The Magma Wyrm's Scalesword is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find in Liurnia of the Lakes.

The Magma Wyrm's Scalesword is the curved greatsword of the Magma Wyrms, shaped like a dragon's jaw and covered in hard scales, from land-bound dragons said to have once been human heroes cursed for partaking in dragon communion. It drops from Magma Wyrm Makar in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. It deals physical and fire damage, and its two-handed heavy attack, shared with the Omen Cleaver, is faster than its size suggests, though two-handed reach is short, so one-handing gives more range. Its unique skill, Magma Guillotine, is nearly impossible to interrupt, starts with a crouch that ducks horizontal swings, and leaps into a slam that leaves magma on the ground. It suits a Strength and Faith build hunting for big burst damage.

Notes

"Curved greatsword wielded by Magma Wyrms. The shape resembles a dragon's jaw and is covered in hard scales. It's said these land-bound dragons were once human heroes who partook in dragon communion, a grave transgression for which they were cursed to crawl the earth upon their bellies, shadows of their former selves."
