The Nox Flowing Sword is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. It becomes available partway through a run, in Caelid.

The Nox Flowing Sword is a grim weapon of the swordsmen of the Eternal City, a shotel with a blade as fine as a needle, forged from the liquid metal of a Silver Tear. It drops from the Nox Swordstress and Nox Priest in Sellia, Town of Sorcery in Caelid. Its fast attacks stagger low-poise enemies and slip through guards, and its heavy attacks hit harder than most curved swords. Its unique skill, Flowing Form, turns the blade whip-like for a wide sweep that can even reach enemies behind walls, though its wind-up is long. It suits a Dexterity build that wants a curved sword with crowd control.

Skill

Flowing Form costs 9 FP. The wielder turns the weapon into a liquid, whip-like form and lashes out in a single wide sweeping slice before it returns to shape. The sweep covers a broad area, which makes it effective against groups, and it cannot be parried. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Temporarily transforms armament into its liquid form. Swing the armament like a whip to perform a sweeping slice over a wide area."

Suggested Build

Chain fast hits to build multi-hit bonuses and use Flowing Form to sweep groups from a distance.

Stats	Dexterity 80 (15 to wield it), Vigor 50, Mind 20, Endurance 24, Strength 18
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Winged Sword Insignia, Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom

Notes

"A grim weapon wielded by swordsmen of the Eternal City, this shotel has a blade as fine as a needle. Forged from the liquid metal of a Silver Tear, it is thoroughly tempered until hardened."
