Godskin Swaddling Cloth | Elden Ring Wiki

Wonder if this works with destined death AoW

Submit

Mid as far as being a “splashable” talisman but potentially very good if you design your build around it.

Submit

Underrated talisman. Best paired with multi hit weapons(obviously). Whenever I use this for my gloam eyed Queen build the unique two handed running R1 on the Godskin peeler makes it proc every time and sometimes enemies don’t completely die so it’s possible to get 6% of health back from one enemy. But I feel like it just works very well in black flame build. I equip dragoncrest great shield, cast black flame protection, cast blessing of the erdtree and have this equipped to help make up for the heal debuff. And I m basically eating physical damage and my flasks aren’t completely useless from the health debuff.

Submit

Zero clue why this doesn't work with spells like Crystal Barrage/Crystal Torrent, but all the other consecutive-hits talismans and also the crystal tear does work. So stupid.

Submit

Essential for all Malenia cosplayers

Submit

Definitely needs to heal for each hit once you've hit enough times but for less than the first heal or it is just outclassed by all other healing talismans

Submit

I’ve recently come to love this talisman and I swear it’s underrated as hell. It’s basically bloodborne’s rally mechanic but heals you infinitely without needing to be hit to trigger it. I don’t understand how anyone could call this useless

Submit

Look up Dark souls' Effigy Shield and come back.

Submit

This would be amazing if it worked with poison/rot

Submit

Made by babies for babies

Submit

The running attack of dual-wielded Great Spears hits like 10 times. How does the Godskin Swaddling Cloth work with those hits? Is the healing as crazy as I hope it is?

Submit

Does this interact favorably with Ornamental Straight Swords' special charged heavy?

Submit

waterfowl dance plus this equals "I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella" just good luck landing it.

Submit

Does this work with aspect of crucible horn and tail incantation? Given both Millicent's prothesis and rotten winged insignia worked with these incantations.

Submit

Works on stormcaller :)

Submit

This heals on jumping attacks from twinblades and curved swords. I haven’t tested it yet but I’m pretty sure with this a blood tax will heal all the damage you’d take from seppuku (at least at 40 vigor, not sure how it would compare to 60 or 99 vigor) so it has a lot of potential on an arcane build, especially if you using bloody slash and blood blades

Submit

i have decided to try this on the funny drill sword (eochaids dancing blade) since i scrolled for 10 seconds and didnt see anything about it.

Submit

GuYs diD yOu kNoW iT woRkS WiTh dRaGoN cLaW??!

Submit

This works with both Dragon Claw and Gavel of Haima. Two hits guarantee health return. Gavel is probably better for this since it does less damage while keeping the stagger both spells have.

Submit

I don't think it's intended, but this works with Dragon Claw.

Submit

i'm not sure if this is well known or not, but this talisman can be triggered by Dragonclaw. I haven't tested with anything else yet, but I assume that any spell that deals physical damage is capable of triggering Godskin Swaddling Cloth.

Submit

I wonder if this talisman will work on Great Stars with Prelate's Charge? That would be a mean build.

Submit

step 1: get ghiza wheel. step 2: get swaddling cloth. step 3: spam 1-handed heavy attack. step 4: profit

Submit

I have confirmed this works with Starcaller Cry on Starscourge Greatswords, with both the initial gravity pull and the follow up smash

Submit

I remember killing that Snail months ago and this never dropped.

Submit

LOL, you can proc this by attacking the mounted ballistas.

Submit

What about Ghizas Wheel?

Submit

me and my curved swords love this tallisman

Submit

serpent bone blade, this, winged sword insignia, kindreds of rot exultation. Everything will proc after one heavy (minus kindreds). Same goes for the ash of war. After a little into the fight you’re looking at a 40% damage buff along with health regen per hit. You could literally stack poise and just keep swinging and nothing could stop you

Submit

This Talisman is godly with Dual Daggers

Submit

never noticed it’s usefulness with my consecutive hits rob build.. with 45 vigor

Submit

Can this stack with Taker's Flames from the Blasphemous Blade?

Submit

Works really well depending on what kind of weapon you're using. Unfortunately it barely compensates for slower weapons, but works really well for multi-hit attacks and dual wielding. Jump attacks with dual twinblades heals you 5% every time if all the hits connect. On average it heals every 5-6 hits.

