Unseen Form | Elden Ring Wiki

Duration could be buffed.

The ash of war have the same duration AND give you silent movement.

crazy arena build idea. unseen form with ancient death rancor and rain of stars and make sure you have enough faith to be able to use erdtree heal since for whatever reason i cant use health flasks, oh and dont forget bestial sling for when they are at 1hp trying to dodge all the spells you just spammed then proceed to point downwards because thats what everyone does to me. -somebody with a skill issue

Submit

I have been meaning to put this to use for awhile. Finally did, for the golem guarding the bridge in Mountain Top of the Giants. Whelp.

Submit

I just bought the game and I noticed that I am going through a bunch of doors and there is not much action. Is it normal to go through like 10 or 15 doors to start the game?

Submit

Time to teach those filthy Ordina Town Albanauric snipers a taste of ambush.

Submit

Found this sorcery the other day and I cannot find it on my list of spells now ... gonna retrace my footprints to see if it's still there

Submit

a lot of enemies can be avoided and fleed from due to the world being mostly open….. the worst case scenario is using this indoors since you cannot go unseen in rooms and hallways……..and beside… instead of walking next to enemies, you can just crouch sprint to make no noise ( even if you wear a literal pile of rocks/metal/unconveniant armor )

Submit

You can sneak behind the tree guardian in front of the "normal" way into leyndell with this and kill him using poison mist without ever alerting him

Submit

Something that would be really nice with this would be if it hid your phantom glow for the duration so you don't need to also use a talisman slot to not glow like a dying Christmas tree light when you're invading.

Submit

Does it make spell effects invisible as well? like body blessings or glintstone phalanx. Thanks.

Submit

Currently doing a Cross-breed Priscilla build so its pretty good.
For anyone wanting to also try it use these.

Snow Witch Robe
Snow Witch Skirt
Cold Grave Scythe with Ash of War: Chilling Mist

Aspects of the Crucible: Tail Incantation

Submit

My dad used this spell but he must be a really powerful sorcerer because I still can’t see him

Submit

still broken by black knife cape and crepus vial a year after release

Submit

Why are there so many people who doesn't want to git gud and cry about this spell? Just use free-aim and AoE skills/spells, and if you're a caster, stop stupidly spamming spells and use melee weapon ffs.

Submit

Assassins gambit on a backup dagger makes this spell a bit irrelevant. If you are going to use this I'd recommend using it with ritual sword talisman as assassins gambit's self damage breaks the ritual talisman giving unseen form a small niche.

Submit

It won't give me the map

Submit

Please please please fix Unseen Form staking with Assasin's Gambit cheese in PVP asap.
People who are saying "It's not a cheat against opponets with skill." are MELEE characters who are using MOUSE.

Submit

why tf does it not work with the black knife set or the talisman???????????????????????????????????

i just want to do my ordina cosplay goddamn it

Submit

For someone to add: the Unseen Form can work with the Black Knight armor if the armor is altered. Possibly a bug caused by the transparency of the cape?

Submit

Does this make you unable to be locked onto by other players? i had someone use this and none of us could lock on

Submit

Unseen Form + Crepus Vial crashed my game 1.08.1 when I used it and hit an enemy

Submit

Its good but not Hidden body in ds3 good

Submit

why is this in the game? it's utterly useless

Submit

A must have in Ordina, very helptful against those archers.

Submit

30secs... like wtf

Submit

Assassins approach and crouching alone makes you nearly invisible in PvE. You can walk on top on an enemy with assassin approach so I don’t get these other spells and items that don’t seem to work together?

Submit

"No trust me guys it's not a crutch I'm just allergic to letting the enemy lock on to me I'm skilled I can win without Unseen + Gambit"

Submit

Pair with assassin's gambit and/or Unseen Ringed Finger for ultimate troll bait

Submit

welp, time to make a predator build

Submit

not only does this make my game lag, but makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to lock onto people in duels. came across this cool spellcaster okina cosplay guy who used it. pretty neat, if kind of annoying

Submit

You know this disables lock on on PvP right?

