Not only is this spell really good, but it's also just fun. Every single time I use this spell in pvp I say "rock" out loud to myself

Is the note about this true comboing into lightning spear accurate? I know it combos into WoG but how consistent is lightning spear? Anyone tested this?

Submit

good spell for arcane/blood build vs bosses immune to hemorrhage. Gargoyle and last esp. Just use dragonseal

Submit

Joke about this spell as much as you want but this spell wrecked Hourah Loux for me on a pure faith run

Submit

Arrow's reach talisman doesn't work. One comment from 2022 said it did but it doesn't appear to anymore.

Submit

This spell carried me through the Astel fight in Liurnia

Submit

On a dedicated build this thing has the best FP to damage ratio of any spell in the entire game. Especially w/ cinquedea equipped while two-handing the claw mark seal or bonus STR scaling.

This spell absolutely clowns on Mohg the Omen

Submit

It's criminal how good this spell is, especially on a dedicated STR/FTH build with its corresponding seal. Successive chain casting on top of great damage, low cost, great stagger and layering potential with other spells/skills makes this one a staple for me.

gurranq stone into lightning slash zwei is a reliable rollcatch in pvp

Love that his incantation has 0 tracking but Mal can decide he threw a curveball halfway through the stone's arc

Anybody know the damage calculation for this?

Submit

Lichdragon Fortissax was kicking my butt, my Claymore had trouble landing any hits and did pitiful damage. I tried all my spells in a panic and ONE Stone to his head dealt 3 times the melee damage. Next attempt I only used the Stone, and that was the run !

Submit

rock sling for faith bros, absolutely goated.

Submit

Moves slower than I expected.

Submit

I love to meticulously plan all the variations of faith builds and spend hours collecting all the gimmicks just to use this and Black Blade on almost all of the bosses.

Submit

Hey Watson, cinder block.

Submit

Lots of people going "Grug strong, Grug throw rock good" which is funny, but considering this and rock sling are some of the best spells in the whole game maybe cavemen were smarter than we thought. Rock strong.

Submit

Really good at catching quickstep and light rollers. Has an AOE which makes it really good if you aim it at your feet and the a connection true combos into another rock or into most melee attacks.

Submit

honestly this thing is a ****ing workhorse for faith builds. just very well balanced all around as a projectile incant.

Submit

grug licke. Guud spel. Grug throw rok. Hert stron.

Submit

the AoE added to this thing on patch 1.07 makes up for the lack of tracking and slow projectile speed

Submit

Great for nailing mage spammers in duels. Just throw in between rolls and catch em mid-cast.

Submit

an absolute combo machine in pvp. catchflame? combo. r1? combo. itself? combo

Submit

this thing absolutely wrecks at maximum casting speed

Submit

THAG LIKE. ROCK SMASH. MAKE HAPPY. THAG COMPLETE CAVE BUILD

Submit

Needs slightly better tracking or slight change in ballistic trajectory, it's all fun until the rock sales over your opponents head.......

Submit

this might as well be called "the ol' reliable"

Submit

I just love how some of the best spells in the game is literally just multiple variations of "throw stone"

Submit

As of patch 1.07 this directly competes with Giantflames Take Thee and Lightning Spear as the best mid-range incantation for PVE.

A high strength and low faith (13-20ish points) hybrid will especially get the most use out of this spell.

Frankly even those wanting a pure Strength build ought to consider 15 points of faith and using this incantation.

Especially when paired with Flane Grant Me Strength

Lightning spear will still be the best go to incantation for damage, but the stagger and low FP cost in this is still nice.

Giantsflames Takes Thee can hit multiple enemies like lightning spear and has good stagger. It offers a good best of both worlds, but it costs two memory slots and requires 30 faith.

Submit

This destroys the duel gargoyles

Submit

Out of all the ranged spells, methinks this is one of the best. It's also perfect for my barbarian build.

Submit

it has splash damage!!!! you can kill tightly packed enemies with this bad boy

Submit

YEP ROCK

Submit

does arrows reach help it
?

Submit

Amazing utility spell. Decently fast, hits hard, has good range and can be free aimed. Actually, it's better off being free-aimed, as you can hit someone running sideways, because tracking is awful. Well-timed shot can punish that chug or opponent's spell easily. Also good for poking enemies at range in PvE. FromSoft loves putting some annoying ranged enemies to places that are hard to reach, so throwing a boulder to their face solves a problem.

Submit

This is strong and while not fast compared to comets or lightning bolt it's def a faster free aim spell by comparison with minimal arch. Fun toy that's also dangerous in good hands and fast enough/staggering to combo for mix ups.. another incant/spell with a very high skill ceiling

Submit

Whelp after recent updates this thing officially rocks!

