Old Lord's Talisman | Elden Ring Wiki

if you've killed Rykard in the Volcano Manor, you will also be invaded by Recusant Bernahl on the walkway. This line is a lie unless the killing of rykard carries over into newgame+ as i have not killed rykard in this run and the inavder still spawned

Submit

Just tested it, and apparently it doesn't work with Zamor Ice Storm. Which is very frustrating. But I guess if the spell lasted longer you could spam more of them even before the first one ended.

Submit

Honestly worth it just for the convenience of not having to re-apply buffs as often. Great if you're always running HP Regen incants and golden vow.

Submit

Just tested this with Bloodboon, roughly timed it added 1 second to the flames on the ground. It does not increase the amount of time the effect lasts on your opponent.

Submit

is it worth running if I have bestial vitality and blood blame blade(only these 2 spells)? or filigreed crest will be better since I have unsheathe ash?

Submit

This and Golden Vow are a match made in heaven.

Submit

For buff-focused builds this is easily pound-for-pound one of the best talismans. Tons of value, the extra time really adds up. And especially for shorter buffs like Black Flame Blade and FGMS it can make the difference between “way too short” and “pretty usable”

Submit

Wish I knew if this caused magma to spawn longer ..

Submit

Now its confirmed that placidusax was a 4head not a 5head

Submit

Does this work on talismans and helm effects eg white mask and L,o,B,E

Submit

Should double the length.

Submit

imagine needing to buff more than once per fight, couldn't be me

Submit

does it buff flame grant me strength and bloodlflame blade? both of them buff me and my sword, but just gotta make sure yk

Submit

Does this extend the damage on the black blade incarnation?

Submit

I heard this extends the DoT effect of blackflame & destined death, can anyone confirm?

Submit

saves a ton of fp in the long run, i pretty much never have downtime on my bestial vitality

Submit

I severely wish this affected endure it wouldn't much but it would be a benefit

Submit

Why the hell do we get this so late?

Submit

GUYS I HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION ON THIS WEBSITE, DOES THIS EXTEND BUBBLES?

Submit

"Testing results shows that the talisman adds spell duration based on the amount of time the talisman has been equipped, in relation to the length of the spell. This is always a 30% duration increase in relation to that time."

A better way to say/conceptualize this would be that while equipped, the talisman causes active spell durations to elapse 30% more slowly

Submit

Probably doesn't work with AoE so Endure doesn't go up to 4 seconds.

Submit

this does not effect death lightning. is the item bugged or does it not effect damage spells/incantations?

Submit

Anyone know if this increqs3s the blackflame,destined death and bloodflame effects that linger?

Submit

This SHOULD affect AoW because of how insanely late in the game you get this tali.

Submit

This should probably affect ashes of war as well. Maybe physick tears, but honestly most of those are strong enough already.

Submit

No change to queen's black flame.

Submit

Does this affect the death cloud duration on death lightning?

Submit

Does not increase Zamor Ice Storm duration

Submit

Does not increase the duration of Braggart's Roar (tested on 1.08.1).

Submit

very worth it if you rely on a lot of buffs for the bulk of your damage

Submit

It does not extend Zamor Ice storm at all

Submit

I'm curious about how it affects debuffs. Specifically Greyol's Roar. Looks like I'm needing out today.

Submit

Does anyone know if this increases the time for Scarlet Rot inflicted by spells (Scarlet Aeonia, Rot Breath)? I'm assuming it doesn't.

Submit

does it work on vykes dragonbolt too?

Submit

Does it increase duration of golden fowl foot?

Submit

This+black flame blade incantation+beast roar= dovahkiin... Dragonborn! Fus ro dah! Break the law! ****ing cool! Oh my God!

Submit

This does affect blackflame incantations but not by very much blackflame blade lasted just over two seconds longer according to the stopwatch on my phone but less of a difference to how long an uncharged cast of blackflame ritual lasted. It's debateable if this is worth giving a talisman slot over something with more substantial benefit.

Submit

I read somewhere that this affects the burning duration for Black Flame incantations. Haven't tested this myself

Submit

would have liked if this buffed greases too, getting more grease is a pain in the ass

Submit

Does this work with Debuffs on enemies? I.E. Poison Mist, Black Blades' 'destined death' effect?

