Useful Info
Briar patches are short lived obstacles conjured into existence by thorn hunters. These walls of thorny vines will appear either between you and the hunter or behind you, cutting off your escape route. Although they will not attack you, melee attacks against them will cause you to take damage, and they do not block projectile ranged attacks, allowing the thorn hunter to shoot you unimpeded. They are worth no experience and die shortly after you defeat their summoner.
Tips & Tricks
- Ranged fighters or spellcasters are largely unimpeded by briar patches. Physical ranged attacks can be fired right through them, as can most Conjurations. Bolt spells are especially effective, allowing you to clear the briar and hit the thorn hunter in one shot.
- Reaching melee weapons can attack briars safely.
