The Dragon Cult Prayerbook is an essential item in Elden Ring, granting access to exclusive sorceries bestowed by the ancient dragons. While many spells and incantations in the game can be found by exploring or defeating specific enemies, some of the more potent ones are hidden within books scattered throughout the Lands Between.
This guide will walk you through the process of acquiring the Dragon Cult Prayerbook and reveal how to unlock the powerful Lightning Incantations it contains.
Where to Find the Dragon Cult Prayerbook
To obtain the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, you need to defeat a lone Leyndell Knight stationed south of the Artist’s Shack in Liurnia of the Lakes.
Start from the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace. After defeating Godrick the Grafted and exiting Stormveil Castle, this will be the first Site of Grace you encounter.
Head east and drop down, using the stone slabs as stepping stones. Continue heading north until you reach the Artist’s Shack, which is marked on your map. Avoid going left, as that will lead you towards Liurnia of the Lakes.
The Artist’s Shack is located directly east of the Raya Lucaria Academy and west of the Divine Tower of Liurnia.
Once you reach the Artist’s Shack, unlock the Site of Grace and proceed south to find the Leyndell Knight patrolling the area. You can recognize these knights by their distinctive golden armor covering them from head to toe.
The Leyndell Knight is a challenging foe, especially if you’re at a lower level with limited health. This knight wields a spear and utilizes Lightning Incantations that can easily defeat unprepared players.
To increase your chances of success, try to backstab the Leyndell Knight by approaching with stealth. Maintain your distance and heal whenever necessary. After defeating the knight, you will receive the Dragon Cult Prayerbook as a guaranteed drop.
How to Utilize the Dragon Cult Prayerbook
To make use of the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, you must give it to either Brother Corhyn or Miriel, the pastor of vows.
You can locate Corhyn at Roundtable Hold and Miriel, who is a turtle pope, at the Church of Vows, situated directly north of the Artist’s Shack. Speaking with Miriel will provide you with a wealth of lore.
Once you present the book to either individual, they will allow you to learn the incantations found within the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, which includes three Lightning Incantations.
If you’re building a sorcerer character with a focus on the Golden Order, it’s advisable to acquire all three incantations from the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.
