Charming Branch

Throwable

An eligible enemy actually reached by the effect joins your side for up to 180 seconds. Bosses, players and charm-immune targets are not converted. This changes the enemy's AI team rather than its phantom color. It does not promise a particular target or attack, and the effect ends when the target dies.

In-game description

Branch blessed with an incantation of unalloyed gold.

Craftable item.

Uses FP to stab an enemy, charming it and the surrounding enemies.

Charmed enemies act as your allies for a short while.

Those who would otherwise be at each other's throats are united in service to Miquella—as long as the charm that binds them remains intact.

Where to find

Crafting after obtaining Forager Brood Cookbook [7]

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Main Gate Cross

Before you go

Crafting Kit
Forager Brood Cookbook [7]
Ingredients per batch: 1 Dewgem, 1 Empyrean-Blood Burgeon and 1 Beast Horn
Receive Forager Brood Cookbook [4]
Moore remains at Main Gate Cross

Reach the Church of the Crusade northwest of Highroad Cross, then search north of the church along the cliffs.
Find the curled-up, shivering pest. Place a Warming Stone or Sunwarmth Stone beside it and allow the healing to work.
Rest at a grace or travel away and return so the area reloads.
Once the forager is up and digging, talk to it to receive the cookbook.
Return to Moore at Main Gate Cross afterward for the related seventh book.
While Moore is still at Main Gate Cross, finish his talk dialogue to receive Forager Brood Cookbook [7]. Do this before choosing a response that makes him leave.
With a Crafting Kit, combine one Dewgem, one Empyrean-Blood Burgeon and one Beast Horn outside combat to make one Charming Branch.

Notes

Consumes one branch and 32 FP to charm a struck enemy and susceptible enemies around it. The area effect is the main difference from the single-target Bewitching Branch.
The charm lasts up to three minutes. Affected enemies act as temporary allies, rather than becoming a permanent Spirit Ash or a new follower you can bring between areas.
You still have to get close for the initial stab. Approaching a packed group is dangerous before the charm takes effect, especially if an immune enemy remains among them.
The effect depends on susceptibility and does not turn bosses into allies. Its area does not remove those immunity rules.
Craft one from one Dewgem, one Empyrean-Blood Burgeon and one Beast Horn with Forager Brood Cookbook [7]. Both the ingredients and the used branch are consumed.
To obtain the book, heal the injured friendly forager north of Church of the Crusade, reload and receive the fourth brood book, then speak to Moore at Main Gate Cross.
Keep the friendly Forager Brood alive and Moore available until collecting the rewards you want. Killing those friendly foragers or advancing Moore's departure can close this recipe route.
It has a much higher FP cost than Bewitching Branch. Use the area version when the extra nearby targets justify that cost rather than assuming it is always the better single-target choice.
