Elden Ringplayers on Reddit have discussed a possible contradiction with the Blasphemous Blade, and some have explained why it might not make sense.Elden Ringfeatures several types of weaponsand equipment that suit different playing styles. Many of these categories have special weapons that have unique effects or skills, and the Blasphemous Blade is no exception.
The Blasphemous Blade is a Greatsword that heals players after they defeat an enemy. It also has a unique weapon art called Taker’s Flames that unleashes a special attack dealing fire damage. Blasphemous Blade is probably one of the most unique weapons in the game, but one player tries to explain the reason why they think it doesn’t make sense in the world ofElden Ring.

A Reddit user named rectal4shadowing has shared an image of the in-game description ofthe Blasphemous Blade. The user questions why this weapon scales with the Faith stat and claims that it looks the exact opposite of a holy item. The Blasphemous Blade has a somewhat disturbing design, so the poster’s claims are not without merit. However, otherElden Ringfans don’t appear convinced by their argument and state that faith does not necessarily equate to holy.
Some Elden Ring Fans Think the Blasphemous Blade Makes Sense
These fans mention that faith is simply someone’s belief, and it isn’t synonymous with holy damage. A player named AdamOfIzalith explains that holy damage is just energy used by theGreater Will inElden Ring. They mention that some people confuse faith with moral righteousness, which may not always be the case. Furthermore, every group appears to be morally righteous in their minds, even if they are committing sins against others. A fan summarizes it well, as they state that something blasphemous to a few may be sacred to others. As another player aptly puts it, people can put faith in unholy things and beings.
