Dragon Communion Incantations | Elden Ring Wiki

can't wait for ds1 style drake lightning breath in dlc

Submit

After 1.09, how do named compare with unnamed?

Submit

need poison breath...

Submit

In PVP, Borealis's Mist may be the most powerful spell in this category, but the thing is a lot of people these days bring magic and frostbite resistance setup as there are many players go with int build, so Dragonfire and Agheel's Flame can be effective sometimes because there are not many people who bring fire resistance setup, plus you can combo them with pyromancy spells also.

“Hey Agheel do you know candice”

“YOUR FRIENDS ARE DEAD RAAHH”

I'm a melee only guy usually, but I'm considering going wayyy beyond "meta level" just for these spells. They're too cool to pass up.

Submit

Do Dragon Comm scale with Arcane or Faith?

Submit

Maybe I'm being stupid, but lore wise, why these require faith? You're not praying to dragons but rather stealing their power which is along the lines of arcane no?

Submit

Dragons kinda got shafted in this compared to other from soft games, none are really needed for the main questline, they are all pretty much the same fight, just with different stats and status build up. the lore is incredibly bare bones, and the power you can get from them is pretty average.

Submit

"Elden ring is too fast-paced, I can't keep up with the endgame bosses" if this is you, may I introduce you to dragon communion spells, specifically dragonmaw.

Submit

Goofy ahh lizards

Submit

I just tested it, its 4, counting 4, dragon hearts you must consume to gain the special eye alteration

Submit

You need a to have learned a minimum of four dragon communion incantations for your eyes to alter. This doesnt translate into new games, you have to learn a minimum of four in one run to keep the eyes

Submit

The amount of incantations needed to get the eyes is 5 or 6.

Submit

As of patch 1.09, Roar Medallion now boosts the breath-based dragon incantations.

Submit

I beat greyoll dragon early game but I can’t see or get Greyolls Roar. Anyone have any ideas?

Submit

May want to edit the roar medallion statement as of patch 1.09

Submit

Are these incantations magic damage or does it depend on the specific incantation? (dragon fire, ice, magic breath etc)

Submit

As of patch 1.09 the Roar Medallion does indeed effect Dragon Breath incantations, it's updated on the Roar Medallion page but not yet here. :)

Submit

Hope they add a bloodflame breath in the dlc

Submit

INSANELY good in low level pvp with pretty minimal errand running. you arcane stat can be boosted very hard by headgear on top of stuff like marikas scarseal from siofra, you can use half of the dragon spells in the game by lvl 30, and they deal LOADS of damage

Submit

As of update, 1.09 the roar medallion does now effect dragon communion incantations.

Submit

Roar medallion now correctly boosts damage.

Submit

why update the icons they look worse

Submit

I just bought the 4 basic breath attacks. It only takes 4 for your characters eyes to change

Submit

What I don’t get is that there is this whole thing made about dragon communion eventually transforming the user into a magma worm, yet this game lacks a draconic transformation like it’s DS cousins

Submit

I need more dragon.
I wanna eat more dragon. lots of dragon

Submit

What would you say would be the maximum amount of faith you need to wield all of the spells?

Submit

Does any of the breath incantations gain extra damage with the Godfrey Icon?

Submit

To the poster below me I would like to say "To the poster below me"

Submit

to the poster below me i agree

My personal review of the incantations (general spell)

Flame breath
It slaps good and looks good. Great on animal.

Glintstone breath
It slaps good and looks good.
Great on player.

Rot breath
Bro eat a mint.
Good against big health bois.

Ice breath
It slaps real good and the sound tickles my eardrums.
Very nICE

Magma spew
Weighty. Good for area control. Getting around walls. Blocking doorways. It’s a wyrm. Very cool.

Placidusax Ruin
I don’t care if this doesn’t count. It might as well.
Knock back and damage on cast. Great for keeping players away. And anything else. Coolest looking spell in the game. Anyone who disagrees died to the boss too many times.

Greyroll roar
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Very good at giving caster some space. Missing this will make you vulnerable. Damage and defense reduction worth it.

Dragonclaw
It is a slappy slam. Big hurt, big poise, big hand. What more do you need?

Dragonmaw
Oh. I guess this is what you need.
Tarnished! What does your HUD say about this spell’s damage level!?

IT’S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND!!!

Submit

To the poster below me: Because I like them. What other reason would I have to use something in this game? I don't need to "destroy" bosses, I've beaten everything with just a longsword.

