Grafted Dragon | Elden Ring Wiki

Something funny I recently saw:
If this is in your left hand and you apply a grease to your right hand, the dragon will remain visible as if you're coating the right hand weapon with a grease from the dragon. Looks kinda funny.

Submit

does this still take buffs from the offhand?

Submit

:3

Submit

Definitely power stance this with flame art first weapon of your choice. Pretty satisfying.

Submit

god I love my hand puppet. caelid putrid avatar bore witness o7

Submit

can be "powerstanced" alongside other fists, making it pretty versatile

Submit

I expected more, its so small

Submit

Yo waddap, it's Mar 02 Anon here. Did some more testing. When power stancing with other fist weapons (but not claws), the Dragon adopts the moveset of the right-hand weapon, with the exception of running attacks. You could powerstance this with Cipher Pata on a faith build, maybe do some fun things with it? Anyway, that's all.

Submit

GNAAAAA!!!
and so, he is returned!
the darksouls goat dragon shalth live onnnn!

Time to cosplay Blacker Baron.

Submit

Just discovered something goofy. When paired with a stabbing fist weapon (like Katar or Veterans Prosthetic) it gains slicing sound effects. Also lets you do the stabbing jump attack, and the fist running attack. Weird.

Submit

At least the ash has hyperarmor, thats more than a lot of the bad ashes have.

Submit

the ONE thing that I found interesting and super unique with this weapon is since its ash of war overwrites the right-handed weapons ash, this can be used in the left hand with the jellyfish shield in the right hand. 2hand the jellyfish shield in the right hand and use the buff, and when you swap back to 1handing, you will be able to use the ash of war of the Grafted Dragon. To my knowledge, this is the only weapon that you can use the ash of war while buffed with the Jellyfish Shield.

If you wanna know why godricks family hates him it's cause they found this in his sock drawer next to a bottle of lotion

Submit

this is a hand puppet

Submit

Does this cast miracles/pyromancies? Be a shame if a dragon head that scales with faith can't do that.

Submit

I feel like this should be occult or something

What we expected: Launching trash mobs into space with a giant dragon head
What we got: Stake Driver 2.0

Mind you, that is in no way a complaint.
Landing the finishing blow on large bosses with the weapon art is godly.

Submit

I liked this weapon in PVE. All the fireballs hit large targets, so it deals good dmg.

Submit

The ash on this thing is like having a fist crit without a fist animation. Very fun in invasions to quickly start casting it after ducking a corner or using something flashier. Bear witness mofo.. only hits every so often(like 1/3-1/2 the time) but so worth it when it does

Submit

Can you powerstance two of these to get the double fist moveset?

Submit

Ancient wisdom, arcane art, martial prowess that will stop your heart, epic power, discipline, NUCLEAR MOVES THAT WILL ALWAYS WIN!

Submit

I don't know if it would work with an optimised build in mind or if the attribute investment would be spread too thin to get the most out of it. But I was messing about at the blood-filled lake and swarm of flies works very well for setting up an enemy to take the full hit from the uppercut as well as the fire AoE. Apparently SoF has been nerfed but the ticks still slow anything hit by it right down and leaves them very vulnerable to any number of weapon arts that can be tricky to land properly for max damage on a moving target.

Submit

Can you add effects to this like blackflame or bloodflame??

Submit

Why the **** it and magma wyrm blade have faith requirments? No other dragon weapons have it AND everything to do with dragons, like seal and incantations have arcane scaling. Is it because it has fire damage? **** it, then give torches faith scaling, i dunno... Sometimes i hate the way from makes their arsenals

Submit

Wish this was the actual dragon's head rather then a carving like thing, but its still really cool.

Submit

Disrespect of the baby man will not be tolerated

Submit

Could someone please edit the item's description to correctly state "The embodiment of the power that still remained in the dragon's head that was GRAFTED to Godrick's left arm."?

Submit

Why does Godrick call this piece of **** "truest of dragons?" Even the item description calls the dragon small. Someone introduce this man to Placidusax

Submit

The reason everyone in the game thinks grafting is a disgusting, shameful, terrible crime is because it results in equipping this.

