Unseen Form | Elden Ring Wiki

I tried to combo this with Assassin's Approach and was still easily detectable by Altus enemies. A soldier with a torch jumped from the high to intecept me, and even other enemy turned to me when I passed.

Works on horseback in PvE (assassin gambit does not). This makes the Impassable Great-bridge just before Redmane Castle notable easier to cross as only one trebuchet will fire. Seems to help with those pesky flying enemies while on horseback as well. Dragonflies just seem to pass right though, bats will try to walk up to you before taking flight. Pretty NG+ friendly as enemy health increases but their awareness does not. Does not work with Runebears as they will smell you (there has been a smell mechanic since DS2 ... the soap and perfume bottles hint about it)

Submit

for pvp, you are far more invisible by just putting on a dark cloak and crouching in a corner. You also don't have to recast it every 30 seconds like this spell (which makes it useless for stealth, even if it did make you hard to see)

Submit

This spell is a pile of sh*t

Submit

Let me update the deacription text; "Invisibility sorcery, makes the caster as hard to spot as a lighthouse in open seas during a clear night."

Submit

Using Crepus Vial or Black Knife armor pieces that affect detection might mess up the PVP combo of using this with Assassin's Gambit to prevent lock ons for 20 seconds

Submit

Let me make myself clear

Submit

Theres phantom pain in my solid snake.

Submit

I've had many experiences where I cast this, then the enemy players tries casting Law of Regression IN MY FACE, then I get a free hit in due to the lengthy cast time of that spell. So many utterly brainless people play this game, I wish that the average skill level of the player base was a bit higher so I could have more proper fights and less utter slaughters. Does this spell soft counter Casters? Yes. But what do Casters have that everyone else also has access to? Infusions. Use a Magic, Cold, Sacred, or Flame Art Infusion, you are not purely relegated to Casting as a Intelligence or Faith build to do damage, I'm tired to dealing with three person ganks who only know how to to cast projectiles and seemingly lose their marbles the moment they are unable to lock on from range and have to engage in melee combat. Hell, there are several spells that are amazing in melee combat like Catch Flame or Carian Slicer, but I rarely see anyone actually using them in favor of spamming Elden Stars or Comet with 50 Mind.

Submit

All the hate and pain caused by Ordina, manifested in one spell. Feel free to tell those archers to shove their bows and arrows deep inside their a*sholes

Submit

What is the effect's duration? I have Black Knife armor so I can't tell. Thanks.

Submit

When you can't even say my name
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?
Go on, call my name
I can't play this game, so I ask again
Will you say my name?
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?
Or have I become invisible?

Submit

If someone uses this in pvp and thinks that it makes them completely invisible, please do not play along. You are full on lying to them and they are going to die thinking they are invisible in another fight

Submit

Oh wow great sorcery, I wonder what type of roll he is using

Submit

Idk if this is a bug or a mistype, but something is causing it to just straight up stop you from locking on at all, even if they're in your face and you're spamming the lock on button. Manually aiming with joysticks is rough

Submit

this thing is bugged,it doesnt reduce lock on range,instead it ANNULS lock on if used with assassin's gambit,smh glitchers man

Submit

Most of the Comments here make it seem like some Players got Problems with Free-Aiming and can only hit stuff with Lock-on, reminds me of someone attempt of making an AI play this game and it was always completly helpless if it couldn't lock on and only randomly attacked the Air

Submit

Become the hide and seek master with this and assassin's gambit

Submit

Law of Regression can remove the "unable to lock on glitch"

Submit

Yeah, fought a guy with this spell today and he couldnt be locked on to. Life must be hard for that guy.

Submit

I seriously hope this is a glitch, a player I've been getting in 2v2 PVP matches lately uses double naginatas and this spell. You legit cannot target him or hit him with ANYTHING while this spell is active. It sucks the life out of every match he's in, glad he's having fun though I guess, somehow.

Submit

Was thinking of throwing this in a build. Can anyone tell me how useful this actually is in pvp?

Submit

This makes that deathblight catacomb on the DLC look like a joke, you can just walk through the eyes and they dont see you long enough to ever cause deathblight

Submit

Is this a good substitute for Assassins Gambit?

Submit

Haven't used this yet, but I'm feeling nostalgic over something I remember from Dark Souls 3... I had discovered that your armor and equipment can be 'noisy' in such a way that it wrecks your ability to be stealthy. I don't know the exact details, haven't poked through the parameters too hard to test things properly, but generally...

Heavier armors (maybe heavier weapons, even?) have a high noise/sheen stat that forces enemies to look at you from farther distances. This "noise/sheen" phenomenon MAY have nothing to do with your armor's/weapon's actual weight, or actual materials. For example, I use some pieces of Black Knight set, Drakeblood Knight Chestpiece, and the Hoslow set for my fashion, and this relatively lightweight, shiny, and "metallic" armor set is surprisingly very stealthy. Also, I often used the Messmer Soldier's Spear, which is rather light for a greatweapon, and also only made of wood. Despite it all, I can leisurely walk through the Specimen Storehouse from the DLC and none of the basic soot peasants or even elite knights will turn around to bother me, all with no need for a single spell or talisman. (Just know that there are tons of forced attack triggers/extremely high search power enemies throughout the game that will still attack/find you regardless of what you're using.)

Also, it might be possible that various special effects generate an aura that aggros enemies... I know that Fia's armor set had a bug related to the fact that it gave you an aura hitbox, for example. And knowing Fromsoft's code, something like that could screw with stealth by having such a hitbox constantly 'hit' the ground you're standing on, thus drawing eyes to your position. So just double check your armor pieces and talismans for potential auras that may screw with stealth.

Submit

a slower version if bloodhound step.

Submit

needs more distance. hopefully gets buffed.

Submit

does this work in the abyssal woods at all?

Submit

Duration could be buffed.

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

Submit

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
Unseen Form Sorcery
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