Submit

to the poster below me: bro just pump faith the dragon breaths are all nukes you absolutely do not need to go above 20 arcane to see mileage out of the breaths. applying frost and then rot will destroy anything in the game that can be afflicted by it. it's maybe not worth relying on the raw damage of the other ones unless you build specifically for it but as you found out, why the **** would you lol

Submit

To the poster below me: In order to get the most out of Dragon Communion incantations, your stats will have to become a bit of a mess. This is because the seal you'll want to use, the Dragon Communion Seal, scales with Faith and Arcane. Coincidentally, this is also the best seal for blood incantations as the Arcane scaling affects their status build-up.

The issue here is that not a single weapon in this game scales with both Faith and Arcane. So if you want to hit the softcaps for your seal (30 Faith/45 Arcane), you'll have to pump a bunch of points into a stat that you won't get to use elsewhere.

On top of that, Dragon Communion incantations devour stamina and FP, which you'll also want to have a good amount of. That's why I recommend sticking to an Arcane weapon that inflicts hemorrhage. For example, Mohg's spear, Morgott's curved sword, Eleonora's poleblade and Rivers of Blood, which is what I use. The blood loss they inflict can make up for what you lack in AR, and enemies that aren't susceptible to them, you can simply smash or chomp on with Dragonclaw/Dragonmaw.

Personally, my character's stat spread at RL 150 is 50/27/21/12/35(+5)/9/30/45. Pretty messy, right? And as if that weren't enough, I wear four damage-boosting talismans (Kindred of Rot's Exultation, Lord of Blod's Exultation, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent's Prosthesis). So yeah, if you want to be dwegon, you have to get quite creative about doing decent damage.

Submit

Do Dragon Incantations scale better with faith or with Arcane? Is a (mostly) Arcane build viable with these? As in, get the minimum faith to use the Dragon incant you want to use and dump rest into arcane and combine with occult weapon and blood incantations as well?????

Submit

Your eyes change by consuming 8 dragon hearts... Though I'd like confirmation

Dragonform wen?

Submit

Wariina, kurae na! Dragon Install!

Submit

I wouldn't mind a poise damage reduction strictly for pvp, getting staggered repeatedly is pretty brutal on top of the high damage

Submit

Why no lightning dragon incantation ? Bolt of Gransax and the red lightning incantations link to a powerful ancient dragon and also the capital's dragon cult. A bona fide lightning breath dragon communion incantation would have been preferable to that waste of three memory slots, and uncontrollable s**t-show that is placidusax's ruin. I'll put my money where my mouth is though, I think there will be when the DLC turns up.

Submit

I can'teven tell that the damage was nerfed in pvp. can still oneshot peeps pretty effortlessly

Submit

when are you gonna update the Roar medallon thing? it works as for 1.7

Submit

Fingers crossed for a death blight communion spell in the DLCs...

Submit

What about my boy placidudisax? His spell is amazing and I just want to know if its "dragon communion" or Dragon cult".

Submit

No

Submit

we really need a bloodflame breath

Submit

Is there an NPC or Boss who uses Dragon incantation besides Dragons ?

Submit

nerfed almost all of these in 1.07. From really hates dragon spells, huh?

Submit

dragon jumpscare

Submit

damage probably needs to be tweaked. at 50 arc with two +10 dragon seals i can consistently oneshot entire coop groups

Submit

Please add, named breaths do more damage, less range horizontal range, used midair and longer vertical range (activated after a jump) do no ask how this works out but my main is dragon based incantations, and this is how it’s been each and every time

Submit

I hope in the dlc we got more of these i find the concept of them wery intresting

Submit

It appears that holding the sacred seal on the offhand only allows one cast of the named breath attacks when casting while jumping.

Submit

There's something I'm missing about the damage done by the dragon communion incantations and I'm hoping someone here will be able to clarify.
I got caught out by a revenant I wasn't aware of in some ruins, exzykes's decay shredded it but that's what got me thinking because it didn't die slowly as the scarlet rot ate away at its HP but from being hit by the rot breath, it was dead before the first cast had finished and didn't need to be hit with a second.
I use borealis's mist to speed up the rune farm around blood-filled lake, a day or two ago I tried smarag's glintstone just to see and I think smarag's is killing the red albinaurics faster than borealis's had been.
So is this because the albinaurics have a higher resistance to cold than magic? If that is the case I still don't understand because just like the revenant I used ekzykes's on, the albinaurics hit by borealis's were not dying from DoT they were dying from being hit by the breath. Can anyone explain this please?

