To use the Blasphemous Claw in Elden Ring, assign it to a quick-item slot and deploy it like a parry tool during Maliketh the Black Blade’s second phase. When Maliketh’s sword glows yellow, activate the Claw just before the strike lands to stagger him, creating a window to punish with counterattacks. The Claw costs no FP, is reusable, and can remain equipped for the entire fight. Gamepur guide.

Where to get it: Defeat Recusant Bernahl in Crumbling Farum Azula after you finish Volcano Manor and defeat Praetor Rykard. Bernahl invades near Beside the Great Bridge; when you defeat him, he drops the Blasphemous Claw. Equip it in a quick slot and use it during Maliketh’s fight as described above. TheGamer guide Game8 guide.

Tips for use: The Claw’s parry works on Maliketh’s attacks that are signaling a golden glow; timing is tight, but a successful parry briefly staggers Maliketh and lets you chain attacks. It is a reusable tool and does not consume FP, making it a clutch option in the second phase. ScreenRant guide Eldenpedia entry.
