news Elden Ring Impenetrable Thorns: Where to find this magic and how to use it?
Are you still interested in the Impenetrable Thorns spell, despite the nerf it may have suffered during the Elden Ring update 1.13? In this article you will find all the useful information about this spell, especially its location, but also the changes made by FromSoftware.
Where can I find the Impenetrable Thorns Sorcery in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree?
The magic of impenetrable thorns can only be acquired in the realm of shadows, i.e. in the “Shadow of the Erdtree” expansion of Elden Ring.
The latter is located in the religious quarter of the Black Castle and more specifically on a corpse placed in the Sanctuary of the Revered Tree. To reach this part of the area, you must first lower the water level in order to be able to move freely in the religious quarter.
Private bathroom, Enter the central churchthat with a small circular square with a big dead tree in front of it Take the right corridorwhich is directly in front of the room with the large statue of Marika. Continue your way without detours and you will reach the place of grace “Sanctuary of the Revered Tree”.
- Note: Be careful when you are in this place of mercy, because right in front of you is the arena of the Avatar of the Eldritch Tree, a boss useful for obtaining the Shattered Rune of Miquella. Behind the place of mercy you will find the said corpse, which contains the sorcery of impenetrable thorns.
The changes made to Impenetrable Thorns in Elden Ring 1.13?
This magic, which was considered far too strong, was greatly weakened with the Elden Ring update 1.13. In fact, the damage is no longer as great as it used to be :
- Magic damage increases from 125 to 63
- The accumulation of bleeding occurs 72 to 17
- Reduced magical damage and bleeding when the opponent is in a protective stance
So whether in PvP or PvE, the spell is much less interesting than before. You can no longer cause heavy bleeding damage whether you carry Sir Ansbach’s set and the stick of guilt on you or not.