Submit

can't wait for bleed and death blight breath in the dlc

Submit

I just met the requirements to get the dragoneyes. So, thought I may as well note what I did. I killed Greyoll and used her hearts to get Dragonclaw, Glintstone Breath, and Greyoll's Roar (I do not have the stats for Greyoll's, but I do for the others). No eyes. Killed Agheel and used his heart to get Rotten Breath. Got eyes. In other words, one of these seem to be the conditions:
-Purchase four incantations.
-Purchase three Cathedral incantations (Dragonclaw, Dragonmaw, and Dragonfire are available at the church, the rest require the cathedral)
-Purchase five memory slots worth of incantations (Greyoll's requires 2)
-Purchase six hearts worth of incantations
-Purchase five hearts worth of Cathedral incantations

Potentially could require multiple of the above. Also, if it does have multiple requirements, then it is also possible that one of the incantations must be named.

Submit

I hate to say this because I want these incantations to be good but it seems like they just aren’t up to par ( outside of the scarlet rot inflicting one’s). The bite and claw come out too slow and getting used to their tracking is tough. Roar is nice but again if you’re trying to cast bite or claw or roar in a boss fight you’re most likely trading hits

Submit

>> As you obtain more Incantations your eyes will change to resemble a dragon's. It is unknown as of now exactly how many are required. The whites of your eyes turn black and your irises gold. Your pupils also become slits.

I've bought only GREYOLL'S ROAR for the achievement, and when I later used the mirror to change appearance a bit, I noticed that my eyes were red, although I didn't create them this way. But the mirror allowed to revert the change, so I'm not sure what caused it.

Submit

I Hope Theres coming a ancient dragon breath or breaths in futur dlc

Submit

Did we really need 9 "summon giant dragon head to shoot fire/mist" spells...?

Submit

protip: do not use named dragon spells

Submit

Goofy ahh dragons

Submit

Please note: once you have bought 4 dragon communion incantations, you CAN NO LONGER CHANGE YOUR TARNISHED'S EYE COLOR.
I
noticed while i was playing with the cosmetic editor, as mine started with one white Screla/Black Iris and one black Screla/Red Iris.

Now its locked into Black Screla/gold iris

Not sure if it Unlocks again in NG+

Submit

I'm kinda shocked there was no Holy Dragon sort. We have fire, ice, magic and even rot, but no holy.. Oh well

Submit

Yes we have scarlot rot breaths, but I cannot be the only one hoping for a posion/toxic breath. Poison gang knows what it felt like to be roasted alive while intoxicated by sindh.

Submit

Honestly the family of Incantations with the highest DLC potential. C’mon, it’s freakin dragon powers, go all out!

Submit

You forgot to list the Blood Dancer Build among your videos.

Submit

There are 14? Then why do only 13 appear here?

Submit

In Dark Souls, I was quite disappointed with the Ancient Dragon transformations.


In Elden Ring, however…

Submit

for the eyes you need to buy at least four dragon communion incantations, I had bought 3 and looked at my eyes and they looked completely normal, bought a fourth one (agheel's flame, first named dragon incantation that I bought, don't know if this makes any difference) and eyes were completely draconic

Submit

It looks like the cosmetic effect applies after acquiring all the Dragon Communion incantations.

There wasn't any change until I bought the last one, then my character sparkled gold a little bit and their pupils were slitted. No color change though.

Submit

Rotten Breath is outright broken.....so long as you're patient and not going to stupidly pull a Leeroy Jenkins. Outside of Crucible Knights and anything in the Lake of Rot, there's very few enemies in the game that won't take constant DOT (damage over time) from it. Even with just the minimum stat requirements you can be extremely overpowered against even bosses. Erdtree Guardians will melt if you can land a fully charged one, and what it does to Radahn is outright hysterically funny - three underleveled players hitting him with it (yes, this means me back then), when they're barely doing chip damage with normal attacks, dropped in him so fast he didn't even reach phase two. Theodorix's Magma, while rather situational considering it takes a good full second longer to cast, drops a lingering AOE field that does constant fire damage and if you don't target lock, you can spread it around you nearly 180 degrees side-to side, or front-pick a side-to-back. And, unlike the other breath attacks, the effects go through walls. Which can obviously work wonders when dealing with ambushers as it always seems to count as a backstab so they poise break/stand there int he lava to take more damage longer. Or, if you do target lock, and its one of the dumber AI enemies who rush in, the damage effect of each 'puddle' of lava stacks. This also works really really well in some of the dungeons or other areas with tiny corridors but fatty enemies - lure them to the door, stand just outside of range, and start burping up lava. Dragonclaw, so long as you don't spam it as the 2nd hit has a huge cooldown time, the initial hit is incredibly fast and does huge poise damage. A good but simple combo is Dragonclaw > R2 > Dragonclaw > R1 > backoff to regen stamina/chug FP > repeat. I've yet to use Dragonmaw, although I have it, so can't comment about it. The other 'standard' breath types are more situational, but work pretty much identically to how I described Rotten Breath except they don't do DOT (if Dragonice causes Frostbite, and not just ice damage, I haven't noticed it). The 'stronger' breath attacks though are really iffy as to how well you can work them. 14-15% more damage is nice, but the slow windup animation doesn't have hyper-armor/invincibility frames that I've ever spotted, and you're stuck in mid-air until it finishes, plus has a much shorter range. In the opposite, the Ekzyke's Breath version seems to stack Scarlet Rot buildup much much faster/activating it on most enemies instantly. Against fast enemies, not so good as they might dodge out faster than you can cast it. Against slow fatties, its deadly.

