Family Heads | Elden Ring Wiki

It doesnt do much damage, but get 38 mind, 14 cerulean flasks, 10 starlight shards, and you can make invaders straight up rage quit

Does the AoW scale with weapon level or intelligence?

Submit

I didn’t notice before but the heads are Garris’s wife and kids and the scaling at +10 is DAD

Submit

Wow! What are all those heads?

Submit

Also killed Malenia with the AoW on the first try. With mimic and at RL200, but nevertheless.

Recently I discovered this weapon by accident in my chest :). After some PvE testing I conclude it's fun to use and it works surprisingly well as a part of my Death Warrior INT/DEX build with Death Poker and Ritual Spear. Choose one of the three weapons, depending on the enemy, and have fun. From my experiments I found out that 60 INT is enough for AoW. More INT makes very little difference. At +10 the AoW works good enough for me.

Submit

This could be us

Submit

So does the AOW scale with Int only?

Submit

10.1 update will make this weapon the greatest

Submit

Pinwheel reference

Submit

AOW is a really effective for applying pressure. In my pure dexterity build (with only 16 intelligence to equip this weapon), I use it in my right hand to cast AOW and also for running attacks. In my left hand, I wield a quick weapon such as a straight sword, thrusting sword, or cold stone club with "cragblade." Additionally, you can shoot bolts of Gransax for a follow-up attack, creating a sort of dexterity magic.

I'm powerstancing these with the Bastard's Stars to hear that nice clink and that handsome clonk for each step I take.

Submit

Cute. At +10 the scaling spells "DAD".

Submit

So I’ve compared this weapons ash of war with the ancient death rancors and this weapon dishes out way more dps than the rancors call spells only downside is that ur stuck casting the spell for longer both the spell and the ash of war can be buffed with magic boosting talismans and spells

Submit

The fact that this weapon at +10 has DAD scaling is crazy good, that Must have been intentional xD

Submit

Bro butchered his family for a weapon that has an E in int scaling

Submit

When you want rancorcall but can't be asked to invest in faith

Submit

Get ready for the upcoming DLC you'll be able to powerstance this with family jewels

Submit

Welp, time to go crack open a soulstone if I can get out of Act 3

Submit

I'm furious about the terrible scaling of this weapon.

Submit

This is one of those weapons that not even people with 1000+ hours know exists.

Submit

Where my dead heads at?!

Submit

THE LEGEND NEVER DIES

Submit

did 1k per ash of war for me and carried through the godskin apostle at bottom of the caelid tower tbh

Submit

So from 16 INT to 80 INT, I gain... like, thirty damage on the weapon? Really? Why make the ash of war scaling & weapon damage scaling so different on a unique weapon?

Submit

Toretto's ultimate weapon

Submit

Dark Souls OG’s know this is a pinwheel reference.

Submit

Fun for the whole family!

Submit

A weapon for whole family to use

Submit

The way the heads jingle on this weapon in combat will really jack up the FPS of lower-opt systems, just fyi. Had to trade it for deaths poker for my newbie battlemage run

Submit

Did anybody happen to notice the jellyfish just outside of this cave at night? And knowing that jellyfish are the spirits of dead children?? Random Jellyfish location, or something more…

Submit

Using this while wearing the Twinsage Glintstone Crown and Twinned Chestpiece for maximum heads!

Submit

At first I thought it was an oversight that death themed weapons scale only with int instead of faith/int but I think FromS actually prefers it that that. I can understand that they dont want to add even more faith weapons and add some int weapons.

Submit

Necromancy spells scale with INT/FAI, this flail is INT only. Sword of Night and Flame is the ONLY Int/Fai weapon. Major design fail.

Submit

I wish the skill had a follow up attack

Submit

really wish this didn't have D int scaling, you'd think being a death sorcery weapon it'd be INT/FAI

Submit

bro killed his family for a weapon that scales E in STR

Submit

One of the most \m/ metal weapons besides the starbeast jaw.

Submit

whyyyyy not make it scale harder with int?

Submit

Been using this as my primary strike-type weapon on my dex/int char. Amazing weapon and one of my favorites in the game.
However, I noticed a strange glitch where I had it equipped and walked up to a tower railing to peer at distant scenery. The heads got "caught" in the railing and began jiggling violently. After this my frame rate dropped hugely and actually froze for a second. Thought it had crashed. Be mindful of where you equip this otherwise, god tier weapon.

Submit

Should've been int/fth weapon. AoW is basically a death sorcery

Submit

We already have an int flail, this should've been an int/fth weapon with madness buildup on the ash of war. If this isn't a madness weapon, nothing is lol

Submit

Does the Familial Rancor damage scale with Int?

Submit

Pinwheel reference?

Submit

This should have been flavored as a madness weapon, change my mind.

Submit

Don't be dumb like me and try this on a strength build because the strength scaling is terrible.

Submit

can't a necromancer raise a family in peace?

Submit

So the weapon art hits like an actual truck, and doesn’t seem to take any stamina whatsoever to cast, letting you just hammer an enemy with a constant stream

Submit

really easy fight to get this weapon: cloth wearing human npc

Submit

Look Chosen Undead, I turned myself into a flail, I'm Flail Pinwheel!

Submit

gross

Submit

Ahh, you were by my side all along.....my guiding heads

Submit

The weapon art is incredible on my Int/dex build

Submit

Even at only weapon level + 7, I find this weapon scales a lot better early on compared to the rancor sorceries, even using a +10 staff that boosts death spells and using the ancient death rancor doesn't deal nearly as much. With the weapon art I can actually kill things in a reasonable amount of time. This is at mid-game 30-ish int and faith with 24 dex on both tests. I will definitely test again with higher stats and full upgrades to see how they compare.

Submit

Looks great with the Royal Remains set.

Submit

Family Heads, the best looking flail in the game!

Submit

Pinwheel Reference ?

Submit

pinwheel flail

Submit

Familial Rancor scales with both DEX and INT. Keep this in mind. It is yet to be seen if the skill evolves into the same used by Necromancer Garris when the weapon reaches higher levels. (skull spirits + physical skull creatures summoned). So far I only leveled it up until +5.

Submit

OMG I was looking for weapons for my necromancer build and this just pop up here I need this weapon asap
