The Gravel Stone Seal is a Sacred Seal in Elden Ring. It only turns up late in a run, in Leyndell, Royal Capital.

The Gravel Stone Seal is made from Gravel Stone thought to be an ancient dragon scale, and it enhances the Dragon Cult incantations of the Royal Capital, since both the seal and lightning are imbued with gold. A spear-wielding Leyndell Knight near the dragon's foot outside the Fortified Manor in Leyndell, Royal Capital drops it, and it can no longer be obtained once the story moves past Crumbling Farum Azula. It boosts Dragon Cult incantations such as Lightning Spear, Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike, Fortissax's Lightning Spear and Death Lightning by 15%, about 32% with two. It is slightly stronger than the Erdtree Seal at 60 Faith, and it suits a Faith lightning caster.

Stats

The Gravel Stone Seal stays only a few points behind the strongest pure Faith seal until the low 70s, and its 15% boost, or 32.25% with two copies, makes it the strongest single seal for damaging Dragon Cult incantations. Its modest requirement covers most of a lightning build early. Electrify Armament gains nothing from the boost, so it is a seal for thrown lightning rather than weapon buffs.

Dropped by a specific spear-wielding Leyndell Knight, found just to the left when standing outside of the front gate to the Fortified Manor in Leyndell, Royal Capital.

Notes

"Sacred seal made from Gravel Stone thought to be an ancient dragon scale. Enhances Dragon Cult incantations of the Royal Capital. The worship of the ancient dragons does not conflict with belief in the Erdtree. After all, this seal, and lightning itself, are both imbued with gold."