Submit

using this for my santa build later this year. you ALL get coal

Submit

this incant true combos into itself, it also true combos into catch flame

Submit

The Barbaric almost useless version of Rock Sling.... Lmao seriously , this is the only Bestial Spell that has no worth whatsoever. ( The other Claws and Bestial Sling is much more better both in terms of damage , casting and Utility mostly ). Rock Sling is superior than this giving the Tracking , More Damage and better Stagger it offers.... This is however just a Cosplay Spell when used as a Beast-build lol otherwise its pretty useless honestly.... Even FP ratio Rock Sling is Superior in everyway.

Submit

In a game that has katanas that shoot laser beams, staves that creates gravity wells, and the ability to summon F*CKING METEOR SHOWERS….. you decided to throw rocks. I can respect that.

Submit

boulder heave, but useful

Submit

ROCK! AND! STONEEE!

Submit

would make sense for these to have a strength requirement

Submit

Shreds enemy stance and puts them on their knees. I had Mohg kneel to me twice in his fight. At this point I don't care about the damage, stance breaking by itself is a huge incentive to use this incantation.

Submit

wish it had slight tracking maybe a bit more aoe splash otherwise solid. great in pve and decent in pvp if you learn to free aim it

Submit

Roll catching people with this spell in PvP is funny as hell

Does anyone have any tips for hitting enemies at long distance with manual aim consistently? I killed all the silver tears around the giant skeleton on the throne at night's sacred ground before the chest holding the fingerslayer blade from up on the cliff where the ancestral woods grace checkpoint is. But I had to use maybe six cerulean flasks to do it, I needed a lot of cast to find the range for each group and it helped that they move towards where the rocks land then get hit by those following. Unlike arrows shot from a bow far out of its range with manual aim that do no damage when they hit their target, the rocks were killing the silver tears just as effectively from that big a difference in elevation and distance as they were when target locked up close. But I can't find any consistent way, like lining up my helm with landmarks to hit what I'm aiming at without using a load of FP to find my range first, so I'm hoping someone here will have more experience and ideas how to best go about this.

Submit

Even after using it for a good while and knowing its a stunning incantation for shredding poise, stamina and for breaking even a strong enemy's guard leaving them open to a critical hit and knowing how versatile it is it still isn't easy to recommend this because the hassle of getting six deathroot might outweigh its value to a lot of players who haven't seen what it can do.

I wouldn't say this part anywhere else, but I think everyone who already has it will know. I messed up some npc quests by not reading the steps I needed to follow, after that I'm not sure I got to the boss this incantation surprised me with the most at the intended level because of my determination not to bollocks up doing what I needed to get the dung puppet summons. Once I had him squared away I followed Ranni's quest to the letter and got to Astel naturalborn of the void at the grand cloister and before anyone says I was over levelled the baleful shadow was killing me in three fast hits until I got my timing right.

I summoned dung as soon as I was in the boss room and promptly got knocked flat on my arse by Astel's beam attack for half my health bar, it was the only hit it landed on me. Dung was tanking the hits like a champion and kept getting up for more, I was able to keep at a safer distance and target the weak spot of the boss's head with stone of gurranq I don't think anyone on Astel's wiki would believe me but between that and dung it destroyed him, I only had to use one crimson flask from that first hit. Exactly the same tactic worked to kill the version of Astel in yelough anix tunnels at consecrated snowfield later as well but that one did land plenty of hits, but again this incantation and dung killed it first time. I thought it was worth saying here in case anyone who already has it maybe hasn't thought to try it on those two bosses.

Submit

Not sure if this is already known, but if you land a stone indirectly ing pvp, the stagger is enough to have a guaranteed followup r1 for atleast greataxe and below at max cast speed

Submit

I roleplay as Ifan Ben-Mezd from Divinity Original Sin 2 with this OP incantation and im having a blast! I posted the build on my yt page if anyone wants to check it

I made a comment on 26th July 09:02, I wouldn't normally go on and on about the same thing but the enemies involved are strong contenders for the most c**tish in the whole game so if anyone found a way to make dealing with them a little easier I'd want to know about it.

I said how enough hits from this will knock the T-Rex dogs down and open to a critical hit in my previous comment. It does the exact same thing to those giant crow f**kers as well, but it's not as straight forward with the crows as it is with the dogs because of how quickly they can close the distance between them and you, so it's not going to make them an easy kill but it does make them an easier kill.

Bearing in mind this is only available after giving Gurranq six deathroots as well as the places and enemies that need to be dealt with to get them, it is easier to avoid the T-Rex dogs and giant crows than it is to get this incantation just for an advantage in dealing with those two enemy types, but seeing as most reading up about this incantation are likely to have already been given it by Guranq I thought it was worth making a comment about this being good for those two specific enemies.

