The Blade of Calling is a Dagger in Elden Ring. It becomes available in the middle of a run.

The Blade of Calling is the dagger given to one who set out long ago to fulfill her duty, still bearing the power of its former owner, the kindling maiden Melina. It lies on a table in a hidden room reached by jumping off the lift that descends to the Forbidden Lands. It deals physical and holy damage, shares the quick double-slash heavy attack of the Black Knife, and is very light. Its unique skill, Blade of Gold, leaps into the air and fires a blade-like projectile that deals heavy holy damage at long range, scaling with Faith but not Strength or Dexterity. It suits a Faith or Dexterity and Faith build.

How to Get Blade of Calling Guide

Skill

Blade of Gold costs 17 FP. The wielder crouches, then leaps into the air and fires a single blade-like projectile of golden flame that deals holy damage scaling with Faith. The blast launches struck enemies backward. Heavy hyper armor while airborne makes the skill very hard to interrupt once the leap begins. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"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."

Suggested Build

Fire Blade of Gold from a safe distance, using spirit ashes to hold attention, and fall back on quick dagger combos up close.

Stats	Faith 60 to 80 for the strongest Blade of Gold, or Dexterity 45 and Faith 45 for balanced melee; Vigor 40 to 50, Mind 29
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Shard of Alexander, Sacred Scorpion Charm, Two Fingers Heirloom

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."
