Flash Sweat is a Pyromancy in Dark Souls. To cast a pyromancy, you must use a Flame or Special Weapons that can cast Pyromancies.
Pyromancy of Carmina, who harnessed the power of flame to actualize the inner-self. Intense sweating reduces flame damage.
Carmina, the most accomplished pupil of Salaman the Master Pyromancer, pioneered new directions for the art of pyromancy.
Usage
- Personal Buff
- Duration: 60 seconds
- Covers player in water, generating an accompanying sound effect that can be a giveaway in PvP. Reduces fire damage by 45%.
Acquired From
- Laurentius at the Firelink Shrine after saving him in The Depths
Notes
- Flash Sweat is a Self Buff and interferes with other such buffs (i.e. Great Magic Barrier, Green Blossom, Power Within, etc.). As long as it's active it's not possible to cast other Self Buffs and vice versa.
- Unsurprisingly, quite useful against pyromancy-themed bosses such as Quelaag, or against pyromancy-reliant opponents in PvP. When utilized, even a fairly low level player with moderate HP can usually survive one or more Great Combustion or Chaos Fireball hits, or even a Fire Tempest, often allowing the user to surprise Pyromancers with magic or melee counterattacks. Particularly effective when paired with a high fire resist shield, but can also be very useful when combined with a high Magic resistant shield to cover one's bases against both damage types. Its relatively long duration also recommends it for invasion PvP, as one can benefit from it for some time even if the location of the invader or invadee is not initially known. It is in fact ideal in this regard for surviving Fire Tempest ambushes and similar surprise attacks.

This doesn't even go towards the pyromancer's bond achievement. I got the achievement just recently, and this doesn't even count towards it. You don't have to get this for an all achievements run.

Have you ever been in an SL1 run, and got stuck at the Centipede Demon lava jump because you broke your FaP ring? Well, you could fight it at the fog gate, then suffer with the awful camera, and it's jank attacks. There's got to be a better way...
Well good news, because that better way is HERE!!!!! From the labs of Carmina himself, we bring you Flash Sweat™! Walk on Lava freely, kill the boss, beat the game, and dab on the casuls with Flash Sweat™

This reduces lava damage, making it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to skip Ceaseless Discharge, which is useful if you hate that boss like I do

It reduces fire damage before defenses, so the incoming damage is actually 3-4 times less depending on your armor.

I like how I got all the pyromancies except this one then killed him when he went hollow. Just found out that apparently it helps vs Gwyn and can only be obtained by him. Super mad right now.

I realized my pyromancer at Firelink is gone now. Is there another way to get this, and if not, is Gwyn viable without it? I had a difficult time with Gwyn on my previous playthroughs even when I was using it.
made a MASSIVE mistake and killed Enigy (he looked like an enemy) and sent the other pyromancer into the swap by accident. this caused me to just NOT have a +10 flame, meaning no quelna and NO FLASH SWEAT! this spell seems so useful, because i can counter other pyromancers... but i DON'T HAVE IT! until NG+ that is >:D
