The Blade of Calling is a Dagger in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

---

Mid game. It is found around Altus Plateau, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Upgrades

---

• Upgrades with Somber Smithing Stones to +10, one stone per level.
• Keeps its own skill permanently.

Skill

---

Blade of Gold costs 17 FP.

• Leap into the air, charging the armament with golden flames that are then shot at the enemy as a single, blade-like projectile. Inflicts holy damage.
• Unique to this weapon. It cannot be moved onto another weapon, and no Ash of War can replace it.

Build

---

It scales Str D, Dex D, Fai C, so Fai is where the levels go.

• Requires Str 6, Dex 13, Fai 15.
• Takes no Ash of War and no affinity, so the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round.

Critical Damage

---

Critical 110. A backstab, or a riposte after a guard break, is multiplied by this, where 100 is the baseline most weapons carry.

• 2 weapons of its class reach higher, topping out at 140.
• It pays for getting behind an enemy or breaking their stance rather than trading hits in the open.

Notes

---

• Dagger given to one who set out on a journey to fulfill her duty long ago. The power of its former owner, the kindling maiden, is still apparent.
• The one who walks alongside flame, Shall one day meet the road of Destined Death.

Where to Find

---

• Loot: Forbidden Lands Hidden within a room that you can only reach during the elevator ride that leads down to the Forbidden Lands grace, alongside the Official's Attire.
• Jump from the southwestern part of the elevator to a doorway just above the bottom floor.
