Elden Ring Stone of Gurranq Notes and Tips

  • Updated to Patch 1.09.1. See Patch Notes for details.
  • Auto-targets when cast. Automatically targets an enemy when casting with no lock (within a set range from the center of the camera). This allows you to increase the range of this incantation spell to easily hit large targets that are out of normal range, such as Elden Beast.
  • You can reduce the recovery time by following up with a different incantation spell.
  • Stone of Gurranq is best paired with Lightning Spear as it has a faster cast time, recovery time, and similar range in distance. If you land a Stone of Gurranq on an enemy you can do a follow-up with Lightning Spear to get a true combo. 
  • Stone of Gurranq can also be paired with Wrath of Gold and Greyoll's Roar as close-range true combos. 
  • If a player is running toward you and dodging your stones, try aiming at your feet. This will make it so that if the opponent stops rolling they will take damage from the AOE hit. This will also guarantee a true combo if followed with another stone.

            Requires 13 FTH, and does more damage than a charged Flame Sling which requires 10 FTH. Fittingly enough, it might be a decent ranged option on a high STR minimal FTH build with Clawmark Seal. In that scenario it will never be as good as on a dedicated incantation build, but it might be a useful ranged tool to have for open world exploration over a bow or crossbow which will add more weight.

              This is great for a pure faith caster build which mains black flame. Big rock for fire immune enemies or high poise enemies like crystallians, cruci knights, gargoyles etc. You can continously throw rocks and stunlock bigger enemies before they rush you like the leo misbegottens.

                In PvP you can use this for true comboes, into a lot of weapons r1 and uncharged r2s. Or if you have max cast speed, fast incants like Lightning Spear (from any range!).

                • Anonymous

                  Legit one of my favourite incants. Once you get the hang of freeaiming it, it becomes an excellent multi-tool for close to all builds with that very generous faith requirement. Love how in a game where you can smite your foes with the power of everlasting dragons, or summon th power of the universe in a magic death ray, one of the best solutions for all your problems is "big rock go BOOM"
                  Truly a prime example of sacred simplicity.

                            As a strength melee build, I was getting smacked by Borealis dragon. Put clawmark+20 on and rode around on Torrent. Chain-unga bunga'd that dragon to victory. That was with 54 strength/15 faith. If that's not results idk what is.

                              This is good on any faith build, not just Str/Faith. I’m doing a Int/Faith build, using the Golden Order seal. I tried it for the first time against Mohg since I needed physical damage and discovered this thing hits like several trucks.

                                One of the best incantations in the game. Huge poise damage, fast chaining, excellent range.

                                Gets a boost from the Clawmark Seal so pairs well with a Str/Faith build.

                                  This incantation is basically the ultimate validation for making some investment in Faith as a Strength build, incredibly fun in its concept and execution

                                      it says it can true combo into lightning spear. do i need to have extra cast speed for it? im trying to test for a strength faith build with mixed results. thanks :)

                                          I guess, until today, no one knew this spell can be "parried". If you hit the boulder before it hits you, it gets destroyed!

                                            This makes the first stage of Mohg completely irrelevent. E Z stagger and ridiculous DPS on a STR/FTH build.

                                              There's no spell in the game that gets as good as Stone of Garrunq if you cast it at max speed (meaning with 70 virtual Dex.) It's fast, deals a long stagger animation, has a surprisingly large hitbox, and has low endlag for comboing at close range. Great followup to Catch Flame.

                                                This received a silent rework. It LOCKS ON enemies even when you havent toggled lockon with your controller stick. This is better for hitting more consisently but has all but disabled skill aiming with this thing in medium / close range. If you're far enough away from an enemy it won't lock on, but it's still unfortunate. I often used my own aim to hit the headboxes of enemies with the stone and now it targets their torso.

                                                  Many say that lightning spear outclasses it and it’s true in many situations like raw damage potential where you can use godfrey icon to benefit from it while stone can’t.

                                                  The lightning spear comes out a bit faster and that allows you to deal with enemies faster (eagles and whatever you may find annoying) while having access to lightning damage which is one of the best you can have in pve.

                                                  But there are three great things that stone of gurranq has.

                                                  It’s the best physical damage projectile from incantations you can have since it’s cheap, has an aoe and stagger you shouldn’t underestimate and goes very far and lasts more than 7 seconds.

                                                  The chain cast renders enemies immobile and lands a ton of damage to the objective you choose. No joke you can kill omens and haligtree knights with chaincast All you need is just an opening.

                                                  And finally it can be free aimed with more ease than other spells. This last thing is probably one of the best things you can have while being surrounded by enemies from many sides.

                                                  Still not better than lightning spear in terms of damage and speed but definitely the best spell design for making it fun to use

                                                      If you're thinking this works wonders on crystallians, it doesn't, this spell does not do strike damage. i went to test it on the spirit crystallians in the haligtree and i was doing 45 damage with this spell before breaking its guard. i had a +10 golden order seal, 55 INT/FTH with 353 Incant Scaling.

                                                      It's silly, as it says up there it does standard damage which is the chop damage that axes do.

                                                        Out of all offensive bestial incantations, this one is the most broken, and bestial sling has been severely nerfed but still has its uses in pvp. Gurranq’s claw and bestial claw on the other hand are not bad spells but their casting speed and damage are outclassed. So a good addition to bestial incantations could be the attack from Gurranq that throws rocks into the air and then fall down

                                                          A couple of things to note on this spell. First of all, I don't think I've seen a more significant example of cast speed being impactful. This spell comes out much faster with high cast speed. It's not necessary for some applications, but it becomes much easier to land in pvp or to stunlock enemies in pve with more cast speed. Secondly, this spell seems to never knock players off ladders, at least not after 5 hits which is as much as it takes to kill at most for me. So in situations where someone tries to make space and then escape by climbing a ladder, thinking that the worst that can happen is they get knocked off of it, you can just spam this and they die and can't do anything about it. It can be thrown quite vertically too, if you still can get a lock on them you can probably hit them. I always bring this spell just for this reason, but it's also pretty good for punishing stormcaller and storm stomp spammers, especially if you have lightning spear to combo with it.

                                                              This spell is insane. Short cart time, high damage, long range, can be chained. The stamina cost is high, which might make this more workable as a long-range incantation for a mixed melee-caster than a pure faith build. Still, with 300 incant, this spell alone made me kill Lichdragon Fortissax on the first attempt without taking any damage. I just stood there, lobbing stones at him and the poor 4-winged fool got obliterated.
