I point down on ppl using this weapon

Submit

do gundir, vordt. Go to kathedral, beat painted world and friede, get access to ringed city, kill demon prince and boom you got it early enough to enjoy the rest of the game, tho you might be emotionally scared for life, but hey the weapon is worth it

Submit

A fitting weapon for my zuko cosplay

Submit

I would KILL for a dark version of this

Submit

note that this weighs only 0.5 Miyazakis

Submit

PKCS without the niche R2, outdamages 40 dex PKCS on 30 int/fai, has the same range as PKCS, can god damn cast pyromancies

why the hell are people complaining about PKCS instead of this? stat investments maybe?

Submit

Just a periodic reminder that it’s me who discovered the interactions between the demon scar and warmth and contacted the official wiki page owner to let him know and he took all the credit. Remember to record and post first before telling anything you discover.

Submit

Meh, never used it in PVP, so it may be good for that, but for PVE I found this very overrated. At 30/30 int/fth, my chaos man serpent Hatchet and chaos carthus curved swords both do more fire damage than this thing (plus they do some physical damage, too). Both of those weapons have B scaling in Int/Fth (better than the C scaling on this flame) so they should continue to outclass this thing in damage at 40/40 int/fth. Those weapons also have better reach than this thing and about the same stamina use and speed. And the spell b7ff isn't as good as the standard Pyro flame. Don't really get the hype.

Submit

This weapon is so amazing but you literally get it at the end of the game, you barely have a chance to use it. So what's the point?

Submit

how do i get this?

Submit

Whoever made that description on Fextralife, I did not use a +10 pyro glove to test that, I used a +3 one for similar results, read it again

Submit

coolest weapon in the whole game

Submit

This is probably a stupid question but can this be paried?

Submit

Don't sleep on the WA. It can combo with the R1 and do more damage than blaclflame. Also many people don't notice the lava it leaves behind and you end up with 200 extra free damage from it.

Submit

The critical modifier impacts sacred flames damage DRASTICALLY: Tested with 40/40 in both FTH/INT respectively and both the Witch's Ring and GSR.
demon scar +5 so we get a 190 spell damage mod and a +3 pyro glove with a 192 spell damage mod (I wanted to keep the spell mod pretty much the same to see even minimal changes in terms of damage). The damage difference is ridiculous:

I hit 345 damage on the drakeblood knights in NG+1 with the pyro glove
and 745 damage on the same enemy with the demon scar. The crit modifier seems to DRASTICALLY increase the damage output

I don't know how the crit modifier effects the motion value if someone in the community is more experienced with the effect of weapon class, motion value, crit modifier etc. please let us know the calculation for crit values and especially how it uniquely effects spell buff in this case.

This page is bullshit. First it says "Same moveset in off-hand" then it says that "the weapon has a different moveset depending on the hand it is held in: it has the scimitar one-handed moveset in the right hand and the Falchion one handed moveset in the left hand." Wtf Fextralife? Can't you keep a track on info provided in pages in your Wiki? lmao.

Submit

how soon can i get this? i'm a fellow player so idk how early i can get this, i saw several twinks with the ringed knight chest armor at sl 20 tho

Submit

No trivia on this weapon is disappointing. Nobody played King's Field?

Submit

Failing the dex requirement (but not the casting stats) causes a visual error. The weapon will show the intended spellbuff (min stats + 0, 119) but will not do the correct damage. (45 versus 81 fireball damage compared to +0 pyromancy flame with the same stats, 123 spellbuff)

Submit

Actually left hand do have a falchion move set while right hand uses scimitars’

Submit

Wait, this has bleed too?! So not even turtling helps!

Says it has 110 bleed and 99 fire.

Submit

The fact that this thing can break is fcking comical.

Submit

I know it's super powerful and all, but also it looks badass

Submit

how does this have weight

Submit

Anyone know the minimum required dex to make R1 black flame true, or do you need to cap it at 50?