Submit

funny hand puppet

Submit

This is more like Godefroy's version of Godrick's grafted dragon arm.

Grafted Dragon’s “Bear Witness!” Skill is buffed by right hand weapon buffs much like many other Left Hand Priority Ashes Of War like “Shield Crash” and “Golden Retaliation”

Bear Witness shines at inflicting status effects, because each tick of fire damage will inflict the status effect of your buffed right hand weapon as if you landed an actual hit.

I could see Seppuku being a busted combo but I’ve not tested it yet.
I have tested RKR and achieved over 5000 damage with other buffs.
I also tested Eclipse Shotel and it works too. However just as you need 18 hits with the shotel to inflict death, you need 18 “hits” with the grafted dragon (but this includes the fire ticks)

TLDR: Run Eclipse Shotels, Fia’s Mist, Death Lightning and this in your offhand for a real Deathblight build.
(It’d still not be good but it’d be something)

Submit

You'd think this thing would be pretty sizeable considering how comparatively big it was on Godrick and not - y'know - the smallest hitbox of all the fist weapons.

Submit

At least I can be mini Godrick

Submit

Welp, now I know what remembrance weapon I'm gonna dupe in-game. Godrick had a point, but the only thing better than one dragon hand is Two dragon hands. Anyone know if they'll powerstance?

Submit

HANS, GET ZE FLAMMENWERFER

Submit

Maybe Godrick was onto something with the grafting

Submit

When I level up strength more I'll use the grafted gs or the axe in one hand and the grafted dragon just to to spite godrick for saying i'm unfit even to be grafted

Submit

This weapon seems awesome. I only tested it at +0 against the stagecoach trolls + entourage in Limgrave, as well as gateway ruins, but I had low stats. Anyway it did really well against those enemies, far better than other +0 weapons I experimented with.

When you activate it, you plunge your first into the ground, immediately gaining hyper-armor for yourself and also creating a pool of lava that damages and stun-locks anyone on top of it (i.e. anyone in melee range in front of you).

Next, you do an uppercut that seems to do very good damage and can knock people down. I knocked down the godrick knights each time I did it.

Finally, lots of small blobs of lava get spread around a relatively large AoE, doing relatively low damage but for a good amount of time, and each proc causes the enemies to flinch. So you can fight the enemies while they're being damaged by the lava. I was able to wipe out the entourage behind the stagecoach with just a few casts of it, purely from this lava shower.

So overall this gives you hyper-armor, stun-locks and/or knocks down enemies, and does great damage. Main disadvantage is it is the only fist weapon I'm aware of that cannot be paired; you only have one of them. (Which makes sense lore-wise.)

By contrast, the Magma Wyrm Scalesword (from ruin-strewn precipice) did worse damage in a tiny area and its lava disappears after a second or two.

How to turn this sock puppet into a hand held nuke:

- Get 99 Fth
- Get Erdtree Seal +10
- Grab a pleb weapon with your favourite moveset
- Use Electrify Armament
- Go up close to something and then use this thing's WA

The damage and effects of weapon buffs on your main hand, will transfer over to the WA of Grafted Dragon (Which will take priority when held in the left hand to boot). A 99 Fth Electrify Armament cast with a +10 Erdtree Seal adds 275 flat lightning damage to a weapon. Which then gets added to each fireball and tick of the fire patches from Grafted Dragon's WA leading to insane damage (Even at only +4 GD and +4 ES I managed to hit a Putrid Avatar for 3.8k with a single WA, not accounting for the remaining fire patch damage ticks)

For something a bit "Mogh-ier" you can swap Electrify Armament for Bloodflame Blade. You lose out on the raw damage (Only 147 damage compared to 275) but get a bunch of bleed build up from each hit (Including flame patch damage ticks). Throw in Fire's Deadly Sin for more buff based shenanigans (As it too will apply Bloodflame Blade's bleed build up)

