The Bolt of Gransax is a Spear in Elden Ring. It is found in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, near the end of a run.

The Bolt of Gransax is a spear whittled from the weapon of the great ancient dragon Gransax, who once rained calamity on the Royal Capital in the only recorded fall of Leyndell's walls, marking the dawn of the war against the ancient dragons. It is a legendary armament found on the giant spear lodged in Leyndell, Royal Capital, and it must be taken before Maliketh, the Black Blade is defeated, since it is absent from Leyndell, Ashen Capital. It deals physical and lightning damage, with 20% more against dragons and 10% more against ancient dragons. Its unique skill, Ancient Lightning Spear, imbues it with red lightning and throws it as a fast, well-tracking projectile that can be charged and knocks back small and medium enemies and bosses. Its lightning scales with Dexterity, so it suits a pure Dexterity build.

Stats

The Bolt of Gransax is one of the nine Legendary Armaments and the only spear with innate lightning damage, 98 physical and 63 lightning at +0. It deals bonus damage to dragons, and Ancient Lightning Spear pairs well with the Shard of Alexander and Godfrey Icon. The demands are steep, with a high Dexterity bar, Somber stones only and no buffs.

Skill

Ancient Lightning Spear costs 25 FP. The wielder imbues the Bolt of Gransax with the ancient dragons' red lightning and hurls it like a javelin, and the weapon reappears in hand after the throw. The projectile deals lightning damage, and holding the button charges the throw for more power, with a fully charged spear able to knock enemies back. The Godfrey Icon boosts the charged throw. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Imbue the armament with the ancient dragons' red lightning, then throw it as a spear. Can be charged to increase its power."
