'''Briar patches''' are short lived obstacles conjured into existence by [[thorn hunter]]s. 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.

Useful Info

Briar patches are short lived obstacles created by thorn hunters and Fedhas' Wall of Briars ability. Although they won't attack you, briars are spiny - attacking them in melee causes you to take 5d4 damage. Like bushes, briars do not block ranged attacks. Briars created by thorn hunters will expire quickly after you kill their creator.

Tips & Tricks

  • Ranged attacks and spells can be fired past briars. Penetrating attacks can damage both the briar patch and thorn hunter at the same time. Keep in mind that monsters can also attack you through briars.
  • Reaching melee weapons can attack briars safely.

History

  • Briar patches were added in 0.14.
