Dragon Communion Seal is a Sacred Seal in Elden Ring. The Dragon Communion Seal scales primarily with Faith and Arcane, and is a good Weapon for casters that focus on Dragon Communion Incantations.
Formless drakeblood seal with a dragon communion crest.
Enhances Dragon Communion incantations.
The sacrificial devouring of the heart gives power.
Indeed, Dragon Communion is too primal in nature for the term
"incantation" to be appropriate.
This seal scales incantations with one's arcane attribute.
Where to Find Dragon Communion Seal in Elden Ring
The Dragon Communion Seal weapon can be found at the following location:
- Can be found at Fringefolk Hero's Grave, right under the beginning of the game. To get there, use two Stonesword Keys on the double Imp Keystone next to the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace, and progress down the tunnel with the mechanized chariot until the path splits and you can go either up or down. Go up until you reach the end of the tunnel, and inside the small room is a Banished Knight that once killed will give you the item. [Interactive Map Link]

Ran this in my off-hand on a recent run, focusing on the Albinauric Staff (because why not?) Set myself up for Thorn sorceries, which also opened ADR. 35/25/45 In/Faith/Arc was one hell of a thin stat spread, but it ended up working decently well. Access to a huge variety of spells, including most Dragon Communion and Madness incantations, without sacrificing too much spell scaling. Would definitely recommend.

It's the only seal worth it for a "spell"blade (RoB, Eleonoras, etc.) bleed build (like dragon incants, blood boon, swarm of flies, etc.). Like there is _no_ other viable choice if you go for ARC/FTH softcaps and want to proc bleed and use dragon incants.
- Anonymous
I guess they have changed the scaling. The softcap for inc scaling is at 43faith / 43 arcane (not 30 / 45).

I'm a bit new to Elden Ring and ran Dragon Communion Seal from the beginning. Arcane Scaling was always an interesting side-grade that's extremely rare for spells because there are not many that have Poison/Bleeding/Madness (no sleep spells so far) and even fewer catalyst weapons can scale with arcane, and I've been trying to dig around for a while. There is a data sheet covering spell information so I'm trying to go off of that.
From digging around the Arcane Scaling for the Dragon Communion seal at its maximum of .45, I think the scaling is 2.25 but was nerfed to 20% of its maximum, that means status effects are multiplied by 1.45x when using 10+ Dragon Communion with 99 Arcane, I think 80 Arcane is around a 1.4x multiplier.
Seems like Swarm of Flies works on a 70-base hemorrhage that is influenced by scaling with a 4-hemorrhage tick, with 10 ticks per second for two seconds. So at maximum, it's going to be 181 hemorrhage. The change this makes is around 31 Hemorrhage (150 Hemorrhage).
Another Incant would be Poison Mist which ticks 20 Poison, 5 ticks per sec for 16 seconds. With scaling you get 29 poison for a maximum of 2320 poison (compared to 1600 poison)
I wish they expanded on spells having more synergy with arcane, like Poison Armament (which could be 70 --> 101.5), or decreased the penalty of status effect scaling by 25% or 30%. By the way, if anything from above is incorrect please correct me, I would love to know more about this prehistoric playstyle.

I noticed a funny thing in a characther that I have. In him I use Blood and both dragon Cult and communion incantations, but casting Dragon Cult incantations with Gravel rock Seal wasn't doing so much damage, but every time i canalized them with Dragon Communion Seal with Gravel rock Seal in the other hand just for the buff, I was doing way more damage
- Anonymous
at 30fth and 45 arc out scales any other seal with the same stat investment (65 faith) this having 320 and the best faith scaling seal after 60 erdtree having just 293. That combined with how good the arc incants are for pve i recommend you use this seal if you are doing a incant only run.
this is the best buffing seal if you don't have enough faith for the finger seal
you can get it at the hero's grave in the stranded graveyard from the banished knight

With 80 Arc and 30 Faith, use Bayle's Tyranny under some poor dragon's... belly. This thing melts big bosses

