Updated June 7, 2024, by Christopher Norman Worcester: As players prepare head back to the Lands Between with Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree, more and more are returning to the base game to refresh their memories and get that roll-dodge muscle memory back. Because of this, we will be updating our most popular guides to include videos. This update focuses on collecting the Flamberge Greatsword from Redmane Castle.

Elden Ring has expanded the classic FromSoftware Soulslike formula with a sprawling open world, offering players all kinds of rewards for curiosity and exploration. The Lands Between are littered with crumbling castles, deadly bosses, and powerful loot. As a result, Elden Ring offers a huge arsenal of weaponry for players to find, and even the most basic sword can be improved with Ashes of War and Smithing Stones.

Bleed builds are some of the strongest builds in Elden Ring right now, and there are a couple of weapons of each type that are perfect for stacking blood loss. One of the best Bleed Greatswords is the Flamberge , a long, undulating blade with a high capacity for blood loss.

Where To Find the Flamberge in Elden Ring

Elden Ring Redmane Castle Flamberge Location

Players looking to create a perfect Elden Ring Bleed build with the Flamberge will need to make their way to Caelid, the Scarlet Rot-infested region in the southeast corner of the Lands Between.

The Flamberge once belonged to Witch-Hunter Jerren , an NPC who inhabits Redmane Castle , and can be found in the same location. Fortunately, players won't need to defeat Jerren to gain the sword, though it will only be available if the General Radahn-slaying festival that Jerren hosts hasn't begun or is finished.

Once players have defeated Radahn, or before they enter the festival area, they can find the Flamberge on the southeast rampart. This area is accessible by climbing the stairs to the east of the teleporter entry point, then entering the tower and taking the ladder up. The Flamberge can be found on a dead body, guarded by a Pumpkin-Head enemy.

Elden Ring Flamberge Description

The Flamberge is the perfect early choice for players that are focusing on Bleed and also like the weight and damage of a greatsword. Its location makes it quite easy to find in the early-to-mid game, allowing players to get a head start on their ideal Elden Ring build.

  • Default Ash of War: Stamp (Upward Cut) - A 5/8 FP cost attack that first blocks an incoming blow, then counters with a powerful upward sweep.
  • Weight: 10.0
  • Attributes Required: Str 15, Dex 14
  • Attribute Scaling: Str D, Dex D (B)

As a normal-type weapon, the Flamberge can be infused with Elden Ring's Ashes of War abilities, changing its damage, scaling, and unique power.
