Elden Ring: How To Get The Dragon Cult Prayerbook

The Ancient Dragon Cult knew powerful lightning spells, and Elden Ring players can learn a few of these Incantations from the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.

Elden Ring's Dragon Cult Prayerbook

There are a ton of powerful Incantations that Tarnished players can learn in Elden Ring, but many of the most useful basic spells can be unlocked with Prayerbooks like the Dragon Cult Prayerbook. The Dragon Cult Prayerbook contains a handful of versatile lightning Incantations, and fortunately, players will be able to pick this item up relatively early in the game. However, since the book drops from a seemingly random enemy in the vast Lands Between, it can be easy to miss if players don’t know where to look.

Unlike Elden Ring’s Sorceries, which scale with Intelligence, Incantations scale with Faith and require a Sacred Seal to cast. Players can cast Dragon Cult Incantations with any type of Sacred Seal, but the Gravel Stone Seal will boost their effectiveness by 10%. Players can only memorize as many Incantations as they have Memory Slots, but more Memory Slots can be unlocked with Memory Stones. However, there’s no limit to the amount of Incantations players can learn, and they can swap the Incantations they have memorized by resting at any Site of Grace.

Elden Ring players can give the Dragon Cult Prayerbook to either of the game’s “learned cleric” tutors in order to unlock the ability to buy the spells inside. Brother Corhyn is likely the first tutor that players will encounter since he can be found next to the main Site of Grace in Roundtable Hold, which players should reach early on in the game. However, players can also visit Miriel, Pastor of Vows in the Church of Vows, which can be found in Liurnia of the Lakes.

Elden Ring - Where To Find The Dragon Cult Prayerbook

Elden Ring's Dragon Cult Prayerbook drops from a knight near Liurnia's Artist's Shack.

The Dragon Cult Prayerbook can be found near the Artist’s Shack Site of Grace in Elden Ring’s Liurnia of the Lakes region. On the main road to the south, players will come across a patrolling knight that drops the Prayerbook when he’s defeated. The Church of Vows is relatively close to this location as well, so players can simply pay Miriel a visit to unlock this Prayerbook’s Incantations once they’ve obtained it.

Elden Ring’s Dragon Cult Prayerbook unlocks the “Lightning Spear,” “Honed Bolt,” and “Electrify Armament” Incantations. As its name suggests, “Lightning Spear” simply hurls a bolt of lightning towards foes in front of the caster. “Honed Bolt,” on the other hand, summons a bolt of lightning to strike foes from above. “Electrify Armament” enchants the caster’s right-hand weapon with lightning damage, allowing them to deal more damage to heavily armored foes and dragons.