Submit

Very helpful with platinuming elden ring

Submit

very good with weapon buffs like black flame blade. lets you stack up a lot of DoT

Submit

“Does not increase the distance a projectile sorcery travels.”

Too bad we don’t have a talisman for that. :( Even 10% would be nice.

Submit

very underrated talisman, especially with regen buffs

Submit

Does not increase the duration of Founding Rain of Stars. I tested this thoroughly.

Submit

Does this increase the DoT from the black flame incantations ? or with black flame ritual, is it the pillars of black flame that last longer before needing to be cast again but the DoT is the same with or without this talisman?

Submit

I'm confused by the wiki. Does this just extend duration of incantion buffs or would it also effect something like dragon breath incantations or pest threads

Submit

This increases time of like helphen unique skill??

Submit

Anybody use this with swarm of flies after the patch?

Submit

The neatest thing about this talisman is that it is a clever nod to its DS3 equivalent. Dragonlord Placidusax, the Old Lord depicted, is literally a Lingering Dragon.

Submit

Extremely yonic talisman. If you don't know what that word means, look it up.

Submit

Does this increase the length of say the "black fire damage peel" where it's your fireball impact and health drain?

Submit

Does affect Rallying Standard duration but not Golden Vow. I am assuming the skill has to be default, not applied from Ash of War for the duration to be affected.

Submit

Interesting that this talisman depicts Placidusax as having 4 heads instead of two. At the very least, Placidusax's body when we fight him DOES look like it has a third, broken off head.

Submit

It really bugs me how in every FS game this extends incoming buff duration rather than outgoing buff duration. Buffing the duration of outgoing spells would be way more straightforward and better for support builds.

Submit

Okay, I read the page. What does “extend duration” mean for spells like Stars of Ruin? I tried it with Founding Stars of Rain, but I didn’t notice anything. I wanna know if it will be useful for me

Submit

Bernahl invaded me just like the wiki said; but as soon as I backed up towards the ladder, he returned to his world. So I got lucky lol

Submit

Does this make black flame blade last longer, as in the spell itself and not the DOT damage ?

Submit

Curious if this extends the duration of Fia's Mist cloud and Darkness, both are Spells and both have quite the short duration, a 30% duration buff would make them more viable for unorthodox builds.

Submit

Does it increase blackflame dot duration by 30% aswell? Dot does percentage of enemies health so the duration buff would make it strong no??

Submit

Does this talisman effect the spell unseen form and unseen blade?

Submit

It kinda reminds me of something....

Submit

Really really needs to apply to all buffs casted. This would be a game changer in coop for a lot of bosses to play more support and super buff your team. If I could for example, keep Lord's Divine on my host for the entire Radagon fight, there would be so much more room for him to not get destroyed. Literally no reason for it no to do this imo since it is already a pure support talisman

Submit

Does it work with the damage buff from Lord of Blood’s Exhaltation?

Submit

This talisman makes you realize almost every buff in the game should have a longer standard duration, especially weapon buffs from spells and incantations. The way combat functions in both PvE and PvP leaves players little to no time to reapply buffs once a fight starts. Sure, it could be argued that it's a risk to take, but you're already spending FP, stamina, and a really slow cast for it.

Submit

Does not work with: Food, Perfumes, or Physick (tested with Boiled Crab, Bloodboil Aromatic, Cerulean Hidden Tear, Leaden Hardtear)

Submit

I hate that I can’t use this to extend Helphen’s Steeple. That sword would be god tier if the buff lasted closer to the duration of DMGS buff. Oh well.

Submit

Does it affect spells like black flame ritual or bloodboon?

Submit

Work on boiled crab?

Submit

Does this increase the length of debuffs from spells like rannis dark moon?

Submit

I can just imagine the DLC final boss being "real placie" who's got all his 4 heads and double the flame-beam spam

Submit

Will my teammates benefit from the duration increase if I cast Golden Vow with the talisman equipped, if they do not have it equipped themselves?

