"And Clergyman Gurranq raised the claw mark seal up on high, saying, 'O Marika, bless this thy rock, that with it thou mayst smash thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And Marika did grin. And the people did feast upon the lightning rams, and deer, and land octopi, and boiled prawn, and turtle neck meat, and rowa fruit, and Springhare, and giant crabs..."

I'll include some notes on each incantation below but there is one major issue with these. They are meant for Strength builds and to be used with Clawmark Seal. But, Clawmark Seal will only provide decent scaling unless you have 30 fth. The primary value these incants have is that they would be most useful to Str builds that have low Fth as they all have low Fth requirements. But, unless you invest in Fth the damage output would be pitiful compared to your bonking tool. Hence rendering them highly ineffective to a pure Str build which is ironic because the whole idea of a Str build is battering your foes to death, not tickling them with pebbles and sand.

I had most success on a Blue Dancer variation with 45 Str / 30 Fth. With maximum scaling they are usable but still on the weaker side. But they are actually usable!

BEAST CLAW: BAD: Slow to cast, weak, and must be fully charged to get decent range. GOOD: Fun to use. I like when it climbs up walls. Crowds of enemies hate it.

BESTIAL CONSTITUTION: Umm there a boluses for this that don't require you to hold a talisman and toggle your spells. It's useless.

BESTIAL SLING: BAD: Low range. Low damage. Stuns nothing in PvE but dogs. Birds will still hack you to death. GOOD: Fun to use as it blends very well into combat. Casts quick. Effective in PvE but very annoying to be used against.

BESTIAL VITALITY: BAD: HP Regen rate is slow. GOOD: Low FP cost. Overall good HP Regen. Low stat Requirements. There is little to no downside to using this.

GURRANQ'S BEAST CLAW: BAD: No Hyper Armor. Can't be charged. Stun power is weak. Damage is weak. Casts slow. Range is mediocre. GOOD: Useful if surrounded by weak enemies. Fun to use. Looks cool.

STONE OF GURRANQ: BAD: Casts slow. Doesn't track the enemy. Cannot move while casting. GOOD: Good FP to damage ratio with high scaling. Can be spammed for excellent stun power. Rocks have a surprisingly large blast radius. Dependable and effective ranged attack.

IN CONCLUSION: Overall disappointing class of incants. They are intended for High Str and low Fth builds. But, without at least 30 Fth your damage will be pitiful.

MY SUGGESTED BUILD: 45 Str. 30 Fth. Clawmark Seal. Blue Dancer. Radagon Icon. Spam Rocks and enjoy your Bestial Vitality.

I call upon the power of Dwane "the rock" Johnson, and cast Hammer of Australopithecus!

Lets be real here claw mark is the strength Faith build the people in the souls fandom wanted and deserved thank you miyazaki

Running a 60 STR/16 FTH build around these. 16 FTH for FGMS since it buffs physical damage and gives you that sweet stamina regen for after chain-tossing your yeet boulders. I also use an Omen Cleaver w/ Vacuum slice for added mix-ups with the claw attacks.

10/10 favorite incant class

This page mentions clawmark seal boosting non-offensive spells yet vitality's page says it does not, and constitution mentions nothing about it, so what is the author meaning here?

I really wish they did holy and physical damage. Maybe 3/4 physical and 1/4 holy so we would still benefit from slapping on that holy cracked tear, since both weapons associated with bestial incantations and Maliketh do holy damage

Submit

it be cool if they scaled off strength

Submit

nothing says magic like a big rock

I wish you could get clergyman's attack where he errupts the ground and sends rocks flying into the sky that then fall down as a incantation

Submit

The game needs more than six of these grand miracles.

Submit

Faith overall: smite your foes with holy magics, scorching flames and the power of dragons!

Bestial incantations: big rocc go bonk, and pOcKeT SaND!
These spells are really things of beautiful simplicity.

