Greyoll's Roar | Elden Ring Wiki

I don't think you can dodge/roll through this, but you can block it.

Is it worth equipping this on a Pure Faith build and with 60 Faith only the required 17 Arcane?

Submit

I wish the requirements were inverted lol

This+roar talisman+ flock canvas+ dragon seal= a lot of F—king damage

I killed Greyoll but the spell didn't unlock.

If they add her incantation already in the base game does this mean there will be no dlc questline for her? Sadge

If someone is chasing you down with fists, doing the hyper aggressive playstyle with bloodflame blade, you know. Create some distance, they assume you're panicking and give chase, and once you learn how to time it right, you'll catch these guys with greyoll's roar every time. Radagon icon helps. Turn their aggression against them.

Submit

GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Submit

The best thing about this spell is that if it's timed right, you can get hit out of it but the spell's hitbox still activates meaning you scream for a split second before being hit out of it but the enemy still gets knocked back.

Submit

Actually really good in co-op, especially since the +damage dealt stacks with frostbite

Endure + this = ds3 poisecasting wrath of the gods.

Ngl the fact that Eleonora has Greyoll's Roar pisses me off more than it should. How tf does she have it? She didn't kill Greyoll and the fact that some npc has a legendary spell doesn't make it feel like an actual legendary spell. Same with Agheel's flame. She should've had dragonclaw, dragonmaw, and like dragonfire or something.

Submit

I can purchase this without beating greyoll, just ekzykes and going to the church after.

Submit

Love this incant in PvE, though in the colosseums and invasions it's viability can feel hit and miss. On one hand it hits like a truck and the debuff effect is awesome, on the other it's pretty easy to punish during the wind-up or if your opponent rolls through it/is just out of range.

Submit

As someone who dumped 81 Arcane for farming purposes and to make PvE a bit more difficult (by using stuff that doesn't benefit from arcane) since I am overleveled for the ng I am in, having this skill as an optional opener for bossfights or to quickly dispose of zerg enemies is really nice. But the application to PvP seems almost unfair in that context. Using it to even the playing field with people and their usual tactics/optimized builds was the initial intention, but honestly this hits WAY harder than you'd expect even with just one Dragon communion seal on +10. Like most of the times if it is buffed with Golden Vow beforehand this makes 50-70% of damage to people's health pool especially if you catch someone jumping towards you with it AND it reduces both their offensive and defensive capabilities for a time.

Considering how getting invaded is the most profitable way for me to make runes right now this has been always slotted in alongside some other incantations and if you delve deep into arcane I would recommend using it for the debuff alongside your other skills and to surprise would be invaders. It's also a great tool to learn stuff by surviving more and more mistakes. Give this a real go, you won't regret it.

Say ahh.

holy **** they added GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A good way to view this, is as a physical Wrath of gold. Well it cost 2 slots to use it, it's damage is good, it de-buffs, knocks enemies back, and gets a damage boost from the dragon communion seal. Pretty good in my opinion

I like to use this as crowd control against smaller enemies. I'll be interested to see if the roar medallion is worth the talisman slot between this and agheel's flame, when I mostly use dragonmaw/claw.

OK, is everyone talking pvp? because PvE this has been absolutely shite. I regret wasting the hearts in it, I've got 35 faith and +12 God seal and it does like 2-300 dmg, sure the debuff is nice, but 3 hearts, 2 slots and a whole blue bar nice? not by a ****ing mile. turned my dragon communion build into a straight faith build real fking quick

Submit

Highly useful and rewarding in PVP and PVP with some nuance. Spamming it will just leave you wide open for anyone with projectiles available, however. Choose your moments wisely.

THIS IS DRAGON ROAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

TFW it gets interrupted by ****ing rats

Submit

Does this count as a roar attack as well as a dragon communion spell? Wondering if it can be buffed with things like the roar medallion as well as the dragon communion seal.

Submit

Pretty mediocre in PvP from my experience. Does good damage if it hits but it takes so long to recover from they're already healed back up by the time it's over. Also if they roll through it you're definitely getting backstabbed.

Submit

To answer the question of the comment after the one below me, because for whatever reason I’ve noticed you can’t reply to comments anymore. That entirely depends on what your sacred seal scales off of. Spells themselves don’t scale off of any specific attribute, they just have attribute requirements.

Submit

Defence debuff stacks with frost. And it deals pure phys damage, not magical.

Submit

What does it scale with more? Faith or Arcane?

Submit

Dies the roar have to connect to have the debuff applied or does it have a larger AOE?

Submit

an interesting but niche interaction: the debuff effects shows on invisible black knife assassins.

Submit

i cant even tell if the debuff works because i keep onseshotting people with this lol

Submit

Didnt expect it to THAT much damage

Submit

Another op 1 shot kill pvp spell. What fun.

Submit

Considering this has the highest faith requirement of any dragon incantation, 13 faith is really all you need for an arcane build. Two fingers talisman+faith knot tear puts you at 28 exactly.