Submit

This thing has really surprised and impressed me. I haven't used any of the incantations given as rewards for the deathroot. I've been wanting the perfumer Trisha sprit ashes for a while but its a nasty boss fight with her buffing a misbegotten leonine warrior. This incantation made them both my b***hes, summoned raya lucaria soldier ash as soon as I crossed the fog then cast this repeatedly at the misbegotten. It really f***ed it up, and Trisha can't last long on her own.

That's not all either two or three hits will put the T-Rex dogs at mountaintop of the giants down and open for a critical hit, I really like this incantation.

Submit

Either needs a bigger hitbox on rock or faster travel time (even regular enemies can walk past it...) as is the damage to fp is quiet nice, also deals physical/poise damage, oh and deals enough poise damage in pvp to interrupt even such high hyper armor skills as waterfowl dance of Malenia katana...

Submit

I love this one, it's really fun to free-aim it into far away enemies or bonk shielded knights. Also the implication with clawmark str scaling that this is less of a "spell" and more just that you're such a chonky quasi-werewolf that you can hurl random boulders with ease.

Submit

A bonk you can chonk

Submit

Time for a Kratos build

Submit

Considering that this seems to be the incantation equivalent of Rock Sling, it certainly doesn't deal much poise damage and its range/targeting ability just sucks. That said, it DOES still work quite well for many things.

Submit

this spell ****ing destroys rennala if you rush to get it before fighting her. it's so funny just bonking her on the head with a giant rock.

Submit

Bestial sling. Bestial claw.
And now bestial YEET

Submit

As of 1.05, this is one of the very few spells left that can be chain-cast with themselves.

Submit

The last sound your enemies will hear is a bonk, love this spell

Submit

I love this spell already because of how funny the comment section is

Submit

Great incantation to open up with on larger enemies in PVE because it deals massive poise damage. With radagon's icon equipped, chain this into black flame ritual, and you should have lots of room to attack.

Submit

Holy Bonk

Submit

been messing around with this and found that it might be one of the incants most benefited by max cast speed, having the radagon icon and offhand azur’s staff gives a massive decrease to the cast time of both the initial rock throw and the follow up chained ones as well, and I suggest that anyone using this either for pvp or pve get to max cast speed to use this as it helps a ton

Submit

This is not the first move in my arsenal, but it's often my last. Every enemy which has beaten me to the point I bring out the rocks embodies rigor mortis.

Submit

The stun from the rock allow a true combo with catch flame, bestial sling and honed bolt, its really good with chain casted honed bolt, throw a lot of people of guard, also does over 133 poise damage, great against poise stacker since it force them to roll into you so you can cast chain casted catch flame or bestial sling to catch their roll.

Submit

Does Radagon Icon make ya chuck Rocks faster? Trying it out and I FEEL it's a bit faster using the Radagon Icon but wanted to know if there was anyone who crunched some numbers on this?

Submit

it really doesn't matter too much as long as you play really smart with it, but this thing could really use a buff to give it even the slightest amount of tracking to help with actually hitting some enemies that are even slightly slow-walking sideways so it doesn't fly over their shoulder and miss completely. even with it's funkiness, this is easily my favorite spell in the game, and my most utilized in both pve and pvp.

Unga Bunga my Brothers and Sisters.

Submit

I cast rock

Submit

At this stage it is completely outclassed by lightning spear in every way. Travel speed, cast speed, and damage even on the uncharged cast. Still, nothing like throwing a big ass Boulder at your enemies. This should probably do a ton of stagger damage against bosses instead of getting straight damage buffs.

Submit

it's decent but that's about it. Early it's good vs most regular enemies, but vs late game bosses or tougher enemies it's suboptimal even with fully optimized build for bestial incantations.

Submit

Very effective against dual katana users, because rock beats scissors.

Submit

Almost impossible to hit in PvP. Occasionally misses stationary enemies in PvE. Still manages to be one of the most fun incantations to use.

Submit

Throwing rocks has never been this fun!

Submit

Treebeard approves of this spell. Very affective against Saruman

Submit

I like throw rock throw rock good yes. Stunlock good. Minor tracking good too.

(To people asking "does damage scale off faith?" - it's a freaking incantation. If your sacred seal scales off of faith alone, it's going to increase damage. If it scales of int/faith/arcane all of those will increase damage too. I increased my incantation damage much more with a Flock's Canvas Talisman than I did with just increasing my faith with a Two fingers heirloom. Wacky huh?!)

Excellent for using without target lock..it may take practice, but it's range is superb, bulkiness covers a decent area while flying and landing.
Target lock has you throw overhead and the rock goes downward after a short distance, hitting the ground if theyre just a bit out of it's reach.
Ive practiced at Castle Sol near the boss gate, free throwing these at the wolves and big Pheasant and the thing does not dissappear till it hits something solid, far far away.

Submit

Good for staggering bosses and enemies alike. A couple throws will usually leave them open for a riposte.
