The Lightning Spear is a Dragon Cult incantation in Elden Ring. It is picked up mid-game, in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Lightning Spear is one of the incantations of the capital's ancient dragon cult, which arose after Godwyn the Golden defeated the ancient dragon Fortissax and befriended his fallen foe. It hurls a golden lightning spear at the target, and charging calls a bolt of lightning down on the point of impact for extra damage. It casts quickly, and enemies tend not to dodge it, so it lands reliably both charged and uncharged. It combos naturally after a Stone of Gurranq hit thanks to its fast cast and similar range, and the Gravel Stone Seal, the Death Knight set and the Godfrey Icon all boost it. It suits dragon cult faith builds looking for a dependable main ranged attack.
Stats
The Lightning Spear summons a spear of lightning and hurls it at foes, and charging calls a bolt down on the point of impact for extra damage. It costs 18 FP, enemies rarely dodge the uncharged version, and the Gravel Stone Seal raises it by 15%.

How to Get Lightning Spear Guide
Lightning Spear is sold for 6,000 runes by Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows once one of them is given the Dragon Cult Prayerbook. If both die before either receives the prayerbook, it cannot be bought in that playthrough.
- Travel to the Artist's Shack in Liurnia of the Lakes.
- Defeat the Leyndell Knight patrolling just south of the shack to get the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.
- Give the Dragon Cult Prayerbook to Brother Corhyn at the Roundtable Hold or Miriel, Pastor of Vows at the Church of Vows.
- Buy Lightning Spear from that teacher for 6,000 runes.
- If that teacher dies later, give their bell bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold to buy it there for the same price.
