The Barrier of Gold is an Erdtree Incantation in Elden Ring that reduces magic damage taken by 60% for a 70-second duration. Requiring Faith 24 and costing 30 FP to cast, this Erdtree Incantation also grants its magic damage negation to allies near its caster. This Spell offers the same potency in both PvP and PvE combat. As a result, the Barrier of Gold is the ultimate counter for PvP combatants or enemies that heavily rely on casting Spells in Elden Ring. Furthermore, its defensive buff stacks with Golden Vow.
To acquire the Barrier of Gold Incantation in Elden Ring, Tarnished spellcasters must hunt an Invisible Teardrop Scarab within Leyndell, Royal Capital. The Leyndell Legacy Dungeon becomes accessible once players have defeated two Demigod Shardbearers and have made it past the Draconic Tree Sentinel guarding the Capital Rampart entrance. On the other hand, it is essential to mention that those who've completed Crumbling Farum Azula will not be able to obtain the Barrier of Gold. This is because once the Leyndell transforms into the Ashen Capital, many areas, including this Erdtree Incantation's location, become unavailable. Therefore, they must begin a NG+ to restore the Capital to its original state.

Continue down the street to another stairway on the left.