Submit

Pop this or assasins gambit at ordina and **** the archers with whatever weapon you want

Submit

Also tested with Assassins Gambin + Unseen Form + Concealing Veil talisman in PvP and indeed you do become invisible at a certain range and have to be looking a different direction. Also this combo is very very effective in PvP I have never seen it be used, I started being accused of glitching because apparently this technique is still very unknown:) lets keep it like that :)

Submit

This spell, while situational, can be VERY useful for a pure spellcaster. Especially useful for the Ordina, Lithurgical Town evergaol.
Keep in mind that ALL effects of this spell are negated entirely by Crepus's Vial, while ONLY the visual effect is negated by wearing a piece of the Black Knife set.

Submit

if you use assassin's aproach ash of war and then use this spell you become untargetable no matter the distance. If the order is reversed it doesn't work. Both effects are only 30 seconds so thankfully it's not too insane but it's another exploit.

Submit

OK, use this spell right after using Assassin's Gambit and become a pvp nightmare :D

Submit

tested with Crespus' Vial in pvp. Vial completely negates the effect from both players' perspectives.

Submit

If you pair the Darkness incantation with the Assassin's Cerulean Dagger talisman you can execute entire swarms of enemies for free. Darkness makes enemies lose track of you even in the middle of combat, allowing you to casually circle around one and backstab them.

Submit

Target the player before s/he cast it. So even s/he use this spell, you are still lock on. Easy duel.

Submit

are people okay with this in duels? it feels really stupid when i can't target the guy im dueling. maybe it's just a 'git gud' moment since you can free aim, but i don't like fighting the duelist and the camera

Submit

If you are using either Crepus's Vial or Black Knife Assassin armor the spell doesn't make you partially invisible. Probably intentional so you can't be dead silent and partially invisible, kinda sucks in my opinon but hey ho

Submit

Good for NG+ when you're just trying to get through the gates of Stormveil to get to the shardbearer without wasting too much time. Only got shot with one ballista, versus all of them.

Submit

This works in pvp but like the description states you are partially invisible so you have to use bushes and be careful with your movements. Very useful in tandem with the concealing veil

Submit

I used unseen form before I entered war dead catacombs boss fight with tree snake of hell. Snuck around behind him and frozen misted him to death.

Submit

Not that it matters for PvE anyway, just crouch normally or run even if they see you they won’t catch up.
What we need is complete invisibility for PvP, like Gravediggers ring in demon’s Souls

Submit

I tested this with crepus's vial in the haligtree area and every enemy spotted me.

Submit

Literally every enemy still notices me, even with a talisman to conceal my sound

Submit

Does not appear to work at all. I've tested and it doesn't make you invisible, or even less visible at a distance. Crouching seems to work strictly better and with this plus crouching it also makes no difference. They react at the same distance and have the same reaction speed. Doesn't do anything in PvP. It certainly is nothing like Hidden Body from Dark Souls 3 as mentioned by someone else which grants total invisibility as long as you aren't within about 3-4 feet.

Submit

Wearing the black knife armor does not negate the effect of this spell. Archers were firing upon me while I wore this armor. Used the spell, they stopped firing.

Submit

Just tested to be sure, and Black Knife Armor doesn't negate the spell, just the visual effect of it. I tested at Divine Tower of Caelid: Center and I had to step much closer for the spear knight down the stairs to see me after casting the spell.

Submit

The ash of war from volcano manor is infinitely better. It actually works in pvp and hides your sound

Submit

This spell is a game changer. Helps avoid targets nearly in their entirety, allowing you to pick and choose your fights.

Submit

used this spell on a str build for unlocking the haligtree

Submit

Handy for evading snipers, like those on the rooftops in the Evergaol to light torches that unlock the way to the Haligtree.

Submit

The Frenzy-Flaming Tower won’t affect you while you are using this spell… makes it much easier to navigate that area.
It also works well during the first part of Haligtree, especially with that huge Oracle Envoy that normally bombards you on approach.

Submit

Super useful, works like in DS3 - enemies take longer to react to you. Obviously they can still hear you if you are too close. The effect lasts much longer than in DS3

Submit

This spell doesn't make you invisible, just harder to see - eg. it prolongs enemy reaction time. If you need to rush through some mobs, this will help you do it. It won't help you finger but hole a mob while standing directly in its face.