Scaling isn't correct, currently have 80 Faith 70 Arc at +10 and am getting 378 scaling
does this affect bleed buildup on the bloodflame blade weapon buff?
- Anonymous
I think the biggest strength of this seal is being able to cast spells on an 80 Arcane build with minimal Faith investment, while still having good scaling and a decent range of damaging spells to cast. Like, you can get to 12 Faith and the Seal still has a scaling of 312, and you can cast things like Bestial Sling, Catch Flame, Swarm of Flies, Pest Threads, Bestial Vitality, and the new Bayle's Incantations if you are feeling a bit spicy. Strength has something similar with the Clawmark Seal, but it's way worse since it weights 1.5 units and has a much lower damage cap when only investing into Strength with minimal Faith, making it more of a Hybrid catalyst that you need to build around rather than something to just slap onto your build basically for free.

if any one wonders at 80 arcane with 30 faith you would have more Incant Scaling then Erdtree seal with 80 faith
- Anonymous
Great for players looking to light roll who are also interested in applying low-level faith buffs. 0 weight is fantastic.

Seal is kind of OP. Since it scales much more with Arc you'll want to level that skill up further than faith. Currently doing a dragon communion playthrough and as much as I hate to be cliche, it is tearing through bosses with ease (base game at least, haven't made it to the DLC yet with this build).

Controversial take: In my opinion, seals (or staves for that matter) that have a non-Faith (/Int.) scaling, should make the requirements of the spells change to said stat, e.g this seal here would make Scarlet Aeonia require 35 Arcane; and yes, i do mean -only 35 Arcane, which is another problem entirely. This game is nauseatingly fond of dual+ stat scalings, from this talisman, to most melee weapons being quality (str+dex) scaled, irrespective of them also scaling Int/fth/arc to boot.
That might be fine-ish (still a bad move imho) for some builds, the ones requiring less stat spread thus less stat investment altogether (looking at Bonk builds, yes, two stats main stats (Str = Vig), secondary investment in endurance, depending on player's choice of weapon/shield & armor), & maybe some minor investment in Mind (because swinging a weapon for some reason costs FP ... yup; same logic as the tangentially related to stat spread fact that spellcasting requires stamina ... because... reasons- Make casters roll-dodge without using stamina at all then, Mr. Zaki! "balance" is the goal here, right? ... right? ;P ).
Exceptions being reserved for the likes of the Golden Order Seal of course, this, along with a bunch of incantations (as well as some melee weapons, e.g the SoNaF) are very apparently made as a kind of multiple run build tool (ng7) & are actually supposed to make farming still relevant in higher game cycles.
Maybe another exception would've been a seal/staff that would've actually scaled with Dex (for the Sorcery/Incantation Scaling itself), since apparently that stat is already important to caster builds(?) - personally, i failed to see any noticeable difference in casting speed, testing different spells at base dex 10 -Wretch class start- to Dex 70 (the cap for casting speed apparently).
- Anonymous
Might be a dumb question but does the buildup also get softcapped at 45 arc or is it only incant scaling?

If I cast rotten breath with this Seal, does It deal more rot since I have High arcane?

Just tested this seal scaling and this article has some weird info. Most efficient statspread is 43 in both and then calling it quits, if you really want to keep putting Arcane points.
This seal has softcaps for both Faith and Arcane in 30 in each stat and hardcaps at in each stat 43. it scales primarely with Arcane, but that said its scaling for Faith till hardcap is better than Arcane post Hardcap, so if you're sitting at 30 Faith 43 Arcane you will get more scaling by leveling Faith to 43 than going further into Arcane.
Most efficient statspread is 43 in both and then calling it quits. If you really want, you can keep putting points into Arcane past 43 as it gives you 1 extra scaling per Arcane, but the return is low. Faith is just not worth it post 43, as it takes 2-3 Faith points post 43 to gain 1 scaling.

Weirdly, this thing with 25 faith and 70 arcane is stronger than just 90 faith and erdtree seal for casting o, flame, lightning bolt, etc.

Does this seal improve the bleed built up when use to cast Bloodflame Blade ?
Is it useful to put some points into Arcane with a heavy infused weapon with native bleed (great star for example) buffed with Bloodflame blade with this seal ?

seen a comment on another page saying the poison armament spell's build up scales with the Ripple Blade & Crescent Ripple Halberd's arcane scaling and now im seeing here that this seal also scales poison armament's build up as well, based on this seals own arcane stat. So now i have to ask, does using this seal while casting spell buffs on the Ripple Blade double boost the build up you get? if so does anyone know any exact numbers in terms of the highest possible build up? i think it would be helpful for comparisons-sake.

