Elder Dragon's Blessing: Where to Find It and What Is It For?
Released on June 21, Elden Ring: Shadow of the ErdTree is not unanimously acclaimed. This is evidenced by the feedback from certain players on Steam. The latter complain that the difficulty of the title is too high. These are certain bosses that are singled out, often described as having chains of blows that are too long, with each attack removing half of the player's life points. All without giving them the possibility of counterattacking. To make the difficulty curve more progressive, Bandai Namco and From Software have released an update making the of the Occult-Tree more effective in the first part of the game. Some mods, developed by the players themselves, also reduce the difficulty.
However, there are other ways to reduce damage taken and make boss fights easier. Besides summoning spirits, other players, or collecting splinters, it's a consumable that can change your approach to a fight.
There is in the Jagged Peak a Altar of Draconic Communion. You will see a servant there who offers you to “consumer” something. Say yes and that you will help her in her quest. She then offers to exchange your dragon hearts for new incantations. She also offers you a Ancient Dragon Blessing. This reduces all types of damage during a fight. If it's a consumable, you can definitely return to the maid after using her to ask for another one.
There blessing of the ancient dragon can be consumed before any boss fight: it is not exclusive to Bayle, the Terrible. We haven't measured its duration yet, so perhaps using it at a more opportune moment is more relevant. We're thinking in particular of boss transitions, when they change phase. They often allow you to use consumables. This is the case for the Divine Beast Dancing Lion And Rellana, Knight of the Twin Moons among others. That's almost 4 points in each defense-related statistic that are added.

Be careful though. If you kill Bayle the Dreadful, the servant disappears as well as the possibility of recovering the blessing. Besides the intrinsic power of the boss, it is also because we can obtain this very useful consumable that we will often want face him last.