Submit

Since launch and even after 1.03, this spell has its effect nullified if you have Crepus's Vial on, which seems like a bug, because the combo of invisible body + silent footsteps has been a common thing across all past games.

Submit

Its UNSEEN FORM why does everyone see me?!

Submit

for 1.03.1 the Crepus's Vial (talisman that elemenates sound) would deactivate the effect of this spell.
So, just get the ashes of war version of it.

Submit

This doesn't work, I am still spotted even with crouching.

Submit

They should've UN-nerfed this during the last update. Hardly works for sh*t, unlike in the other souls titles.

Submit

This does not work in pvp at all. I was 30 feet from a invader when i was in my sons game helping him and dude was literally locked onto me and running away. Pointless spell

Submit

is this any fun to use in pvp? i used to run a goofy solid snake build in 3 to try to get cheeky backstabs but so far i've either not seen a soul use this spell, or it's just doesn't have any visible effect player to player. anyone seen someone use this against them in pvp, and if so, how hard is it to spot them?

Submit

This thing work. I just wish there was some other source of this other than spell. It's just not very cool when you in a black knife set and you using fk stick too go invisible.

Submit

I tried this on bosses and some didn't saw me when I entered the room while others did, I used the given time to summon a spirit and they would agro it instead of me, so pretty useful for mages that need to set up damage boosts.

Submit

Just invaded a guy who’s phantom was completely invisible and backstabbed me. It was funny and I was still able to lock on but I have no idea how he did that. I remember there was some sort of staff that boosted invisibility spells. Is that what happened?

Submit

I wish there was a visual effect when casted like Hidden Body from DS3. Would be easier to tell if the spell is still in effect without needing to look at the icon under your bars.

Submit

This isn't doing anything. An icon shows by my bars but my char remains perfectly visible to myself and faraway enemies

Submit

Anyone tried this with boss?

Submit

you could have this active with the talisman to make no sound and enemies will still do their instant attacks from around corners because its a lazily coded event trigger :D

Submit

Stealth actually works pretty well. As long as you're crouched, enemies won't hear you. Most mooks will only see you if you're within 10 feet or so. You can swing your weapon and cast spells without breaking Unseen Form, and this includes refreshing Unseen Form. Poison mist won't even draw aggro. Swinging and making noise will distract enemies and make them slowly investigate the noise, allowing you to sneak past guards.

Submit

so this is why i cant see all the enemies in the game.

Submit

The third one is not just "near the bower of bounty bonefire" it's inside an illusary rock. Maybe include that semi-important info next time.

Submit

If anyone is looking for an alternative, try out the ash of war "assassin's gambit". It costs a bit of health but is way more FP efficient and has no requirements. It also makes your footsteps silent.

Submit

Can be very useful - while the enemies might still detect you when you get too close due to the sound of your feet, it will take them longer to detect you, meaning they will take longer before they are able to attack you. This will usually help you to land the first blow and avoid being stunlocked by the enemy, and if you are fighting a stunlockable enemy, you can stunlock them yourself

Submit

Reduces opponents lock on range in pvp

Submit

anyone tried this with Staff of Loss that boosts invisibility spells?

Submit

When I use this at the maddening flame tower, I get no frenzied buildup. At least it’s useful here lol

Submit

The last one is between grave and bridge base, on a small hill, there is a suspicious rock, the phantom is hidden inside the rock ... took me ages to find the last one

Submit

I've noticed a lot of comments that this spell doesn't work. I've tested the range at which a basic soldier notices me while crouching but still in view and it's pretty far off. They draw their sword and stand there but If you hide after being spotted in time they resheathe their sword and lose interest. When I have this spell active I can crouch and sneak past getting much closer to the enemy before they enter that same 'at the ready' stance of theirs. Crouching seems to be key to getting it to work though and you may want to find a hiding place to recast it since it only lasts 30 seconds and you have to slowly sneak while using it.

Submit

It does not work like Hidden Body from DS3. Enemies can see you at close range

Submit

"allowing you to move undetected." - No it does not. Enemies still attacking U as normal.

Submit

Honestly wouldn't waste your time with this spell. It's a bit underwhelming. Maybe better for pvp? Tempted to test this with a friend

Submit

WTF I am playing on pc. all enemies have that buff, even my horse!