These are affected by cast speed. The only way that the named breaths aren't is by jumping before activating. Dragonclaw, magma breath/theodorix magma follow up is also not impacted by cast speed but the initial attack is.

Feels like the DLC will give us pyromancy fit to use with this seal thanks to Messmer. Seeing the subtle hints such as their eye, their seal and them wielding fire, can’t wait to see what new incantations we get to play with. or who knows, we might just get a whole new seal as well.

45 faith/45 arc, dragon communion seal +10 has 336 incant scaling.
Now what if you take 15 points from faith and put them into arc?
30 faith/60 arc, dragon communion seal +10 has 333 incantanation scaling.
So it is actually slightly better at 45/45, however the difference is very small. Going for 30/60 will let you have more damage and bleed buildup with arcane weapons.

Isn't the flame of Messmer really similar to this one? Maybe it's just me but if you look, he has drake eyes and similar armor than the drake armor, which could lead us to think both the set and this item are inspired after him?

Taken from the chart "ER - Scaling Data (App Ver. 1.10.0)"
Dragon communion seal (and albanauric staff) gain additional scaling towards poison, bleed, sleep, and madness.
According to the graph, at 45 arcane the bonus is 15% (percentage of the scaling).

Would be really cool if this had that minor flame breath spell that the Banished Knights use as a skill. Would be a cool finishing touch for heavy builds, and the fact that it's weightless would be a great boon given how chunky the Banished Knight set is.
- Anonymous
- Anonymous
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how ridiculously cheap this thing is to upgrade? Just in case we didn't have enough reasons to love it.
The other thing I love about it: you don't even need to fight the Banished Knight in the hero's grave for it. If the chariot is still alive, you can just aggro him with whatever and, in the time it takes him to stand up and come after you, you can run out of his melee range and back down to the last alcove you passed on the way to him. He'll do the default Banished Knight thing of walking slowly toward you with his shield up, which will all but guarantee he'll still be walking down the chariot's path when the chariot returns. It'll run him over once, turn around, and run him over again before he gets up from the first hit (which will kill him even if he was at full health to start with). All you have to do is make doubly sure you don't get killed by anything on your way to pick up the seal.
Most stat efficient seal in the game, especially when combo'd with the Silver Tear Mask (rip fashion). Gets 318 Incant Scaling at 30 Faith, 37 Arcane (+8 from Silver Tear Mask to get to 45), which can be achieved at only level 48 on a Prophet. To exceed that with Erdtree Seal you need 72 Faith, which requires a minimum of level 63 on a Prophet, so 15 levels higher. To exceed it with Golden Order Seal you need 41/40 or 40/41 Int/Faith, which requires a minimum of level 64 on an Astrologer, so 16 levels higher.
Is it the best seal in the game if you want to do absolute maximum damage? No, but it gives insane amounts of power much earlier than any other seal, by way of it being available right at the start of the game, being flat out the most stat-efficient seal, and also being a Somber Stone item. Also if you're using Dragon Incants it has an effective Incant Scaling of around 366, which would take literally 99 Faith to exceed with Erdtree Seal. Dragon Incants also have the massive advantage of now being able to leverage Roar Medallion, which is 10% extra damage very, very early in the game that beats out even Flock's Canvas Talisman for raw damage, though using both is probably the best option for dragon builds.
You can get a +5 Seal very early by rushing to Iji by skipping Stormveil, and using the teleporter to the right of Academy Gate town which should take you to right in front of Kingsrealm Ruins where Iji is right behind. You can simply buy Somber Stones 1,2,3, and 4 from him. The 5th can be found in the canyon to the right of the exit of Sellia Crystal Tunnel, so also accessible very early. Marika's Scarseal is also available quite early in Siofra which is just down the well in Mistwood. If you kill Greyoll, level 35 is also available to you. In probably under 30-40 minutes you can have 20 Vigor, 17 Mind, 20 Faith, and 30 Arcane with a +5 Seal, and a Roar Medallion. With the 197 Incant Scaling,Roar Medallion, and Flame Grant Me Strength (also available early by just riding Torrent there), Dragonfire did 1,935 damage to the Secluded Cell Troll, with Catch Flame dealing 435 damage. Those numbers are just flat out unbeatable for every other seal that early in the game.

