drop rate, I remember early game I was farming the cleanrot soldiers and couldn't get the set to drop for the life of me.. I had only 8 arcane and was utilizing the silver fowl foot. Decided it was bullshit after a few hours, leveled arcane to 14 and boom, I had the whole set in less than an hour plus the the spear, sword and scythe
@@calebjay7654 I have 55 arcane and was using the foot and no scythe after about an hour, just lots of armor I don't want lol. Going to get the silver scarab but I've pretty much accepted my bad RNG luck lol

Oof, I had one dropped because the rotten knights were being annoying and it was easier without them in the way, I was pure int with 9 arcane too.
Finally this weapon gets noticed. Its nuts!
I keep dying on the drop😭
It can't be just me dying dropping off that first ledge at 1:33. There's all kinds of bloodstains, nobody is living through it, there has to be something you are wearing to alleviate the fall damage, because you didn't even get hurt
Nope I’ve done that drop many times and have never died. You’re game may just be bugged
@@Spicypinecone nope, he has a cat talisman, it's obvious (now), I just found it, kinda funny how it's picked up right at that enemy that teleports you here
@@djcontra4514 cat talisman doesn’t stop you from dying from a fall.
@@Spicypineconeit helps with it
So bummed. I've been farming here for an hour or two and cannot get this weapon to drop. I've got plenty of Man-Serpents shields and Gelmir Glintstone staves, though. Also, there is a doorway in the northern corner of the Temle of Eiglay grace room that leads to an elevator that takes you right to the start of the farming spot. Watch out for the grabby fellow on the left at the top of the elevator, though.
Get the silver scarab and silver foot, it should help in item discovery
@@styrocupp I'm using them, but the game is just straight-up denying me. It's just holding on tight to these weapons.
FInally got them about 5 hours of farming, 10 Gelmir Glintstone staves, 32 freaking Man-Serpent's shields and enough volcanic stones to build my own castle.
Just wanted to add here again that you can follow up the L2 of the Magma Wyrm's Scalesword with another L2 since I only see you using the jump attack
Will this weapon scale on Faith just as well as it does with strenght? Because I was looking to make a tanky Faith build and if so, I would definitely use this weapon
It has a C at +10 so I would say its worth to pump Faith the same as Str.
ya you can do an even split if you want, if you plan on use any incantations as a fun supplement, clawmark seal would fit well as it scales str and faith as well. also throwing boulders as a kratos cosplay is also dope as hell
Level up Faith to 25 for the Golden Vow + Flame Grant Me Strengh double Buff combo and then Level up STR to 60 for the Hard cap. At lvl 99 of STR, DEX and Faith it'll have over 1,000 of Power, which is insane.
1. There is an easier way to reach that location, than following the abductor route.
2. The whip man-serpent drops its magma whip. I have both
Oddly enough, EVERYONE disgarees with your claim that the man-serpent drops the whip... so what is more likely, you trying to troll people into wasting their time or EVERYONE else sying they don't drop it?
@@AcidDotDrop well, I mean, I have the magma whip, and I got it from a man-serpent in that area soooooo
How do you get two of these? if you have one, can the opponents drop another one?
yes
I'm watching this video 7 months later after just beating the new goW, I put in 120 hours on elden ring, I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THIS WEAPON EXSISTED, god I love this game...
I’ve been farming this weapon for a week 😭
Respec into an arcane build to help the drop rate
I literally got it my first kill
Wow, I'm running this with The Wing of Astel and I didn't realize that the weapon skill for the magma blade was so good!!! I'll be sure to power stance with it a lot more. Also guys, don't be afraid to throw the points into strength if you' are a Dex build. You can simply allocate a small percentage of runes to Strength in order to bolster damage up to what it probably would have if ran on a Strength build.
what talismens should i roll with this build?
