BoltStone is a type of Upgrade Material in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). Boltstone, a modified version of titanite. Employ it to infuse weapons with lightning or to grant lightning resistance to shields. Fabled tales speak of sorcerers at the Melfian Magic Academy attempting to instill titanite with diverse elements, but their endeavors are thought to have met with failure.

Sorcerers at the Melfian Magic Academy once attempted to imbue titanite with various elements, but are said to have failed. Someone must have succeeded though; what else would explain this stone?

The Crystal Lizard near Tark in Shaded Ruins DOES drop a Boltstone in SoTFS. Not sure why this page says otherwise.

Got 2 Boltstones from the Basilisks in Things Betwixt (the ones you get to after getting rid of stone statue) in less than 5 minutes. Used Traveling Merchant Hat, Watchdragon Parma and Rusted Coin for more item find. All of these can be acquired really early. Maybe I got super lucky, but they definitely drop there. I was wondering because this page does not advice to farm the Boltstone in Betwixt.
The drop rate from basilisks in shaded woods is indeed very rare. They drop loads of other infusion stones though.

A friend once told me that a lightning infusion increases the poise reduction of a weapon. Is this true?
