Elden Ring: Where to Get the Beast-Repellent Torch

Elden Ring often puts players in dark environments, where the lack of visibility can quickly turn deadly, which is why carrying an armament such as the Beast-Repellent Torch is highly recommended. Elden Ring, unlike previous FromSoftware games, introduces a variety of torches, each of them unique in its own way. The Beast-Repellent Torch, for example, is much more than a simple source of light as it also possesses the unique ability to repel beasts when carried. Those struggling against beastly enemies in the game, such as dogs or basilisks, would do well to acquire it, as it is very effective in dealing with them.

The Beast-Repellent Torch is the best strength scaling torch in the game, but its real value comes from its ability to repel beast-type enemies. While players wield this armament, most beasts will recoil from its light and keep their distance from the player without attacking. However, this effect does not work on the strongest beasts in the game, and it is often best used to keep the player from getting overwhelmed by packs of fast attacking annoying enemies in Elden Ring.

It is also important to note that the Beast-Repellent Torch will only work as long as players do not attack the enemy. Like most torches, this armament cannot be infused with Ashes of War, but it can be upgraded with smithing stones.
