Used by the assassins of the old Lightning Scorpion Charm in Elden Ring enhances the lightning attack power of its wielder. This talisman grants its boon at a cost: decreased defense against physical attacks.
In this guide, we will tell you how to acquire the Lightning Scorpion Charm in Elden Ring and how you can use it against enemies in both PvP and PvE.
Lightning Scorpion Charm Location
Lightning Scorpion Charm can be looted from a dead body hidden in a room locked by an imp statue inside the Wyndham Catacombs.
To reach the Wyndham Catacombs, start from the Erdtree Gazing Hill Site of Grace on the Altus Plateau and go northwest. Follow the path up the hill as the entrance to the catacomb is way above the ground level.
Once you find the entrance of the Catacombs behind the Wyndham Ruins, enter it and progress through the tunnels to the right.
Use the elevator to go down and keep following the path until you reach the lowest level with water. Turn right and defeat the Leyndell Knight. There is a ladder behind his initial location.
Use the ladder to go up and use the Stonesword Key to unlock the imp statue. Enter the room and interact with the dead body behind the coffin to obtain the Lightning Scorpion Charm in Elden Ring.
Lightning Scorpion Charm Stats and Uses
Lightning Scorpion Charm raises the Lightning Attack of its wearer by 12%. However, the wearer also takes 10% more damage from Physical Attacks. This talisman is a dual-edged sword but is well-suited for the players going with an Ancient-Dragon Sorcerer build in Elden Ring.
In PvP, this talisman only increases the Lightning Damage by 8% while you take 15% more Physical Damage from the opponents, making it less desirable unless you are going with a pure magic build. It also works amazingly well with the Bolt of Gransax spear.
You can stack this talisman with Lightning-Shrouding Cracked Tear and any other lightning incantation. It also stacks with Lightning-based Ashes of War. Lightning Scorpion Charm weighs 0.8 and can be sold for 500 Runes to any merchant in the game.