Submit

Is there any point even bothering to try using this on Malenia? I need something to take the edge off her, is she immune to the debuff from this or acid spraymist?

Submit

"defense shred debuff" which lowers enemy's defense by 10% while lowers your own defense for 20% (by raising enemy's attack). yea right, seems legit.

Submit

This is as good as wrath of gold in saying get off me

Submit

Stack 2 buff can deal 1700~2000 dmg, and stack 3 buff can oneshot anyone in pvp

Hitbox from behind seems buggy as of late, I used to be able to hit things from every angle at a certain distance but nowadays it doesn't seem to do it anymore.

Submit

Equip a dagger or something with endure before you cast this and youll be able to take a hit without being interrupted easily, my main weapon is the magma wyrms scaleblade because im a full dragon build and i got raptor claws as my other main hand with endure on it, it really helps when casting this when being grouped on

Submit

I really, REALLY want to like this incant, but the thing is, right: you can hit people with this and they can STILL PUNISH YOU. I'm not even kidding, I've hit other players point blank, they get up and punish me with a full weapon art. Sucks to outplay your opponent with this slow-starting move only to get hit for more than you dealt

Submit

I killed her, went to the Cathedral, and... nothing, it doesn't show up in the shop.

Submit

This is unbelievably good at dealing with those annoying AFKers who send out a duelist call and then deliberately run & hide their character in locations you generally can't reach/get to. Either because there's only room for one and you'll fall to your death bouncing off them, or there's so little room they can hit you with Regression/Wrath of Gold and still knock you off their hiding spot to your death before you ever get a chance to attack. The AOE of the roar seems to bypass most walls (much like the massive zero damage invisible AOE explosion Mohg's & Morgitt's Shackles do) within a short distance from you and can easily knock many of these players off the ledges they're hiding on. Especially at First Step or at Liurnia. The only other one that comes close in my experience is the Cannon sorcery. Also works rather well if you think there's an enemy hiding around a corner or above you (those damn Imps in the dungeons/catacombs for example) as you get in a free hit, they get debuffed, and its just enough of a stagger for you to run back to get more room to cast or get into a position to melee attack while they're staggered. Just remember, its AOE. So if anything else is hiding, you likely just ticked off the entire group. There's at least one dungeon where I managed to wake up four imps all at the same time in the same room and got stunlock juggled to death.

Submit

This is going to fit well in my dragonborn build

Submit

This is easily one of my favorite incants. It casts almost as fast as Earthshaker Ashes and variants, does at least as much damage, and adds a debuff. All that's necessary is to make yourself some breathing room. I've run this consistently in many big boss fights since NG and it can seriously help, especially with armor tank bosses like Radahan or HP tanks like Elden Beast. For extra shenanigans, stack it with Frostbite and swing for the fences.

Submit

Question, does this stack with Shriek of Milos, Frostbite, and Acid Spraymist?

Submit

Really good in PvP, i'm a weak dragon lady so anyone will 1-2 shot me and they know that, so I spam breath from afar to get them into the mindset that i am a brainless idiot dragon and then fake them out with the roar, works everytime (except for if they have BHS) and you can usually follow up with a breath or Dragonclaw, Crucible: Tail, or Honed Bolt to finish them off, its really fun and I usually hate PvP in these games

Submit

Use this with Young Voice 1 and you'll feel biblically powerful as you scream.

Submit

The debuff adds a visual indicator on the invisible Black Flame Assassin in Sage's Cave

Submit

Remember to go to the CAELID Dragon Communion place, not the one in Limgrave.

Submit

On xbox I defeated the dragon, went to the cathedral and it never showed up for purchase. Anyone else have this problem

Submit

Does the debuff apply when you do damage to the enemy or is the debuff range bigger then the damage range?

Submit

This does physical damage. It can be boosted by the bloodboil aromatic which increases physical damage.

Submit

Never knew this dealt damage, I thought it was only a wide AoE debuff. It was surprising to be killed by a dragon shout when I'm not even playing Skyrim lol

Submit

Why can't I find his spell in the dragon communion church even though I killed greyoll? I have completed the game twice and I have enough hearts

Submit

If anyone is having the trouble of not having it unlocked after already killing greyoll, remember that there is another dragon comunion selling point in west/ east Caelid. Probably a dumb answer, but it’s not very clear from this entry.

Submit

imagine rushing in for a finish only to be hit by a greyolls roar and getting pounded into the ****ing ground by dragon lightning

Submit

Defence debuff stacks with frostbite. This and dragonice are a nasty combo

Submit

I've been PvPing for a bit and I've fallen for this spell twice now, and I've gotta say: It's pretty damn good. The whole point of this spell in PvP is to make people think you're using another Dragon Incantation, so they run to punish you but then get insta-killed by the near instant AoE which does like 1000 damage.

Submit

Does this stack with black flames protection?

Submit

I was so hyped up to buy this spell, turns out it's ****ing trash, i'm behind disapointing. In a game where everything hits you quickly you can't cast this ****.

Submit

Since I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere, this does pure physical damage. Consequence of this is that it can be boosted by the Blue Dancer’s Charm, and can be blocked by high guard boost shields in PVP.