Submit

not useless, but a bit of a pain to make a good build for. works well with the ghiza wheel's unique heavy attacks

Submit

pretty decent if you've got a ton of health

Submit

damn,remind me of pontiff's left eye ring with L1 spamming

Submit

abysmally awful talisman.

Submit

have you tested if it works on Jar cannon ?

Submit

Become Malenia blade of Miquella

Submit

Kinda underwhelming without modelling your build around it.

Submit

It's really hard to say for certain, but if you have to choose between them like I did with one build, I think the 20% reduction to physical damage taken from the dragon greatshield talisman is better than this healing because preventing that damage is more reliable than having to get the HP back after taking a hit. Yes the timer is generous, but how much you get back is partly based on your total HP, so it's not good if you have low vigor and will only be so effective once your build is complete. Meanwhile, the DGS talisman is more effective the bigger the hit, so it gets better as you go and enemies get stronger in the final areas and into NG+. Additionally, the encouragement to be aggressive in order to recover lost HP tends to make me reckless, leading to damaging errors in judgement instead of patiently choosing good moments to go on the offensive.

Submit

Is that... a baby's skin?!

Submit

Hits from starscourge GS (one from radahn) count normally despite hitting double. This allows you to heal every second attack. Pretty sweet.

Submit

works really well on a duel wield greatstars build with wild strikes, you heal so much hp from the jump attacks as well

Submit

Really hard to say whether this is better or worse than the DS3 iteration of this talisman. In DS3 it only healed 30 hp, with no percentage based bonus like this game, making it in the short term very difficult to use. But there was a bug, well I think it was a bug at least, which allowed you to gain all of your health back after many successive hits, usually to a group of enemies. Assuming it was a bug, it was a fun one that didn't hinder gameplay, rather rewarded risky play which was fun. Now in Elden Ring we don't have the huge rally potential of getting all of our health back, but that 3% bonus really is nice. With the bonus, it elevates this talisman to being viable throughout all points in the game. Obviously you get it pretty lategame, but if you were to savescum it onto a new character, it would be viable throughout the playthrough.

Submit

The gauge decay rate is quite generous. It seem to always heal me at the 5th hit when I was fighting a boss using iron greatsword, rare were the occasions when it took 6th hit to heal. Also note that spears are not listed above which means they also heal at 5th hit, sounds quite good with a shield poke build.

Submit

Isn't this only really good with blood tax ash?

Submit

Does this work with DoT? I just thought of black flame DoT because of Godskin

Submit

Kind of disappointing reward for such a late game (and very cool) dungeon.

Submit

I would use this all the time with powerstance great stars so I get 2% HP every single attack and then even more once this procs which was about ever 2 attacks

Submit

The heal is very minimal compared to the damage-buff-on-multi-hit talismans. It takes significantly more effort to trigger it and doesn't heal much when it does trigger so even on the Marais drill build it's not very good.

Submit

It specifically says that charged attacks trigger the talismans effect on the third hit but I don't see that as being even remotely possible, except on greyoll as it doesn't move. I have no idea how many playing elden ring have this talisman, but I'd bet good money no one has come across an enemy or boss who just stands there while someone hits it with three charged hits.

Submit

Pity it doesn't work for spells too. I'd equip it if it did but otherwise it's useless to me.

Submit

Does this reset when you swap your weapon?

Submit

This could go good in a Melania build

Submit

It looks like a juice bag

Submit

Great Heavens that looks horrendous like a genuine crime against humanity

Submit

the healing proc with 4 attacks from curved swords. jump attack and running attack while powerstancing curved swords proc it.

Submit

This+the Butchering Knife+Sword Dance AoW for the win.

Submit

Note that hitting a very recently dead enemy still adds to the count. Very similar to Malenia healing off dead summons/players.

Dual wielding dagger gives insane proc for this talisman, sadly the number is not exactly high so swap accordingly with Assasin's Crimson Dagger

Submit

A tarnished's modest proposal to resolve the vigor famine.

Submit

I wonder how much you can heal with Great Stars + Godskin Cloth + Prelate's Charge.

I know that Great Stars' passive effect works with Prelate's Charge, but I haven't tried it with Godskin Cloth.

Submit

The blackflame's tics damage are use full to activate this talisman?

Submit

Good for coop and if you're using dual wielding a fast weapon (curved sword/twinblades).

Even the little HP it gives you is better than using the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.

