Talisman Buffs

One reliable way to apply buffs to your character in Elden Ring is by equipping Talisman. To check if your character is receiving a buff from a Talisman, look under the HP, FP, and Stamina bar for the Talisman's icon.

All Debuffs

Debuff	Description	Granted By
Red Square Debuff	・Maximum health is reduced by 5%.	・Being hugged by Fia, Deathbed Companion
	・You cannot Fast Travel from your current location.	・Being in underground locations ・After being snared by a teleportation trap

How to Remove Red Square Debuff

If, in a moment of weakness or curiousity, you accepted Fia's embrace, you probably noticed a red square with a downward pointing arrow under your HP, FP, and Stamina bars shortly.

In order to remove the effects of the Red Square Debuff, use Baldachin's Blessing, which Fia gave you when you accepted her hug.

What are Buffs and Debuffs?

Buffs and Debuffs Passively Affect Your Stats

By now you've probably noticed little red, blue, or green squares on your hud from time to time. These indicate that your character is receiving a buff or debuff.

Buffs and debuffs are passive status effects that slightly alter a core stat or mechanic either positively or negatively (and sometimes a mix). Buffs and Debuffs are indicated as icons under your HP, FP, and Stamina meters.

How to Tell Permanent Buffs/Debuffs vs Temporary Buffs/Debuffs

In Elden Ring, some buffs and debuffs are applied via your equipment, Talismans, or Great Runes. Still others occur when you consume a particular item or are hit with an attack by an enemy. The effect will last until the equipment or Great Rune is unequipped and will not diminish over time. These are denoted by the effect icon being on a square background.

Temporary buffs and debuffs, on the other hand, will go away over time. You can tell a buff or debuff is temporary when it has a diamond background.

Permanent	Temporary

Can Buffs and Debuffs Be Stacked?

Yes, your character can have multiple buffs and/or debuffs active at once. To see all buffs and debuffs stacking, check the icons on your HUD below the HP, FP and Stamina bars.
