Decimate Enemies with Ekzykes's Decay: The Ultimate Scarlet Rot Incantation in Elden Ring

 

Are you tired of slogging through boss battles, only to be whittled down by their relentless attacks? Look no further than Ekzykes's Decay, the devastating Dragon Communion Incantation that allows you to unleash clouds of scarlet rot upon your foes from above.

Inflict Devastating Scarlet Rot Damage

Ekzykes's Decay transforms you into a dragon, granting the ability to spew a rot-inducing cloud from the sky. Enemies caught in this noxious mist will suffer the effects of scarlet rot, steadily draining their health over time. With a mere 48 FP cost, this incantation packs a serious punch, making it one of the most efficient ways to whittle down even the most formidable bosses.

Gain the Upper Hand in Challenging Battles

Scarlet rot is a double-edged sword in Elden Ring, equally dangerous to players and enemies alike. By using Ekzykes's Decay, you can turn this threat to your advantage, keeping a safe distance while your foes succumb to the rot. This strategy can be particularly effective against bosses, allowing you to overcome challenging encounters without ever getting close enough to be hit.

Acquire the Spell at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion

To obtain Ekzykes's Decay, you must first defeat the Decaying Ekzykes, a world boss located north of the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid. Once the dragon is slain, return to the Cathedral and purchase the incantation for 2 Dragon Hearts. Keep in mind that you'll need a Faith of 23 and Arcane of 15 to wield this powerful spell.

Master the Timing and Positioning

While Ekzykes's Decay is undoubtedly powerful, it does have a drawback: a lengthy wind-up time. Getting hit during the casting animation will cancel the attack, so maintaining your distance and timing your casts carefully is crucial. With practice, you'll learn to position yourself for maximum effect, raining down rot upon your enemies from above.

Don't let challenging bosses stand in your way any longer. Embrace the power of Ekzykes's Decay and let the scarlet rot do the work for you. Acquire this devastating incantation at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion and turn the tide of battle in your favor today.
