Lightning incantations have some of the coolest animations in Elden Ring. Lightning Spears are commonly used in PvE and PvP builds for their speed, stagger potential, and range. What’s better than chucking a lightning bolt at your foes as if you’re Zeus himself? Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree answers this question with the Knight’s Lightning Spear Incantation which lets us throw five Lightning Spears at our enemies.
Looking to upgrade your lightning build? Here’s everything you need to know about the Knight’s Lightning Spear Incantation in Elden Ring.
Where to find the Knight’s Lightning Spear Incantation
The Knight’s Lightning Spear is found in the Scorpion River Catacombs, north of Enir-Ilim and the Church of the Bud. One of the unique features of these catacombs are the Death Imp Statues that inflict the Death status when within their line of sight. We’ll use these imp statues as landmarks to make navigating the catacombs easier.
- Beginning from the Scorpion River Catacombs Site of Grace, move past the first Death Imp Statue until you reach a large room with spike traps on the ceiling.
- Move past the first spike trap. Around the corner to the right, sits a small cubby with a ladder outside the second spike trap’s reach.
- Climb the ladder and note the Death Imp Statue across the room. Sprint across the bridge and use the large statue to break the line of sight. Use consumables or patiently let your Death status bar disappear.
- There will be a ledge behind the statue that allows you to move to where the Death Imp Statue is. Run across it and you’ll see a long hallway with two imps guarding an item. This is the Knight’s Lightning Spear Incantation.
What does the Knight’s Lightning Spear Incantation do?
The Knight’s Lightning Spear is a Dragon Cult Incantation boosted by the Gravel Stone Seal. It can fire up to four additional spears, which follow shortly after the main spear. Just like the normal Lightning Spear, this Incantation inflicts a significant amount of poise damage when all five spears hit.
The FP cost is 29, steep compared to the regular Lightning Spear’s 18. However, after damage and poise calculations, the Knight’s Lightning Spear is the more efficient Incantation as long as at least four of the five spears hit.
