Shadow Bait

Shadow Bait is an incantation spell in Elden Ring. It is one of the Two Fingers incantations.

Description[]

Incantation of the Two Fingers' servants, who once served as the assassins of the Roundtable Hold.
Creates a pale gold shadow before the caster, luring foes of human build and attracting their aggression. This incantation can be cast while in motion or crouching, and will still affect foes that are already in a combat state.
It is said that those beguiled by the shadow see within it a hated foe.

かつて円卓の暗部として
二本指に仕えた者たちの祈祷

前方に薄金の影を送り
人の類を引き寄せ、攻撃を誘う
戦闘状態であっても効果があり
足を止めずに、またしゃがんだままでも使用できる

その影は、憎き仇に見えるのだという
