Elden Ring’s 5 Rarest Weapons: Noble Slender Sword, Magma Blades, Vulgar Militia Saw, Halo Scythe

Here are 5 of the rarest and most powerful weapons in Elden Ring. However, to complete your weapon collection, here are the rarest weapons you can get in Elden Ring.

5. Noble’s Slender Sword

The Noble Slender Sword is a highly sought-after weapon that can be dropped by any wandering Noble wielding the sword. Although many of these enemies are in Limgrave, the drop rate is extremely low. On average, you’d have to do a farming run 200 times to get this weapon to drop once.

The most efficient way to farm for this weapon is to head to the Waypoint Ruin Seller, where Sorcerer Sellen is located. Upon exiting the ruins, you’ll encounter a convoy of Giants pulling a carriage, accompanied by several wandering Nobles, some of whom hold the Noble Slender Sword.

This straight sword scales with strength (E) and Dexterity (C). It is one of the powerful swords with a longsword moveset.

4. Magma Blades

The Magma Blades is one the weapons that can only be dropped by two specific enemies: the Man-Serpent residing deep in the Volcano Manor. To farm for this weapon, take down the Noble Skin boss in the area to gain access to the Temple of Eiglay Site of Grace. Then, use the elevator outside the Site of Grace to reach the area where the Man Serpents are located.

The Magma Blades is another rare weapon. Its ash of war unleashes a pure magma that burns enemies and stuns them. This curved sword scales primarily with Strength (D) and Faith (D) and has reduced scaling with Dexterity (D).

3. Vulgar Militia Saw

The Vulgar Militia Saw is a relatively rare halberd, with a 2-4% chance of dropping from the Militia enemies outside the Bestial Sanctum. This saw is overpowered, with a high bleed build-up and a long range. It is a valuable addition to any player’s collection.

The Vulgar Militia Saw belongs to the Halberd family in Elden Ring and scales with Strength and Dexterity. If you’re looking for a Blood Loss buildup, this is an ideal choice. It can be buffed and infused with Ashes of War, which is a plus.

2. Halo Scythe

The Clean Rot Knights drop the Halo Scythe around the Commander O’Neil Site of Grace in the heart of Aeonia. The area has multiple Clean Rot Knights, but the drop rate is still extremely low. Be prepared for a lengthy farming process, as these enemies can drop other items instead of the Halo Scythe.

The Halo Scythe belongs to the family of reapers that scales with Strength and Dexterity. The halo deals with holy damage and causes blood loss, but it cannot be buffed or infused with Ashes of War.

1. Monk’s Flameblade

The Monk’s Flame Blade is the rarest of the weapons on this list, dropped by a single fire monk in Elden Ring. This enemy can be found in the Giant Conquering Hero Grave, in a corridor past the golden light area where the flame turret is located. The farming process can be tedious, as you’ll need to defeat the monk repeatedly, but the reward is well worth the effort.

What are the best strategies to farm the Magma Blade

To effectively farm the Magma Blade in Elden Ring, follow these strategies:

Preparation

1. Level Up Arcane: Respec your character to maximize your Arcane stat to 99. This increases your item discovery rate, enhancing your chances of obtaining the Magma Blade.
2. Equip Discovery-Boosting Items: Use items that raise your item discovery rate. The Silver Scarab talisman is essential. You can also use a Silver Pickled Fowl Foot for a temporary boost, but note that this buff disappears upon fast traveling.

Farming Route

1. Starting Point: Begin at the Temple of Eiglay site of grace, which you unlock after defeating the Godskin Noble in Volcano Manor.
2. Use the Elevators: There are two elevators to access:
   • Take the right elevator first.
   • After that, unlock and use the left elevator to access the farming area.
3. Enemy Locations: In the farming area, focus on the enemies that can drop the Magma Blade. You will need to defeat them repeatedly.
4. Fast Travel for Efficiency: After defeating the enemies, if they do not drop the blade (indicated by a white flash), fast travel back to the Temple of Eiglay and repeat the process.

Tips

• Weapon Choice: Use a weapon that can stagger the enemies effectively. Many players recommend Eleonora’s Poleblade for its area of effect (AoE) attack, which can help defeat enemies quickly.
• Be Persistent: The drop rate for the Magma Blade is around 1%, so it may take multiple runs to obtain it. Players have reported varying times, with some acquiring it in as little as 30 minutes and others taking several hours.

What are the best weapons to use while farming the Magma Blade

To effectively farm the Magma Blade in Elden Ring, consider using the following weapons that complement the farming strategy:

1. Eleonora's Poleblade

This weapon is highly recommended for its area-of-effect (AoE) attacks. Its unique moveset allows you to quickly dispatch multiple enemies, making it efficient for farming.

2. Magma Blade

Using the Magma Blade itself can be beneficial if you already have it. Its weapon art, Magma Shower, can deal significant damage and control crowds of enemies, making it easier to farm additional blades.

3. Greatsword or Colossal Weapons

Weapons like the Greatsword or Giant-Crusher can deal massive damage to enemies, allowing for quick kills. Their heavy attacks can stagger foes, making them easier targets during farming runs.

4. Curved Swords

Using another curved sword can help maintain a similar playstyle to the Magma Blade, allowing you to practice and optimize your skills. Weapons like the Scimitar or Sellsword Twinblades can be effective.

5. Fire-Infused Weapons

If you prefer a fire-themed build, consider using weapons infused with fire damage. These can synergize well with the Magma Blade's fire effects and help you take down enemies quickly.

Additional Tips

• Buffs and Talismans: Equip talismans like the Shard of Alexander and Fire Scorpion Charm to boost your fire damage, enhancing your farming efficiency.

• Stat Allocation: Focus on Strength and Faith to maximize the effectiveness of your weapons and spells.

By utilizing these weapons and strategies, you can streamline the process of farming the Magma Blade, making your runs more efficient and effective.