Submit

Weapon carried me through my first playthrough, this thing is great

Submit

This thing is pretty good against Crystalians

Submit

It could have long range and flex like the tai axe did in DS1, maybe be attached to your lower bicep and have sweeping moves and maybe a forward thrusting punch

Submit

I really dont like the weapon art?? It just doesn’t hit where it should, I’m gonna go back to angels wings because atleast that one can hit things

Submit

if you use this with dragonscale blade, the lightning damage and frost get added to the fire the AOW makes. its incredibly broken

Submit

this is not the dragon godrick grafted. this is a little barbecued baby dragon

Submit

As patch 1.04, its weapon art is glitched when used royal knight determination on a right hand weapon and then casting Bear Witness, it get the 80% damage bonus, its quite crazy, it might work with some other buff. Thankfully not as broken in pvp because of how long the animation is, you can easily run away from it.

Submit

**** all

Submit

It’s not a Ringed Knight shield, that’s for sure.

Submit

what a funny looking stake driver

Submit

Expected it to be bigger.
the skill is cool though

Submit

Armament effect applies to AOW because this is considered shield. Bloodflame blood loss, frozen armament frost, poison, light, holy effects on main hand will apply to AOW which makes this weapon versatile.

Submit

currently there is a bug with this weapon: it copies the weapon art of your off hand, much like the FDS of old when it was able to apply death blight and bleed passively

Submit

Meh. Not impressed so far. On the special skill, there is no hyperarmor from what I can tell, so I keep getting interrupted.

Submit

I love this rubber chicken

Submit

Does the weapon art only scale with faith?

Submit

Yeah I'm gonna use this in a joke build and call myself dragon fister

Submit

Does this weapon's skill take over the right hand skill, like a parry. If so that would be really cool and it'd be funny to juke people out. Might make it a usable weapon, considering it can't be two handed.

Submit

This thing's weapon art or whatever is really good against those red Albinaurics that roll at you with the spikes in the Mohgwyn Palace area. It starts emitting flames as soon as the animation starts, so it stops them in their tracks and staggers them until the animation completes.

Submit

Shoryuken!

Submit

wish the weapon wasnt static when not doing the weapon art. like, maybe have its tail move a little bit. It looks weird. The blasphemous sword looks really nice how it is constantly moving for instance. Just have it move a little, instead of being a statue

Submit

If you use this weapon in your left hand like Godrick did then its ash of war gets priority like a shield would, allowing you to cast it while wielding a different weapon in your right hand. This allows you to ignore the fist moveset and range limitation by using another weapon, still having this ash of war available, and still having the right-hand weapon’s ash available by two-handing.

Submit

he cute

Submit

A feel like this weapon just got the middle finger by From. I'd make it actually look like Godrick's. Make it something like a Colossal weapon or whatever would look right for the player, and still have it's weird, almost lazy, lumbering fighting style. Change it's scaling to A (str) D (dex) A or B (fth). And finally make it's weapon art deadlier with a much bigger close up explosion, and have the fireballs deal better damage. The fire on the ground is fine.

Submit

I didn’t expect it to be that small. It’s like a hand puppet, but it can launch fire into the air.

Submit

Having a lot of fun running this in my off hand for the skill and having the magma wyrm’s curved sword in the right hand, especially since I prefer the sword’s one handed moveset. Plus, this weapon is a must have for any dragon themed build

Submit

I wish we could name our weapons in-game. If we could, I would name by Grafted Dragon "Pedro the Pseudodragon", after my DnD familiar. (I'm a Pact of the Chain Warlock)

Submit

Snake hand, this sign... it's some sort of ...sign.

Submit

Sock puppets.

Submit

Using the skill for a finisher against the big enemies is ridiculously satisfying

Submit

I wished it like the one he had.

Submit

Oven mitt

Submit

I really feel like this ought to dual wield in order to be useful. Right now you're better off using any other fist weapon, and putting fire on it if that's what you really want. The convenience of one weapon slot for two hands is the only reason to use fist weapons in general, in my opinion.

