Here’s what you need to know about Crucible: Thorns and where to find it.
Crucible Aspects: Thorns Statistics and Functionality
Forge: Thorns requires 1 memory slot, costs 14 FP per cast, and requires 27 Faith points to use.
This spell causes you to create thorns on your back that spin around and attack enemies around you, dealing damage to each enemy hit. There are stronger AOE damage options in the game, but that doesn’t mean you should go for Crucible: Thorns (if it fits your build), as its low FP cost and reasonable Faith requirements still make it a good one choose.
Crucible Aspects: Thorns item description

“The side of the crucible that appears in the golden hippopotamus.
Creates an upright, thorny mass of fur on the caster’s back, which then rolls on the ground to clear the area.

Long ago, before the land was cast in shadow, the Crucible was alive. Such remains can be seen in ancient ruins.
Where to find the Crucible aspect: Thorns
Here’s how you can find Crucible Aspects: Thorns Defeat the Golden Hippo Boss The Shadowkeep Legacy Dungeon in Skarduartus. Just board the elevator at the entrance of the dungeon to find this boss.

Luckily, if you’ve fought other hippo enemies in the DLC, you should already have a general idea of how to take down this bad guy, although you’ll need to study some of his extra attacks to learn how to avoid them.
After defeating the Golden Hippopotamus, you’ll receive the Crucible Ward: Thorn Spell as well as two additional Skardu Tree Fragments in recognition of your hard work.
