Channeler's Trident  | Dark Souls 2 Wiki

"A trident wielded by an old sorcerer. The tip is sharpened so smoothly that it suggests a degree of madness. Use strong attack to perform a power channeling dance, the madness of which boosts the morale of nearby allies. Effect: attack boost (Two-handed strong attack)"
Weapon Type:	Spears	Critical:	130	Weight:	4.0
Attack Type:	Thrust	Auxiliary:	-	Durability:	40
Left Hand:		Enchantable:	Yes	Special Attack:	Yes

Acquired From

Dyna and Tillo's crow nest by giving them a Petrified Something (Common), Smooth & Silky Stone (Rare) or Small Smooth & Silky Stone (Very Rare).

Hints and Tips:
Two-Handed Strong Attack's boost:

• Seems to do a 25% damage boost. (tested with the Trident)
• Seems to do a 5% damage boost to lightning miracles. (tested with Great Lightning Spear and Sunlight Spear)
• Does affect Sorceries and Hexes.
• Affects all nearby allies.
• Uses 10 durability.
• The boost lasts about 15 seconds.
• Shows up as a faint orange sparkle/glow on affected players.
• Only triggers near the end of the dance.
• You can cancel the dance in the early frames with a roll, but no boost will occur even though you lose durability.

One-Handed Strong Attack:

• The tip of the trident spins while hitting an opponent, hitting them three times. (effectively hitting them for three times the damage)
• Works well with poison and bleed, especially if paired with Sanctum Soldier Gauntlets + Crest of the Rat or Shadow Gauntlets + Crest of Blood depending on the auxiliary infusion you picked.
• Be warned that this attack is quite susceptible to being parried, and can potentially be parried and hit the opponent once or twice at the same time. (I once killed a player and got parried by him in the same single attack. He fell over dead as I sat motionless on the ground)
• Has remarkably good directional control and can be used to hit opponents who roll to your side.

Rolling Attacks:

• Both the one-handed and two-handed rolling attacks will also cause the head to spin and hit the target three times.
• The one-handed rolling attack deals less damage and costs less stamina (minus the roll cost) than the one-handed R2.
• Think of the one-handed rolling attack as the lighter longer-ranged version of the one-handed R2.
• Works well with poison and bleed.

PvP

• The two-handed buff will affect friendly mobs in the Grave of Saints and in the Door of Pharos if you are in the Rat King Covenant.
• Infusing this weapon with poison and using the one-handed R2 stacks poison extremely effectively- especially so when combined with the Rat Covenant Ring.
• Pairing this weapon with the Stone Ring is highly recommended, as it will eat through an opponent's stamina very quickly if they are blocking with a shield.
• Pairing this weapon with the Bracing Knuckle Ring is recommended because it has very low durability, and using the one-handed R2 attack will deplete durability quickly.
• Using the buff dance is very risky and only gives a small, temporary damage increase while decreasing the weapon's durability. Only use the dance if you are in a place where it will not get interrupted, and in a place where allies will receive benefit.
• This weapon might be more effective if used as a poker in the left hand; using the one-handed R2 with its long range has little risk of counter-attack- give it a try! (Thanks for the tip. This strategy worked well to help me get Bleed build-up on opponents, especially when the weapon in my right hand also caused bleeding.)
• While not technically beneficial, the two-handed R2 makes for a very satisfying goofy victory taunt, especially when combined with silly armour.
