The Magma Blade is an extremely-powerful curved sword in Elden Ring that primarily scales with dexterity, faith, and strength. As the name of the weapon suggests, this sword deals fire damage, and its Magma Shower weapon skill, which leaves damaging magma on the ground, can be very potent. Finding Elden Ring's Magma Blade is often a tedious endeavor, though, and this guide is here to walk players through the process.
Elden Ring: How to Get Magma Blade
Volcano Manor, Mt. Gelmir
The first step toward obtaining the 
Magma Blade is to gain access to the dungeon at Volcano Manor. While there are several ways to approach this task, the simplest option is for players to work on Rya's questline in Elden Ring until they are teleported to the manor. Players should then speak with Tanith to initiate the Volcano Manor questline and earn the Drawing-Room Key. This key should be used to open the first door on the right in the hallway to the west of Tanith, and hitting the wall just past the corpse in the room will reveal a path to the dungeon.
Elden Ring: How to Get All Endings
Elden Ring has six different endings for players to obtain, and this guide details the requirements for unlocking each one of them.
After entering the Volcano Manor dungeon, players should progress through it until they reach the Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace. There is a lift right next to this Site of Grace in Elden Ring, which fans should ride up to access the Temple of Eiglay's balcony. Players should jump from this balcony onto the stone path that is below and follow that path until they reach an area with a large pool of lava. There is a building on the west side of this pool, and fans should jump into the open window to access its interior.
Elden Ring players should now continue forward to encounter and kill a Man-Serpent that is wielding a Magma Blade. There is another of this specific enemy type in the building that is a bit further down the path, and both of these foes have a very small chance of dropping the sword. The process for obtaining the weapon is thus to dispatch these specific two Man-Serpents repeatedly, and players should expect to spend a considerable amount of time farming these enemies for the Magma Blade.
To note, it is recommended that players increase their discovery stat as much as possible before attempting to farm for the Magma Blade. Indeed, fans are more likely to receive rare items if they have high discovery, and there are several options for boosting the stat. Those options include increasing the arcane stat in Elden Ring, equipping the Silver Scarab talisman, and using the Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot item, and fans should try to combine all of them to maximize their chances at a Magma Blade.
