Lightning Perfume Bottle | Elden Ring Wiki

We finally got a lightning weapon that scales with faith, and you know what I like it. Use it alongside my spear if the impaler damage is not as busted as it used to be but it's not bad with right set up.

Submit

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand

Submit

Hope they nerf the str requirement. Too high for no scaling.

Submit

Mildly criminal that this can't use Lightning Ram given its location

Submit

didnt even buff and accidentally one tapped radahn with this while trying random weapons against him on a 70dex/70fth build. 10/10 but i wanted to finish radahn with a cooler weapn

Submit

Oh no, infinity ranged attacks at no FP cost and no consumable spent? Is Miya Wazowski kidding me? Ok, I'd like perfumes material to be all fairly farmable but the way this new bottles works is a joke.

Submit

This weapon is the cat's pajamas.

Submit

Anyone notice the Rolling Sparks aow on this does a small amount of damage while you're charging it? I've been farming the Troll's Gravepost grace Troll for Arteria Leaf (living that perfumer life), and the slight damage (poise damage?) can be enough to stagger him after getting a few legal hits on him. It happens with other enemies too, but **** that input-reading troll.

Submit

I actually think the damage is fine. What could use a buff is the poise damage against other players. Not being a able to stagger an opponent after a clean hit is just very unsatisfying.

Submit

Such a cool weapon. I have a DEX/FAI build that runs this in offhand with the Great Katana Lightning-infused mainhand -- he's a lightning-themed ninja who uses Ancient Dragon magic and katanas. The range isn't super impressive, but the damage is decent, and when you remember the damage is buffed the full 20% by the lightning tear and 12% by the lightning scorpion charm, things start to get more interesting. Plus, any area where it's raining or wet, you'll deal increased damage, on top of most enemies not resisting lightning much.

Submit

Pretty sparks

Submit

Shouldn't this be a pure Dex weapon, seeing as how all other weapons and upgrades with lighting don't have anything do do with faith?

Submit

Not as bad as people make it to be. I beat putrescent knight and messmer with these with rolling spark. You just gotta have the right talismans, like the scorpion charms and perfumer's talisman

Submit

We need the list of what is f%cking usable dor the ashes... Just tried to put blinkbolt on it... It says usable on all melee armaments NOPE, also i see i got determination, usable on all Melee armaments and isn't elemental maybe i can use that? NOPE!!!

Submit

I called this weapon out for having terrible damage and people said "nuh uh, this one ash of war that's clearly doing more damage than intended is instakilling bosses therefore the entire weapon must be good!"

I haven't seen a single person dumb enough to use these since that ash of war got fixed. The weapon itself was bad since day 1 but leaned on the aow as a crutch. These need a significant buff.

Submit

If you know how to stack multipliers, this things pure damage can actually make it a monster if you spec for it properly. Frostbite, Flowerstone Gavel WA, Lightning Shroud, Perfume Talisman, Lightning Sting + the usual buffs make this thing hit like a truck. You also get a 10% damage bonus if they're wet and all of that multiplicative scaling skyrockets the damage because none of it is split damage. There's more talismans and buffs you can apply to make these shred if you use your noodle.

Submit

ironically the people who used to use these didn’t smell like perfume at all

Submit

The lack of stagger really sucks on perfume bottles. I was hoping the DLC would give us a close range lightning incantation with a fast cast time, and we got this instead which I suppose is the next best thing, but these things still need help as do many other things.

Submit

cheese or not it felt nice hitting enemies with literal chidori

Submit

man why does it gotta require 3 strength :( just ruined my build

Submit

Without the exploit, it's much more obvious that all perfumes need buffs.


These barely stagger, have deceptively poor range, and come out pretty slow. You're basically down 1 talisman slot, just to still have subpar damage. Despite being
paired weapons, they can't benefit off any multihit buffs.


The only real advantage is aoe, but the lack of any real stagger means you'll get beat up by a group anyways.

Submit

I'm glad I got to cheese the most disappointing boss in Fromsoft history before they destroyed these. Yes i said Destroyed. Not nerfed. These may as well not exist now. They do no real damage to anyone or anything now.

Submit

These are such cool weapons! I saw that I got an AoW for “perfume bottles” and I assumed that there was an equippable version of them

Submit

This weapon does more damage one handed than 2 handed. Testing on soldiers in liurnia at lvl 33 with min stats. It does 106 damage one handed and 94 damage 2 handed with light attacks. Something is definitely off here.