@@filerwill he literally says them in the video
@@EverythingOMARZ he only says 2, the scorpion fire taliman and the alexander shard.. nothing eles, tried looking at the points for when eh show cases the talisman during a diffrent point i nthe vid but it only shows one so he hidding it.. plus i was asking the person ^ on what they used for talismans
that is your okay to say your talisman set up
@@filerwill fire scorpion, alexander shard, carian filigreed, and 4th is your choice, i like rotten sword insignia, but you could go greathshield talisman, turtle, starscourge (weakest choice imo), millicents prosthesis if you need the dex to hit 15 dex requirement, flocks if you plan on doing incantations as well. Ton of different options
It might look cool, but how effective is the thing DMG wise compared to a RoB, for example?
You have obviously missed the point of the video or just didnt watch the whole thing. How does RoB fit into a Kratos RP? Yeah it might not hit 5k+ off one weapon art like ROB but nothing else is close to Blades of Chaos like those are. And for the Fashion Souls that it is, that is still 100% viable damage output for pve and pvp.
Honestly its very comparable damage-wise, obviously enemies with high fire res dont quite get melted but same thing can be said with rivers and enemies who cant be bled. Having done a full NG playthru with rivers and now a full playthru with magma blades, they are pretty comparable, rivers has the upper hand but its much closer than you might think. The one huge advantage though with the magma blades is that they actually do considerable poise damage, with the stonebarb physic, you will poise break a crucible knight, which is insane.
Go watch on RUclips where a guy melts all the major bosses with two of these in NG+7.
Definitely viable.
After reading alot of comments.. i can confirm.
It still drops from the 2 lizards that are wielding it. Killing any other mob will not drop it. Also a rumor its locked behind a quest after 1.04. Also false.
About 4 tries. With silver scarab, and silver tear mask with 193.0 discovery it dropped in 2 runs. Either ridiculous luck. Or either really easy.
absolutely insane luck, im on my 86th run
Awesome weapon i farmed for awhile but sadly not nearly as good as regular scimitars with bleed affinity.
Have hope guys, it took me 3 hours but it was worth it
can we PLEASE dupe it yo. i’ve been at it for 6 hours…
Idk Rivers of Blood is kinda nasty rn
Yeah but everybody is already using it it's kinda boring
Spellcasting guy drops a staff that scales with int and faith and the whip also drops
whip comes from a questline, i dont think the enemy can drop one
This is one of the hardest weapons in the game to farm the drop rate on this thing must be less than one percent I was trying to farm it yesterday using silver fowl foot and silver scarab and it just would not drop after like 50 plus kills on the correct snakes however if you manage to get two of them try using Millicent’s talismans both of them since they stack and will make your damage very good I like them cause that use the same stats and build you can use with the blasphemous blade and that weapon is top tier and a greatsword that is my favorite weapon class
Till you get the sacred blade after you kill the Elden Beast.
Commas and punctuation please for the love of god
@@widaflow I dual wield them :D
B. Blade (my fav weapon still) in left hand so I get the heals from kills, Sacred in the right for the L2. Boom, easy mode unlocked lol.
@@Sectoidzor Lmao you guys take everything too literal. When I read, I do the pauses myself. This ain't some school class room. Read at your own pace. Pause at places where you would have put a comma if you wrote it.
@@dogs-game-too i just use it for easy farming. My go to weapons are dual frost Uchigatana and frost Nagakiba.
Hey guys just a quick tip: Respec ur arcane to 99 and trust me you’ll get it very soon. It only took me an hour to get 2 blades! I did not use scarab or silverfoot so I had about 200discovery with 99 arc
My arcane is at 9 and got mine in 6 runs was kinda crazy
Mine was at 14 and with a silver scarab when I got one in about 8 runs
@@sumomx9529 Jesus y’all are lucky LOL I was fully prepared to farm for days for 2 of these blades
@@joeker418 higher arcane definitely does help though! When using my blood build stuff dropped like crazy.
sorry I have too ,first,
To Farm this weapon go north from Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace then west through a doorway then through the door up the lift at the top watch out for the enemy on the left then go down the hall kill the 1st one then turn around and on your way back to the lift go through the doorway on the left this will take you behind the 2nd one kill it then go back down the lift to the site of grace to reset then repeat.
