At what point does Chaos gem deal more dmg than Fire gem?
Like, what amount of INT/Faith do you need for it to surpass the raw base dmg of Fire gem infusion?
Right now, Ive got a Fire Longsword +7 and I'm sitting at 26/26 INT/Faith.... Not sure if its time to put the Chaos gem in right now or if it will decrease my dmg because my INT/Faith are not high enough to surpass the flat dmg of the Fire gem. Anybody knows?
Dont want to waste since you can only get 3 Chaos gems in one playthrough unless you get a lucky drop.

I've surrendered to the conclusion that ds3 gives you one Chaos Gem per Smoldering Cleric in Smouldering Lake and no more. Evidence:

- (425 item discovery)

- Got only one from farming Smoldering Cleric near Old King's Ante Chamber for 2 hours.

- Got zero farming smoldering ghru's (non clerics) for two hours (did get two fire gems)

- Left to go find other Smoldering Clerics in the map, killed 2 other ones in the room with the Smoldering Rotten Flesh, got 2 Choas Gems off them on first try.

- Killed other solo Cleric down the hall from Demon Ruins bonfire few times no drop. checked my inventory and realized I have a total of 6 Chaos Gems. 1 found in the lake, one from crystal lizard, and 1 from each of the 4 clerics that exist on the map.

- Havent seen anybody in the comments claim more than 4 choas gems as drops from Smouldering Lake

Got 3 in about 25 minutes from smoldering ghru

I'm going to miss the humanity scaling...

Submit

This infusion is required for my bass cannon.

Submit

I bet most of you fools pronunce it wrong. “Chaos”

Submit

Why the scarcity... Just why

Submit

buuuu

Submit

Can also stagger black knights. Takes just 4-5 hits from a chaos dagger.

Submit

neat as it is, I'm going pure pyro so i like using the executioners G sword for extra FP back

Submit

Chaos or raw on a astora straight sword im a pyromancer with 23faith 23 int

Submit

For best expierience use on zweihander

Submit

in general what's better? Dark or Chaos? Ik more enemies are weaker to dark but is the stagger/burning with fire damage valuable?

Submit

I just got a Chaos gem from the Demon in the Antechamber after farming that area for half an hour. 11 luck and 9+ Hollow Dark Sword. Huh, didn't expect that.

Submit

Should I do this on a curved sword or just use the demon’s scar for a weapon on my pyro boi? ( 50 int, 50faith)

Submit

Can you sell this to the Shrine Handmaid?

Submit

Aldrich's bane

Submit

does anyone know why chaos infusion results in the highest crit damage (w/ dagger)?

Submit

Perfect gem and infusion for Pyromancy builds I would say

Submit

How can I farm for this gem?

Submit

Does this infusion force staggering on some enemies like the Fire infusion does?

Submit

I find the drop rate for chaos gem better than dark gem.

Submit

Never forget, dad 4 win

Submit

yes you can use warcry on any elemmental infused weapon, but since it only buffs the physical damage is not as good as on a physical build

Submit

Chaos Chaos!!!

Submit

If you infuse the lothric knight greatsword, the lightning also scales as well as the fire.

Submit

get a +10 chaos dagger, small shield and the hornet ring then parry and riposte your way to victory

Submit

AND OF COURSE
DONT FUCKIGN FORGET
YOUR CHAOS TWOHANDER AND GRASS CREST SHIELD

Submit

If I have 50 int, 30 faith, am I better off using the crystal gem on a long sword or a chaos/dark gem?

Submit

Convenient. My Build Uses Brigand Axe, So I can use The Chaos Infusion And Buff my Weapon With Warcry!

Submit

This gem weakens Strength and Dex and adds Faith and Int scaling to the fire damage. You can still get normal damage scaling although it is generally weaker. This gem works great for pyromancers as it deals fire damage with scaling so its better than the fire gem but its still not the best for pvp, try a dark gem as its gives the same outcome but with Dark damage. Hope this helped some people.

Submit

Do i need to level up voth int and faith to get the most out of the choas dagger backstabs?

Submit

Complete noob here. My question: Does chaos infusion simply add an INT/FTH scaling fire damage to the weapon (while the weapon retains its original stat scaling and physical damage), or does it overwrite the original scaling to add the damage?

