In Elden Ring, Ancient Dragons have played an important role in the realm of the Lands Between. Following the failed siege on Leyndell, the Royal Capital, two Ancient Dragon sisters - Lansseax and Fortissax, forged friendly relations with humans, imparting upon them their renowned lightning abilities. As a result, players encounter numerous Leyndell Knights throughout the game, proficient in casting lightning spells and wielding lightning-infused weaponry.

One cool thing about FromSoft’s games is that players can learn enemy powers and make special character builds centered around them. If you want to be like a Leyndell Knight, you will need to find the Dragon Cult Prayerbook. It teaches the lightning magic that Ancient Dragons taught the knights. While most of these spells are scattered around, you can get strong ones like Lightning Spear and Honed Bolt quickly with the Dragon Cult Prayerbook.

Here’s how you can get the Dragon Cult Prayerbook in Elden Ring and wield the strength of lightning incantations.

Elden Ring: Dragon Cult Prayerbook Location

To obtain the Dragon Cult Prayerbook, players will have to defeat the Leyndell Knight patrolling down the road south of the Artist’s Shack in Liurnia of the Lakes. While Leyndell Knights are commonly found in the golden lands of the Altus Plateau, one of them can be found wandering in the Liurnia of the Lakes. Interestingly enough, this Leyndell Knight is also carrying the Dragon Cult Prayerbook and is guaranteed to drop it.

To reach the Artist’s Shack in Liurnia, players first need to unlock the Lake-Facing Cliffs site of grace. This grace site lies just outside the Throne Room in Stormveil Castle. Players can opt to defeat Godrick the Grafted or navigate around Stormveil Castle to access the Lake-Facing Cliffs, marking their entry into the Liurnia of the Lakes.

From the Lake-Facing Cliffs site of grace, head east and descend to the pathway below using the large stone slabs on the cliff's edge. Proceed north along this path to locate the Liurnia Highway South grace site, then continue following the path until reaching the Liurnia Highway North grace site. From there, proceed eastward and continue along the path to reach the Liurnia Artist's Shack situated atop a hill. Along the way, players will traverse a swampy forest inhabited by a Tibia Mariner boss; simply run past it to reach the Artist’s Shack.

En route to the Artist’s Shack, players will encounter the Leyndell Knight. While this enemy isn’t among Elden Ring's toughest challenges, players with low investment in Vigor may be susceptible to being one-shotted by its attacks. It is advisable to unlock the grace site at the Artist’s Shack to respawn if the Leyndell Knight proves to be formidable.
