Night Maiden's Mist Lore

Lore Description
"One of the night sorceries of Sellia, Town of Sorcery.

Releases a life-sapping silver mist before the caster, dealing damage to all caught within, including the caster. This sorcery can be cast while in motion.

Below Sellia, the Eternal City of Nokron sleeps. This sorcery originates from the maden of that place.

Night Maiden's Mist Effects

Night Maiden's Mist is a spell where the caster releases a life-sapping silver mist that slowly damages anything that enters it, including the caster, and will continue to damage the target a few seconds after exiting the spell.

The mists last for 15 seconds, and charging the spell allows it to cover more ground at the cost of more time to cast. Be careful of using this spell, as this guarantees that you will often take the aggro as the mist constantly damages your enemies.

How to Get Night Maiden's Mist

How to Use Night Maiden's Mist

Use to Create Distance Against Opponents

Elden Ring - Use to Create Distance Against Opponents
You can use the Night Maiden's Mist to create some space between you and your opponents when fighting melee attackers in PvP and will allow you to give yourself some room to breathe when you're constantly being approached and attacked.

Best Used in Enclosed Spaces

Elden Ring - Best Used in Enclosed Spaces
Night Maiden's Mist is very effective when fighting in closed spaces where there isn't much room to move, as you'll most likely be able to force your enemies to go through the mist.

In small hallways or rooms, using a greatshield is a good idea to block your enemies from escaping the mist.

Use to Cheese Enemies

Elden Ring - Use to Cheese Enemies
If you don't want to deal with your enemies directly, you can instead lure them inside the mist and run around it to let them slowly soak up the damage your spell inflicts.

Structures that separate you from your enemies are perfect places to put down the spell, as your enemies will have more difficulty getting to you with the structure on the way.
