Scepter of the All-Knowing | Elden Ring Wiki

Would be cool if it let you cast spells and miracles, fits his whole theme of being all knowing

Would be cool if it gave you extra spell slots, fits his whole theme of being all-knowing.

The scepter that Gideon use is the npc version only which make it diffirent from player scepter, when Gideon activates the Knowledge Above All of his npc version scepter it will only affect the players but himself and while the player version the debuff only last 60s and reduce 10% magic and holy damage negation, the npc version debuff last 180s and reduce 30% negation. The npc ver is more powerful then what we got huh :V

How I think scepter of the all-knowing should have been make.
Weapon Type: Glintstone Staff
Scaling at +0 -> +10
Str E Str E
Int D Int A
Fai D Fai A
Requirements
Str 10
Int 20
Fai 20
Sorcery Scaling will be the same as Golden Order Seal but for sorcerys instead of incantation.
The Ash of War remains the same it make a valid option instead of Prince of Death with builds with less then 80 faith and intelligence.

Submit

Really good at roll catching do to its long range and the slightly delayed swings.

Submit

Viny, hit er with the sticky hand

Submit

Something really tells me this was intended to be a Sorcery Staff at some point in development, but than from decided to turn it into a hammer for some reason

Submit

Giving a weapon this f**king cool looking a skill as generic and lame as a slight magic/holy damage res debuff is one of the most baffling weapon design decisions From made.

This thing absolutely should have functioned as a staff/seal hybrid as it's weapon skill. It would have made it ultimate "jack of all trades, master of none" casting weapon which makes perfect sense considering who it belongs to. Hell, even make it so the requirements for both sorceries and incants are reduced when using it so it's not absurdly stat hungry to use.

Submit

The skill has a weird but fun niche - it marks stealthed assassins with the usual huge eye sigil, which is fitting and helpful both in solo and coop if you forgot your holy torch

Submit

If this was a catalyst, I’d like it to reach 300 sorcery/incant scaling, please. Would make INT/FTH much better

Submit

Trash. Why? Cause it has negative range. Perhaps frame data is necessary to support my claim but I’ve consistently noticed it will miss opponents that the top clearly hit. Other hammers don’t have this issue. I would know because I use hammers almost exclusively since launch. This makes being the longest hammer a detriment along with niche stats/L2.

Submit

Death Sorcery / Golden Order users, this is where you shine.

Submit

Honestly surprised that it doesn't also reduce the other elemental damage resistances, considering Gideon can deal fire damage if you've killed Mohg, and it would kinda fit his all-knowing style.

Submit

They really don't like making pure int unique weapons in this game do they

Submit

Yet another casualty of the "throw darts to decide the dex requirements of a weapon" design philosophy of ER.

Submit

I spam running r2 with this and people mald and cope

Submit

actually a good support weapon if you are a caster. and no, it shouldnt be able to cast both incants and sorceries. gideon doesnt do that.

Submit

Weapon skill should cast equipped spell and weapon itself should scale with STR, INT, FAI, and ARC

Submit

This will be my rod. Now I need a staff.

Submit

After all that tedious work, a useless sad excuse of a weapon
Absolutely pitiful skill, and I don't even like skills

Submit

Weapon skill could have been an anti magic weapon similar the the anti magic field in Demon Souls. Instead all it does is "Reduces Magic & Holy Damage Negation by 10%". Useless weapon art.

Submit

Wasted potential, could've been a great int/faith weapon but I guess we are stuck with the SoNaF.

Submit

doesn't cast incantations :(

Submit

it'd be cool if this wasnt a hammer but instead a catalyst that could cast sorceries AND incantations, making it ideal for int/fth builds

Submit

the skill and damage of this weapon are mediocre, but the moveset and reach make this thing a rollcatch machine for pvp

Submit

this thing is so fun to use in PvP

Submit

could have been an int fth weapon, hell it even reduces holy damage

Submit

Hmm, it's similar to the Carian Knight Sword and Rosus Axe in being extremely long for its weapon class and having a nice mix of physical and magic damage that holds up well vs any enemy in the game (while having high total AR even compared to other infused weapons), but unlike those weapons its total AR is inferior to some other split damage competitors, namely a Lightning infused Hammer (which is just as long). Also you get it a lot later than the hammer. The unique skill sounds fun for absolutely maxing out your damage output on a caster build though.

