Pyromancy Flame is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
A flame catalyst used by pyromancers.
Pyromancers rouse this flame to produce various fire arts. Equip pyromancy flame to produce pyromancy. Attune pyromancies at a bonfire.
The strength of a pyromancy depends on the strength of one's pyromancy flame, which can be improved through reinforcement.
Acquired From
- Right after defeating the Flexile Sentry in No-Man's Wharf, climb the ladder but do not activate the navigational device. Instead, look around for a metal chest containing the Pyromancy Flame. The same chest contains Fireball.
- If you do activate the navigational device, the Pyromancy Flame and Fireball will remain in the same chest. However, leaving the area implies that you will have to either use a Homeward Bone before reaching the next bonfire or travel back to No-Man's Wharf later in order to retrieve it.
Hints and Tips:
- Fire damage increases with Pyromancy Flame upgrade.
- The flame can be upgraded by Carhillion of the Fold and Rosabeth of Melfia using the "Reinforce Pyromancy Flame" option.
- Does not directly scale off of any stat, but does scale with the Fire ATK Bonus, which is affected by both Intelligence and Faith.
- Fire damage soft cap hit is when Intelligence + Faith = 60.
- It gains S ranks scaling when upgraded 5 times.
Upgrade Cost:
Souls and Fire Seed.

Regular(R), Thrust(T), Slash(Sl), Strike(St)
AnonymousWhy did I sell it to Gavlan? Now I can't use flash sweat or anything else useful for my cleric. Does bonfire aesthetic bring it back? I bet it doesn't.

If you missed the chest the first time around, warp back to Fisherman's Wharf. The ship returned and the chest with the Pyromancy Flame was there.

No idea if anyone still reads this, but it DOES get S scaling at "Pyromancy Flame+4" state. (SOTFS PC)

"It gains S rank scaling when upgraded 5 times." Well, sure, but you scroll down for half a second and see a table that claims it gets S scaling at +4, not +5. Which is it?

No stat requirements, huh? Guess we're all meant to be caster builds, whether we like it or not

Something interesting is that, make it poison infusion will have higher fire damage. With 99 Intelligence and 99 faith, it comes about 800 fire damage. You need cheat engine to make it come true, it's weird but funny. It also works to other chimes or staves.

You can summon Fireballs, Firestreams and mighty Firestorms but you can't lit Torches or Scones...

Missed the chest first go round, I've gone back to No Man's Wharf, but boat's gone... Any way to get it now? Aside from going NG+?

If you have enough Fire Seeds, you can upgrade to +10.
Maybe it's a system thing? I got it there on x360, with SOTFS.

Is there even a reason to upgrade if you only use flame weapon and warmth?
