Magma Wyrm's Scalesword is a Curved Greatsword in Elden Ring. The Magma Wyrm's Scalesword scales primarily with Strength and Faith, with reduced scaling in Dexterity, and is a good Weapon for dealing additional Fire Damage during combat. This weapon's sharp-toothed edge can deal great damage to foes. Like its title suggests, it is a heavy-weight sword covered in hard scales and resembles the dragon's jaw.
Curved greatsword wielded by Magma Wyrms. The shape resembles a dragon's jaw and is covered in hard scales.
It's said these land-bound dragons were once humans heroes who partook in dragon communion, a grave transgression for which they were cursed to crawl the earth upon their bellies, shadows of their former selves.

- Magma Guillotine is almost impossible to interrupt and the first part of the skill makes the character crouch so you can avoid most horizontal swipes. The full combo has a really high motion value and can easily deal over 3000 damage. The first attack is not affected by Claw Talisman.
- Since the physical damage of this weapon has bigger base damage portion, it's best to level Strength up to 60 before you start investing in Faith. However, it is advisable to level faith up to 25 in order to use Golden Vow and Flame, Grant Me Strength.
- Its moveset has very small range when used with both hands, since its mostly used akin to a guillotine for jump attacks and heavy attacks. If you want more range, consider using it one-handed.
- The two-handed moveset, however, has a much faster R2 than would be expected of a weapon of its size - a useful tool in many situations
- You can also swing this weapon slightly faster when attacking while crouching.
