The Blasphemous Blade is a Greatsword in Elden Ring. It becomes available in the middle of a run.

The Blasphemous Blade is the sacred sword of Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, its surface writhing with the remains of the heroes he devoured. It is obtained by trading the Remembrance of the Blasphemous with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. It deals physical and fire damage and restores some HP whenever an enemy dies nearby while it is held. Its unique skill, Taker's Flames, raises the blade aloft and brings it down to fire a forward blast of flame that scales only with Faith and steals HP from those it hits. It suits a Faith or Strength and Faith character who wants a strong ranged skill with built-in healing.

Stats

The Blasphemous Blade heals 4% of max HP plus 40 whenever an enemy dies nearby just by being held, whether this sword landed the kill or not, and Taker's Flames heals 10% of max HP plus 150 on hit. The skill deals pure fire damage that scales only with Faith. That sustain, more than its raw attack, makes it the standard Strength and Faith pick.

Skill

Taker's Flames costs no FP. The wielder raises the sword to set it ablaze with blasphemous flames, then brings it down to send a blast of fire surging forward. If the flames hit an enemy, the wielder heals for 10 percent of maximum HP plus a flat amount. The fire damage scales with Faith, and the skill cannot be parried. It is exclusive to this weapon.

"Raise the sacred sword aloft to set it ablaze with blasphemous flames, then bring it down to fire off a forward blast. The flames steal HP from those they touch."
