Pest Threads | Elden Ring Wiki

Seeing Elden Beast's HP melting to 60% not even 10 seconds in with just 2-3x uses of this incant is never not funny to me. And have I mentioned that this requires barely any stat investment at all? Wtf were they thinking when they were designing this incant, lol

Submit

why doesn't this have rot and/or bleed build up? unusable

Submit

Absolute GOAT incantation against any large enemy, stand underneath an Ancient Dragon target the head and watch this absolutely shred it to pieces

Submit

Golden Epitaph gives each thread an extra +20 holy damage (:

Submit

I'M surprised these don't add up scarlet rot

Submit

Can't believe they nerfed everything but not this.

Submit

I've known for a long time this was a contender for most OP spell in the game, but I just used it for the first time recently. Yeah, this thing is insane.

Submit

God damn it, I killed Millicent and Gowry early for some petty loot I think.

Submit

Imagine being a really bad player and finding this Incantation and trying it for giggles only to find out it's completely broken for a lot of boss fights. I took out the rot dragon in 5 hits... 5!!! Then I went and killed Radahn without summons, which I've never done before, before he could even enter his second stage.

Submit

"Secretes countless sticky threads" it's 25... animation-wise anyway

Submit

This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come

Submit

Does he have this in his bell bearing if you kill him early

Submit

how generous of fromsoft to give this such a nonexistent faith requirement so that every build can experience the joy of splooging dragons to death

Submit

Bug sponk.

Just change the "o" of sponk to "u", and it will make all senses

Submit

...also, why has no one mentioned that this mofo can and will PICK YOU UP AND DROP YOU IN THE FIRE BOWL LMAO

Devs decided Astels' instakill grab wasn't enough cheese for one game?

Submit

The furnace golems do NOT care about Poise damage.

They do their fake stance break at certain health thresholds. It is overwhelmingly likely that the reason this incant works on them so well is their huge size means a ton of threads hit them, they have tracking so they don't miss, and some folks have been able to hit both legs at the same time by targeting the further one then shooting them through the near one; so it's doing a ****ton of damage, compared to having to dance around chipping away with melee swings or whatnot.

Submit

only way i have been able to beat any furnace golems so far, just point blank pest threads with all the good talismans

Submit

That's how a kindred of rot gives you a wellcomming bug-cake. They give you a special facial care with that, they release it til the last drop on your face.

Submit

Now I am become death, the destroyer of dragons

Submit

Perfect with Melina Great Rune. 1 cast from Pest Thread can heal all your rally damage (if they all hit). Perfect with all big boss fight, from dragons to avatars. Anything with hitbox bigger than Mogh and Morgott then it will wreck them.

Not as powerful as normal single shot incant like Frenzy Burst when fighting human sized mobs.

Submit

if I can find a pink coat then the donquixote doflamingo build is possible

Submit

While fighting against Astel, I discovered that this Incantation causes that once it tries to teleport and you throw it at it, it doesn't do it, staying in its place.

More tests need to be done but it's something strange and useful at the same time.

Submit

Works with dancer charm. Also, dragon communion talisman weighs 0

Submit

Your answer to counter-only attackers in pvp. Forces out of neutral. It's a tad FP hungry though compared to rock sling. Maybe even the new fire serpent incantation is an option.

Submit

Anybody that claims this does high stance damage against Furnace Golems is a liar, tried 10 full incantations and no stance break

Submit

Pest-Thread Spears at home

Submit

hello to those who wanted to take down furnace golems without taking 10 minutes but forgot how to get this spell

Submit

Elden Ring nutty supprise

Submit

how do i optimize this for better dmg?

Submit

NUT!

Submit

This saved me when I thought all was lost tryna take down Elden Beast on NG+7.

Submit

Nut into your enemies!

Submit

High level Faith Caster Will always resort to jizz shooter when all else fails.

Submit

why doesn't this do piercing damage?

Submit

Back shots for elden beast

Submit

one of very few incantation that can kill rykard without using serpent spear.

Submit

"Uh, Mohg? You've been staring at Miquella for a while now."

Submit

Since it deals Physical Damage, it will stack with any Spell, Talismans, Consumable or Skill that's taken into account. How scary.

Submit

wish it had more range

Submit

This turns Astel into dust

Submit

You can block this spell with a shield since it deals standard physical damage, saved me a few times in arena

Submit

:)

Submit

best spell in the game

Submit

"a man cannot kill a god"

"All-Knowing" my ass the idiot didn't even consider the possibility that gods are vulnerable to weaponized coom

Submit

As much as I like the giant shredder spell. I wish this had a unique mechanic to it. It says sticky threads. So I originally thought it would stick into the enemy and cause a debuff like lower movement speed or a dot effect that's more or less permanent but kinda weak and can stack and deals physical instead of a status.

Submit

The coom blaster

Submit

This is a great side spell on a 80/80 INT/FTH holy caster build. The order seal gets the highest incant scaling in the game and you are already using incantation damage increasing talismans, so basically a min/maxed holy caster is without any changes minmaxed for this spell, which is very useful for killing bosses that are very resistant to holy.

Submit

Azur's staff in the offhand is very strong on this one, the cast speed boost is very noticeable, there's no weapon that boosts this incants damage anyways, AND the increased FP cost does not even apply to incantations! That makes it the perfect offhand weapon for a Pest Threads build, can only recommend.

Submit

Pest shreads

Submit

This is the sticky white stuff of elden ring

Submit

Offer seed

Submit

Btw, if you didn’t go back to Gowry after giving Millicent the prosthesis and you finished her quest line, you can kill him and get it from his bell bearing.

