Incantation Scarab | Elden Ring Wiki

Weird that just this one had the extra bit of lore

Submit

15% reduced FP cost for incants is great, and +5% damage taken is rather negligible. The only real downside from this is it looks ****ing stupid, though that's just me.

Submit

timed to do the most scuffed adjudicator cosplay with this "helmet" and the altered fire prelate armor

Submit

I love you Incantation Scarab

Comparing the entry for this helm in the game's "EquipParamProtector.txt" file with the entry for the Glintstone Scarab (whose damage negation stats are all positive) shows that they differ in only 9/252 lines. In particular, the scarabs have the same cutRates. For example, both have a magicDamageCutRate of 0.954, which translates to the Glinstone's 4.6 (=100*(1-0.954)) but NOT to the Incantation's -4.94. All but one of the lines in which the entries differ just seem to be IDs - the remaining line is the partsDamageRate which I don't think is relevant. I wonder what's going on here.

This doesn't help with spells that when held increase its duration such as Unendurable Frenzy or the Dragon Breaths. Only the initial cost to cast is reduced but the amount consumed for holding it down stays the same.

Fromsoft please buff this I'm begging miyazaki please

Submit

Why does Fromsoft always make the negatives outweight the positves?

Using on my Black flame Blade build, with the primal glintstone Blade (can be traded by the ceruleam ember medalion to counter the Hp debuf) this combo alows me tô cast Black flame blade like infinite times, its a terrible build i know, but its really fun to me, since i use Black flame blade for the First time i aways try to find ways to increse this spell eficiency...

Submit

You know what even though its a terrible helmet that's in major need of a buff I will still run this for the sole purpose of having a piss colored dung beetle on my head

Submit

Seems all the scarab's damage increase is hardly worth it for their benefit. Of course if you don't plan on getting hit go for it. But mainly you'll take a lot more damage since this item isnt only increasing damage taken but also taking the place of another head piece

Submit

Damn, From even making me sad about a bug with these item descriptions.

Submit

Spell cost reduction seems pretty meh in this game. Sorcerers might benefit more because they can't trade fp for hp.

Submit

Useful effect, terrible fashion. Thanks I hate it.

Submit

15% less fp? Sounds good right? But what if i rephrased this helmet as a head piece that:
1: not only occupies your head slot but also
2: INcreases the damage you take,
3: you have to do some stuff to get,
4: looks like trash,
And 5: gives you the equivalent of like 6 mind ONLY on specifically mono faith builds.
So yeah, not the best. Useful for challenge runs and full casting builds if you dont mind taking more damage.

Submit

Tried this thing right now, it still doesn't work.

Submit

absolute must have on builds that chug fp like dragon incants

Submit

Pretty damn good for an dagger & beast seal. Only problem is finding armor fitting.
currently wearing the morgot, just need something yellow n low weight.

Submit

The wiki says that the painting is located in the "Artist's shack", what it doesn't say is that the one you need to find is in Limgrave, not Liurnia as the link shows.

If you want to see where exactly, click on the paintings name and locate the shack through that page.

SO ugly....
Not very UwU~ at all

Anyone else have ptsd from Solaire

"As a scarab approaches death, it abandons its rolled treasure and stretches its wings wide for long journey to its home nest"

This sentence let me think that - MAYBE - if you wear it a certain time, something happens with the helmet.. sounds like something for me.. any answers?

Submit

"Slghtly reduces"... 15% is not at all a slight reduction. This is dope as hell.

Submit

Tested March 23rd 2022, this seems to be working and is no longer broken

Blessing's Boon reduced from 30 to 26
Dragonclaw reduced from 42 to 36
Rotten Breath reduced from 36 to 31

These values seem to roughly align with the stated 15% reduction

Submit

Glintstone scarab is lowering FP by 15 not scarab headband. My mistake above.

Submit

Wrong scarab for lowering FP by 15. That would be the Scarab Headband.

Submit

The Incantation Scarab helmet is NOT bugged, it does reduce FP cost when using Incantations while equipped, I tested it with lightening bolt several times and it gave me an extra cast every time.

Submit

This items puts all my damage negation at -numbers.

Submit

The bug is not bugged. My Catch Flame does get reduced from 10 fp to 9 fp (at least a 10% difference).

Submit

I don't think the ghost will appear if you've progressed far enough in the story for the world to undergo a major visual/environmental change. I have the painting and have visited the grave but the ghost won't spawn.

Submit

"(This item is bugged - the reduce FP is not applied on incantations nor spells - March 2022)"
It will always be "bugged" in a way

Submit

It says its bugged, but it very well could be meant to be similar to farron ring where it reduces fp for weapon arts

Submit

ah, yes. the maddening fire bug. nifty.

Submit

I am become bug

Submit

Comparing this to the Banished Knight Helm, equipping this dropped my damage reduction by about -10%
Not sure how much it reduces FP cost by, but looks like 10-15%?

Not worth it IMO, but could be if you think wearing a bug on your head is funny.

Submit

found one of these after accidentally striking a ghost sitting on a chair in front of some graves northwest of the seaside ruins just south of lake argheel.

BUG MAN
