In-game description

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 human 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.

Skill

Magma Wyrm's Scalesword icon
Magma GuillotineFP 20 / 10 · Unique skill

Grab the scalesword with both hands, as a wyrm would hold it in its mouth, and leap forwards, smashing it into the ground and triggering a blast of magma. Follow up with an additional input to perform a chopping attack.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationMagma Wyrm Makar at Ruin-Strewn Precipice

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Ruin-Strewn Precipice Overlook

Before you go

  • Reach the top of Ruin-Strewn Precipice.
  1. Ride north along Liurnia's lake into the narrow ravine at its northern end. Follow the water between the cliffs to Ravine-Veiled Village and activate its grace.
  2. Climb the village ladder into the mine, then the next ladder inside. Watch for poison traps and Vulgar Militia before taking the mine lift upward.
  3. Continue through the miners' tunnel and up the stairs. Follow the western exit back outside and activate Ruin-Strewn Precipice grace beside the next lift.
  4. Ride that lift up. Follow the wooden cliff walkway past the Militiaman, checking behind you for a bat ambush, then continue through the other bats to the next upward ladder.
  5. On the next level, clear the bats around the singing winged enemy before climbing. Follow the upper cliff past the small octopuses and bats to another ladder.
  6. At the top of the main ladder route, continue toward the last lift instead of taking the northwestern roof detour with the giant octopus. Ride up and activate Ruin-Strewn Precipice Overlook.
  7. Enter the nearby fog gate and defeat Magma Wyrm Makar. He awards Magma Wyrm's Scalesword and a Dragon Heart, and the route behind him reaches Altus Plateau.
  8. The Magma Wyrm in Gael Tunnel awards Moonveil instead. The field wyrm near Fort Laiedd is another separate encounter.

Notes

  • Requires 24 Strength, 15 Dexterity and 18 Faith, and weighs 15. Strength provides the strongest Physical scaling, Dexterity is weaker, and Faith improves Fire damage.
  • Its heavy swings use the heavy blade to smash down rather than following every ordinary curved-greatsword cut. The weapon has no innate bleed, despite its serrated appearance.
  • Magma Guillotine costs 20 FP for the leaping slam. Another skill input adds the chop and dragging finish for 10 FP, making the full sequence 30 FP.
  • The blade and its immediate explosion share the initial hit. Standing close does not make those two parts deal two separate full slams to the same enemy.
  • The slam and follow-up use the weapon's Physical and Fire attack power. The lingering magma is a separate Fire effect improved through Faith and reinforcement, so Strength and Faith do not affect every part equally.
  • The pools add damage only while the enemy remains in them. They are useful against a large or distracted target, but a moving enemy can leave before taking much lingering damage.
  • Shard of Alexander improves the skill. Talisman of the Dread boosts its eligible magma attacks by 15% against enemies and 10% against other players. Fire bonuses improve the Fire portions.
  • Godfrey Icon does not improve Magma Guillotine, and Claw Talisman does not improve it merely because its animation jumps. It is a weapon skill rather than an ordinary jump attack.
  • The low preparation can avoid some high attacks, but the leap and follow-up commit you for a long time. Stop after the first stage if the target is already ready to retaliate.
  • Uses Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Its skill and affinity are fixed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
  • Makar is the boss at the top of Ruin-Strewn Precipice. The sword is awarded directly, not looted from the nearby octopus roof or bought with the Dragon Heart.
