Today we are going to be talking about the death ritual spear, which just got buffed. From soft one to buff S tier type weapons, it is one of the best weapons in the entire game, an absolute boss melting machine. We are going to take you through the best Death Ritual Spear build in Elden Ring patch 1.09, listing the stats, talismans, spells, weapons, and skills.
Why Death Ritual Spear Is The S Tier Weapon in Elden Ring 1.09?
Among the many spears players can equip during their journey throughout the Lands Between in Elden Ring, the Death Ritual Spear can be considered as one of the best thanks to its ability to deal high amounts of both physical and magical damage with both normal attacks and with the weapon’s special skill, Spearcall Ritual, which allows its wielder to summon a wave of spectral spears at their target.
The latest patch 1.09 did the buff - increased projectile generation speed. On the picture is going to be a comparison from the last patch to the current patch, this showcasing actually the differences and it is a pretty substantial difference in terms of how fast the projectiles actually do come out. But this thing already had amazing damage, has a really good range, really large aov, they stagger and posture damage potential is absolutely insane, all for only 20 FP. But if you're a person that's upset with the falling star, be sure enough and you actually want that weapon that can do a bunch of posture damage really quickly. This is it, because this one does an enormous amount of poise damage and a stack is very well so you can instantly stun-lock enemies over and over again. It's not going to come out as fast as the Fallingstar Beast Jaw, but the total overall damage you can get with this thing is absolutely insane. And it does have a better moveset because it is a spear which is a much better option compared to a colossal weapon. In particular, this moveset with the death ritual speed does get a better and more unique one than the regular space, because its heavy attack is a nice horizontal side and this one does get 110 critical damage as well to pair nicely with that cool posture break potential that the weapon does get.

We should have 60 intelligence because this weapon and its ash war does scale very well with intelligence despite the descaling that it does have. Use the Clayman’s Harpoon on offend with Ice Spear. You can use Ice Spear as your main projectile option, and when you go up against a large group of enemies or a larger boss, then you can just use the death rituals but just pick them up at a distance, both have very high amounts of damage for a little amount of FP. Use the Jellyfish Shield in offhand because with the latest patch just came with a bug that when you use the buff or the Jellyfish Shield, you can unequip it and still remain the buff .So in the last 30 seconds, 20% more damage, so you pretty much to switch to it, use it, you can take it off if you want to remove it, you're still going to have the buff. For talismans, use the Shard of Alexander for more ash of war damage, use the Magic Scorpion Charm for more magic damage. Carian Filigreed Crest which actually does decrease the FP cost of weapon by 5 FPs, so from 20 to 25. And use a couple of spells, use Terra Magica just as a buff, a Magma Shot just to have different types of damage, and then Night Comet as it's the basic generic ranged option.
