Dryleaf Seal is a Sacred Seal in Elden Ring. It is found in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Dryleaf Seal scales primarily with Strength and Faith and is a good Weapon for Faith casters wanting to use rings of light incantations and benefit from its powerful scaling. 

 

Sacred seal of the spiritual seekers known as the Dryleaf Sect.
Enhances incantations which conjure golden rings of light.

Those who saw the decline of the Erdtree in the fallen leaves long ago braced themselves for the weakening of Order, and embraced a strict faith. And then, they made to serve a new god.

 

Where to Find Dryleaf Seal in Elden Ring

The Dryleaf Seal weapon can be found at the following location:

  • Found on a ledge under a cave guarded by gravebirds in the area under Bonny Village. You can only reach this section by going through the secret passage in Shadow Keep and using the coffin there to transport to Ruins of Unte via Castle Watering Hole. From Ruins of Unte, make your way to the Recluses' River Upstream site of grace, then ride south along the cliffs. Cross the chasm and continue onwards, making your way to a small graveyard guarded by grave-birds. Near the ledge there is a game-message which indicates the point to drop down to find this item.

      This is about the best we'll get in terms of a seal to accompany a dex build. Having the seal be front loaded is great for low level faith investment. At 36 faith i have about 234 incant scaling, which is not fantastic by any means for overall offensive incants unless you use up a talisman slot or two and maybe a physick slot to boost an elemental damage type of your choosing. I run a lightning focused dex build and then with this seal I'm able to use heal spells with good returns (unlike Frenzy Seal, etc) and some lightning incants as well to make use of the lightning tear. Overall a very solid seal for low level faith investment. If you at all intend to go past 50 faith, it gets beat right away at 51, but for pretty much everything under 50, this is your go to. Underrated.

        The scaling is so poor that it's not really worth using two of these in NG+. Better to have one in your offhand and cast with a high scaling seal like the golden order one.

        • Anonymous

          At 70 faith, Erdtree Seal has 313 incant scaling, while Dryleaf has 289.

          At 71 faith, Erdtree Seal has 317 scaling, while Dryleaf has 290.

          At 72 faith, Erdtree Seal has 321 scaling, Dryleaf 292.

          It's like this seal hits a snag and stops scaling up as well, and barely beats out Erdtree only when casting its specific specialty, which isn't much. Fire Knight seal doesn't have this problem, it keeps scaling up fine. It seems as if this seal wants to budget around a mildly lower faith level, possibly one that's going a little heavier on endurance and mind than just pure faith. Perhaps a seal for the Flame Art/Sacred user, as faith infusions stop scaling as well as early as 50 faith.

          I don't think that necessarily makes it a bad seal, and Multilayered Rings of Light is among the stronger pure holy spells if someone wants to build around it. Instead of hitting 80 faith with it, you settle for 60, and bam, 20 more levels to dump into mind, to hit the str/dex requirements and endurance demands of a Fire Knight Greatsword or Blasphemous Blade.

            The other seals are rounded and smooth, but this one looks all spiky and pointy. It must really hurt to hold this in a clenched hand during a brawl..

              This thing is busted for low level faith users. As one poster noted, 40 FAI is the high point before the GS takes hold but until then it outperforms everything BUFFS INCLUDED so just use this

              • Anonymous

                This soft-caps at 40 faith with 244 incant scaling. No other seal scales this way, so it probably has its own curve like the Demi-Human Queen's Staff.

                  Not a bad seal use on my int faith Golden order & Gravaty build. Use in off hand a d cast with golden order, and for gravity Metiorite staff in off hand a d cast with prince of death works absolutely fantastic. Plus I use the new buffed Rellanas cameo with my sword of night and flame for some amazing comet and fire damage this build destroyed all bosses on my NG 7 run

                    Best pure faith seal between 27 and 50 faith. Perfect for weapon buffs or heals that scale only with faith. Also it allows you to use some of the best buffs in the game. Even if you are pure melee build this is super usefull.

                    • Anonymous

                      Should be buffed to around 320 scaling at 80 fth. No reason fire knight seal is like 330 while this barely gets 300.

                        I just love how it looks and I'm gonna make a "golden" faith build (despite holy dmg being bad against many bosses) because of it. Who else? Lol

                          Loving this seal for my disciple of gold build. I only have enough int to use discus with goldmask/holy scorpion/dryleaf/erdtree seal and depending what im up against i do upwards to 1700x2 dmg with it. Going to test out with double seals once i start a ng+ as it should surpass erdtree seal then.

