Forspoken: How to Complete the Scatter Shot Spellcraft Challenges

Published January 27, 2023

If you love the Scatter Shot ability with Frey’s Magic in Forspoken but have no idea how to level it up via the Spellcraft challenges, we’ve got a quick guide to walk you through it.

How to Complete the Scatter Shot Spellcraft Challenges

The Scatter Shot Spellcraft challenge is a bit confusing because single shots with the skill do not count towards the damage you need to inflict at Level 1 of the Spellcraft Challenge. To complete the quest, hold down R2 (left-click on keyboard) and then release it to unleash the powerful piercing attack. Doing this on a large group of enemies should complete the task at all 3 levels.

The best location to complete this quest are areas with a lot of enemies, like Dianthus Wood. See our Spellcraft Challenges guide for more tips on completing the challenges quickly.

Here are the requirements for all the Scatter Shot Spellcraft challenges:

Level 1: Build up power and damage enemies (0/10000).
Level 2: Build up power and strike enemies within 60 seconds (1/1500).
Level 3: Inflict piercing attacks on 2 enemies (0/20).

Completing the challenges will increase the Scatter Shot’s damage and provide +1 to Frey’s Magic.

If you are having trouble on Level 2 of the mission, you are not doing enough damage to the enemy in a 60-second timespan. The description for the quest is a little confusing, but you need to inflict 1,500 points of damage to an enemy within 1-minute of initially engaging them.

If you are too low-powered or don’t have enough Purple Magic, you may not do enough damage to complete the challenge in the time allotted. We recommend focusing on a large group of mobs from far away to get the most damage out of your charge.
