Where to Find Sword of Night and Flame in Elden Ring

You can get The Sword of Night and Flame in Caria Manor. You need to defeat the first shard bearer, Godrick the Grafted, to access the areas beyond Stormveil Castle.

You can bypass even Godrick by taking the secret path to the right of Stormveil Castle, but you will be too weak to even get to the sword inside the manor if you decide to do so.

Once you enter the Caria manor, simply turn left and run along the left wall. Beware of the Hands here, that are burrowed in the ground, with just the tip of the fingers protruding out. If you step in these hands, they will grab you and they deal lots of damage.

Get to the entrance leading to the Manor Lower levels, and unlock the manor Lower Levels Grace. From Gere, head out on the bridge. Take the first left, then turn right at the next point. At the left of the bridge, you will see a roof you can jump to. Get to this roof.

Here, you will see a crack in the wall to the north side, left of the roof. Jump down to the platform and take the ladder down. In the room you reach, there is a single chest containing the weapon.

Sword of Night and Flame is a straight sword and deals both Magic and Fire damage. The weapon skill is Night and Flame Stance, which allows you to either shoot a magic beam with a light attack or a fire arc with a heavy attack.

Players require 12 Strength and Dexterity, and 24 Faith and Intelligence to wield the weapon. The sword has E scaling in both Strength and Dexterity and D scaling in both Faith and Intelligence.

Builds for Sword of Night and Flame

Believe it or not but the Sword of Flame and Night actually has its own build. In other words, it is known as the Dual Caster Build. What this build focuses on is matching the Stat Scaling of the sword which can be found in the table below. The Dual Caster Build was made for the only purpose of utilizing both the Burning and Magic Damages of the sword.

This build focuses on Intelligence, Faith, and Mind. The second priorities for this build are Vigor and Dexterity. The Strength and Dexterity stats are too low for us to be bothered by them so they are simply put aside. However, the special skill of this sword called the Flame-and-Night Stance requires a ton of FP to be cast so investing points in Mind would be a wise choice.

For the Sorceries, this build goes very well with the Ancient Rancor Death and Explosive Ghostflame as Death Spells while it also utilizes Magma Shot and Rykard’s Rancer as Magma Spells.