Submit

This really should of been a INT/FTH weapon with physical/magic/holy damage and R2 sorcery casting. In it's current design this weapon's only real strength is it's move set and the ability to quick swap on the debuff in some fights but compared to the more meta weapon setup's even that is not enough to really justify using it. It's such a shame that From can design iconic weapons like the demon scar in DS3, and then fall totally flat on the same idea in the next game. Specially when you consider that this would not be the predominant caster option due to the new poise system eliminating r1/spell true combo's.

Submit

anybody know if the weapon skill properly effects holy damage negation in pvp?

Submit

Mediocre damage even on an int dex build, but the moveset is pretty great and pairs well with sorceries. I mean you could do better, but you could defintiely do worse

Submit

the skill should give you wall hax for a little bit, since you have knowledge above all

Submit

What an awful weapon, so much wasted potential. It's not a catalyst/weapon hybrid, it's not a sorcery/incantation catalyst hybrid, it doesn't even scale with both faith and int. The dude who weilds this can cast Scarlet Aeonia! It's skill decreases holy damage negation! So many arbitrary limitations.

Submit

Gideon does NOT use this weapon to cast spells, I cannot believe how uninformed people are. Gideon weilds his hanner at first, but uses a staff in his right hand and a sacred seal in his left. He frequently runs up to you into melee range while on a 'cooldown' from spells, and you can easily see what he's holding.

Submit

Not a multi catalyst. Thanks Fromsoft.

Submit

Some one dropped this for me early game on my mage character. Just a random summon at Storm Castle gave it to me without mention. And it carried me until late game and is still my number 2 back up weapon and first choice whenever I need a strike weapon. I have no idea who or why they dropped this, but I probably would have never seen the value in it otherwise. Very, very good PvE weapon. I have never tried it in PvP.

Submit

This should be int/str

Submit

the only reason this has the thrusting attacks is so you can jab people with those fingers

Submit

C'mon Fromsoft! Why couldn't this have been a staff/hammer hybrid? Like you made the Demon Scar a Curved Sword/Pyromancy Flame Hybrid back in Dark Souls 3, Why can't this cast spells even though it's a goddamn scepter used by the All-Knowing? Yet another weapon in this game that had so much potential to be cool only to be lame asf.

Submit

i mean if you're looking for a strike weapon for your int/dex build, you can do a lot better, but you can probably do a lot worse as well

Submit

the reforged mod turns this into a catalyst that lets you cast both sorceries and incantations, as it should have been!

Submit

Guys, is it possible to use the skill without having enough strength/dex? I'm asking because I haven't obtained this weapon yet, and I'm curious because if possible this weapon is going to help me a lot with my sorceries. Eg. I can use the skill of Troll Knight's Sword but I don't have the necessary strength/skill to wield it properly... would the same happen to this weapon?

Submit

Really should have been a hybrid catalyst, either a weapon/spell tool or a staff/seal that could cast both sorceries and incantations. You know, like Gideon does in his fight.

Submit

shouldve been an all purpose catalyst with A scaling on both faith and int

Submit

this thing should be an R2 casting tool and R1 weapon like ds3 and ds2 weapons

Submit

at least make it scale with int and fth come on fromsoft

Submit

the weapon art acting like wallhax could have been cool for invasions

Submit

Knowledge above all+ wave of gold.

You're welcome

Submit

Bonk thrust

Submit

Um, so, why the **** is this not a staff?

Submit

Really underrated weapon.
Running R2, Is practically on par with running R2 of thrusting swords. (Meaning it's really good).
The two handed moveset on this is also really good, most notably two hand dodging/ crouching R1 is very similar to the infamous crouch poke attack with ultra greatsword.

