One of the core mechanics in Elden Ring is its magic, split between sorcery and Incantation. Many spells are born from those two, where some spells are fascinating to look at while casting and terrifying while being cast upon.
Among those spells is an Incantation in Elden Ring called Lightning Spear. Upon casting, the tarnished creates a lightning bolt in their hands, then launches it at their enemies, dealing lightning damage. Finding the Lightning Spear can be tricky, especially within the vast lands of Elden Ring. To know everything there is to learn about this spell, players can follow this guide.
How To Get The Lightning Spear In Elden Ring
Lightning Spear spell is an Incantation in Elden Ring. The spell is one of three available within the Golden Cult Prayerbook. To get the Prayerbook, players have to beat a golden knight called Gold Dragon Cult Knight, located east of Liurnia, then give the book to any Incantation merchant. Afterward, they will sell the spells to the tarnished.
How To Find And Beat The Gold Dragon Cult Knight
Players can find the Gold Dragon Cult Knight roaming around many packs of wolves in a green area in between the Carian Study Hall and the Artists Shack, east of Liurnia. There's a Site of Lost Grace near the Artists Shack, and players can easily find the Gold Dragon Cult Knight from there.
The Gold Dragon Cult Knight in Elden Ring has a variety of hard-hitting attacks that could one-shot the tarnished if not leveled enough. Players should sneak behind and backstab the Knight and try to be as patient as possible to deliver hits. As for his attacks, they're slow and easy to dodge, but deadly if they strike. Upon beating the Gold Dragon Cult Knight, players will be rewarded with the Golden Cult Prayerbook.
What To Do With The Golden Cult Prayerbook
Like any other Prayerbook, the Golden Cult Prayerbook can be given to an Incantation merchant like Brother Corhyn, and they will sell tarnished the newly learned incantations. The Gold Cult Prayerbook contains three Incantations that inflict lightning damage. The three spells are the Honed Bolt, Electrify Armament, and Lightning Spear.
Lightning Spear In Elden Ring
Lightning Spear is a great spell in Elden Ring. It can deal massive damage if it was used in the right circumstances and on the right enemies. Players need 17 Faith to be able to cast the spell. It also has a decent range and can be launched while riding on Torrent's back. Additionally, players can charge the Lightning Spear to inflict more lightning damage.
Lightning Spear only scales with Faith, so the more Faith tarnished have, the more damage the spear will deal. All in all, Lightning Spear in Elden Ring is a decent addition to any Faith-related build.