Submit

In pvp everyone thinks you are casting a breath attacks and rushes into the aoe and dies. its so funny and it deals around 800-1000 dmg in pvp with 50 arcane, 30 faith and 10+ dragon seal. Decent in pve if you have faster cast time, the debuff helps alot too.

Submit

Does the damage debuff stack with Acid Spraymist?

Submit

Sadly, they wasted an opportunity for a cool incant in PVE and PVP, it should have bien not only a debuff put a temporary boost giving the caster and the allies red eyes.

ER lacks buff incant IMO.

Submit

I assume the mother of all dragons thing is only about nu dragons. In another description it differentiates the ancient dragons(red lightning ones) from "mortal dragons". Ancient dragons also don't drop hearts and their spells aren't effected by normal dragon spell buffs. I think these dragons came later.

Submit

This spell's cast speed IS improved by DeX and Radagons Talisman.

Submit

Turns out this is an excellent PvP spell for a dragon communion caster. You can use it as a devastating mix-up, because the start up looks verrrrrrry similar to the other kinds of dragon breath. Pop this danger close, posing as a panic dragon breath, and watch the enemy run right into the blast.

Submit

Seems to be bugged, defeated the dragon, went through several waypoints, even let some time pass ... still no incantation available at the cathedral, same for the church ...
Any thoughts? Last missing one for the achievement :(

Submit

Felt bad killing the mother dragon.

Submit

This apparently counts as a legendary incantation for the Legendary Sorceries and Incantations achievement, I finally purchased it from the Cathedral of Dragon Communion after exploring most of the game leading up to acquiring the flame on the Mountaintops (ie:I have a ton of other sorceries and incantations at this point) and the achievement just popped

Submit

This is actually really useful in PvP, while it isnt a multihit the duration of the roar actually makes the attack un-rollable. Not to mention as an invader you always need moves to get folks off you these days lol

Submit

Does the debuff only take affect when enemies are hit by the roar or is there a range you could be in to debuff enemies

Submit

Has anyone tried this incantation against dragon bosses/enemies? I wonder if theres any special interactions.

Submit

This is one of the best dragon incantations in the game imo, up there with Rotten Breath and Dragonice (I prefer these over the more expensive counterparts due to better control and similar damage).

The debuff is useful but not really the selling point for me, it's fairly minimal imo unless you stack debuffs. The real selling point is the damage and deceptive range. I first experienced it against Eleonora spamming this when I got too close, and it was an instant death. It has more width than length, meaning dodging to the caster's side will get you killed, but hardly anyone knows that. Damage is about 1500 on my arcane 45 faith 32 build with +10 DC seal. Wrath of Gold is the closest spell to this with its own pro and con. e

Submit

This incantation isn't bad at all, one of the more useful ones. The damage is below something similar like the Wrath of Gold and its FP cost is high, but it has a ton of width and more range than even a fully charged Wrath of Gold.

Submit

Was trying to reduce the damage from a boss but still one shot me, very worthy spell lul

Submit

This is a nice spell with a safe cast (it staggers most things and keeps them away from you) and a very useful debuff.

While the faith investment may seem high, by 28 Faith you get Fire's Deadly Sin, Immutable Shield, Lord's Heal, Dragonbolt Blessing, Vyke's Dragonbolt, Barrier of Gold (and other high-tier defense spells) and Golden Vow, among others which with a high-level dragon seal will do respectable damage when needed (such as frenzy spells, some pyromancies, and access to all of the Aspects of the Crucible abilities).

The assumption is that you're looking at Arcane if you're building for this, so that's a lot of utility you get out of Arcane while still having plenty of levels leftover for whatever else you need.

TBH I can see why so many people don't find this spell valuable. It really is a very playstyle specific spell. Outside reducing the dmg a boss does when summoned, it likely isn't worth the spell slots and damage you could do with something else. But I run a 2-handed, beserker style Holy/strength build focused on buffing my charcters physical and heavy attack damage. I dodge dodge dodge and then slam the boss with as many heavy attacks as possible. I use my first fp bar to buff before a boss, second fp bar to debuff boss, and 3rd is held as needed pending how fight goes. It's a melee glass cannon spec so the dmg reduction from boss is just gravy (as a lot of bosses can 1-2 shot me so that reduction has allowed me to live with a sliver of life more then once)

Submit

Best AOE in the game. If you fight a Boss who has minions or Dogs and the like it will clean the entire Boss arena in max 2 casts, an debuff the Boss.

Submit

I love how the skill looks like so I tried really hard to incorporate it into my arsenal but the cost is just too high - stat requirements, insane FP and stamina cost, reserves 2 memory slots, animation lock. There are just too many drawbacks for it to be useful for my hybrid fighter characters. It's probably decent choice for pure casters to punish and push away foes that get too close. I'm just a little bit disappointed it's nothing more than that.

If you want a dragon spell to debuff enemies you can also use ice dragon breath instead. It has better reach and is way more efficient.