Submit

They took "catch lightning in a bottle" too literally

Submit

I was hoping to get radahn over with, but i see im too late

Submit

Dual wield motions values appear to be bugged on this bottle

The fire bottle deals quite a bit more damage dual wielding, but this bottle deals roughly the same amount 1h vs dual wield IF both streams hit, so it's very possible to do less damage dual wielding than 1h if one stream misses

Help us Miyazaki

Submit

Why does it say, that the bottle scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity and Faith, if it says in the box on the right, that the bottle doesn't scale with Strength at all?

Submit

I kept using the Perfume Bottles with Rolling Spark Ash of War after the patch to see if it is still playable. In terms of PvE, the Ash of War is still useful in boss fights, particularly with big bosses. However, never aim to the ground because now the Ash of War go through the floor, thus not permitting the stacked damage. The normal attacks are unchanged so they're good for inflicting elemental damage to a single or group of enemies, problem is they don't cause much poise damage so some enemies will still attack you while spreading the attack. Can't say much about PvP as I only tested it on Coop, but like I said it's good for big boss fights.

Submit

Average Elden ring nerf making every good fun weapon useless

Submit

RIP John Smellden Ring

Submit

Aaaaand its gone...

Submit

fromsoft are such chads for nerfing this nooby weapon

Submit

Honestly though this weapon kind of deserved the nerf, the ash of war made pve kind of stupid and uninteresting. idk if I would've made only one hitbox active though if aimed at the ground, I would've just done 25%-50% less damage if aimed at the ground, but that's just my take.

Submit

nerf it more!

Submit

People crying about bug fix, i cant, just go back to your bleed build if you want to be op

Submit

I beat the last boss yesterday with this bad boy. Gods, I made it just in time. Without this thing, I don't think I never would've beat that cheap ****.

Submit

Literally still works the same, they just removed the bug exploit where manually aiming at the ground detonates all sparks at once. Against large bosses and crowds it still shreds.

Submit

Aim up or straight, works still on bigger enemies. Fast small enemies get no dmg from it basically, also do not hit any wall or floor with it.

Submit

nerfed to the ground, not usable. fromsoftware style

Submit

It was fun deleting Mohg for people before the fix lmao rip.

Submit

went from overpowered to completely unusable.
I really hope they buff the normal attacks because after the rolling sparks nerf it is completely useless.

Submit

Keep in mind that this was bug fixed not a nerf. Rolling sparks when cast on the ground causing all the explosions happen in one area at once. Now it has been changed so only a couple will happen. Using rolling sparks normally will still pump out insane numbers for larger bosses.

Submit

Sadly unusable after nerf

Submit

Well, the nerf came and this thing went from pretty good and fun to use to just absolute dog-water. Now despite being caught in a cloud of the stuff, most of the hits don't register on bigger bosses even when you're not trying to use the cheese strat and use it normally.

Submit

It was fun while it lasted boys

Submit

r.i.p.

Submit

Well the nerf is finally here. Rip perfumes

Submit

Sadly, From never nerfs anything normally. They’re going to make this weapon useless and forgotten after the nerf instead of balancing it.

Submit

I own furnace golem with this and rolling spark with shard of alexander and perform talisman. u can take down any one in couple hit lol, you technically dont need anything else in the game. summon a dummy and spam rolling spark, watch them melt. nerf incoming

Submit

Me when I tell my friend who doesn’t play that some of elden ring’s strongest weapons are perfume bottles

Submit

“The Lightning Perfume Bottle scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity and Faith”

No, it doesn’t scale with strength at all, as evidenced by the table in this very article.

Submit

its an absolute joke how good this weapon is lmao. throw on perfumer's talisman and alexander's shard and enjoy 3 shotting every boss in the DLC with Rolling Sparks

Submit

Can somebody explain to me why the interaction of lightning perfume bottle and rolling sparks AOW is so broken? Is it just the rolling sparks AOW in general? Or is sth different abt the lightning one?

Submit

I don’t think this weapon was properly balanced, like I don’t know about you but with only a few buffs you shouldn’t be able to three shot elden beast.

Submit

Did this thing get nerfed already? Seems like it from my testing?

Submit

It seems Radahn is not a fan of Dior Sauvage...

Submit

jeremy fragrance

Submit

easily melts the final boss with the proper talismans/equipment. Killed the boss in 1 minute with this (not a speedrunner/pro) just spam it on the ground and heal when needed. That is without summons/ ashes.

Submit

lol try to spam attacks on a horse, its hilarious

Submit

Call me crazy, but this thing will get nerfed.

Submit

Use endure on a right hand weapon, swap to this, and then nuke 3 people at once in invasions while you can.

