Scorpion's Stinger is a Dagger in Elden Ring. It becomes available in the middle of a run.

The Scorpion's Stinger is a dagger fashioned from a great scorpion's tail and glistening with scarlet rot, a ceremonial tool of heretics crafted from the relic of a sealed outer god. It rests in a chest beneath the rot-covered statue in the Grand Cloister on the Lake of Rot. It has thrusting heavy attacks, and every hit builds scarlet rot, which most enemies and bosses are weak to. Its fixed skill, Repeating Thrust, delivers four fast forward thrusts that apply rot quickly and add mobility. It suits a Dexterity character who wants to wear down large foes such as dragons with rot.

Skill

Repeating Thrust costs 7 FP. The wielder twists to build power, then unleashes a quick flurry of four thrusts that deal pierce damage. It costs little FP, though each of the four thrusts can be parried.

"Twist to build power, then unleash a flurry of thrusts."
