Boosts Death Sorceries

Prince of Death's Staff is a Glintstone Staff in Elden Ring. The Prince of Death's Staff scales primarily with Intelligence and Faith and is a good Weapon for death sorceries.

 

Staff embedded with sullied amber, said to be a very part of the Prince of Death. Enhances death sorceries.

One of the staves deemed heretical by the academy for its ability to allow sorceries to be augmented through faith in addition to intelligence.

          if you’re like me where you normally don’t like to go into NG+ and start a new character from scratch, this staff gives you a good reason to start NG+. even if you weren’t building towards a death sorcerer in NG, you can still respec to 80/80 int/fth (or as close as you can get to it) before journey 2 and try out a death sorcerer build for it. this staff is meant for high int and faith levels to really shine, and you will incinerate most things with the rancor spells because of it. it’s fun! i like to buff with a seal in my right hand and cast in my left.

            Death Sorceries came from before Destined Death was removed from the Golden Order. It comes from an outer god so why are they and this Faith/Int. Arcane governs the power of Outer God related abilities and Int makes sense. Then the Albinauric should be pure Arcane scaling and they should have made a Golden Order Staff that looks like this but the amber is shiny and unsullied and the wood isn't so rotten looking.

              The scaling of Carian Regal Scepter +10 at 80 INT is 373. Prince of Death's Staff +25 reaches that exact number at 69/69 INT/FAI. So that's the investment needed to reach (and then surpass) a dedicated high-level INT build's sorcery damage output.

              • Anonymous

                This works with two stats but uses the same scaling graph as the Carian Regal Scepter. And I'm not even sure it's intentional.

                • Anonymous

                  I feel like any mage not investing into faith and not using this staff is really missing out. By just focusing on int you are missing out on the most powerful staff, plus death spells magma spells and impenetrable thorns (even post nerf)

                    Has anyone noticed the visual similarities between this and the Scadutree? The black, twisted wood and the golden amber... Haven't explored this in depth but it seems to imply a connection between the Scadutree and Godwyn...

                      It picks up in NG+3, trust me bro. You'll really be kicking yourself if you haven't got it to +25 dozens of hours after you've conquered every challenge in the game several times over.

                        Such an oversight that it doesn't build up deathblight by bonking with it, nor increase the buildup on fia's mist... and doesn't do anything with dlc's death sorceries.

                        But madness has 4 stat scaling seal that performs absurdly good with all of the three finger incantations, including midra's frenzied flame.

                          This should have been soft caped at 40 int and faith and hard caped at 50 int and faith. Death sorceries and split between two attack types leaving less points for vigor and mind. Like pyromancy in darksouls 3 this staffs scaleing at 40 int and faith should be the same as a sacred seals scaling at 60 faith.

                            this should cast incantantions too. Lore makes it an obligation actually, kinda dissapointing it doesn't

                              This staff's scaling does not have any diminishing returns until post 80 Int/Faith. In fact, its sorcery scaling actually gets even faster between 60 and 80 points of Int and Faith. As such, 34 Int/80 Fth gives the same scaling as 60/60 (326).
                              This means you can max Faith and tank intelligence and focus on sorceries with lower requirements, while having access to all miracles with the golden order or erdtree seal.
                              The other way around with 70 Int / 34 Faith + the Golden Order seal and Int/Faith boosting physick is less valuable since at that point this staff will get outscaled by others, but sorceries tend to have higher stat requirements anyway.

                                This is pretty much the staff you use along with probably Golden Order seal until you manage to get Staff of the Great Beyond in the dlc. At around 50/50 int faith I can confirm that the Staff of the Great beyond reaches around 310 scaling, which is just a bit lower than Golden Order Seal.. I do suggest you use Prince of Death's Staff for the beginning of the dlc and try to end it on Staff of Great Beyond. Being able to use Triple Rings of Light alongside Comet, and then using Miriam's vanishing to combo into a Flame Blast from Renalla's swords. There are some CRAZY combos you can try with both Incants and sorceries available to you at a whim. I hope some people try using Tera Magicka and Flame Grant Me strength to test out with some Magma Sorceries. Or using Tera Magicka with a Draconic Glintstone Breath. Faith/Int builds are eating well this DLC.

                                  best staff in the game if u can afford the 80/80 stats requirement, pair with ancient death rancor u will destroy every boss in the game at a comfortable distance.

