Unlocking the Carian Piercer Sorcery in Elden Ring

Select Language:

Carian Piercer is a powerful sorcery utilized by the legendary Carian riders, summoning a magical greatsword that mercilessly impales foes. With its instant casting time, enemies are often caught completely off guard.

This sorcery is cleverly concealed within the world of Elden Ring, and players might easily overlook it. To acquire Carian Piercer, you’ll need to defeat a hidden Teardrop Scarab lurking in the gardens of Caria Manor. Let us guide you on how to find and wield this sorcery effectively against your adversaries.

Where to Find Carian Piercer

To obtain Carian Piercer, you must track down and defeat the Teardrop Scarab located within the gardens of Caria Manor.

Caria Manor is situated in the northwestern part of Liurnia, playing a crucial role in the storyline as it opens the door to Ranni’s questline and leads to a significant alternate ending.

As you approach the entrance of Caria Manor, head straight until you reach the first fountain within the garden. Keep an eye out for the Finger enemies that like to conceal themselves in the ground or along the walls.

From the first fountain, make a right turn and head northeast. This will guide you into a narrow passage within the Caria Manor garden. Locate the blue Teardrop Scarab and eliminate it quickly.

If the Teardrop Scarab disappears before you can defeat it, rest at the nearest Site of Grace to make it reappear.

After taking down the Teardrop Scarab, it will drop the Carian Piercer sorcery for your character to acquire.

Carian Piercer: Stats and Requirements

To cast Carian Piercer, you will need a minimum of 27 Intelligence and a staff. Each cast consumes 17 FP and 25 Stamina, and it also requires one spell slot.

This sorcery conjures a magic greatsword that inflicts both magic and stance damage on your enemies. You can extend the attack’s reach and poise damage by charging the spell.

Combining Carian Piercer with the Carian Greatsword creates a two-hit combo, striking with a slash followed by a piercing attack for added versatility.

Additionally, utilizing the Godfrey Icon increases the potency of this spell by 15%, and when combined with the Carian Glintstone Staff, it enhances the spell’s effectiveness by another 15%.
