The Blasphemous Blade is a fire-infused greatsword obtained by trading in the Remembrance of the Blasphemous after defeating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. Its Taker's Flames skill unleashes a massive wave of fire that deals high damage and heals the user for a percentage of the damage dealt. This weapon is widely considered one of the best PvE weapons in Elden Ring, offering incredible sustain, range, and area damage.
Requires STR 22, DEX 15, FAI 21. At max upgrade (+10 Somber), scaling becomes STR D, DEX D, FAI C.

Taker's Flames slams the sword into the ground and unleashes a wave of fire in a wide cone in front of the user. The flame wave deals massive fire damage and heals the user for 10% of all damage dealt. The skill has excellent range, great stagger potential, and can hit multiple enemies at once. The healing effect makes it invaluable for exploration and boss fights where sustain matters.
FAI 80 — Max Taker's Flames damage with Flame Art infusion, Erdtree Seal for incantations
STR 40 / FAI 50 — Heavy armor, greatshield, melee pressure with fire damage
STR 30 / DEX 30 / FAI 50 — Jack of all trades, high versatility
Pro Tip
Taker's Flames' healing works on every enemy hit, not just the skill damage. Use it in crowded areas to restore massive HP from a single cast. Pair with the Shard of Alexander for 15% skill damage and the Fire Scorpion Charm for even more fire damage output.