Submit

The best use of this talisman is in pvp when buffing with multiple spells, especially black flame’s protection. Black flame’s protection tends to fall off mid duel, causing you to take an additional up to 35% more damage. This talisman ensures that even against passive players most of your buffs will remain. I have hundreds of hours dueling and can confirm that most duels last about 40 seconds. Using commander’s buff last right before the duel almost ensures 100% uptime with this talisman unless you’re facing bloodhound step. I usually finger sever bhs users anyways…

Submit

does this increase the effect of the perfumer's aromatics?
I.E. the ironjar and bloodboil aromatics.

Submit

Could you equip this talisman, activate a spell/incantation that's effected by it, then un-equip the talisman, and still have the talisman's effect on your spell/incantation, since you've already activated your spell/incantation?

Submit

They should've increased the durations or made more versions of this. I find buffs pretty underwhelming due to how fast they wear off and most fights take pretty long or sometimes getting even a hit in on an enemy or boss.

Submit

Does this affect status duration or DoT such as rot breath and black flame?

Submit

Casually forgetting to mention in the "Where to find" that this is guarded by an NPC invasion and a few enemies.

Oh Fextra wiki writers, never change.

Submit

Does it work with triggered effects like warcry duration or consecutive attack buffs?

Submit

As of 1.04, if buff are applied to your summons while wearing this talisman, they will not be affected by the extended duration like your character (tested with Golden Vow and Blessing of the Erdtree), probably an oversight.

Submit

One of the coolest descriptions for any item in the game

Submit

Seems like this doesn't affect anything that doesn't explicitly apply a buff of some kind, which is disappointing. For example, Fire's Deadly Sin's duration IS increased. However, Poison Mist's cloud duration and DoT duration are NOT increased. Black Flame Ritual's AoE duration isn't increased. Flame of the Fell God's explosion delay or ground fire duration aren't increased. Bloodboon's puddle duration isn't increased. Elden Stars duration isn't increased. Founding Rain of Stars duration isn't increased. This is basically just for extending supportive spells/incantations and has little-to-no offensive purpose, from what I can tell.

Submit

It's worth checking whether this does what similar items in previous Souls games did for regen effects - it juts spreads the ticks out over the longer duration, but doesn't add any.

Submit

buff durations are so short to begin with. they couldnt make this 50% increase?

Submit

Does it increase the time of the lingering bloodflame from bloodboon?

Submit

imagine if from put the lingering dragoncrest ring in the kiln
like imagine guys

Submit

Is this worth it? Given most buffs last pretty long already. Maybe for Flame grant me strength since it’s only 30s at base?

Submit

Does it make debuffs applied by spells last longer? e.g. Black Blade's HP cut, Full/Dark Moon's magic resist cut

Submit

Pretty handy for paladin builds where you find you’re applying multiple buffs to yourself often. More of a convenience thing than something that’ll increase your actual throughput, but it is nice to have buffs last longer during those boss fights where it’d otherwise fall off near the end.

Submit

Shoutout to the homie who made the map and path

Submit

Does this affect DoT dmg like the ones caused by Godslayer Incantations?

Submit

Tested with Dark Moon Greatsword buff to confirm, and it does not work.

Submit

Does this increase you’re flask of wonderous physick?

Submit

To clarify for everyone, this only works on BUFF INCANTATIONS (ie, Golden vow, Blessing of the Erdtree, Flame Grant Me Strength, Electrify Armament, etc) and BUFF SORCERIES (Scholar's armament, Unseen Form, Frozen Armament, and maybe Starlight), and has no effect on any weapon skill whatsoever.

Submit

Does this affect Terra Magica?

Submit

I cannot look at this talisman without seeing a cat

Submit

Does it work with perfumes?

Submit

Make a note that this affects HP/s spells positively, unlike DS3. HP/sec is unaffected, but increases duration, resulting in more total HP regenerated. Unless you’re running high faith with erdtree seal, this leaves instant heals obsolete except for niche cases where you need instant group heal in a pinch

Submit

I sometimes hate this god damn wiki. Does it or does it not increase the duration of AoW buffs? Some dudes said that this extends the Rallying standard's duration by 9 seconds and according to this page that shouldn't be the case.
