Carthus Beacon | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

To get this buff on a knight you need 10 points of investment. Power with in only requires 2
And if you are planning to invest 10 points you can instead invest 11 just into faith and get deep protection + weapon art from sunlight sword.
It should at least have 2 Minutes duration

Perfect with the Old Wolf Curved Sword and both Pontiff Rings.

Did some testing, and I believe I can say with fair certainty that Carthus Beacon buffs the damage of spells, tested with sacred flame, soul stream, and farron flashsword

it's decent i guess, but i don't get why they were so afraid of making it good.
power within gives you more damage, stamina regen, costs less fp, only takes 1 slot, and has lower requirements. even if carthus beacon wasnt nerfed in pvp (why is it anyway?) power within would STILL give you more damage...

Submit

Cannot be used together with Years of Denial. They overwrite each other.

beast blood pellet.

Doing a Nintendo Run with friends and I'm Mario so he's a Melee based Pyromancer with Demon First. The Weapon art is a perfect match for Mario's Whirlwind. I'm curious to see if the weapon art would essentially max out the dmg buff. I'll update when my group finally makes it to Carthus.

Submit

Srry but this is just inferior to power within, and taking 2 slots makes it worse. Power within, on top of the superior danage boost, raises your stamina regen to an absurd rate. It takes life away, but not that much to worry about.

To mercenary early build pve is good.Mercenary swords full dex ,pontyce ring and carthus buff.good?

For those of you still confused over which is better between PW or CB...

PW automatically negates using Lloyd's, because of the health drain.

So, ultimately, it's choosing between using Lloyd's and requiring more investment in attunement or freeing up a ring slot and only needing base attunement.

Sure, PW has more raw damage, but you can use Lloyd's with CB; it's a balanced tradeoff. If Lloyd's is a part of your ring setup, go with CB, and sacrifice a few extra points into attunement. At the end of the day, if you don't like having that extra attunement, I heard Rosaria can help you out with that.

Carthus Bacon :)

It does not stack with Tears of Denial either

Submit

Another beautiful spell ruined due to 2 slot requirement.

Submit

With a +10 blood infused twin daggers and pontiff's right eye ring, the AR quickly jumps from 163 to 217. This is with only the minimum STR/DEX to wield.

Submit

duration?

Submit

still 10 more seconds with Lingering Dragoncrest Ring +2 so dont waste your time if you already have the base ring.

Submit

Wouldn't recommend to use it without pontiff ring.

Submit

This is the Havel's Ring of utility spells.

Submit

does it stack with Replenishment/Bountiful Light/Bountiful Sunlight?

Submit

I tried using it with a curved blade 2H and it's not worth it. It seems to be only worth using with twin weapons tested on both demom scar and sellsword twinblades. The L1 combo fits best though the L2 is not bad but they coun the same. Tested on the giant crab next to cruxifixion wood bonfire.

Submit

does it stack up with sunlight sword buff ?

You should also include that carthus beacon inherently boosts base damage without the need to consecutively attack. It's a small boost, but it's a boost nonetheless and it's a boost you get right out of the gate. As you consecutively attack, this boost increases. A single weapon art from a whip is enough to increase this boost as long as two of the three hits makes contact. A really fun combo is to cast carthus beacon, have both pontiff eyes equipped, use a golden pine bundle on the spotted whip, use the whip's weapon art, then swap to the old wolf curved sword to attack while the attack boosting buffs from the right eye and carthus beacon are still in effect.

Submit

it isnt entirely useless , if your usign a spell sword build and dont have very good armor . this can be quite usefull.

Submit

It's.. Useless. Use Power Within. Summary: If it costed 1 slot this woud be okay. But due to how defense works, the attacks leading up to the full damage bonus take 2/3rds of the duration of the buff, and then you need to recover stamina. Only with a spinny weapon do you get the full bonus for ONE attack, the last one of your second combo. Power Within: Super high stamina regeneration, higher damage instantly that upgrades each one of your attacks, not limited to physical weapons. Even with split damage, you can spam R1, and use Pontiff Left Eye to recover the HP you lose. Voila, efficiency.

Submit

This isn't worth it. 6% is essentially a Throwing knife. If your builds allows it, go ahead. If you're considering investing for this, just run away.

Submit

Terrible, just terrible, same effect as a ring, but requires 2 slots (8 levels in attunement, or a ring slot) int/fai investment (not a problem for SOME builds,) takes 35 fp plus time to cast, but the main problem is it lasts only 30 secs, so after you trigger the buff with attacks you'll have around 15 seconds of +15% ar and depleted stamina bar.

Submit

Does Lloyd's Sword Ring overwrite this buff? or only the visual effect?

Submit

Carthus Bacon is the bees-knees

Submit

Does this work with elemental damage on melee weapon? For example, if you buff your weapon with lightning blade, after 3 hits, the lightning damage is buffed too? And with elemental infusion? if i have a chaos broadsword, after 3 hit the fire damage is buffed?

Submit

Overwritten deep protection.Patch 1.08 regulation 1.22.
i dont konw if it's a bug or intentional.

Submit

It frustrates me that Sacred Oath is a full minute while this is 30 seconds. Either needs duration buff or reduce number of slots required.

Submit

20 % bonus + drains your hp alot better than 15 % bonus if your enemy can't roll

Submit

Anyone tested this with the Pontiff's Right Eye and the Old Wolf Curved Greatsword?

Submit

I can confirm that a +0 Lingering dragoncrest ring adds about 10 seconds while a +1 adds about 15 seconds. I haven't tested +2 as I don't have it.

Submit

this doesn't stack with tears of denial.. too bad

Submit

Does it work with Flame Whip ... etc???

Submit

Does it work with things like fire orb?

Submit

Flash sweat?

Submit

Does this spell work on weapons that are unable to be buffed by resin etc.? Unsure if self buff would act differently vs weapon buff. Anyone know?

Submit

Im wondering if this/bleed would synergize well with spinning attacks like scimitar weapon art or if thatll could as one attack

Submit

The base ring upped duration to 39 seconds, anyone willing to test the better ones?

Submit

It gives you a small immediate damage buff upon cast, and will cause you to do more damage if you land enough subsequent hits in short order, however the spell's utility is greatly hampered by its short duration, which seems to be about 30 seconds.If you really wanted a flynn's ring type build and aim to overwhelm your opponent immediately this may be for you, but otherwise I think you may be disappointed.

Submit

What is the duration? Does it stack with the eye ring of the same effect?

Submit

Does this work with the Short Bow Skill????

Submit

Is this similar to the beasthood mechanic from Bloodborne?
