Beast Claw is an incantation spell in Elden Ring. It is one of the Bestial Incantations.
Description[]
Incantation taught by Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman.
Creates beast claws that rend the land with shockwaves. Charging enhances potency.
This incantation represents the fury of Gurranq, his bestial nature returned, as much as it does his restless agitation.
Acquisition[]
Quest Item: Bestial Sanctum, Greyoll's Dragonbarrow
- Beast Claw is rewarded from Gurranq after giving him the fifth Deathroot. (If Gurranq is hostile after consuming the fourth Deathroot, he may be calmed down by reducing his HP.)

Charging the spell increases the Attack Power to 222% of Incantation Scaling.

Strategies[]
- Slash is a very give-and-take damage type, as naked and cloth-wearing enemies (such as Omens and Margit, the Fell Omen) are weak or less resistant to the damage type, while armored and scaled or rock-like enemies (such as Banished Knights, Dragons, and Sentry Stones) are far more resistant to it than other Physical damage types.
