The Sword of Night is a Katana in Elden Ring.
When to Use It
Shadow of the Erdtree. It is in the expansion, which opens only once Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood are beaten.
Upgrades
- Upgrades with Somber Smithing Stones to +10, one stone per level.
- Keeps its own skill permanently.
Skill
Witching Hour Slash costs 21 FP.
- Hold the sword level and infuse it with the dark of Night before unleashing a series of incorporeal attacks. This attack cannot be blocked. Can be charged to increase its power.
- Unique to this weapon. It cannot be moved onto another weapon, and no Ash of War can replace it.
Build
It scales Dex C, so Dex is where the levels go.
- Requires Str 11, Dex 20.
- Takes no Ash of War and no affinity, so the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round.
- Causes blood loss buildup (45), without any infusion needed.
Notes
- Sword of an all-consuming, bottomless black that devours even the light that shines upon it. Wielded by Jolán, Swordhand of Night. The blade of the sword is only semicorporeal, and thus cannot be guarded against completely.
Where to Find
- Complete Jolán, Swordhand of Night's questline.