Submit

Actually busted. Not whining or a meme, this thing is actually god tier.

Submit

This is the only weapon I've stopped using because it's too good. It has crazy fast swing speed which combos into a Black Flame. Speed, high damage output, low stamina usage, absurdly low weight, pretty good WA, and quick, easy access to spells. This weapon has no down sides in PVP. And that's why I stopped using it. It took me a few hours to master it and then I started getting bored. It's too unfair. The wins aren't even satisfying.

Submit

I know the game is dead, but with decent dex does this get r1 flame fan? Asking cuz I want to do a pyro setup

Submit

LOL so much confidence for a shiity fire weapon against what? pkcs-the best weapon in the entire series? I can just soak myself with "flash sweat" and then enjoy pooping on those who use this shhity fire cs.

Submit

Why use this before pkcs and tumblebuff >insert buff<?

Because this is pure fire damage, can be paired with dark pyromancies or sacred flame with critical buff and it's almost unparriable thanks to it's pyro glove hitbox.

Pick this demonic weapon up and start throwing pkcs users to the trash heap where they belong.

Submit

pkcs but someone dipped it in flamin hot cheeto dust

Submit

Pkcs has no sht on this pure fire.

Submit

pkcs isnt infusable numb nuts

Submit

Why would you use this instead of infused pkcs + pyromancy flame

Then you get a good weapon art and a good weapon and stronger curved sword and stronger pyromancies

Submit

Am I the only one who things this isn't that great? Sure it's amazing for PvP or something but in pVe I think curved swords are kind of, to put it lightly, not good: worse range than most other weapons.

Submit

This is my BOOMSTICK !!!

Submit

Probably the most fun I had in PVP with this weapon backflipping and spamming vestiges after WA. I guess people don't realize how strong WA is.

Submit

Nobody is talking about the backflip. Do you guys even use this weapon?

Submit

The cooler hysel pick lol, I mean, it look cooler and deal pure fire damage, like hysel pick it also have a R1 to black flame true combo, less damage than the R1 souls Greatsword, but hey it's cooler

Submit

can you drop it to a summon

Submit

****ing S tier weight

Submit

I usually right hand the irithyll rapier and off hand the demon scar. Its a great combo with a lot of cancerous attacks for pvp. Plus if you're good you can abuse the hell out of the frostbite effect with this combo. Rapier also works best because of the high stagger for roll catching.

Submit

It sucks. Telegraphed. Small hit box. Causes frame rate to drop. Git gud.

Submit

Pure dookie---msgic sucks it's for unintelligent coward gankers

Submit

You gotta beat the demon prince for this weapon. How is this a twink weapon? Someone said it was a twink weapon and i thought to myself "you re a moron"

Submit

I think I would have liked it if instead of having R2 cast, that it just have a heavy attack. The effect of scaling purely off of Int/Fai is benefit enough.

Submit

Says here spellbuff does scale with dex, one of this page must be wrong...

Submit

The phantom range on this is terrible to go up against, my mage character was slaughtered by a vestige spamming R1 addict using this in like 3 hits in the arena.

Submit

Can be buffed using Carthus Flame Arc with the bow glitch. For those that don't know: equip a bow in your off hand (recurve bow is best, you don't have to have stats to use it), hit L2 to use the weapon art of the bow, roll out of the weapon art but DO NOT release the weapon art button or directional input. Have a spell you can cast selected, roll again, during the roll cast your spell and then immediately swap to CFA, and upon exiting the roll, you should buff the weapon. At pyro stats of 40/40, you should have a pure fire AR of 515.

Submit

Just use cheat engine lol

Submit

Overall i find the demon scar to be a great pyro-build weapon and it can carry you through most of the game. the downside is that there are some enemies and bosses who have huge fire resistances, so it is still wise to have a spare weapon you keep on par level-wise. a dark-infused dagger or the like works well.

