Summons the Scadutree's impenetrable thorns from the earth
![]() |
Impenetrable Thorns is a Sorcery in Elden Ring. It is a brand-new Sorcery in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Impenetrable Thorns spell summons the scadutree's impenetrable thorns from the ground.
Is 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.
Where to find Impenetrable Thorns
Where to find Impenetrable Thorns:

Here's a video with instructions:

Just had a naked dude kill messmer with this, went down in less than a minute and nearly died before his cutscene could trigger

Used this on the final boss, killed him in 2 minutes, crazy dps

Several thousand damage and at least one bleed proc per cast for 15fp, and there are still comments that think it isn't bugged...

I cheese Messmer with this spell, after realizing that he is truly powerful, it didnt work first try but with many chances this spell can easily kill him. I'm gonna reserve this spell only when the boss started to annoy me.

Going from Dark Chamber Entrance and turning around is a lot faster than Seventh Floor site of grace

Mid at best if you use it at a decent, absurdly broken if you use it hugging a boss, i do love fromsoft balance

There’s a far less complicated way to get this. From the Dark Chamber grace head back downstairs and outside, go right down the other flight of stairs and there’s a drop where you’ll land right where the sorcery is.

Funny how thorn sorcery went from a weird niche to having the singlehandly strongest spell in the game.

Seen tons of people talk up commander gaius as scary... So I brought out my greatshield soldier ash to take aggro, and melted him in less than 15 seconds lol. Hope it doesn't get nerfed, but wouldn't be surprised. I was already going though the expansion with an arcane Thorn sorcery glass cannon build, so this was the perfect addition for nuking bosses.

In a future patch, I could see almost all new DLC sorceries getting a boost of some sort except this one. This one will get a nerf for sure lol! Definitely enjoy it and have fun making up builds around it while it still works the way it does.

So, instead of expanding on Aberrant sorceries and making them worthwhile, we got this. Cute.

Open with Ranni’s Darkmoon for frostbite, spam this for bleed. Chef’s kiss.

Dude I just annihilated messmer with this thing. Does 2k per hit and bleed procs for like 30% of his health on top of that. holy ****

The damage and range on this spell is NUTS. Definitely going to get nerfed hard.

Duoed Rellana with a player summon. I took the aggro while my 'helper' cut her down in roughly 4 to 5 bleed procs.....thorns go absolutely nuts. (Tested on NG+6)

I'm running a weird arcane staff/seal hybrid caster and impenetrable thorns on the albinauric staff do SO much damage and bleed. I'm still working on the final boss but I doubt it'll take long, since if I position well to hit with all the thorns my first cast procs bleed and takes about a fifth of his health off. This is in my top 3 favorite spells easy.

Hits the blood fiend for 4374. If I pop magic tear it reduces damage to 4130. What's up with that

Alberich's set buffs this 6% per piece, just like the briar spells

Dmg this thing does is "balanced" around dlc, if they nerf it they should also nerf every enemy in dlc with that logic.

Would be sad to see this nerfed considering it's one of the only good sorceries that was actually added in the DLC in comparison to incantations.

This spell will get nerfed 100%. Hitting bosses for damage in the 10s of thousands in just a few casts. Spawn Mimic Tear > let it take aggro = win for free with this spell.

Build bleed up is pretty slow for me compared to what I've seen others do. How do I up it?
- Anonymous
idk if this is going to get nerfed since you need some setup, you need to get close to procs all the thorns, but the return outweights the risk way waaaaayyyy beyond the risk

Sorcerie that scales with faith? what? Does it actually only scale with faith?
- Anonymous
Its a really good spell but its only op because of our fragments, I dont they will nerf it
- Anonymous
I keep seeing people spam this in PvP. I have yet to be hit by it once so idk how much damage it will do lol. It looks scary though.

Law of Regression requires INT despite being an incantation. This spell requires FTH despite being a sorcery. Oh, well.

are these the same impenetrable thorns that radagon used to block the erdtree?

I think claiming this spell is OP is a bit of a stretch, it's more situational. Like many spreading/multi-hitbox spells, it is pretty good against large targets, but it also seems a little inconsistent. I'm not entirely sure, but sometimes it seems like the barbed snaking hits, but not the spike?
Against the finger Ebrietas, as my opener, I saw it do about 5% of her health, and then the next time seamed to take about a 6th. All the same buffs, all projectiles hitting, and bleed NOT procing in both instances.

Acutualy OP just used it against placidusax and killed him before he even got to second phase with a graven mass talisman and ritual sword and white mask being my only buffs (and winged sword insignia but idk if that works)

spell will get nerfed, does way too much damage, scadutree avatar used the same thing and it one shots with +12 scadu 60 vid

Pretty sure it causes bleed build-up. Fires three projectiles in a very narrow cone, with very long range. Once the projectile hits a target, a thorn erupts. It's not uncommon to land multiple thorns on the same target, causing them to take massive damage, and very rapidly accumulate bleed build-up. Very, very powerful spell.

does it work with the aberrant buffs from the thorn sorcerer? even if it doesn't, more faith sorceries finally gives you some options

Go to storehouse seventh floor. Walk out from the grace, then go down the flights of stairs to the level where you can climb the middle of the room. Do that up the statue. Go outside and then look off the edge immediately out of the door, there is a place you can fall to. There is a bat down there and a body with this spell on it.

It's located just before the dark chamber entrance site of grace. Before you cross the bridge and enter the building, drop down on to a ledge with a bat, and it's on a corpse next to it.

Looking at this other article, it's supposed to be at Tree Worship Sanctum, but I got a Marika's Rune instead.

Where did you get this spell? I've been looking everywhere near the Church District, even beat the boss that uses this spell and didn't get it.

can someone let us know where it's at because it's pre-released location is not where it's currently at so it's either somewhere else, bugged, or hasn't been added but i see people here that seem to of used it recently
