Bewitching Branch is a Consumable Item and optional Keepsake in Elden Ring. Most Consumables grant various effects such as restorative properties for recovering HP, removing certain negative status effects or applying temporary buffs and debuffs, while others can be thrown at enemies to deal damage.
Tree branch blessed with an incantation of unalloyed gold.
Craftable item.
Pierce a foe, using FP to turn them into a temporary ally.
The Empyrean Miquella is loved by many people. Indeed, he has learned very well how to compel such affection.
Where to find Bewitching Branch in Elden Ring
- 5 sold by the Nomadic Merchant located in Liurnia of the Lakes near Bellum Church. They cost
1,600 Runes each. [Map Link] - 3 can be found on a corpse, surrounded by bats, on a lower ledge north of the Church of Pilgrimage, at Weeping Peninsula. [Map Link]
Elden Ring Bewitching Branch Crafting Guide
To craft Bewitching Branch you would need the Fevor's Cookbook [3] as well as the following Crafting Materials:
Elden Ring Bewitching Branch Notes & Tips
- You can hold up to 10 Bewitching Branches.
- You can store up to 600 Bewitching Branches.
- Sell Value:
100 Runes - You can select Bewitching Branch as Keepsake during Character Creation.
- Can be used to charm the spectral Banished Knights Commander Niall summons. Sprint up to one of them (dual wielding Knight, preferably) while they're being summoned and use the item to charm them relatively risk-free. Charm the second Knight to make the first phase of the fight quite short.
- Duration : Approx. 3 minutes.
Anonymouswould really appreciate a list of enemies this works on! like what a wiki is usually meant to do!

I have all these branches and was wondering what to do with them, then I thought of using it on that runebear in Dragonbarrow cave and luring in reds into a giant bear attack lol but it doesn't work on runebears and I got demolished. Ahh, Tarnished...

Enemies remain charmed for 3 minutes. Some enemies cannot be charmed. Charmed enemies have a pink cloud emanating from their heads. Law of Regression will dispel charm effect. Charmed enemies can be buffed and healed. Charmed enemies will not attack the player and cannot be locked onto. However their attacks can still hit you, likewise your attacks can still hit them. Attacking a charmed enemy will NOT aggro them. It is not necessary to hit an enemy with the stab animation. The enemy only needs to touch the pink cloud for a moment. The pink cloud is an AOE, enabling it to charm multiple enemies in a single use. The stab animation has no hyper armor and can be interrupted easily.
Some strategies to use the item effectively are-
1. Using the Ash of War: Endure to give yourself hyper armor so you can cast without being interrupted by most attacks. (Note: Heavier attacks such as the ones made by giant enemies/weapons can still stagger you).
2. Using the spell Darkness so you can momentarily de-aggro most enemies that enter the black fog, allowing you to use the item without being attacked. (Note: the de_aggroing effect of Darkness has a VERY short duration lasting roughly 10 seconds on an enemy looking away from you and 2 seconds on an enemy looking right at you, be quick).
3. Using Sleep Pots from afar to put an enemy to sleep before using the item. (Note: enemies resistant to sleep but not immune will only be stunned for a second so plan accordingly. However, enemies susceptible to sleep will not be awoken from being charmed unless you actually hit them with the stab animation).
If one has ample FP they can combine strategies 2 and 3 in order to charm a large group of enemies. This can be done by aggroing several enemies then spamming Darkness, causing them to harmlessly group up around you, whereupon use Sleep Pots to put them all to sleep, enabling you to charm them all in one go. Using Darkness again will wake them up. (Note: the grouping up is inconsistent so it’ll likely take more then one Bewitching Branch unless you use the Ash of War: Gravitas to pull them in close).

Use this on that one Stone Imp puzzle where you must get two to fight each other.
Theoretically the most useful keepsake if you actually like using them and not just hording them, because everything else are either super common, are replaced with better alternatives eventually, or are things you will obtain an abundance of anyway throughout your adventure, whereas there are a finite number of Sacramental Buds and Miquella's Lily in the world for you to loot until you need to start farming them to get more, and since the odds are so low you'll need to grind your ass off if you want to get more than a few dozen of these. You'll need to grind regardless eventually anyway, but 5 whole branches are theoretically hours of grinding avoided. On the topic of the branches themselves, I like using them for some PvP shenanigans, would highly recommend.

