Obtaining Bestial Incantations
- Most Bestial Incantations can be acquired from Gurranq, Beast Clergyman. This Npc can be found at the Bestial Sanctum, in Caelid. Check his location on the Interactive Map.
- You have to bring Deathroot to Gurranq, Beast Clergyman in order to make the trade, he doesn't accept
Runes as normal merchants do.

- Clawmark Seal provides a 10% boost in effectiveness for all Bestial Incantations, including non-offensive ones.
- The Cinquedea Dagger raises the potency of Bestial Incantations by an additional 10%.
- Radagon Icon shortens spell casting time, allowing you to cast more quickly.

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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

Stone of Gurranq is rapidly becoming my favorite incantation
Range high damage absurd stagger and quick to cast
Friggin great all around
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?