Submit

This is such an unoriginal weapon. trash

Submit

A great weapon ruined for being a mage twink's blade

Submit

Can someone tell me if this was hit during the Curved Sword nerfing? sometimes it retains Amazing speed but then also becomes slower than the falchion sometimes, Im just wondering

Submit

Such a damn cool weapon, great for both utility and fashion on most Pyro setups

Submit

i accidentally sold Wolnir's soul, i will give black knight stuff for black serpent or just his soul. PC Moni-Fen level 80.

Submit

the ultimate weapon for any pyromancer

Submit

To the question of whether this increases Sacred Flame damage; a little yes. Tested on the Cathedral Knight at Lothric Castle, SL802 - Demon Scar spellbuff 220; damage 924 - Pyro Parting Flame spellbuff 226; damage 890 - Pyro Flame spellbuff 242; damage 806. Why Parting Flame did more damage than the regular Pyro Flame, I don't know, but, I'm going to assume the 110 critical on Demon Scar is responsible for the increased damage. If anyone finds different results or further logic on mine, please elaborate.

Submit

"does not scale with Dexterity". I think you mean Strength? Table clearly shows Dex requirement.

Submit

Is this weapon any good in pve? Obviously we all know its great in pvp with its combo into black flame, but for pve its stats seem pretty bad. At 40/40 int/faith it only does aroumd 340 damage. A chaos falchion does around 480 for me by comparison. Its spell buff is also pretty bad compared to the standard pyro flame. So is this only a pvp weapon? Or is there some saving grace im missing?

Submit

@the guy below: "JuST Do Ng+, ItS EaSy". I think the reason anyone would not want to restart is because of the time it takes to catch back up to where they were. Of course ng+ is easy, you're overlevelled by the time you start your first ng, I've never seen anyone complain about the difficulty. It's also not your place to be telling people what they can and can't post, if you don't like it then move on. I'd sort of get it if there were a lot of similar messages spammed, but it's not that bad.

Submit

why does everyone beg so much for everything? seriously just do ng+ its not that hard

Submit

would this weapon viable for leveling ?

Submit

Anyone willing to trade one with me? I used the soul to get the pyro for the trophy

Submit

I haven’t played as a pyro since ds1 and 2. This weapon is a lot of fun both pvp and pve. My only mistake was not trading for black serpent and getting wolnirs blade instead. I would trade basically any weapon item souls etc for black serpent

Submit

Would anyone be willing to drop this / witch's lock for my alt? Have most other weps on my main that I can trade for! (Playing on PC)

Submit

I find the weapon to be very fun though I will admit it's a little bit op so I only use it as a second last resort for bosses next to story tellers.

Submit

Looking to transfer this from my main to my second pyro character. Anyone wanna scratch my back if I scratch theirs?

Submit

I've been wondering what melee weapon I should use for my pyro build. I just beat the crystal sage and I'm using a raw longsword with 12 strength and 10 dexterity, and I plan to infuse it with chaos later. Anyone have any suggestions for a different melee weapon?

Submit

I've got several high level characters and am willing to trade pretty much any item to get this to my low level pyro I just started.

Submit

Anyone for a spare, ps4

Submit

Read notes and tips, go down to critical damage information. Some IDIOT wrote their testing down and called their weapon a "+10 Demon's Scar". REALLY?

Submit

Fromsoft just needed op curved sword there stupid *****s. Jk I both this and the Pontiff Knight curved sword. Go ahead and insult me I know I’m a filthy tryhard :D. GO AHEAD INJECT UR VEINS WITH SALT AND CALL ME***** OH YAY BC I USE A WEAPON YOU DONT LIKE I DESERVE DEATH

Submit

This sheer level of cancer...Ez mode af...

Submit

Oh yes thats what a pyro needed , a curved sword catalyst.

Submit

Hey, I’m looking for this sword and don’t have the dlc. I’m in Lothric castle and don’t have anything special to trade, but would be willing to give whatever I’m asked.