The ash of war on this is also underrated. Knowledge above all reduces magic and holy resistance for everyone in huge area, you can't really dodge it. While the debuff also effects you, it doesn't really matter unless your fighting another mage or holy user. Pair this Ash of War with Frostbite effect and you can have 30% magic defense shred essentially.

Most people without buffs don't even have more than 25% or so magic resistance, and AOW + Frostbite basically nullifies that natural resistance or gives enough shred to basically completely nullify Magic Fortification buff. The debuff also stacks with Dark Moon debuff, so Knowledge above all + Rannis Dark Moon (Also builds frostbite ) + Knowledge above all = Some major defense shred.

Last but not least, it has practically same stat requirements as Moonveil, and even on presets like Astrologer that have low starting strength, you can still use this by simply two handing it, as long as you meet dex requirements.

Submit

People never expect the the running R2 poke on this and thus get destroyed

Submit

It's a shame that this can't cast spells. DS2 had Blue Flames and the dlc's added more. This sword along with the Sanctum shield made spellsword build incredible. Oh well, Scepter of the All Bonk can at least cast head smash.

Submit

Possibly one of the only Hammers that doesn't have pitiful reach.

Submit

Bonk smarter, not harder.

Submit

This weapon embodies the very philosophy of fromsoft just don't think

Submit

Genuinely the best mace in the game. It's range is actually decent, it has forward momentum on it's running R2, crouch poking & thrust counterhit, and on a sorcerer it's weapon art is yet another source of damage boosting for spells, while also being a direct buff for itself.

Submit

Wait, it's a hammer? I thought it was a casting staff.

For the all-knowing's gimmick, it should be a Staff that functions as a Seal, but has an actually decent melee attack string on it's R2.
So you can equip this in one hand and do melee, Sorcerery and Incantations.

Submit

Bonk but if it was DEX/INT

Submit

People keep mentioning Gideon casts with this. I'm pretty sure he doesn't. The fight usually starts off with him using Knowledge Above All, and him swapping out to what I think is some Carian Staff, maybe Glintstone (not glintblade?).
I think this mace has a really cool gimmick, and to echo other statements here it's a shame it requires int to actually use, so a Faith build can't make proper use of it.

Interestingly, Magic has 3 methods of decreasing enemy defence. Ranni/Ranala's Moon, Cold, and this mace right here.
Faith has one, and that's Greyoll's Roar, which has weird range and a long cast time. Not saying that the Moon spells don't, but they also have massive range, tracking and AoE. Cold is just a debuff you apply by bonking people, and the mace has a pretty big AoE at the cost of debuffing you as well.
I just think it's weird, is all!

... Also the holy negation. Not bad, but.. it's just Fire is almost always better for Faith builds. Frommm, why you gotta be weird like this!

Submit

So it's a weapon that strengthens magic and holy damage, dropped by the living embodiment of a hybrid caster... and it's int/dex???

This reeks of last minute balancing decisions.

Submit

There's not even a weapon that takes advantage of the weapon art by default. I suppose you could try a sacred or magic infusion for some results, but why would you?

Submit

This should have been demon scar 2.0. Make it so you use sorceries or incants with it.

Submit

Probably the best hammer in the game due to it's good range. When compared to every other hammer, none come anywhere near the length of this thing. Sad that the Ash of War is kind of a dud, but if you are committed to using a hammer for any sort of reason, this one will feel the least miserable, in a pvp sense that is.

Submit

yay another int weapon :)

Submit

How gideon uses it: Spams all kinds of spells as if he has FP coursing through his blood

How we use it: Ooga Booga

Submit

This weapon could get much more attention if it scaled with faith too. If you are making a faith int build you are limited to sword of night and flame if you want to use an unique(somber), this weapon could bring more variety if it scaled with faith.

