Once you entered the Roundtable Hold in Elder Ring you will visit NPC Fia who lies in her death bed.
She will ask you if she can hug you. It’s your decision if you want to hug her yes or not. However, while hugging she will chant a spell and you will get Baldachain blessing. With it, you will get an instant boost and you will be able to fight your opponent’s boss more efficiently.
Sounds interesting right! but there’s a catch with it, your character will get a red debuff. Because of it, your character will lose 5% health. It will weaken you immediately against the Bosses.
Here’s a solution for your health deduction :
Your character will not be able to get rid of red debuff easily. Even death won’t help. However, the only to get rid of this debuff is to use or destroy Baldchain Blessingto remove it from your inventory. Once it’s used you will get back your healthy life in the game.
Moreover, If you prefer Baldchain blessing over your 5% health deduction, you can always go back to Fia for a hug.
She will be more than happy to give you a hug. Though it will be beneficial for you if you attack your opponent’s bosses immediately after getting the blessing. Otherwise, it’s ultimately your decision to accept the hug or deny it.
The blessing has its own advantages like it will use a small amount of FP and raises your poise during combat. You will get help while fighting challenging bosses like Margit and Godrick.
Remember it poise can only lead you some far in the game and Fia is not the only bug you will face so many bugs like these will appear in the game. You need a proper strategy to use the blessing properly otherwise you will face difficulty.
Well in the end it’s up to you whether you want a blessing or not.