So much fun to lure invaders in a charm a nearby strong npc.
Probably my favorite consumable. Lot's of good info in comments. I can add that enemies can be charmed over and over again. Even if the effect already wore off. There doesn't seem to be diminishing returns if used repeatedly on the same enemy.
However! If you want to refresh the charmed effect on an already charmed target, THEY HAVE TO BE STABBED BY THE BRANCH!! The charm status effect doesn't refresh if the enemy is only hit by the cloud. The cloud only charms hostile enemies. The refresh will last a full 3 minutes.
Lastly, it's a lot easier to list what ISN'T affected by this because it does effect most enemies. I forget offhand what it doesn't work on but basically if it's a huge ass enemy, it ain't gonna work. It does affect Fire Prelates but not the huge ass prawns as someone else already stated.
Another interesting thing about this item is that if the charmed enemy isn't aggroed, they will return to the same spot or patrol path. Charmed enemies can also attack invaders.

Best use I have seen is the summoned knights for Commander Niall.
I usually just Swarm of Flies him after that whilst the other 2 beat on him.

It would be nice to know how they work before wasting a couple in the Niall fight. Like, does it automatically "hit" or not. Does it take several "hits" on an enemy or not. I noticed in mid chaos that it was some sort of mist. Threw two of these mists into the fray of banished knights, Niall and my summons, have no idea how good the mist seemed to cover anything. Well, after the branches were done and wasted, the two banished knights attacked me.

To my present understanding, Bewitching Branches work on non-boss foes. I used some to make runebears fight, but also learned Grafted Scion (boss) was immune.

Kind of funny how Miquella’s needle helps to ward off outer influence while the bewitching branch works to grant you influence over others, and through a very similar method of embedding it into the skin.
Almost like Miquella reverse engineered the branch when they were making their needle(s). It also seems heavily implied that Miquella came up with the branches in the first place, and that’s why they were always so fond of Miquella’s Lily. Then there’s the whole mystery connection between Miquella and St. Trina with the lily’s and statues.

Hey guys. Im working on a personal speedrun route through Eldenring, My speedrun in short is no glitches, no quit out and kill all Demigods + Endboss. Im thinking about using Bewitching Branch as a way to farm quickly as many runes as possible. So my question to you is if you can think of a place/ Enemy Pack where it would have the greatest effect. So im looking for an Enemy Pack that gives an unusual high amout of runes. The idea is to abuse the branch to beat this pack early on by bewitching a strong enemy and killing him while he is killing the other enemys. Any suggestion is appreceated. Ty ❤️

Will it work on bosses which are regular enemies like soldier of godrick?

Enemies that this is very useful on are:
Banished Knights. Super useful at Castle Sol including BOTH of Niall's summons not just one.
Cleanrot Knights
Battle Mages. Just before Loretta, sneak up on one and watch them battle it out. Super fun.
Also, if use it at just the right distance so they are hit with the very end of the mist, and not the actual pierce, you can use it on the little guys manning the ballistas throughout the game, and they will destroy anyone who is in front of them.
A good rule of thumb is if you cannot put them to sleep, they can't be bewitched (humanoids, like the leader knights).

This items is worse than useless. Every enemy I've had enough trouble with to be worth trying it out on (lesser runebears, crystallians, giant crayfish, etc) is immune to it, and any enemy that isn't immune to it is either not a problem to begin with or isn't really able to be reliably charmed.

"Indeed, he has learned very well how to compel such affection."
I think this hints that Miquella not only has a natural carisma, but he also developed some sort of technique to control other people if needed.

Curiously, if you charm an enemy while they are winding up for an attack, they will continue to remain locked onto you for the duration.
This is most noticeable when its a REALLY long attack chain, such as the blistered dogs in Moghwyn Palace.

If these work in PvP they might be extremely powerful for host and his ally phantoms, especially in tight quarter dungeons or when involving unusually powerful mobs they actually work on. Actually knowing what mobs, however, is a problem that will require this page to be updated over time.

the blurb that Miquella compels affection for himself, and getting this after finding Mohg seems to imply that he's been enthralled. The line "Miquella is mine and mine alone." certainly feels like something someone charmed to the point of obsession would say. I'm really interested in seeing more of Miquella to see how this theory floats.

sooooo it's the shaman's blade from bloodborne but even less useful since the shaman blade atleast let you charm the giant shark-ogres.
There's an incantation in the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer that everyone thinks is for causing sleep, that could be the case, but the color is a bright pink and it doesn't look like mists of slumber. I think it would be pretty cool to have a bewitching incantation, only working on minor enemies so it doesn't break the game.
