Unique Skill: Last Rites is a Skill in Elden Ring. It is exclusive to the Golden Epitaph.
Description[]
Effect[]
Increases weapon damage for user and all nearby allies by 10% (5% in PvP) plus a flat 25 extra Holy damage (both only for weapon attacks) and grants 100% bonus damage against Those Who Live in Death for all attacks, all for 60 seconds. This counts as an Aura Buff.
Notes[]
- As this is an Aura Buff it is directly in competition with the spell Golden Vow, a contest it falls short of on a build with enough Faith and FP to cast the latter. However, since the weapon this is attached to still scales fairly well with only one of or both of Strength and Dexterity it still has a niche. Even more so, it is always holds the niche of being generally significantly stronger than either Golden Vow again against Those Who Live in Death.
- Note that Last Rites almost only increases weapon damage, meaning Golden Vow is always better for spells.
Trivia[]
- Patch 1.12 fixed a bug that caused damage to the player and friendly summons when using the "Last Rites" Skill under specific circumstances.
- Prior to the fix, Last Rites would be applied to non-damaging effects such as Terra Magica or Great Heal, making them deal the flat 25 Holy damage to any friendly players standing on it.
- Patch 1.07 increased effect duration, increased attack power, effect against Those Who Live in Death has been revised upward.
- The skill's duration was increased from 45 seconds to 60 seconds, the universal 10% damage buff was added (limited to 5% in PvP), and the damage bonus against Those Who Live in Death was increased from 50% to 100%.
- Patch 1.04 increased cast speed.