For arcane builds, a smattering of 15 or so faith gives you pocket nukes for anything that doesn't bleed. The scaling on this seal is so absolutely bonkers that for 90% of the game it will outperform any other seal at the same pure faith/upgrade level; just grab the dragon breath du jour and go to town. Or have access to two of the best fire spells (catch flame and hurl flame) and a suite of buffs along with all the beast spells which will be massively stronger than using the clawmark seal.

The absolute best utility seal in the game. I always start as a wretch, so no need to fear the requirements. Get 12 faith and boom! Several important utility spels for 0 weight on any class
is this worth running on a build with 12 faith and 11 arcane? I'm using a blood flame blade and poisonous mist. will it make them better?

At 50 INT, 50 FAITH & 50 ARCANE, "Dragon Communion Seal" has Incant Scaling of 343, beaten by only 2 points by "Golden Order Seal" Incant Scaling of 345 at the same stats.
At 50 INT, 50 FAITH & 99 ARCANE (should you want max passive item discovery), "Dragon Communion Seal" has Incant Scaling of 394. This beats "Golden Order Seal" Incant Scaling of 345 at the same stats.
At 80 INT, 80 FAITH & 99 ARCANE, "Dragon Communion Seal" has Incant Scaling of 407. This beats "Golden Order Seal" Incant Scaling of 390 at the same stats.
At 99 INT, 99 FAITH & 99 ARCANE, "Dragon Communion Seal" has Incant Scaling of 415 being beaten by only 3 points by the "Golden Order Seal" Incant Scaling of 418!
In conclusion, I kinda prefer the Dragon Seal actually. It buffs the far more useful and cool dragon communion incantations, plus, with stats in ARC, you get extra bleed/poison on stuff too.

I want to try Morgott's Cursed Sword and this for a spell-bladeish build. Using primarily Bloodboon and Bloodflame Talons so as to keep faith low and investing in arcane up to 60 for Morgott's sword scaling, and 40 dex for casting speed and damage, how would it perform?

I'm looking to make a light equip build but it is not a spellcaster build. More like a scythe-wielding rogue build. Is this a suitable seal for cures, defense buffs and weapon buffs? I currently have finger seal equipped, but I happen to have this one and it's weightless, and I meet the requirements to use it (started as a wretch). As a sidenote, I'm mostly a pver who enjoys helping in coop, if that matters.

Putting aside Dragon incantations for a sec, I’m glad this seal exists since it gives damage (but not heal) incantation access to pure Arcane builds whose primary weapon is either Bloody Helice or an Occult-infused weapon. Bloody Helice in one hand, fireballs (or lightning, or those actual blood incantations of mohg) in the other. One way to round out the pierce damage of Bloody Helice (instead of carrying a hammer or flail, which isn’t very graceful).

Reading this page has made me even more confused on whether or not this seal increases status buildup of spells. When the game came out it did and it was a very noticeable amount. Did the status buildup increase from arcane only get reduced or removed completely?
The actual soft cap for this seal is 30 Faith and 45 Arcane.
For Arcane scaling you will get 3 Incant Scaling points until 45 Arcane. Then only 1 point each level.
For faith scaling you will get 2.50 Incant Scaling points until 30. Then 1.2 point until 45 Faith. And after that 1 point every 2 or 3 levels.
So from 30 Faith to 45 Faith (15 Levels) you will get only 18 Incant Scaling points which it's wasteful, better to invest them into mind or vigor or anything else.

"other Arcane scaling weapons the player migth use" noticed a spelling error, its in the 'notes & tips' section if anyone plans to fix it^^
- Anonymous
Article claims:
"This seal's scaling with Arcane also means it increases the Bloodloss, Scarlret Rot, Poison and Madness build up of incantations cast."
Ignoring the spelling error on Scarlet Rot are we certain Scarlet Rot build up is enhanced by Arcane? Because it contradicts the Info on the Arcane page, which only mentions blood, poison, madness and sleep for Arcane. Also all the Scarlet Rot incantations like the dragon ones and Scarlet Aeonia have fixed build up values on their respective wiki sites, which is unusual if the build up is supposed to be dependent on your Arcane level and not fixed at all.
I believe the error is on this page. Arcane doesnt influence Scarlet Rot build up on weapons like the Antspur Rapier (when given Arcane Scaling) or Arcane scaling Weapons buffed with Rot Grease. So why would it influence incantations only?