                                    Tested out the buff. Its only a minor buff to pre 80/80 scaling. A bit more of a smoother scaling curve. Bit more power at lower amounts of faith and int. Barely noticeable but notable.

                                    • This is really built to be a staff for the very late game.

                                      As others have noted, having 99 int/faith brings the scaling of this staff to 448.
                                      Also at 99 int, the staff of loss scales to 352. When casting Invisibility spells, the virtual scaling for the SoL is 352 x 1.3 = 457.6, which is about 2% higher than the PoD. Dual wielding SoL gives about 595 scaling.
                                      When using PoD with SoL offhand, the scaling on invisibility spells would be about 582, which is again only about a 2% difference.

                                      Therefore, if you have the levels to max out this staff, although it's slightly less damage than two SoL, it's more than worth it for reducing swapping when you want to use spells from other schools.

                                        A scaling in both int and faith is nice and all, but like, we need more Death Spells. I hope the DLC gives us more spells and weapons to work with so this staff gets more use.

                                        • It's possible to make a build with this at RL150.

                                          Not a competitive caster build in PvP due to lack of health or light roll, but decent and fun to use in PvE with massive damage and every spell available.

                                              If you're complaining about how this isn't any good at 150 or how it sucks for meta builds, then you're missing the point of this item. FromSoft made it possible for players to reach levels far higher than 150, and items like this are meant to reward that play style.

                                                We need more death spells, and not only that but make death have a separate damage instance. Like densities death with the red effect. Scales with int and faith but has not special status effect of difference in damage… sad

Just getting touched with most normal PvP spells suddening nukes off most of someone's health bar if they're not stacking magic resist at the sight of a mage... I've fallen in love with this staff all over again and is especially fun with Rain of Stars and Crystal Barrage, two... not so amazing spells...

Up until now I just had my max upgraded golden order seal since I couldn’t get the gelmir staff so I could get a staff that made my sorceries relevant to my incantations, but I just got this and it isn’t even max upgraded and it’s already made comet better than lightning spear, which was my go-to spell up until this point.

                                                                  • Anonymous

The Golden Order Seal gets over 340+ scaling at 50/50 and yet the PoD staff can barely even reach 300 at all despite being its staff counterpart. It makes nearly all spells cast with it very weak and underwhelming unless you've pumped like 80/80 to the max. I wish this staff wasn't so backloaded. If you're planning to cap yourself at 150 you're better off just leveling INT to 80, cap your FTH at 30 at best, then use Lusat's staff with PoD in the offhand so you can fire spells at full power and still get the death sorcery boost from PoD.

                                                                      • Anonymous

And it's in good company let's be real here. All the best staffs except for the carian regal scepter are just awful. Make the prince of death at least 50% less bulbous and it would be *fine* looking.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  • Anonymous

It's mighty pricey to optimize for it's use, but it makes me feel like a real archmage, to cast spells that aren't just blue, soul, or crystal flavored. Plus, the golden seal for support spells is a good touch as a side investment. ^_^

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      So I've always interpreted faith scaling in from soft games as having more faith in an entity that empowers the item, but for this staff, what exactly do you have faith in? The prince of death? Those who live in death?

                                                                                      • Anonymous

For the trade off of being a versatile int/faith build, its sorcery scaling is horrible. They could have just made the bonus damage of Death Sorceries much higher to compensate for this instead of a pathetic 10%.

                                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                          plus it gives a bonus to death sorceries, witch is also nice.

                                                                                          • Anonymous

DS has always been a role playing game for a lot of the fan base sometime people just like making characters as opposed to worrying about the best stats

                                                                                              • Anonymous

Generally unless you are going pure faith int (bad idea because you give up on vigor and mind) it’s not worth the investment

                                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                                  At 80 int, 50 faith, the scaling is only 358. So unless you want to get to level 250+, this staff isn't really worth it. By the time you reach the 373 of carian regal, you've invested ~50 pts to faith. By the time you reach Lusat's 413, your faith will be close to 80. Lusat has the FP cost, but if you invest those ~65 pts to mind instead of faith, that cost becomes ridiculous.

                                                                                                  The whole point of this staff isn't really for INT build. It's for a faith build that wants to mess with with sorceries a little. Kind of the opposite of golden order seal, which gives decent access to incantations to INT build.

