Denial is a miracle in Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King.

In-Game Description

An ancient miracle owed to the cardinal of Shulva. Challenge fate one time when HP reaches 0.

Originally intended to grant the dying a few moments for a final farewell.

General Information

Prevents health from falling below one HP. Deactivates when the health bar reaches one HP. If the player uses Denial when their health bar is already at one HP, then the next blow will deal no damage. The duration scaling of this spell depends on Faith. This duration range starts at 14 Faith at 60 seconds, due to this spicing down the requirement to 10 is not advisable. The upper end of the duration is 240 seconds at 44 Faith where the duration scaling caps.

Availability

Denial is found in the Dragon's Sanctum, behind a rotating door. The player needs to use arrows or consumable items to activate the door.

Notes

• Denial does not protect against fall damage.