Submit

Stars of splooge

Submit

Is there faith scaling on this incantation???

Submit

Beyond the fact it melts large bosses, it has less stamina cost than stone of gurranq and can also be chaincasted. But better do it from a decent distance because its stance damage isn’t as great as the stone

Submit

Let me just launch countless sticky threads over that dragon's face

Submit

So we have staves that boost whopping 2 (duo) spells but no seal with boost to Kindred of Rot spells, cmon Big M better give us one in dlc

Submit

Maximum Penetration

Submit

Shard spiral but for faith users

Submit

This is like the locust preacher version of A Call Beyond.

Submit

This is your go to incantation for standard damage in case something resists both fire and holy

Submit

when you get to mohg on your incantation build and find out he has 80 fire res, pest threads will delete him before he can even transition when buffed with shabriri, vow, jelly shield and the right talismans

Submit

delete button for large size enemies

Submit

I was NOT ready for how much this would trivialise Radahn. Even on NG+.

Submit

ambatukam

Submit

busted against big enemies like dragons, giants, tree fatasses and the like.

it's not that good against anything else, but when it's good it's absolutely insane. an absolute must have

Submit

Fans: we need an incantation thats not Fire Nor Holy!
Fromsoft: "Sure, i got you, fam."

Submit

lord have mercy I'm bout to BUSTTTTTTTTTTT

Submit

cant believe i slept on this spell damn

Submit

If you think this doesn’t do a lot of damage, try casting it locked onto a dragon’s head while you’re standing behind one of its rear legs.

If the point you’re lock onto is CLOSER than the maximum range of the spell, then you’re not getting it to pass through enough damage detection zones.

I was pretty septic with pest threads, the few time i used it it was very underwhelming, after reading some comments here i tried again and now i understand. With the Clawmark seal +19 and 60str it blasted the Black Blade Kindred and the dragon on the bridge not far from the bestial sanctum, the trick was to get really close, i only used pest threads and did one riposte on each with my weapon, it's staying in my memorized spells from now on

Submit

It works well against any red wolf.
Pest Threads and Night Maiden's Mist are my favorite magic in the game.

Submit

This thing's got me shooting ropes.

Submit

"Do you have an interest in rot incantations?" sounding like a door to door salesman

Submit

Elden Beast? More like Elden Deceased!

Submit

9 out of 10 big Elden Ring bosses HATE this one simple trick!!!

Submit

however, at the moment of this spell's purchase, the player will have already found better alternatives

How could you possibly know that... Keep your opinions to yourself and just include the information relating to the specific subject.
almost every page has irrelevant info and opinion.

Submit

The best cosmos shark slug killer, low-key yet op as hell on most big bosses.

9/10 incant, only downside is range.

Submit

Pest Threads is a weird incantation. It's cheap. It's FP efficient and it does a ridiculous sum of damage, once you realize that you just need an S scaling Seal. You don't even need to lock-on an enemy, just shred the Dragon(s) with it. You'll get what I mean.

Submit

ambatukam type beat

Submit

Can someone tell me why I can't seem to use it?

Submit

Does it deal holy damage or something else?

Submit

"sticky threads before caster"

Submit

Tested this today on my faith build for the first time today, first Fire Giant then Adula. Comments state that you have to get really close but it does annihilate super huge bosses from close. Giant was too mobile but staying right under Adula did 50% in two casts with 80 faith

Submit

Underrated spell if you're looking to cheese big bosses

Normally when you hit anything in ER, it adds that specific attack to its list of things to not take damage from again ( so you don't hit the same target multiple times with one swing ), when it comes to big bosses, each of their separate internally labelled body parts counts as a unique entity to hit, since this spell has several projectiles that keep going until they reach the "center" of a target, one thread can hit up to several times for a crazy amount of damage. Astel, Fire Giant, and Elden Beast weep when they see you use this

Submit

The real reason they sealed the outer god of rot.

Submit

There is a hidden feature of this spell that increases its utility by quite a lot. While on your horse, Torrent, this spell once locked onto the enemy does not care for where your character is pointed. Meaning, an enemy can be directly behind you, once you cast this skill it will go directly for them, unlike most other skills which require your character to to some degree be pointed towards your locked-on target.

This in my opinion significantly boosts its usefulness is PVE, and makes it excellent for Mongol-Horse-Archering any enemy while running away from it. The only downside is the absurdly low range, which I wish would get buffed.

Is this good against placidusax?

Best incantation for if Spiderman was a tarnished.

This incantation will wreck any beastie larger than a house. You will need to be right up in its face for maximum devastation, but the sheer power of it is worth the risk.

You know what's really in this seal in my hand?
MEGA THREAD BLAST!

Submit

Fire giant, Elden Beast, Rykard,Astel, you name it, if is big it will destroy it.

If used for rykard equip the flamedrake talisman and the fire resistant incantation sold by corhyn and go stand next to him, i had erdtree seal (+10) and 70 faith + 10 from wondrous physick and opaline hard tear, i was taking negligible damage from fire, second phase is harder but as long as he doesn't use the fire skull attack (rykard rancor) its easy, just dodge the jump and gg, and dont forget to boost it with golden vow, flock canvas talisman and radagon icon to spam it faster.

Just watched a video where a buffed up faith caster killed Elden Beast in under 10 seconds using this. Rofl

Submit

When your Faith/arcane build needs to kill Elden Beast but you can't use Reduvia or Rotten Breath.

Submit

confirming the pest threads hype vs Elden beast. i think it took around 10 casts with a max upgrade erdtree seal with 78 faith @ level 150. golden vow may or may not have been active XD
