Elden Ring features so many weapons and spells, and different items and tools to buff them so that players can mix and match to make a huge arsenal for themselves. This guide will let you know where to find the Clawmark Seal in Elden Ring by outlining its location.
Where to Find Clawmark Seal in Elden Ring
Clawmark Seal is used to cast Incantations in the game. Though all types of incantations can be cast with the seal, what makes this seal special is that any beast incantations cast with this seal are 10% stronger.
Beast Incantations are strong enough already, but with Clawmark Seal, you can further increase their strength. Since Clawmark Seal has scaling with strength too, it allows players to make their incantations stronger by investing in strength as well as faith.
To get Clawmark Seal, all you have to do is to present a Deathroot to Gurranq Beast Clergyman. The NPC is found in Caelid’s northeastern corner.
To get to the NPC, you can interact with the portal near the Third Church of Marika. This portal will take you to the Bestial Sanctuary where you will see a huge beast covered in garbs. Interact with the beast and give him the Deathroot to get clawmark Seal.
If you are wondering what Deathroot is, it is an item you use to progress Gurranq Beast Clergyman’s questline in Elden Ring. The earliest points where you can find the Deathroots are the Black Knife Catacombs and Deathtouched Catacombs. You can also kill the Tibia Mariner open world bosses to get Deathroot.
You need to feed the clergyman one Deathroot to get the Clawmark Seal. Clawmark Seal cannot be buffed with Ashes of War; however, you can upgrade it with Smithing Stones. As you might already know, upgrading an armament improves its attribute scaling and increases the damage dealt.
Elden Ring Clawmark Seal Vs Finger Seal, Which is Better?
Both these seals are useful for the build where you focus on Faith as well as Strength scaling. The Clawmark has better Strength scaling so if you have invested in Strength then it will provide better Incant scaling. The Finger seal provides superior Faith scaling so it works better if you are neglecting Strength.
Clawmark Seal gives players a 10% improvement for Bestial Incantations which is considerable enough. This makes your beast incantations stronger than if you use a different seal with the same Incant Scaling. Hence, Clawmark is the better choice if you are in the later-game stages, while Finger Seal can be used in the initial phases of your gameplay.
