Blasphemous Claw is a tool in Elden Ring. It only turns up late in a run, in Crumbling Farum Azula.

Blasphemous Claw is a slab of rock carved with traces of the Rune of Death. It can deflect the power of the Black Blade. Its only purpose is the fight against Maliketh, the Black Blade. Timed well, it opens him up for a long counterattack.

Effect

Blasphemous Claw works like a parry against certain melee attacks from Maliketh. Those attacks are marked by a golden glow on his sword. A successful deflect stuns him for a moment. It is never used up and costs no FP.

"A slab of rock engraved with traces of the Rune of Death. Can deflect the power of the Black Blade. On the night of the dire plot, Ranni rewarded Praetor Rykard with these traces. Should the coming trespass one day transpire, they would serve as a last-resort foil, allowing Rykard to challenge Maliketh the Black Blade, the black beast of Destined Death."