Submit

Missed opportunity for making an int/faith scale weapon. Like cmon Gideon using both sorceries and incantations so why do this stick only need int

Submit

Why is this not a catalyst for spells and incantations. :(

Submit

Why is this not a catalyst for spells and incantations. :(

Submit

Reduce enemy’s and YOUR magic and holy damage negation. So basically a 10% buff to your magic attack. Lasts 30 seconds. Buff/debuff still shows up if you switch weapons and make the hammer not visible. Buff/debuff stacks with Jellyfish shield. So it could be useful for some cases, such as buff for comet azur.

Submit

why is this not a sorcery/incantation mixed catalyst.
why

Submit

Watching Gideon seamlessly cast all manner of sorceries and incantations with this- :O

Getting it and realizing it's just a mediocre hammer and not a hybrid catalyst at all- :|

Submit

"Vsauce Michael here, what if I could bonk you?"

Submit

This should be int/fth scaling and cast sorcery / incantation, total waste

Submit

A few people have suggested it, but they really did miss a trick with making this a casting aid. Having a debuff to damage or increased cost, maybe even terrible scaling to make up for the versatility would make it more balanced.

A terrible cane, it shouldn't be.

Submit

Kinda wish you can at least cast spells with this thing, considering how late you can obtain it. I'm sure people don't really mind the low Spell buff or something else.

Submit

No fair. How come Gideon can cast from this and we can’t? Also kinda sad there’s no faith scaling despite him using both Incants and Sorceries.

Submit

I think this should've been an all-casting unique hammer. Hammer with the ability to cast sorceries and incantations. This has been done before too. There were gear like this in DS2.

Submit

Aaah yes, the smart man’s bonker.

Submit

It looks like an albinauric's hand... I think this confirms that Gideon totally did slaughter that albinauric village and not framed by Seluvis like I've heard

Submit

Big missed opportunity here to make an INT/FAI weapon other than Sword and Night of Flame

Submit

Longest Hammer in the game, and has a great running r2 and rolling/crouching r1. I use it on my int/faith build in tandem with Golden Order Incantations, which is made even better after using the weapon art.

Submit

The mark from this weapon art can be seen when used on invisible enemies, such as the assassins in Ordina, making them partially visible for the duration.

Submit

Honestly I think this should have been an int/faith weapon

Submit

So after some testing the debuff it applies seems to result in a flat 10% magic/holy damage increase. This is is also why it SEEMS to have less of an effect with increasing resistance percentages (that is the right decimal number on your stats chart), but that is due to the nature of percantages.

Submit

In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will.

Submit

BUTTSCRATCHER?

Submit

Just make a couple coldpot throwables and chuck em at the boss. You will get alot more damage reduction on them from a frost proc than you will from this meme stick.

Submit

Doe it end up looking like shopkeeper backs rather weap?

Submit

Really cool good moveset for a Hammer/club weapon. Rather bad scaling it seems and bad Ash of War Skill.

Submit

Really wish this would have been a combination of a staff and a seal, so you could cast every spell with it.

Submit

The weapon art should have been randomly casting any spell in the game, woulda been more fun

Submit

Reduces negation by 10% of each element when you initially have 0% negation, but the exact number seems to get lower the more negation you start with. When I used it starting at 50% magic negation, it only lowered it to 45. Using the skill at -32% negation ended up lowering me 13%~ negation.

Submit

This weapons works on bosses. Don't sleep on it. Its really, really good. Even if as a aux weapon for your main hand.

Submit

Its crouch/roll attacks are pokes which is.. cool, I guess

Submit

Its crouch/roll attacks are pokes which is.. cool, I guess

Submit

Why does every weapon with FTH and INT scaling only hit like C or D at +10? LIke why even include scaling in elden ring if 40/40/40 quality is the best for 90% of the weapons in the game?

Submit

I'm not even disappointed that this isn't a staff-- I was just hoping for another int/faith weapon than sword of night & flame. If the ash of war reduces both holy & magic defense, then why wouldn't it scale with both int and faith?

Submit

I just sent a ticket to namco about this item. It is a catalyst but suddenly becomes a hammer when player get his hands on it. It should be fixed.
