Effects

Reduces incoming physical damage by 35%. Lasts 15 seconds. In PvP, the change is 10%. Replaces the current body buff. Replaced buffs do not return when this one ends.

For 15 seconds, reduces incoming poise damage by 34%. This is damage to your poise meter, not extra displayed armor poise or reduced HP damage. Light hit reactions are suppressed while your poise remains unbroken. A hit that breaks poise can still stagger you; throws and stronger forced reactions are separate.

In-game description

Favor bestowed by a deathbed companion. Protection of a hidden temple in the guise of a bedchamber.

Uses FP to temporarily boost poise.

The favor allows one to forget any aches and pains. In Death, there is only peace, for in Death, there can be no sensation.

Where to find

Fia's embrace

Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

  1. Accept Melina's invitation to Roundtable Hold.
  2. Enter Fia's bedroom off the hall near Hewg and speak to her. Accept her offer to hold you.
  3. Finish the embrace conversation to receive Baldachin's Blessing. You can return for another while she remains available and you are not already carrying one.

Notes

  • Carrying the ordinary blessing reduces maximum HP by 5%, even before it is used. This is the health penalty from Fia's embrace, not an unexplained permanent reduction to your character's Vigor.
  • Using it consumes the item and 10 FP for a 15-second defensive body buff. It reduces incoming Physical damage by 35% from enemies or 10% from other players.
  • It also reduces incoming poise damage by 34% and prevents some light stagger reactions. This can help finish an action through a small hit, but does not stop every heavy attack or knockdown.
  • The damage reduction is Physical. It does not grant the same reduction to Magic, Fire, Lightning or Holy damage.
  • As a body buff, it does not stack with another body buff such as Flame, Grant Me Strength or Boiled Crab. Replacing one with another loses the earlier body effect.
  • After using it, wait for the short blessing effect to finish so the held-item maximum-HP penalty clears. Keeping another ordinary blessing maintains the reason for the penalty.
  • Fia can provide another while she remains available and you are not already carrying one. The radiant version is a separate once-per-journey reward with different duration and no carried health penalty.
