The Sword of Night and Flame is a Straight Sword in Elden Ring. It is found in the Academy of Raya Lucaria, around the middle of a run.
The Sword of Night and Flame is a storied treasure of Caria Manor and one of the legendary armaments, tied to the astrologers who lived on mountaintops beside the Fire Giants. It lies in a chest in a locked tower room at Caria Manor in Liurnia of the Lakes, reached by dropping from the rampart walkways onto a roof and down a ladder. Its one-handed heavy attacks are thrusts and its two-handed ones are slashes, and with low Strength scaling it is usually one-handed. Night-and-Flame Stance holds the sword level, then a normal attack fires a beam of night magic and a strong attack sweeps forward with a burst of flames, two of the strongest skill attacks in the game. It suits an Intelligence and Faith hybrid, and even at its minimum requirements the skill hits hard.
Stats
The Sword of Night and Flame is the only straight sword that scales with both Intelligence and Faith, B in each at max upgrade, with 213 physical plus 137 magic and 137 fire. Night-and-Flame Stance unleashes either a magic beam or a fire sweep. Its stat demand is the steepest of any straight sword, but a hybrid caster that meets it gets a weapon whose skill hits like a spell.
How to Get Sword of Night and Flame Guide
- In a locked room at Caria Manor, Liurnia of the Lakes, which the Tarnished can jump into from above on the walkways where the Raya Lucaria Soldier puppets appear.

Skill
Night-and-Flame Stance costs 26 / 32 FP. The wielder holds the sword level in a casting stance. A normal attack thrusts out a torrent of stars that works like a smaller Comet Azur, dealing heavy magic damage to a single target, while a strong attack sweeps forward with a wide wall of fire that handles crowds. The magic attack scales with Intelligence and the fire with Faith, and Rellana's Cameo boosts both follow-ups. It is exclusive to this weapon.
