There are a lot of fun spells in Elden Ring, so deciding whether to go for sorceries or incantations can be tough. In a few rare spells, though, you'll need both stats. Such is the case with Explosive Ghostflame, which has a high stat requirement in both Intelligence and Faith, making it a somewhat niche option for magic users. Either way, if it's something you'd like to cast at your enemies, we've got you covered with this guide on how to get it.
Explosive Ghostflame's item description reads:
Sorcery of the servants of Death. Strike the ground with the staff, triggering an explosion of ghostflame that burns the surrounding area. In the time when there was no Erdtree, death was burned in ghostflame. Deathbirds were the keepers of that fire.
The Death Rite Bird encounter is only available at night.The Death Rite Bird can be fought on the ice just a bit southeast of the Apostate Derelict Site of Grace, which is located at the very top of the biome. For adequately-leveled characters, this optional boss shouldn't pose too much of a threat. It's weak to Holy damage and its attacks aren't particularly challenging to dodge--though blocking makes the whole fight even easier. But however you opt to tackle this foe, your reward will be Explosive Ghostflame.
