You don’t have to be a caster to use magic, as some of the best melee weapons in Elden Ring are also magic-based, which require you to invest in Intelligence or Faith points. The Sword of Night and Flame is the best of both, as its name suggests, able to inflict both magic and fire damage. It does, however, require an equally significant amount of Intelligence and Faith, although you should at least have enough Strength and Dexterity from your starting class. Looking for some direction? Our what to do first in Elden Ring, Elden Ring walkthrough, Site of Grace locations and main bosses in order pages can help. The room is locked from the other side, so this is how you reach it. From the Manor Lower Level Site of Grace, walk out of the door and you’ll be on ramparts above the manor. Follow the ramparts then take your first left and follow this path along until you reach what seems like a dead end. If you look to your left, however, you’ll see the rooftops of buildings below. Drop down to one and then to the next, which will have an opening with a ladder. Take the ladder down and you’ll be in a room with a chest. Open it to retrieve the Sword of Night and Flame before unlocking the door to leave. Once you have settled on a starting class and starting Keepsake item, you should first work out how to level up, how to respec and use Ashes of War. Need some direction from there? Our Elden Ring walkthrough and Elden Ring boss order can help with where to go next, but we also recommend hunting down Golden Seeds, Sacred Tears, Crystal Tears, Talismans and some of our best weapon and best armor choices. If you are approaching the end game, we can help with the Volcano Manor quest and Rykard, Haligtree Secret Medallion locations, solving the Ordina, Liturgical Town puzzle, the Millicent quest, Commander Niall, Morgott, Godskin Duo, Maliketh and Malenia. The sword requires 12 Strength, 12 Dexterity, 24 Intelligent and 24 Faith to wield, so we hope you’ve not been neglecting on levelling up the latter two stats. While its physical damage should serve you well, its real power lies in its unique skills, which gives you the option to either swing a wide arc projectile of flames or cast Night Comet sorcery, basically a devastating laser-focused blast on anything in front of you. Good luck finding the Sword of Night and Flame!