Steam: Fossick

I’m the one with the shitty history of names and the picture of an old guy in a skirt.

Submit

Don't know about ya'll, but i hate fighting this thing. If your opponent lands just one r1 (with the fastest weapon in the damn game) they can true combo it into black flame for ridiculous damage considering its two hits. So what do you do from there? Well you either roll out and theres a 80% chancr you'll get roll caught by chaos bad vestiges, or you roll in and get slaughtered by the almighty two handed curved sword roll catch r1 spam. It's just.... UGH. The only real way to beat it is to play super passively, which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so fucking boring.

Submit

This weapon... I’m ready to take on Midir

Submit

A little odd that it weighs 0.5 instead of 0, like the normal/parting flames. I mean, it's literally fire. I guess it's odd that you have material fire, in the first place, so it's not too unbelievable that since you can wave it around like it has mass, it wouldn't be weightless.

Submit

Easily my favorite weapon in the game. R1 into Blackflame works wonders, and if your opponent is greedy enough to attempt to attack you after the Blackflame you can combo into the weapon art. Not to mention, it has the nasty roll-catch capabilities of two-handed curved swords, in which you should always be two-handing with this weapon. Smack a Saint-tree Bellvine in your offhand to not waste a ring slot on Sages Ring either.

Submit

There's a grammatical error. Not from wiki... from From... "creating an short..." It should be 'a' short-lived lava pool. That's funny to me.

Submit

Added spellbuff numbers, scaling and AR information, fixed errors (spellbuff does not scale with dexterity), some rewording for clarity

Submit

Anyone ever used the demon scar to cast "warmth" ...it...screams...

Submit

The description for the item has been changed since this page was written. The "evanescent lava chamber" was changed to "short-lived lava pool" during a patch I'm guessing.

Submit

I'm at the Pyro-softcaps, and Demon's Scar+5 does the same fire damage as a Chaos Longsword+10, but none of the physical damage. Spell buff is not much lower than other Pyro-catalysts at least. But stilll, this is only ever useful if you absolutely have to a) use melee attacks b) cast pyromancies and c) use a shield or spells from other schools, all in the same fight and without switching what you have in hand. Applications outside of PvP are pretty slim I'd wager.

Submit

How are the other pyro catalysts spell buff compared to this?

Submit

Try spell parry....

Submit

The critical modifier has nothing to do with the sacred flame damage, thats boosted by the weapons inherent fire damage. took about 12 seconds of testing to figure that out.

Submit

What's the least amount of dex required for it to combo R1 into black flame?

Submit

This weapon is just a little bit of cancer. Just a little.

Submit

Sage Ring+1 and 15 Dex gets you the true combo of R1 into Black Flame

Submit

Did anyone noticed, when you have for example Demon Scar in right hand and two handing something like shield, Scar disappear? But using Lifehunt Scythe or Lightning Arrow it's attached on character side like normal sword?

Submit

Does Pontiff Right Eye Works with this?

Submit

Despite the lower Spell Buff, the Demon's Scar deals ~20% more Damage with Sacred Flame than the regular Pyroflame, and Black Fire Orb deals roughly the same Damage. Regular Fire Orb does seem to conform to Spell Buff however. Very peculiar weapon, this.

Submit

Music I hear whenever I use this weapon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2W2TeUUYps

Submit

Demon's scar weapon art does not have any hyper armor whatsoever. You can be denied mid air by literally everything.
And because it doesn't do poise damage either you can't just "lock" someone into it.

My fellow pyromancers, you're better off using the small dragonhead shield in your off-hand than two-handing it.

Submit

I'm thinking of pairing this with the Crystal Chime to make a super caster. Not totally convinced by dark spells through. Heard that chime sucks with them.

Submit

Are their any other weapons that have 2 attacks in their off hand mode? IMO makes this weapon great.
Not much better than hitting some thing in the face with a flaming log (carthus flame great club) and having either a quick attack or ranged pyro to follow.