Submit

This with Milliscent prosthesis and Rotten Wing Sword Insignia using Waterfowl Dance gives you a proper Malenia build since it heals you with the constant attacks

Submit

Godskin Swaddling Cloth + Wild Strikes on Great Stars...?

Submit

I think Assassin's Crimson Dagger will be better for most melee builds. Most normal enemies die in 4 hits or less, even with an upgraded twinblade. It would take 7-8 hits to match the healing of a single critical strike

Submit

Little late to the party, but this and any twinblade seems to work very well. Since each R1 hits multiple times, you can easily proc the effect. Using the Godskin Peeler, I'm able to proc it on the second hit of the second R1, making it a pretty easy heal.

Submit

This honestly isn't that good unless you're fighting against multiple enemies.

Submit

This doesn't seem to work with Eochaid's dancing blade weapon art.

Submit

So if you hit an enemy you get healed? Or if you hit an enemy a certain number of times you get healed? Which is it?

Submit

This + great stars + prelate charge or prayerfull strike and you and your mimic homie never die

Submit

I beat Malenia with this thing and dual curved swords. Sweet irony.

Submit

imagine if godskin duo healed with each hit like malenia

Submit

Hitting turrets like ballistas will also heal you. You can switch to your fists and just wail on em for easy hp.

Submit

This is what Melania's Rune should've done, but on 1 hit. Instead we have whatever the hell that rune does.

Submit

Responding to the fellow below me – Godskin Swaddling Cloth DOES synergize with Eochaid's Dancing Blade. When paired with Taker's Cameo, this can result in 2-3 procs of HP return on a single use of the weapon art if it hits enough times and kills the enemy.

Gotta test viability on stronger bosses in this current playthrough but so far this is an unexpectedly beautiful synergy!

Submit

Throw this on mimic tear with Wild Swings and watch it just never ****ing die.

Submit

Need to test this with Eochaid Weapon Arts. Since its weapon art hits like 10 times in one use, this might be a good pair with thorn magic, at least to clear out NPCs around until you meet the boss and get destroyed.

Submit

berserk references!!!

Submit

This with ghizas wheel might be good

Submit

Broken with the Mimic tear, at summon level 10 that 3% max health goes a long way.

Submit

This pairs well with the Godskins signature peeler, which is one of the quickest attacking weapon in the game

Submit

Oh I didn't even notice but yeah, the size of those hands, that's definitely a baby's skin huh.

Submit

if you trigger this thing twice in a short window, the second heal comes a few seconds after. im guessing this is to avoid the ds3 full heal glitch

Submit

"How did you know I listen to playboi carti?"

Submit

Incredibly good with certain powerstanced weapons. Powerstanced curved swords' jump attack comes out very fast and hits 4 times which is enough to instantly proc a heal from this.

Submit

Insanely good for builds revolving around high vitality and seppuku. Health loss for a damage boost, then use a dual set of weapons and go to town, regening hp as you cut each person down. But something like Beast Vitality on in addition and there's a very slim chance of you dying outside of boss fights.

Submit

This + power-stancing great stars = vampire build

Submit

Works incredibly well with takers cameo + dual twinblades, as you only need one jumping attack to get the healing. This setup works best in catacombs and dungeons where there are lots of weaker enemies. The heal won't be all that noticable against endgame bosses so it's best to swap to another talisman e.g. millicent's prosthesis/rotten winged sword insignia

Submit

After noticing that the Man Serpents stretch and move in the same way as the Godskin apostles i started looking at stuff like this to try and find a connection. the serpent spirit ash says they where born LONG AGO, and this says Dusk/Gloam cradled newborn apostles.

Submit

Gizha's wheel, this and a good bit of poise sounds good.

Submit

Works pretty nicely with the Godslayer Greatsword, which has a relatively fast moveset but only requires 3 hits to proc the effect

Submit

This is great against Malenia

Submit

This talisman works extremely well with dual twinblades. If you connect all the hits on the jump attack it heals you every time.

Submit

I think the healing is 3%+ 30 flat

Submit

does this proc when hitting a spell that has a swarm of repeated hits e.g. comet azur or bubble shower?

Submit

The skill on Marai's Executioner Sword seems to proc this pretty often

Submit

This has been working amazing for me with Elenora's Twinblade, TBs in general should be strong with the talisman. It triggers a lot since you're attacks are so fast. Good for keeping HP topped up to combo with the Ritual Shield/Sword talismans
