  • **WARNING MAKE SURE YOU TALK TO ALL MAIN NPCS AND ADVANCE THEIR QUESTS (Particularly Theollier and Moore) BEFORE APPROACHING THE SHADOW KEEP** (Approaching the Keep Breaks a Seal that Advances NPC Questlines). The Impenetrable Thorns Sorcery in Elden Ring is a brand-new Sorcery in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Impenetrable Thorns spell summons columns of the Scadutree's (Shadowtree's) impenetrable thorns from the ground.
    It's counted as a Thorn Sorcery for Alberich's Robes and Staff of the Guilty.
    "Sorcery of those who abandoned the practice of incantations after devout faith rewarded. them with only despair. Summons the Scadutree's impenetrable thorns from the ground. This sorcery can be used repeatedly. The image of the twisted Scadutree is an edict: Denounce their ways. Do them harm. For they have abandoned us."

      @ForceFlowLyric Haven’t done a ton of testing but I’ll give the Maternal Staff a shot. Just went with the staff of the guilty because of the S-Teir faith scaling and 20% to Thorn Sorcery. I’ll compare some staffs early this week on a few Bosses. Thanks for the comment, and Good Hunting!

      @b-proggy7242 Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you caught the videos true meaning! Sure you could head all the way to the Mesmer fight and turn around, but I really put this video together so you could get the impenetrable thorns sorcery (after talking to all the NPCs you need to prior to breaking the seal of course) before facing any bosses. That way you could use a nasty thorn build against some of the tougher bosses which makes life pretty easy. Thanks again for the comment; stay safe out there, and Good Hunting!

    Ty for video! Is there a video showing the build you use here?😊

    • @mid40sgamer
      @mid40sgamer  Pƙed 16 dny +3

      @1_Sanguine_1 Anytime! The build was actually something I just threw together for the video. I could make one I suppose but I’m sure there are a few videos out there that revolve a build around thorns.
      Setup for the Video:
      Staff of the Guilty (as seen in video)
      Alberich’s Pointed Hat - (Strengthens Thorn Sorcery)
      Alberich’s Robes - (Strengthens Thorn Sorcery)
      Lord of Blood’s Exultation - (Blood loss in vicinity raises attack power)
      Graven Mass Talisman - (Greatly Raises the Potency of Sorceries)
      Blue Dancers Charm - (Raises attack power with low equipment load)
      Radagon Icon - (Shortens spell casting time)
      You can also add the Maternal staff in you’re off hand for even more damage.
      Hope that helps! Good Hunting out there!!

      @mid40sgamer  Pƙed 16 dny +3

      @1_Sanguine_1 Don’t mind at all, it’s what the comment section is all about. Stat wise I run a Strength and Arcane build, with a little bit in faith so I can use incantations for buffs and Dragons Breath to clear areas with AOE damage. The Sword is the Marias Executioners Sword, and normally I run Dragon incantations in my off hand with the Dragon Communion Seal but wanted to showcase the Thorn damage so I swapped a few things around to increase the damage. Normally for bosses I’ve become partial to the Great Dragon Hunters Katana since it hits like a truck and its skill is chargeable which makes picking a Talisman load out to maximise damage pretty easy.

    • @mid40sgamer
      @mid40sgamer  Pƙed 11 dny +2

      @non-blogger I think what Anthony is saying is that people shouldn’t go right for it since breaking the seal advances NPC side quests. And the initial title suggested you can grab it immediately, which theoretically you can in just a few minutes. But you should talk to all the main NPCs first, Particularly Theollier and Moore since there is a potion exchange there. If you break the seal without advancing some quest lines you’ll miss out on dialog and gear in some cases. Which is a fair point, which is why in my last video I threw up a more adamant warning label and changed the title to this video so it’s more appropriate.
