Acquiring the Stone of Gurranq incantation in Elden Ring provides faith-based builds with a reliable, high-impact ranged attack. This Bestial incantation allows players to hurl a massive boulder at enemies, dealing significant physical damage and breaking enemy poise. Understanding where to find Gurranq and how to satisfy his hunger for Deathroot is essential for adding this potent spell to your arsenal.
Locating Gurranq at the Bestial Sanctum
Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman, resides within the Bestial Sanctum located in the northeastern reaches of Dragonbarrow in Caelid. Reaching this area early in the game can be treacherous, but players can bypass difficult terrain by using a secret waygate located behind the Third Church of Marika in Limgrave. Interacting with this portal teleports you directly to the entrance of the Sanctum, granting safe passage to the NPC.
Collecting Deathroot to Exchange for Rewards
To obtain the Stone of Gurranq, players must collect and offer Deathroot items found throughout the Lands Between. Deathroots are typically dropped by Tibia Mariner bosses or hidden inside chests within specific catacombs. Gurranq offers a progressive reward structure, granting different items as you deliver more Deathroot to him over time.
Unlocking the Stone of Gurranq Incantation
The Stone of Gurranq is awarded to players upon delivering their sixth Deathroot to Gurranq at the Bestial Sanctum. Upon receiving the sixth offering, Gurranq bestows the incantation directly into your inventory. Make sure to approach him carefully on subsequent visits, as feeding him Deathroot can occasionally trigger temporary hostility that must be pacified by dealing a small amount of damage.
Stats and Tactical Uses for the Incantation
The Stone of Gurranq requires 13 Faith to cast, making it accessible to a wide variety of character builds. It deals purely physical damage, allowing it to bypass elemental resistances while staggering large opponents effectively. Additionally, the spell can be cast repeatedly in quick succession to pressure tough bosses from a safe distance.