Although it procs madness faster, that 40% damage buff that two Frenzy Flame seals give is actually way more valuable to pure madness casters. I’m talking like 1200 vs 800 damage.

When I hold one of these in each hand, is the incantation additive or multiplicative? Meaning is it 15% + 15% = 30%, or 1.15*1.15 = 32.25%, bonus to the Dragon incants?

It wrote: " At 74 faith and above primarily faith scaling seals (Erdtree Seal and Godslayer's Seal) outperform this seal at the same level of stat investment (39/45 Fai/Arc for the Dragon Communion Seal) "
But 39+45=84, not 74

I don't know why this Wiki says Radagon's Icon doesn't effect Dragon Communion spells but it absolutely does. It just doesn't effect the initial start up of the spell. It effects the second casting of it. While i wouldn't say it nearly as effective as id like the statement it doesn't work is still false.
i've found it's useful just because of the fact that it weighs 0. i used it to apply bloodflame to a GUGS and, when combined with armor, i didn't have enough weight for a seal without fat rolling. went through, got this and giant hunt, now i'm easily one-shotting everything.

"Will increase the buildup of Status Effects that spells cause, like madness for Frenzied Burst."
This is incorrect! I tested Bloodflame Talons, Swarm of Flies, Bloodflame Boon, and Rotten Breath today using my own PS5 and my roommates PS5. There is NO INCREASE for status buildup on these spells when you increase arcane, so just meeting the arcane requirement, investing in faith, and using a faith only scaling seal is most efficient.

Is this worth using with only getting to 17 arcane for the dragon abilities? Or should I just use the regular one until I get to the capitol?

Best early game caster tool, even better than Meteorite Staff. Catch Flame does stupid damage with this thing

I briefly tested dual wielding these (NG+) against the Godrick Soldier patrolling the road behind the Church of Elleh, and it seems that the 15% damage boost to Dragon Communion Incantations DOES stack.
I'd urge others to test this to confirm it. If true, the same should apply to other seals/staves that boost a particular school of spells.

In case anyone wants to know like I did, dragon communion at 45/45 his 336 incant scaling

The dragon communion seal does have a softcap of sort at 30 faith, investment above that level will yield only a little more than 1 incant scaling per level, it's not worth it. If you go 45 fth 45 arc you might as well use the erdtree seal with 80 fth (same investment), it will be more powerful (unless you already have investments in arcane for the spell requirments, I guess). For the dragon communion seal you should stop at 30 fth 45 arc and invest your remaining points in vigor endurance mind. You can always use the faith talisman and the faith-boosting tear to get your faith to 45 temporarily for when you want just a little bit more damage.

Has 0 weight and can be obtained without killing any enemy yourself (you can lure the knight holding it into the chariot). So you can, technically, finish the game at 0 weight and only ever using dragon incantations.

"Brings character way above PvP meta levels" Who tf cares? This is a long ass, giant, open world game. This community is still acting like it's Dark Souls. People should be free to level up however much they want instead of feeling constrained to a made up meta. Especially when the PvP in this game sucks ass anyways.

Does anyone else think that this seal looks an awful lot like a cursemark?
Similarly, the description references “formless drakeblood.” Was the Formless Mother a dragon?

It kinda makes sense that this seal doesnt count Placidusax Ruin as a Dragon Communion incant, from a lore point perspective Dragonlord Placidusax never went out from the Heart of the Storm when the war broke out in Leyndell and judging from the way how Dragon Communion works, they seem to copy and imitate how lesser dragons, and even well known dragons attack so it is likely they no one ever saw him besides you and maybe a select few powerful beings.
A Sacred Seal that glows blood red, synergizes with Blood weapons, and is tied to dragons. Seeing this for the first time made me wonder if someone at FromSoft likes the things I like. Hands down my favorite Seal in the game and one of the best to boot.