The only way to get this weapon is by killing the enemies that have it correct?
Got it. Thanks for the route improvement. The OP's route was hot trash. I forgot where the lift even took you to as well so i can't blame him..... too much
You get the magma whip after you do patches questline and kill the bull goat guy. Then ask for your reward and he’ll give it to you
Just farmed two of these in under 30 mins with 48 arcane. I equipped silver mask, silver scarab and used silver fowl feet
I've been using a Variant of this and it fun whats the armor you're wearing?
I love that thing, especially with Powerstancing
5h later, 70 arcane + silver scarab and silver picked foot and still no goddamn weapon
Amazing! I think the devs at fromsoftware actually made this for GOW fans.
If youre farming this item just farm the first two serpants that are holding the magna flame then run down elevator to grace.
I’m running deaths poker, and blasphemous build. If ghost flames don’t kill it my aow from blasphemous will.
using this build on ng+ 6 rn and its alot fun and still strong
@Vinn honestly hard to tell wich attribute it scales best with cuz i have str dex and fai at 99
take the elevator shortcut from the same grace sight. achieve it by going left after killing the first serpent. wayyyyyyyyy faster. good luck
I got it in less than 10 mins. Int build. I think anything overleveled characters will make farming any item easy. Not just the stats
Ace: heavy breathing
Pro-tip: Of course use the scarab and the chicken foot, but, go respec and max your arcane when you farm items!!! It makes it waaaaay faster...
Farmed this weapon last night. It's so dope.
if you’re on psn can we please dupe??
It's crazy I was already running this build ! Lpve this weapon man !
Now this one I commend you for very original. Great job! 👍
I mean, that curved sword that spams Nebula is the true MVP tho....
Can confirm: No it hasn’t been patched. Drops from the first 2 with glowing swords not sure on the ones in the church. It dropped for me twice on the second snake.
Yes you can get it to drop twice to dual wield them.
Yes the snake priest will drop the staff, it boosts lava sorcery.
Best bet is to get the silver scarab charm and just pop silver foots every run. Tip to make things a little smoother is to reset the elevator every time so you don’t have to pull the switch when you fast travel back
i let the thing kill me, that he said would transfer you to the volcano area, it just took me back to the grace point I started at?
so many childhood memories, playing " the floor is lava"
finally, again, i can play 😍😍😍
jump under the bridge after killing the second lizard for another 2 hiding in the lava, this increases it from 4-6 lizard chances :)
This is awesome i definetly want to try this build god of war has been my life since I was a kid
So wait? There is a faster way to travel to the Volcano manor at Raya academy? 😱
110 hours into this game and still have so many secrets to be found!
Extremely high levels of Arcane, the silver scarab talisman, and a silver pickle foot will shorten your farming time by probably... 95% guys lol.
I farmed the beastman curved swords in Crumbling Farum Azula for like an hour to get a pair. On my arcane guy, the first 2 kills dropped a sword each.
Do you think of Giant's seal and Rotten Winged Insignia would complement this build well?
glad to see that its basically agreed upon that the warrior gear is def kratos fashion
Ooh, I'm def gonna have to get those swords as a power stance-ing faith build
if you're getting hit by the killboxes on the kill drop in the manor, you can jump over it into the lava for more consistent runs
Am I the only one who didn’t have much issue trying to farm these? I only farmed for about an hour and got 2. The first one I got within my first 10-15 tries, the other took a little longer but it didn’t take me NEARLY as long as people say (I had 268 discovery)
There is a much better shortcut from the eglay grace. Go in the opposite direction from the lift (north from grace). There is another lift outside that hidden door to get to the lizards.
