Golden Vow Lore

Lore Description
"An incantation of Erdtree Worship.

Increases attack power and defense for the caster and nearby allies. Hold to continue praying and delay activation.

This incantation has been taught to knights of the royal capital for generations, and knights sent on distant expeditions lean on it as a source of courage."

Golden Vow Effects

Golden Vow is an AoE support incantation that gives you and your allies a damage and defense buff for 80 seconds. Additionally, the damage buff of Golden Vow also buffs the damage dealt by your spells.

  • In PvE, players will deal 15% more damage and take 10% less damage.
  • In PvP, players will deal 7.5% more damage and take 5% less damage.

How to Use Golden Vow

Quality Buff for PvP and PvE

Elden Ring - Quality Buff for PvP and PvE
Golden Vow is a great overall buff when engaging in both PvP and PvE. Being an AoE spell makes it great for co-op engagements against bosses and invaders, while its dual buff to both attack and defense also make it great for solo invaders.

Given how long Golden Vow lasts, it is best cast at the start of a fight. Later on, it can be replaced by quickcast buffs like Flame Grant Me Strength or Black Flame's Protection as needed.

Can be Used to Stack Buffs

Elden Ring - Can be Used to Stack Buffs
Golden Vow is classified as an area buff, meaning it does not stack with other area buffs like the attack bonus of Rallying Standard. However, it does stack with other body buffs and weapon buffs after being cast. Some notable examples of skills and spells it stacks with are as follows:

Duration Can be Extended by Old Lord's Talisman

To extend the duration of Golden Vow, swap in the Old Lord's Talisman before casting. This will extend the duration of Golden Vow to 104 seconds, making it a perfect candidate for stacking buffs before starting a fight.
