Channeler's Trident is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.

 

Trident of the Six-eyed Channelers, sorcerers who serve Seath the Scaleless in collecting human specimens. Thrusted in circular motions in a unique martial arts dance that stirs nearby allies into a bloodthirsty frenzy.

How to Get / Where to Find the Channeler's Trident

Drops from the Channeler (1% Chance - Undead Parish, Depths and The Duke's Archives)

Notes:

  • Give to Frampt to receive 1 soul.
  • Special: The two-handed heavy attack of the trident increases the attack power of allies by 20% this is a useful weapon before a boss fight when you have summoned Phantoms into your world or to give yourself some breathing room during an invasion.
  • The duration of the 'channelers dance' buff lasts for 30 seconds.
  • The durability also deteriorates fast (80 points per use) when using the special attack, and after three uses the weapon breaks.
  • Boosts AR by 20% to all allies within area of effect. Buff power does not increase as weapon is upgraded.
  • Once the weapon's durability has reached zero, you can still use the R2 to get the "dance" animation but you won't receive the buff.

Farming

Warp to the Duke's Archives bonfire, and make sure the stairs are turned so that you can reach the second Channeler (on the top level in the bonfire room). There are 2 ways, both are equally viable :

  • From the bonfire, go to the central stairway and take the left turn, then take the wooden stairs to the 2nd floor (You'll have to kill on the wooden stairs to get past him faster). Go left, kill the 1st channeler, then take the moving stairs and kill the 2nd channeler. Homeward Bone and repeat. (50 seconds per run)
  • Start from to the prison cell bonfire. Run to the ladder, across the balcony and into the Archives. Kill the 1st channeler, then take the moving stairs and kill the 2nd channeler. Homeward Bone and repeat..(55 seconds per run)

      don't forget that one hand or powerstanced heavy attack hits multiple times the trident spins great for applying poison or bleed in 1 hit if you powerstance two of these

        My very first playthrough on a friend's ps4/psn the channeler in the parish dropped it first try. Now that I have my own ps and I'm trying to platinum the game it won't drop after 30 runs through archives with symbol and covetous ring lol go figure. How do you like that.

          when your in the duke archives but die on the first time: (dsr gods) yeah no trident for you mothertrucker-

            Some guy invaded me in the parish with this thing, he waited for me to kill the channeler, then he rebuffed the hollows with his own trident, waited for me to kill em, then he dropped 4 humanities bowed, and we had a duel where he completely destroyed me 100 to 0. What a legend.

              Got it relatively quick with Symbol of Avarice and Gold Covetous Ring. After the trouble I had with Seath and the MGS, I'm glad.

                Did about 50 runs to kill the two channelers, then on the 50+ run, both of them dropped the weapon ... thanks, I guess.

                  Couldn't believe my luck. It dropped on the 4th Channeler I killed in Duke's Archives. Had 10 humanities and Covetous Gold Serpent ring equipped but when I saw the 1% I thought "yep, let's waste the entire day with this crap" lol

                    The fact that the wiki doesn't even mention if it's a worthwhile weapon outside of the Buff is yet another layer of tragically depressing this weapon is.
                    I ain't getting Knight's honor for this, I'll tell you that much.

                      …aaaaand, just like that, it dropped.

                      Covetous gold ring + 10 humanity. Took me about 8 runs from the Duke’s bonfire.

                          I feel sorry for everyone grinding for this for hours or only getting it on builds that can't use it...I got it off of the very first channeler as a sorcerer.

                            The true final boss of this ****ing game. Not even Four kings took me THAT long. But oh dear god was I happy when I saw that blue light on the wonky lifeless body. Now I use it everywhere on my mage, even take it to the darkroot invasions to dance and buff fh bois. Was worth it. So much worth it.

                                  Went for the farm for Knight's Honor. It was a hell of a chore but the weapon does exist. Keep at it, at least one humanity and gold serpent ring you'll get it eventually.

                                      Pro tip 1: use hidden body to run past the crystal dorks and reach the channeled without any dorks following you.

                                      Pro tip 2: use a stunning attack to stagger them into oblivion and they won't be able to teleport away. I used the titanite catching pole r2

                                      Pro question : does this weapon exist?

                                        Does the buff scale in any way from anything? Can it be extended using Lingering Dragoncrest or boosted by any sorcery equipment such as Crown of Dusk?

                                        • The first ever chaneller in the game dropped this but I died to the hollow swarm, I've 100% percented this game and elden ring yet the chaneller farm is by far the worst and most annoying farm I've ever done, maybe even in all of my gaming

                                            Would never have known you could obtain this weapon if not for needing it for the achievement. Not sure how many times I had to climb up and down that ladder farming for this, but it was a big number. On the other hand, I guess I should be thankful at least one of these things respawns.

                                                  Just got it after about 2.5 hours of non-stop farming. Was getting incredibly annoyed. Put some music on and try to zone out... it helps.

                                                        Find the channeler in the undead perish and kill all the hollows around him. Make your game windowed so it doesnt take 30 seconds to alt tab. Then back up your save next to him and whenever he doesn't drop it quit to the main menu and load your backup. I was oneshotting him with a black firebomb so it only took a few seconds between each kill. ez farming

                                                              • Is bad for PVE and bad for PVP too, is more like a joke weapon. I think I've seen the design for this weapon and the channeler in the Sorcery! books by Jackson. (Miyazaki and the gang were huge fans of all these old phantasy role playing books)

                                                                  • Anonymous

As mentioned previously, align the staircases so that you just run up the flights of stairs to the first channeler and then the second is right up the rotating staircase above. Hidden body or ring of fog will allow you to run past all enemies en route. Pyro +10 with crown of dusk and bellowing dragoncrest ring using black flame two shots and breaks their poise so they don't teleport. You think this farming item is bad? Try farming red titanite slabs.

I've gotten it without farming on a few playthroughs now let's see how long it takes me to get it on a character that can actually use it! Got plans for a lvl 35-60 co-op/invasion build; Magic Mike's the name and dancing and pew pew's the game.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        According to my dumbass calculations, the probability of the trident NOT dropping within those 120 kills is 0.66%

Make sure you have the staircase switched so that it will allow you to access the second pineapple head after killing his brother who is the poster child of the family. Be sure your item discovery is at 410 and have the bonfire fully lit because it represents the rage burning inside your unfulfilled existence. Strip naked and equip whatever weapon will slice that pineapple in one attack (I used the Black Knight Halberd +5, I recommend it as once you press RT/R2 all you gotta do is make sure you lock onto him and the attack will kill em, as you slice at an angle which makes hitting a moving target easier). Be sure you have more than 20 homeward bones in the bank and play some music to keep from going insane. I finally got mine whilst the song “Stobert’s Blues” by I Monster, was playing. May the sun shine upon you and may you have a good harvest fellow undead.