                            I'm at 80 faith. Erdtree seal +10 does 954 dmg. Dryleaf seal +25 does 943 dmg while using Multilayered rings of light. So Erdtree seal is still stronger.

                              FromSoftware be like: Damn these Int/Fth Incantations are cool, lets add a new Incantation of this type that only requires Fth and a Seal that boost Int/Fth Incantations but only scales off Faith.

                                The part about the Circlet of Light is now wrong with the recent patch since it only boosts Light of Miquella now.

                                  I think that this could instead, be a seal that boosts servants of rot incantations or even crucible incantations, like bro we already got the golden order seal that boost those same incantations (minus multilayared rings of light). I get it that you don't need to spend points to int to make Golden order incantations good but you still need to meet the spell requirements. wasted potential imo

                                    So is this now better for rings than the golden order seal? Because to use all the rings you'd need to spec into int anyway, a stat that the GO uses for damage despite having a 5% less ring boost than dryleaf

                                      Despite not giving Light of Miquella a desperately-needed boost, still pretty good. Barely trails behind Godslayers' in incant scaling while boosting a spell that honestly doesn't need it.

                                        The seal now says "Boosts golden ring of light incantations" Is this Fromsoft's way of telling us that we wont be able to buff Light of Miquella with this seal?? PLEASE FROMSOFT LET US HAVE THE BUFF PLEASE

                                            It’s bugged, so it doesn’t give the 15% bonus in pvp (like the golden order seal); if fixed, it could optimize golden order builds.

                                              As a Golden Order Seal enjoyer, I’m really liking what I’m seeing here about the but hole seal in relation to the golden order incants. Tbh haven’t even got this seal on my int faith hybrid and the kit already slaps so I bet this will just be that much cooler.

                                                If you are still needing to get a 2nd Dryleaf seal, the golden order will stack with the Dryleaf for some of these as well

                                                  It does not buff Light of Miquella and NEVER WILL.
                                                  without any buff , Light of Miquella already hit more than half of player health.
                                                  if you add +15% from helm , +15% x 2 from seal , it will oneshot any player in game at very far range.
                                                  dont forget another +20% from sword of light , +7.5% from vows , +15% from physics.

                                                    This seal is very good at around 40-50 faith, especially with healing incantations.
                                                    I’m using it fully upgraded at 42 faith (just enough to use Erdtree Heal) and each cast restores 1434 HP. Tested against other fully upgraded seals, Godslayer came in second at 1343 HP, and Erdtree seal in third at 1243 HP.
                                                    Given that it also boosts Discus of Light and Multilayered Ring of Light (both very good incantations), this seal is perfect for any pseudo-faith build that uses just enough faith, rather than just putting in 80 and calling it a day.
                                                    Personally I’m living the dream with this at 42 faith and a max possible HP build. My condolences to those who wanted a dex/fth seal though.

                                                                two of these, with miquellas crown, sword of light buff, and a holy buff in your flask, actually does really decent damage at mid level. Spells are usually pretty underwhelming at lower levels until your scaling really kicks in, but you can use discus and multilayered rings of light to have two good options that do really respectable damage on a holy-themed build. Unfortunately, of course, half the items you need for this are all super end-game, which defeats the point. So holy builds are still screwed over by Fromsoft.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous

If you like holy based incant which you should use if you equip this seal, you have to invest in a few point of Int for Discus of Light and Triple Ring of Light anyway so at those threshold the Golden Order Seal is just outclassing everything else. And you get double boost from Golden Order Seal and Dry Leaf Seal and remember to cast spell using the one with higher Incant Boost (which should be the Golden Order).

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                      All seals in the DLC need instant scaling buff, it's just too low even with S scaling in Faith. Since we enter DLC after completing 2/3 of the main game, I don't see why we can't get some bigger damage output from the seals.

                                                                                      • This is ideal for using with Flame Art infused Fire Knight Greatsword at 22 strength/50 faith and RL125/150. Of course, Erdtree Seal or even Clawmark will be better for higher levels of stats investments.

                                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                          I’m playing a str/faith build, at level 155 right now - 42 str and 50 faith. At +24, this is giving me 254 incant scaling, which is still markedly worse than the clawmark seal at +24, which gives me 277 incant scaling. It’s possible that the frenzied flame seal would be better than either but I genuinely don’t know how to do the math and haven’t upgraded it yet. Regardless, it doesn’t seem worth it, even for a strength/faith build. Kinda disappointing

Instead I opened up the menu and realized this is just a regular ass seal that buffs like 4 spells FROMSOFT WHY
