About this item
Consumes one coil and 9 FP to release three small pursuing Fire snakes from where it lands. Carry up to ten, with reserves stored separately.
Its Fire damage scales with Faith alone. Strength and Dexterity do not strengthen it in the same way as an ordinary Fire Pot or Explosive Stone.
The snakes can approach from the coil's landing point, giving a different angle from a projectile fired directly from your character. They still need a usable route around nearby scenery.

In-game description
A device of fire used by Messmer's soldiers.
Lingering embers, bundled into a coil.
Craftable item.
Uses FP to conjure tiny fire snakes from the spot that it is thrown. The writhing snakes pursue foes.
Fire was a symbol of the crusade, and even Messmer's rank-and-file soldiers would wield it.
Where to find
Crafting after obtaining Fire Knight's Cookbook [2]
Gravesite Plain
Starting Site of Grace: Castle Front
Before you go
- Crafting Kit
- Fire Knight's Cookbook [2]
- Ingredients per batch: 3 Ember of Messmer
- Cross Ellac Greatbridge from Three-Path Cross and activate Castle Front.
- Search the army tents northwest of the bridge, just west of the castle approach.
- Loot the corpse inside a tent for the cookbook. This is an outdoor pickup before Castle Ensis.
- Buy the Crafting Kit from Kale at the Church of Elleh if Item Crafting is still unavailable.
- Collect 3 Ember of Messmer. Outside combat, open Item Crafting and select Fire Coil. One batch makes 1.
Notes
- Consumes one coil and 9 FP to release three small pursuing Fire snakes from where it lands. Carry up to ten, with reserves stored separately.
- Its Fire damage scales with Faith alone. Strength and Dexterity do not strengthen it in the same way as an ordinary Fire Pot or Explosive Stone.
- The snakes can approach from the coil's landing point, giving a different angle from a projectile fired directly from your character. They still need a usable route around nearby scenery.
- Multiple snakes can hit the same target, but the delay gives a moving enemy time to leave. Throw before the enemy reaches you instead of relying on immediate interruption.
- Fire damage bonuses help. It is a consumable rather than a Dragon Cult incantation or weapon skill, so neither a seal's school bonus nor Shard of Alexander applies.
- Using FP does not mean the coil is reusable. Each throw spends both the item and FP, so replenish your crafted supply as well as your blue bar.
- Fire Knight's Cookbook [2] unlocks one coil per three Ember of Messmer. Its tent pickup is outside Castle Ensis and does not require defeating Rellana or Messmer.
- This is separate from the Fire Serpent incantation. Owning one does not unlock the other, and the coil needs no sacred seal.