Submit

Don’t listen to the location directions given in this Wiki. Ehile the spot is correct, they listed a terrible way of getting there. Instead, the best way to get it is to start at the “Ellac River Downstream” grace and head south to the edge of the cliff, then parkour your way down the rocks. Once you reach the bottom head Southeast to the small pond and it’ll be in a corpse.

Submit

what the actual hell this thing deals over 10k with Rolling Sparks

Submit

"burning asses in panic"
nerf weapon after 3...2...1

Submit

am i the only one having a hard time hitting the ground focused attacks? some bosses like Morgott are getting stunned, but no damage

Submit

Probably the most broken thing that has ever been included in their games. Nukes quite literally anything and everything.

Submit

Everyone's so focused on Rolling Sparks being cooked that they can't see how insane the running R2's on the perfumes are for larger bosses. I managed like 3000-4000 damage in a single one on the Dancing Lion with a few buffs. Kinda wacky wild if you ask me.

Submit

now im not upgrading the game. fromsoftware sooner or later is gonna patch this

Submit

What? I have to have 3 strength?? This is absurd! I don't wanna waste any levels into strength on these!!

Submit

Oooh girl, shock me like an electric eel

Submit

Absurdly broken, rolling sparks when paired with the correct buffs one shots hosts using Morgott great rune by free aiming down so all the aoe's are together. Like wtf fromsoft did you even test this silly ****.

Submit

Doesn't have the usual spreading on water lightning effect

Submit

This is the best, if not only pure Faith lightning weapon in the entire game.

Submit

blatantly overpowered

Submit

hope this doesnt get nerfed or maybe just a bit and not unusable since when do people even use perfume builds? and if its too strong in pvp just nerf it only pvp

Submit

Weird that the lightning bottle has a Dex and Faith scaling, but the fire one is Dex only

Submit

if you aim at your legs all the sparks will eventually hit the target doing huge damage

Submit

Must be the neweset OP build. I killed Messmer NG+3 with Rolling Sparks AOE in seconds. It dealed ~24k damage with one hit and 14 skippidy tree buffs.

Submit

So I have 3 perfume bottles so far. Lightning ,fire and poison. On the fire and lightning it lets me use an ash of war. Does anyone else see this or did I get a special pair ? Ash of war (Wall of Sparks) works great with these. Please let me know if you guys know of other ashes that work with them.

Submit

really insane damege. you can 3-shot or less every boss.

Submit

It’s over perfume bros

Submit

Yall better enjoy this weapon with the rolling sparks AoW while you still can, 'cause it's undoubtedly gonna get nerfed into oblivion in the next patch.

Submit

but what is the actual point of putting a strength requirement of 3

Submit

this has the highest damage output of all perfumes not including status effects. very good for dex/faith build

Submit

Oh boy! A lightning weapon that scales with faith more than dex! That's fantastic!

*Looks at damage.*

Oh no.

Submit

This thing is busted on a dex/faith build if you use rolling sparks. Finally a use for the perfume talisman.

Submit

Lightning perfume bottle can be equipped with an ash of war

Submit

Just beat the final dlc boss with this weapon, the dmg it can do with the rolling sparks aow is insane.

Submit

They really captured lightning in a bottle with this one.

Submit

you can infuse the weapon with AOW, just need to find the two of them dedicate to the perfume bottle weapon, it dosent change the element or scalling, but give you another move than "kick"

Submit

Would this work on a pure faith build? I want to only use dragon cult incantations with these as a no-FP alternative so i only do electric damage.

Submit

Ha, Lightning in a Bottle!

Submit

Like someone in here said previously Rolling Sparks is disgustingly good. I was already using the normal fire perfume bottle but this lightning one, with no changes (60 dex 18 faith) just nuked the hippo for 7k per weapon art when every spark hit. DON'T SLEEP ON PERFUME. I'm using perfumer talisman, ritual sword, shard of alex, and lightning scorpion if anyone cares about that.

Submit

I use it as a taser on invaders, very shocking

Submit

This does not require somber stones, only regular smithing stones. It can also be infused with ashes of war.

Submit

For anyone curious: If you weild a different set of perfume bottles in your offhand then your LB attacjs will spray perfume of both weapon types

Submit

You can cancel a charged heavy with a dodge to do a backstep attack

Submit

Put the Rolling sparks ash of war on this and laugh your way through the bosses. Regularly seeing 5k damage, some lightning weak enemies take more than 7k. Even Bayle, which one would assume is resistant to Lightning takes around 3k.

Submit

It's soooooo good to finally have a faith scaling lightning weapon.
