Maliketh’s Black Blade is a Colossal Sword in Elden Ring that is good for inflicting Holy damage. This is one of the best weapons you can acquire in the game and is perfect for high-strength or holy damage builds. However, acquiring it isn’t very straightforward.
In this guide, we’ll go over the location of the item that will eventually lead you to acquire Maliketh’s Black Blade, without wasting any more time let’s get into it.
Maliketh’s Black Blade Location
You need to defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade, to get his weapon in Elden Ring. Maliketh is one of the main bosses of the storyline, so he is not optional. You will eventually encounter him while exploring Crumbling Farum Azula, where Maliketh will be revealed to be the Beast Clergyman all along.
Fast travel or reach the Behind the Great Bridge Site of Grace in Crumbling Farum Azula. Then, go west and follow the path south until you find some stairs. The stairs will lead you to a ramp.
Here, you can either go past the Draconic Tree Sentinel or take time out to defeat it. The door at the end of the ramp will lead you to the Beast Clergyman.
He is the first phase of the Maliketh boss fight in Elden Ring. In his second phase, you will face off against Maliketh in his truth form.
To defeat Maliketh, the Black Blade, you must summon Spirit Ashes, avoid his sword attacks, and heal yourself using the Sacred Flask whenever your health gets low. You just have to balance between attacking and dodging his attacks, and eventually, you will be able to defeat that boss.
How to get Maliketh’s Black Blade?
Once you have defeated the Maliketh, the Black Blade, you will be transported back to Leyndell, Ashen Capital.
The Boss will drop the Remembrance of the Black Blade and 220,000 Runes once you have defeated him. Now you can use the Remembrance of the Black Blade for trading with Enia at the Roundtable Hold.
Maliketh’s Black Blade is infused with a special skill called Destined Death that creates a powerful attack with multiple blades at the cost of 40FP, making it a great melee weapon to add to your inventory.
