📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: Check out my other mod, which increases the range of most of the ranged spells and weapon skills in the game, including the ones covered by this mod.
This mod massively increases the maximum range/travel distance of the 3 thrown lightning projectiles in the game: Lightning Spear, Knight's Lightning Spear, and Ancient Lightning Spear (Bolt of Gransax weapon skill), as I found it rather aggravating how my lightning spears in the base game would often vanish into thin air after flying for around 20 meters, making both incantations only usable at relatively close ranges (Ancient Lightning Spear travels much faster than the two incantations, but it would still abruptly cut off and disappear just slightly before the max lock-on range.)
Detailed changes:
Lightning Spear now travels 4 times as far (Bullet Duration changed from 0. 77s to 3. 08s)
Knight's Lightning Spear now travels 4 times as far (Bullet Duration changed from 0. 77s to 3. 08s)
Bolt of Gransax's weapon skill, Ancient Lightning Spear, now travels 4 times as far (Bullet Duration changed from 0. 50s to 2. 00s)
They'd actually exceed the max lock-on range with the value set even below 2x default. I just set it higher because it looks cool when you throw them off into the sky and see them flying for a long time. You could try sniping very large enemies such as golems from very far away, but it'd be very hard to land any hits without locking on.
Their travel speeds, damage, and all other stats and functionality remain the same as default.

It's a simple quality-of-life tweak for Elden Ring players who want to hit distant targets more reliably. With 41 endorsements and 969 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated utility mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a common annoyance: lightning spears falling short at range
- Tiny, focused mod that does exactly what it says without extra bloat
- Decent download count (969) for a niche utility, showing real demand
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects three specific abilities — if you don't use them, this mod does nothing for you
- Last updated in October 2024 — may not be compatible with future Elden Ring patches
For Elden Ring faith builds and Bolt of Gransax users who are tired of their lightning attacks fizzling out just short of the target. If you rely on ranged lightning damage in PvE or PvP, this mod gives you extra reach. Skip it if you don't use these specific spells or weapon skills.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original game files before replacing anything, especially if you're on PC with anti-cheat disabled.
- If you're using other mods that alter spell parameters, load this one last to ensure its changes take effect.
- Test the new range in Limgrave against a distant enemy to get a feel for the increased travel distance.