Submit

This looks more like a sick crocodile rather than a dragon head. Godrick had a dragon. Nonetheless I enjoy this weapon :)

Submit

This weapon became quite good, atleast for pve, as for patch 1.04, i was trying it at my usual spot with the ice giants and chickens ,at +9 ,and it destroyed them quite fast

Submit

The AoW almost feels twice as fast after the update. Cheers for that!

Submit

got TURBO BUFFED by patch 1.04. Weapon art now has poise, and is significantly faster.

Submit

They increased the cast speed of the weapon skill but quite a fair amount, its really fun powerstancing these and fire upcutting demigods with your dragon arms

Submit

Man i wish you could add black flame as the damage output because my Hiei build would be set

Submit

this dude really got a hand puppet

Submit

Does weapon art damage scale with strength or faith?

Submit

Remembrance duplication didn't allow me to purchase a second Grafted Dragon. Something to note is that while you can't use it linked, it doesn't bounce off of (at least) medium shields or hardened enemies. Someone mentioned that the skill only scales with faith. It seems that the intended uses for this weapon ended up being less common than expected by the developers. The eruption is pretty neat, but it feels way slower than it needs to be to actually be useful.

Submit

The weapon art on this is great for taking out large bosses, because of the amount of damage it does while using low FP, also the flames doe poise damage which slows weak boss minions.

Submit

You can't two hand it, but if you want the moveset of the two-handed dragon you can get a second one(via remembrance duplication) or have another fist weapon in your offhand. Other than that it seems this wasn't really intended to be used as a main weapon, but something you switch to for it's special skill.

It's hardly what I would call a powerful weapon, but it is fun.

Submit

Caps are at 80 str and 50 dex/faith

Submit

Kinda sad that such a cool looking weapon is so painfully average, well must be because the dragon is uncomfortable with your fingers up it's but hole.

Submit

Well.... This may be the lamest boss weapon in the game. Not only does it look absolutely nothing like the one Godrick uses, and I truly do mean NOTHING like it, but you also can't even Two-Hand it like you can every other fist weapon in the game.

Seriously, if I had to pick between this, or runes, I'd take the runes and then jump off a cliff.

Submit

One niche this weapon has because it shares the same weapon art priority as shields, you can two-hand a jellyfish shield in the right hand and use its AR boosting weapon art, un-two hand it and use the weapon art of this in the left hand. The only other weapons capable of this is the steel-wire torch and other shields which can't really make much effective use out of this. Stacked this with Flame Grant Me Strength, Golden Vow, Flame-Shrouding Tear, Strength Knot Tear, Flame Scorpion Talisman and Shard of Alexander. Hit the rot dragon for over 10,000 damage and Melania for around 4,000 at at 50 STR after the strength knot and 40 FTH unboosted with Bear Witness. Absolutely melts big bodies and still hits average-size enemies hard even if all of the fire balls don't connect. If someone in PVP is dumb enough to git hit by this, it will one-shot them several times over. It helps that you look like an absolute idiot with this setup, seems to bait people into itself.

Submit

Dude... when I first time went to see what i can get for rememberance and saw this I was so hyped that I can graft ****ING DRAGON HEAD to my arm, then I equipped it and... turned out it's size of ****ing toy car like wtf?! Why it's not in regular size of dragon's head? If it was, the fact that you can't dual wield it would make sense but in currrent state being so small there is no reason for it to not be able to. I hope they cahnge it in future updates and actually make it what it should be fom start, BIG ASS DRAGON HEAD

Submit

I don't understand how this thing just spews fire, which is clearly faith, yet strength gets a C scaling and faith is stuck at D. Those should be reversed at minimum

Submit

limited by one per NG even doubling Godrick's memory, this is extremely disappointing, why?

Submit

I GRAFTED GODRICK TO MY BODY

Submit

The art is a bit slow for my liking but holy s* is it cool

Submit

If you go to NG+, can you get a 2nd one and dual-wield them?

Submit

Was anyone else expecting it to be at least proportionally the same size as Godrick's? Just like every other boss weapon.

Submit

Is Grafted dragon considered a breath attack damage type weapon?
