The Shadow Bait is an incantation in Elden Ring, from the Two Fingers school. It is a mid-game find.

Shadow Bait is an incantation of the Two Fingers' servants, the Roundtable assassins, and those beguiled by its shadow are said to see a hated foe within it. It throws a pale gold shadow that lures nearby human-sized enemies such as knights, soldiers, demi-humans and Omens and draws their aggression, and it can be cast while moving or crouching. Its long throwing range sets it apart from the White Shadow's Lure skill, letting a caster pull enemies away from a group or out of position from afar. It only affects medium or smaller humanoid foes. It suits stealth builds and Confessors who like to split up groups and set up backstabs.

Effect

Throws a pale gold shadow that lures human-sized foes and draws their aggression; it can be cast while moving or crouching. Each cast costs 15 FP and 14 stamina and takes up one memory slot.

Notes

Has no effect on bosses.

"Incantation of the Two Fingers' servants, who once served as the assassins of the Roundtable Hold. Creates a pale gold shadow before the caster, luring foes of human build and attracting their aggression. This incantation can be cast while in motion or crouching, and will still affect foes that are already in a combat state. It is said that those beguiled by the shadow see within it a hated foe."
