Todesfaelle Flamme

Todesfaelle Flamme, whose name translates roughly to "Death's Flame" in German, is a unique Zweihander that specializes in fire damage. This exceptional two-handed sword offers substantial fire-based offense and defense, making it a situational weapon for fire-focused builds in Nightmare and early Hell difficulties.

Fire Arsenal

The sword packs impressive fire damage with Adds 50-200 Fire Damage and +120-160% Enhanced Damage. Its unique 10% Chance to Cast Level 6 Fire Ball on Attack adds area-of-effect damage, though the fireball's impact is modest. More interesting are the charged skills: Level 10 Fire Wall (20 Charges) and Level 10 Enchant (45 Charges). The Enchant charges provide significant attack rating bonuses, making this a viable switch weapon for pre-buffing characters lacking reliable AR sources.

Defense and Limitations

Todesfaelle Flamme offers solid fire protection with Fire Resistance +40% and +10 Fire Absorb, effectively mitigating incoming fire damage. However, the weapon struggles in Hell difficulty where fire immunes are abundant. The high requirements (125 Strength, 94 Dexterity) and large inventory space make it cumbersome. While it can be upgraded to Colossus Sword, the fire-immune monsters in Hell render it largely obsolete compared to runewords like Obedience or Insight for mercenaries.
