On the plus side, though, Fia does give you a very easy way to get rid of that HP punishment. Once you\u2019ve played Elden Ring for long enough, you\u2019ll probably have run into Fia, the Deathbed Companion. And, if you\u2019ve run into her and enjoy the warmth of companionship, you\u2019ll probably have taken her up on her offer for a hug. Hugging, cuddling, and embracing are not typically activities one would expect from a Hidetaka Miyazaki game. So, it should not have been too surprising to find out that the sweet interaction comes at a cost. More specifically, hugging Fia gives players a semi-permanent 5% health debuff \u2013 which has explained a lot of players\u2019 confusion. Fortunately, getting rid of it is incredibly easy \u2013 you just need to use the Baldachin\u2019s Blessing consumable item that she gives you. Elden Ring players surprised with health debuff after hugging lady The best part about Elden Ring is having someone always willing to give you a hug after a tough battle pic.twitter.com\/4PutnnyVL4 \u2014 DansGaming (@Dansgaming) March 1, 2022 A lot of Elden Ring players were delighted to find out they could have a hug in the game, with a number of tweets excited about the option. Screen-shotting the embrace, \u2018DansGaming\u2019 called it \u201cthe best part about Elden Ring,\u201d while others said the cute experience was \u201c10\/10.\u201d Little did they know, the hug isn\u2019t as innocent as it may seem (and not in the\u2026 Witcher 3-esque romantic way that some might hope). How to get rid of Elden Ring\u2019s hug health debuff DO NOT hug this lady in #EldenRing. She&#8217;ll cause you a negative buff where you lose 5% of your Health Power (top corner, red box, arrow down). Use Baldachin&#8217;s Blessing (she gives this consumable) to get rid of it. You should only hug her if you&#8217;re ready about to fight a boss. pic.twitter.com\/beBwgPdyLI \u2014 Patrick Maka (@PMaka1991) February 28, 2022 As many are now realizing, hugging the lady in Elden Ring actually punishes you with a 5% semi-permanent health debuff. Here\u2019s how to get rid of it: Hug the lady &#8211; Enjoy the embrace &#8211; Use the \u201cBaldachin\u2019s Blessing\u201d consumable item &#8211; Once the item runs out, your health debuff will be removed &#8211; Basically, the hug removes 5% of your total HP and cannot be removed by death, rest, or restorative items. To get rid of it, you have to use Baldachin\u2019s Blessing, which temporarily raises your Poise. Once the blessing runs out, both your Poise and HP will return to normal. As soon as that\u2019s done, you can go back for another hug \u2013 as Fia will continue punishing your health and granting you Baldachin\u2019s Blessing to remove that punishment as many times as you\u2019d like. And now you know exactly what strings are attached when you get intimate with Elden Ring\u2019s Deathbed Companion. Hopefully, this means you won\u2019t end up feeling as betrayed as Twitter\u2019s \u2018SophNar,\u2019 who \u201cjust wanted to be loved\u201d and reacted to the debuff by saying \u201cthis is why I\u2019m a misogynist.
