Select Language:

The Ghostflame Torch in Elden Ring is a haunting weapon crafted from the bones of fallen hawks. This torch is cursed, bringing misfortune to anyone who dares to wield it. Those who carry it are condemned to roam the depths forever without purpose.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to acquire the Ghostflame Torch and discuss how you can create a torch-centric build that excels at taking down formidable bosses like Malenia and Radahn, the Promised Consort.

Where to Find the Ghostflame Torch

You can find the Ghostflame Torch by looting a corpse in the early sections of Nokron, the Eternal City.

After defeating Starscourge Radahn, you’ll unlock the path leading to Nokron in the Mistwood region. Use your torrent to drop down until you reach the first Site of Grace.

From the Site of Grace, move toward the rooftops. Jump from the first rooftop to the next distant one, and ascend until you find the Ghostflame Torch lying on a corpse.

Make sure to run and leap across the rooftops to avoid falling to your death.

To wield the Ghostflame Torch, you need 10 Strength, 10 Dexterity, and 14 Intelligence. It features E scaling for Strength and Dexterity, and D scaling for Intelligence.

The torch’s weapon skill is the Torch Attack, which can be replaced with the Ash of War: No Skill. However, you cannot apply any other ashes of war to the torch.

This torch cannot be infused with any magical abilities or greases. You can enhance it up to +25 using Smithing Stones. It has a weight of 2.5 and can be sold to any merchant for 100 runes.
