Great Soul Dregs is a dark sorcery in Dark Souls III: The Ringed City.
In-Game Description
- A sorcery that fires great dark soul dregs that have stewed for ages, far within the deep.
- This sorcery is the highest form of Deep Soul.
- Some of the murkmen who rise from the depths are possessed by soul dregs, which have a grave likeness to the human form.
Availability[]
Found in The Dreg Heap. After finding the first Lothric Knights in the area, players can exit to the left of the small chapel and into a building infested with Murkmen. At the end of the corridor is an illusory wall that reveals a staircase to the second floor. The spell can be found at the end of the last room, guarded by numerous Dregs-possessed Murkmen.
Effect[]
Conjures a large soul dreg which accelerates upon cast and homes in on its target, exploding and inflicting 2.55 times the Spell Buff of the catalyst as Dark damage upon impact. Certain Dark catalysts will boost the damage output of this spell, and allow the wielder to take advantage of Faith scaling.
Use[]
Single player[]
The most powerful member of the Deep Soul family, though in appearance it resembles a singular, massive orb similar to those of Affinity. This spell deals massive damage, albeit not as efficient as Great Deep Soul in terms of damage-to-FP cost.
Though it has no piercing abilities and will not go through enemies that are lined up, it may indeed hit multiple enemies if they are sufficiently clustered as it has a blast radius.
Online gameplay[]
Great Soul Dregs is essentially the Dark analogue to Crystal Soul Spear, in that it takes longer to cast but inflicts significantly more damage. Damage-wise, its damage output rivals Crystal Soul Spear when boosted by the proper catalyst, but it is also significantly harder to dodge due to its slow travel speed and moderate tracking. As well, it has a relatively fast casting animation, though still slower than Deep Soul, meaning that it does not require Sage Ring in order to cast properly.
Its sheer size makes it hard to roll away from in tight quarters, as rolling towards it will likely result taking the full blast of the spell head-on.
