Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Superior incantation of the Fire Monks.

Creates a stream of fire to burn the area before the caster. This incantation can be cast while in motion. Hold to maintain the effect.

The Giants' Flame is the flame of ruin, capable of burning the Erdtree. And so, following the War against the Giants, its ruinous blaze was sealed, and guardians were appointed to watch over it.

Acquisition

Purchase: Roundtable Hold / Liurnia of the Lakes / Altus Plateau / Leyndell, Royal Capital / Mountaintops of the Giants

• Sold for 5,500 Runes by Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows after giving either of them the Fire Monks' Prayerbook.
• Should the prayerbook be given to one of them and then that instructor die before purchasing this Incantation, the player can still purchase it from the Twin Maiden Husks for the same price, after giving them the respective tutor's Bell Bearing.
  • WARNING: Should both Corhyn and Miriel die before giving either of them the prayerbook, this incantation becomes unavailable for that character until a new Journey is started.

Effects

Produces a continuous stream of Fire with an Attack Power equal to 51% of Incantation Scaling, hitting once per second.

Notes

• Costs 1 FP per cast and continues to quickly drain FP in 1-point increments as long as it is maintained.
• Costs 2 Stamina every time FP is consumed.
• Deals 1 Stance damage per hit.
• Can be cast while moving.
• Cannot be charged, but holding the button sustains the fire stream until FP is depleted.
• Resets the Frostbite status effect.

Boosting

• Fire Scorpion Charm increases Fire Attack Power by 12% (8% in PvP).
• Flame, Grant Me Strength increases Fire Attack Power by 20% (15% in PvP) for 30 seconds as a Body Buff.
• Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear increases Fire Attack Power by 20% (15% in PvP) for 3 minutes.
• Giant's Seal increases Attack Power by 20% when held in an active hand, and by 44% when wielded in each hand.

Strategies

• This spell has limited damage potential due to its low Attack Power multiplier and extremely high rate of FP consumption.
• It can be cast continuously when paired with the Cerulean Hidden Tear.
• Frostbite builds can use this spell as a relatively quick and inexpensive method to clear the Frostbite ailment from targets, allowing them to reapply it for additional damage.

Trivia

• This spell is used by Chief Guardian Arghanthy
• In Update 1.07, the continuous FP drain was reduced from 1 to 0, effectively lowering the FP cost from 1(1) to 1(0).
  • In Update 1.07.1, the change was reverted, increasing the continuous FP drain from 0 back to 1.
