Smoldering Butterfly is a crafting material in Elden Ring.

Smoldering Butterfly is a small butterfly that burns without ever going out. It is common across the Lands Between, most of all around wildfires and burning slugs. Soldiers who carry torches or throw fire pots also drop it. It is the fire ingredient in Fire Pots, Fire Grease, Firebone Arrows and Fireproof Dried Liver.

Gathering


It hovers close to open flame and glows like a drifting ember. Swarms gather around fire patches and the slugs that leave them. It returns after a rest at a Site of Grace, so one swarm can be picked again and again.

"An eternally burning butterfly found near wildfires and elsewhere. Material used for crafting items. Serves as the kindling for a number of items."