Submit

Someone replied to my question asking if using the dragon communion incantations were viable for doing a lot of damage and if they were worth using, saying they were if used properly. So does the reason I'm not seeing a lot of damage being done by the dragon incantations I've tried out so far have anything to do with me only putting the bare minimum into arcane to meet the requirement needed use them? Does the dragon communion incantation scaling need investments in arcane as well as faith to get their full potential?

Submit

Apart from some interesting lore and some tough boss fights, koff Ekzykes koff, is anyone actually getting any use out of the dragon communion incantations? I've had Dragonfire and the weaker version of Ekzykes's rotten breath for a good while and I find them both to be more or less useless. I've tried the rotten breath on quite a few different enemies and bosses and apart from draining my FP really quickly I've seen nothing special in it, none of the strong enemies rotten breath would be useful for seem affected by rot, and dragonfire isn't that much better, again it seems much better at draining my FP than it is dealing damage to strong enemies. Seems really pointless going to the trouble of getting the dragon hearts needed to buy them.

Submit

Absolutely love the implication that these ancient warriors befriended the dragons, used their incantations via pact and worshipped them. And then there's my guy over here, eating the hearts of their shitty, inferior descendants in the present day in order to spew turbo poison at enemies. Truly, the best school of magic in the game.

Submit

Placidusax's Ruin is the 14th incantation missing in the list.

Submit

They might seem difficult to set up but they are brutally effective at one shotting entire ganks. Use with poise since there’s tons of projectile spam in invasions. Veterans or bull goat are the way, even if you gotta sacrifice vigor,talismans or downsize weaponry. 30 mind minimum for invasions, I run 50 vigor at 125 but if you’re better than me you might go little less. Greyolls roar for close quarters. Dragon fire to finish someone off fast. Agheels flame or enzykes decay to hit the entire crew if they’re soft mages. Borealis mist to hit the whole crew if they’re tanky melee builds. Str/vigor builds will be weak to magic but strong to fire/rot/physical and opposite with mages. Most ganks are squishy mages so heavy flame or heavy rot will one shot with 28 fth/42arc that I run. Prefer occult infusions over bleed due to the passive or cowardly nature of most opponents even in duels and scoring bleed on max level bull goat ganker isn’t worth getting traded by his moonveil.

Submit

site says there's 14 incantations, their picture references only show 13 available. I also have 13. Is there a total of 13 or 14 in game?

Submit

Okay these are very good, but why aren't we able to get the quick cast Dragonfire spell that the Banished Knights in Farum Azula use?

Submit

Four Dragon Communion Incantations gave me the eyes. Though it could also be number of hearts. Three for Greyoll's Roar and one each for Dragonice, Rotten Breath and Glintstone Breath

Submit

Is Placidusax’s Ruin considered a Cult or Communion spell? Or is just a unique spell that fits into neither?

Submit

I have killed EVERY SINGLE dragon boss Elden Ring has to offer (including all wyrms and secret dragons) yet I can only buy 3 incantations. Could anyone explain why?

Submit

does anyone know if the mechanic where you can only jump cast these with a seal in each hand/two handing is a bug or an intended feature? It’s not game breaking by any means, but being able to jump cast with only an off hand seal would definitely be a nice quality of life change

Submit

When casting dragon claw and maw there is about half or 1 second of time during the cast where you take 30% more pierce physical damage so dragon uses beware of thrusters

Submit

Could not make a pure Dragon Communion build work, the spells simply cost too much FP and leave you too vulnerable while casting. But found some good situational uses for my arcane (primarily hemorrhage) PvE build: the high damage of these incantations are a good alternative against hardened enemies and enemies immune to bleeding. They are also decent for breaking the stance of high poise enemies for some easy crits. I still use blood build-up weapons 90% of the time though.

Submit

My mimic tear likes to use Greyoll's roar when out of range.

Submit

Can someone answer me this it’s says 14 dragon spells but only list 13 is number 14 undiscovered

Submit

free aim is the way to go my friends

if anyone has killed all the dragons that give hearts, you will have 3 left over after buying all of these
