Great Magic Barrier is a miracle in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Miracle of Bishop Havel the Rock. Cover body in powerful def. magic coating.
Havel the Rock, an old battlefield compatriot of Lord Gwyn, was the sworn enemy of Seath the Scaleless. He despised magic, and made certain to devise means of counteraction.

Availability[]

Found in Ash Lake, inside the hollow tree. When entering the tree normally, the spell will be unreachable. To reach it, the player must walk on the branch outside (the one with a Basilisk on it) and stop halfway, turn the camera, and fall down onto a lower branch.

General Information[]

Great Magic Barrier reduces all magic damage taken by 90% for its duration. Great Magic Barrier is considered a personal buff and thus cannot be used in conjunction with other personal buffs, such as Power Within, Flash Sweat, or even Green Blossoms etc.

Trivia[]

  • The English localization of the Great Magic Barrier describes Havel as a "bishop". However, a more accurate translation of「岩のような」ハベルの司祭に伝えられる奇跡 would be "A miracle told to priests of Havel the Rock". This confirms the fact that Havel himself wasn't a bishop but rather had clerics that followed him in the same way Gwyndolin, Velka and Gwynevere had priests and maidens, implying that Havel too was a god.
