Clawmark Seal

A sacred seal given by Gurranq, the Beast
Clergyman. A rare trinket which allows incantations to be scaled with strength.

The claw mark represents Gurranq's wrath. Enhances bestial incantations learned from Gurranq.

The Clawmark Seal weapon can be found at the following location:

• Given by Gurranq Beast Clergyman after feeding him a Deathroot. Elden Ring Map Link

• Skill: No Skill.

• This weapon cannot be buffed with Ashes of War

• Clawmark Seal is upgraded by using Smithing Stones.

• Buffs the damage of all Bestial Incantations by 10%, stacking multiplicatively with Cinquedea.

  • Note that if you are trying to purely maximize damage of Bestial Incantations, you will see better results by using the Erdtree Seal at high faith levels, in conjunction with either Cinquedea or an offhand Clawmark seal, since the spellbuff of the Erdtree Seal is so much higher that it more than makes up for the additional 10% bonus.

  • Clawmark Seal really shines when used on high-Str characters who want a ranged/fast attack option, but don't want to invest heavily in another stat.

• Incantations cast with this seal also scale with strength; two-handing this seal will further increase incant scaling due to the 50% effective strength bonus. This extra scaling is not shown in the inventory. Strength and Faith investment offer equal weightage towards increasing this seal's incant scaling.

• At +25, with 43 Faith and 43 Strength the incant scaling softcaps at 280, after which increments to either Strength or Faith will provide much smaller boosts to incant scaling. Due to strength receiving a 50% bonus while two-handing, the softcap can be attained at just 29 strength and 43 faith by two-handing this seal.

• Only Faith applies to offensive buff Incantation scaling, making this Seal a bad choice for those using such spells (Bloodflame Blade, Electrify Armament, Black Flame Blade, etc) The same applies to healing spells.

• Bestial incantations include Stone of Gurranq, Gurranq's Beast Claw, Beast Claw, and Bestial Sling.

• It is wielded, but not dropped, by Azula Beastman Mages, to cast red lightning Incantations.

• Sell Value: 100

• NOTE: As of Patch 1.08 a bug that prevented the follow-up attack from occurring when the Black Sword Incantation was activated with a Sacred Seal in the left hand has been fixed.

• NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
