Black Flame


In-Game Description


A pyromancy discovered from the Dark of the Abyss
by a pyromancer who wandered Oolacile.
Conjure a great black flame in one's palm.

Black flames are weighty, and inflict physical damage,
enough to smack away the mightiest of the shields.

    • After Sif is freed (or if arrived via the elevator) move towards the Prism Stone and follow the path downwards.
    • Keep close to the right wall and move on. See the corpse behind three Humanity Phantoms.
