Where to find Discus of Light

Elden Ring Discus of Light Guide

  • Golden Order Incantation
  • Also affected by Dryleaf Seal
  • Stamina Cost: 20 [outdated as of 1.07, needs updating]
  • Deals holy damage and 4 stance damage.
  • Note: Significantly buffed in Patch 1.07 - FP cost reduced from 9 to 3, cast speed has been increased and the halo is now faster, lasts longer and has more range. In addition, stamina cost has been reduced.
  • The caster can use a spell parry such as Carian Retaliation or Golden Retaliation to deflect a returning discus and proc the effect of the spell parry used.
  • The disc is thrown from the height of the character's face, but for some reason it returns to their thighs, so be wary of low objects and ledges if you're trying to parry it.
  • Casting it will make the player character take a step forward. Some ledges will prevent the caster from over-stepping and falling off. You can use this to guarantee the disc doesn't break on a ledge when you're trying to parry it.
  • On the sending and returning stroke, it passes through enemies and stops upon hitting any obstacle.
  • If it contacts an enemy with a shield, the shield will reduce the damage [Needs testing to determine if it reduces the damage of the disc or the damage taken by the specific enemy, and testing to determine if it's dependent on the shield facing the caster. The phrasing was unclear].
  • Its ability to pass through enemies makes it useful against Golem Smiths, as the disc is able to strike their weak spot on their back during the return flight, similar to the Ambush Shard sorcery.
  • Casting it on horseback it lets Torrent trot, giving you more mobility.
  • While not locked on, it exhibits the obnoxious horizontal dead angle aim "assist" (sabotage) many other projectiles have. If the angle you're firing at is mostly horizontal, it'll turn completely horizontal, making it impossible to hit most things horizontally in front of you, rendering free aiming worthless most of the times.