They don’t really complement clerics too well. The damage is lack luster if you try to layer them with other spells and I bet sling will get nerfed. They complement strength builds very well though. Minimal faith investment with strength scaling seal so you can occasionally feel cool and mix things up. Bestial regen/constitution are handy. And the Boulder crash is a good ranged option to take back aggro if you’re in a group boss fight as tank. In pvp they make solid mix ups when layered with strength meta melee and ashes

Submit

I like them

Submit

Ok genuine question here even though they require faith to use, do they scale with faith since they're incantations, or do they scale with strength and/or dex due to them mainly dealing physical damage?

Submit

Goofy ahh rocks

Submit

I wonder if these incantations draw power from Outer God of Ancient Dragons and Beastmen?

Submit

Seems like most people using these are pure str builds with just enough faith to utilize them. With that in mind, is it worth using the radagon icon and offhand azur’s to hit max cast speed while using these or no?

Submit

I wish instead of the keen ash or weirdly dex-scaling greathammer, we got that upheaval spell Gurranq himself uses. Earthquake followed by a rain of boulders? Yes please. Hope to see more bestial stuff in DLC.

Submit

they deal physical damage right

Anybody have any ideas for famous "werewomen"? I looked online and mainly found bit players. I started a character named Salma Hayek, but I think she only ever played a vampire.

Submit

Not very shiny, but very efficient and practical. Perfect spells.

Submit

does the clawmark seal work on the godskin incantations? the beast and godskin spells get categorized together in the chest so i was curious if the buff would work on them.

Submit

Absolutely love this spell class, really hope they add some more of these in a future DLC, though I know it's unlikely. Just such cool spells that feel great to use, even if they are very simple.

Bestial Incantation are boosted by the blue dancer charm
Dunno if it's usefull

Finally they added another kind of elemental spells. I'm doing a Geomancer as my first character and it is pretty fun. I was bored of the same kind of spells in Dark Souls, always the same Fire-BlackFire/Lightning/Crystal-Arcane stuff. Being allowed to be a full Geomancer, Blood Mage, Cryomancer, Voidmancer or Dragon"priest" is refreshing.

Submit

honestly these shouldnt even cost faith, they should be pure strength scaling. they arent even magic, youre just slamming rocks at people which is god damn hilarious to think is a "spell" similar to studying demigod powers.

Submit

Crucible Tree Set also boosts beast incantations

Submit

Currently doing a kind of "dirty" dex playthrough with whips, claws and daggers and this incantation is honestly what i've been missing for the longest time:
It may not be great compared to big weapons, but the posture dmg is respectalble (great, compared to what I'm using)
It fits the build idea
I'd simply call it a NO, pocketsand spell. Haha, I'm channeling the power of ancient drag... NO, pocketsand
I'm swinging my large weapon throung your low hyperar... NO, pocketsand
The requirements are as low as the castingtime and the payoff is as high as your creativity with it.

Submit

Due to the low faith req should I pump strength and leave faith at 20 or 30? Or would the beast talisman be not as effective even if it scales with strength?

Submit

So, ive been testing bestial incantations in my latest build with Flame, Grant Me Strength and Golden Vow. It seems that this type of incantations is affected by Flame, Grant Me Strength and so can be stacked with Golden Vow. But there is an anomaly with Bestial Sling that if its buffed with those two incantations, the damage seems to be reduced instead of goes up. Idk what caused it, i just want to share this because i think its kinda neat.

Submit

Unfortunately, bestial sling is the only useful incantation apart from bestial vitality in the early game.

Submit

What damage type do these incantations inflict?

Submit

These fixed a problem in the souls series where miracles didn’t feel very physical, it’s nice to have the option now for faith builds, great for variety

Submit

They just fixed the deathwall near Cinquedea! Praise the Ring!

Submit

The Cinquedea weapon also increases beastial incantations

Stone of Gurranq is rapidly becoming my favorite incantation
