Elden Ring Blasphemous Blade build
This Elden Ring build uses the Blasphemous Blade to deal massive damage while healing your character. The key to this build is the Blasphemous Blade's skill, Taker's Flame. This creates a burst of fire in front of your character, dealing a large chunk of damage to nearby enemies. More importantly, you also regain health each time you hit an enemy with Taker's Flame. Originally, you only regained health with each kill, but the Blasphemous Blade was buffed to make it heal with every hit in a recent patch.
Where to find the Blasphemous Blade in Elden Ring
You will get the Blasphemous Blade from the Remembrance of the Blasphemous, which you get when you defeat Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. Take this Remembrance to Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold to unlock this weapon.

It then scales with the same stats, so you should focus on these as you level up in Elden Ring.
Important gear for the Blasphemous Blade build in Elden Ring
To get the most out of this Blasphemous Blade build, there are a few powerful talismans that you should equip. These are the Shard of Alexander, Fire Scorpion Charm, and Carian Filigreed Crest. We'll explain why you need these and where to find them below:
- The Shard of Alexander: a talisman that increases the damage of weapon skills. This is an obvious one, as it will make Taker's Flame kill enemies much quicker. You'll get this by completing Alexander, Warrior Jar's questline. This will come to a conclusion in a duel at Crumbling Farum Azula, after which you can retrieve the Shard of Alexander.
- Fire Scorpion Charm: boosts the damage of your fire attacks, which makes Taker's Flame even stronger. Fortunately, you can get this talisman much earlier, as you'll find it in Fort Laiedd near Mt Gelmir. Since Rykard is also found in Mt Gelmir, you should be able to find the Blasphemous Blade and Fire Scorpion Charm at a similar time.
- Carian Filigreed Crest: a talisman that reduces your weapon skill's FP cost. This will allow you to cast Taker's Flame more before needing to use an FP flask, so it's invaluable when facing groups of enemies. You can buy this from Master Iji after talking to Blaidd in the Mistwood and helping him defeat Bloodhound Knight Darriwil.
You can also push this further by having a Sacred Seal equipped that you can quickly switch to, allowing you to cast Flame, Grant Me Strength. This further boosts the damage of your fire attacks, including Taker's Flame.
There aren’t any specific armor pieces required for this Elden Ring build, so take a look at our list of the best armor sets in Elden Ring to find something that you personally prefer.