Submit

Requires giant's (giant's, giant's) coal.

BECOME UNSTOPPABLE

Submit

Can be buffed with this?

Submit

Chaos dagger op

Submit

I've literally tried killing the fire demons that allegedly 'drop' the Chaos Gem (like the one right outside of Old King's Antechamber) at least 100+ times now (not even joking) while wearing the gold serpent ring +3 AND symbol of avarice... not ONCE have I gotten the Chaos Gem. Anyone have any idea wtf is up with this bullsh*t??? I'm like desperate for this gem and I absolutely CANNOT get more than 3 without starting a new game -_-

Submit

Apologies. It's near the OLD KING'S ANTECHAMBER bonfire.

Submit

The Crystal Lizard with this is near the DEMON KING'S ANTECHAMBER bonfire!

Submit

for pvp dark gem is way better since people have less defense against it. Fire and lightning defense is so common

Submit

Also new DLC weapon Follower Sabre(which is very OP) has B/B scaling

Submit

For a Pyromancer, Chaos and Dark infusions are very handy, and best, obviously if you just buff your weapon with Carthus Flame you will deal more damage, but using Chaos or Dark infusions come very handy, you don't need to use a slot for Carthus Flame Arc, you don't have to rebuff your weapon everytime, you don't spend time buffing your weapon(and specially in PvP and boss fights you may not have time to do buff), you don't need FP to buff your weapon.

Also many weapons have really good scaling with Chaos or Dark infusions(both infusions always have same scaling):
A/A scaling for Carthus Curved Greatsword, Astora Greatsword, Murakumo, Great Corvian Scythe, etc.
B/B scaling for Carthus Curved Sword, Zweihander, Dark Sword, Claymore, Gotthard Twinswords, Greatsword, Cathedral Knight Greatsword, Lothric Knight Greatsword, Exile Greatsword, Onikiri and Ubadachi, etc.

These are just some examples there is a lot more good weapon with A/A or B/B scaling, and a few "meta" weapons with C/C scaling. As a note, if you know any weapon that scales S with Lightning or Crystal, this means it will have A/A for Chaos or Dark, if it has A instead of S then it will be B/B, and etc.

Submit

Does this out-scale fire gems?

Submit

this infusion is only good for build who both have hight int/faith but all those builds are crapp,having like only 60 faith and buffing your weapon is miles better

Submit

For a pyromancer build, is it better than the carthus flame weapon? Because of the scaling loss in str/dex maybe the spell is more usefull

Submit

Tested on Smouldering Ghru just outside Old King Antechamer. Wearing Symbol of Avarice, +1 Gold Serpent Ring and Crystal Rapier with both Rusted coins used. Got 2 out a total of 53 attempts.

Submit

As far as i know every gem can drop from some normal enemies. Does anybody know from which this drops?

Submit

if this is one of the better infusions. Like Dark it fits a magic/melee character, since it scales with all stats. Not being able to infuse your weapon is a bummer, but the damage seems to be pretty good.40/40 Int/Fth seems like a good idea, a long with balanced Str/Dex (depending on the weapon).

Submit

Will be great for a 30/30 int/faith build and pair that with pyromancies and some miracles and you will have a nice combo :D

Submit

It and the zweihander are back I'm so ready

Submit

does anyone know which weapons have a/a scaling with faith/int with this infusion other than the astora greatsword?

Submit

THE LEGEND NEVER DIES!

Submit

You can find one at the start of smouldering lake, on the far right side of the room with the crabs.

Submit

would anyone say that this gem is the new mundane infusion?mundane was the best scaling infusion me thinks because it had the best scaling for your lowest attribute.so if you were a deprived class that just takes everything statwise it was idealthis makes it so you can have a str/dex weapon scale with int/faith, yes?dark gem also does same thing... every other infuse either adds 1 more attribute for scale + something like FP or HP recovery, or just makes one or two attributes scale better... (if you are more specialized)

Submit

Nice, gem for melee 30 int/30 faith flame weapon build. I'll try it out.

Submit

Difference between fire and chaos? Both scalIng with it and faith? And dark??

Submit

That's pretty neat! purfect for pyro's to get a better scaling weapon.
