Carian Piercer sorcery is hidden in plain sight in Elden Ring. You can easily miss it as it can be obtained by killing a hidden teardrop scarab. Let us help you find it and tell you how to use it effectively against the enemies.
Carian Piercer Location
Carian Piercer in Elden Ring can be obtained by killing a Teardrop Scarab in the gardens of the Caria Manor.
Caria Manor is found in the northwest corner of Liurnia. This area plays an important role in the game as it allows you to access Ranni’s Questline and witness a major alternate ending.
Once you reach the entrance of Caria Manor, go straight until you reach the first fountain of the garden. Beware of the Finger enemies, as they usually hide themselves in the soil or on the walls.
From the first fountain, turn right and go northeast. This will take you into a narrow alley inside the garden of Caria Manor. Locate the blue teardrop scarab and kill it as fast as you can.
Upon killing the teardrop scarab, it will drop the Carian Piercer sorcery in Elden Ring.