                                                                                                  • Anonymous

You miss out on ignition/BFP but get pure physical damage, bleed weapon and poisonous mist ash of war. And you could, theoretically, rot breath or frenzy on arcane seal the ppl who are circling you when chased by rancors. I just use magma free aims while rancor and poison chip them. So so so much hate mail. Godfrey icon obviously. And I can shoot from inside freezing mist or fias mist. I have every single pvp status in the game.

                                                                                                                Strongest possible staff at the absolute highest levels (80/80+). Dual-wield it with another on NG+ and death sorceries have an absolutely insane bonus that's about 750~, which is insanely high and no other catalyst, staff or seal, comes remotely close to that even when dual wielded. Even without that, the sorcery bonus is 448, solidly on top with Lusat's Staff and the Golden Order Seal coming in behind at 430 and 418 respectively.

                                                                                                                Now you could use Lusat's, but in terms of FP economy it's atrocious - 50% more FP for 10% more damage. The further you get into the game, especially with each new NG+ cycle, you're going to what make every FP count, and Lusat's will burn your FP very fast. For something like a comet azure + terra magicus + hidden tear opening it's amazing, but once the physick wears off I'd switch to the prince of death's staff for all else, and ESPECIALLY if you're using any of the death sorceries, because that bonus is absurdly high. Might even be the highest bonus a specific type of magic gets from its associated catalyst.

                                                                                                                • Anonymous

They felt like a unified school of magic despite being chime and staff spells. Ds3 had a bit more messy thing going but still kinda solid. Here we get Golden Order Incants and Death sorc, pretty much polar opposites. I feel like the different schools of magic or sub groups or W/e are a bit too messy aesthetically. Beside hybrid caster being kinda crappy, they make no sense from a lore perspective either.

                                                                                                                  • Anonymous

The Prince of Death's Staff overtakes the scepter at 99INT + 61FTH, and at 99 in both stats (plus the talisman), it has a sorcery scaling of 448, 18 more than Lusat's Staff with the same skills + setup. At max stats and weapon upgrades it slightly out-damages Lusat's Staff in real terms, and without the increased FP cost as well.

                                                                                                                    Only viable for super-late-game / hyper-levelled builds, but if you put the work in, it's the best staff in the game.

                                                                                                                    • This staff is so incredibly bad for meta builds. even the gelmir staff isn't really worth it. Just why? Why does this thing need hefty stat investment to actually do damage. Take a look at the golden order seal. It caps at 45/45 and you can deal serious damage way before that. The hybrid staves are just decoration at this point, almost 100 points in scaling behind GOS. What is the reason behind this? How are frisbees of light capable of outdamaging a fat lump of lava to the face or a whole family of angry ghosts? Please enlighten me.

                                                                                                                      • Anonymous

PoD is locked behind quite a few bosses and is hidden in Deeproot depths, and the Gelmir stave is a non-guaranteed drop from an enemy that shows up once in the entire game and is a substantial distance from the nearest site of grace.

It doesnt do any magic damage like the carian regal scepter. I've got 434 sorcery scaling and this AoW is so weak it cant kill a rat.

I wouldn't mind if it capped at 300 something at 50/50, makes trying to do int/faith at lower levels really hard to do lol

Right now the build just lack a competent staff(seal is fine)(weapon is not really a problem since infusion softcap is 50).

                                                                                                                                    Carian Regal Scepter+10 with 80 INT is 373 Sorcery Scaling

                                                                                                                                    Prince of Death's Staff+25 with 80 INT and 57 Faith is 372 Sorcery Scaling

                                                                                                                                    Prince of Death's Staff+25 with 80 INT and 58 Faith is 374 Sorcery Scaling

                                                                                                                                    IMHO, 58 Faith is a lot in order for Prince of Death to out damage Carian Regal. I guess Carian Regal Scepter is just too good. Anyway, it won't stop me going for 80 INT / 80 Faith ... :D

Quick note full faith is pointless unless go faith in if ur a caster except for 1 single reason ur stuck using sonaf if u go split but in return u get the rings of light spells which are amazing and there's slightly better spell scaling full as the elementalist build say expert of all master of none until u hit 150 atleast

Very decent that i wanted to play a build that can use ALL the spells game has and because of int/faith scaling items i can play without penalty.

It wasn’t even a challenge, the damage output was absolutely insane… at 50/50 faith/intel, I can barely harm any significant enemies with ancient death rancor. Even basic trash mobs take two fully charged shots on average. And that’s with Godfrey Icon, magic scorpion charm, and both graven school talismans. The scaling on the PoD staff is trash and the death sorceries are trash too…
