Embrace the Sleep (And Boost Your Damage)

For a more creative and powerful approach, let yourself fall asleep intentionally use it to your advantage with St. Trina's Smile talisman. This talisman gives a massive 20% damage bonus when you're under the effect of Sleep.

Keep your Focus below 310, use the Lulling Branch, and let yourself slip into a drowsy state-then unleash devastating attacks with your spells or enchanted weapons during the damage buff window. This technique turns a downside into a tactical boost and allows you to maximize both damage and resource regen.

Pro tip: Equip the Blessed Blue Dew Talisman to stack FP regen even further, or combine with Starlight Shards to create a massive mana pool over time.

How to Get the Lulling Branch Recipe

To craft Lulling Branches, you'll need St. Trina Disciple's Cookbook [3], which is hidden deep within Shadow of the Erdtree.

Where to Find It:

Head to the Garden of Deep Purple

Defeat the Putrescent Knight

Explore the nearby cave

Inside, you'll find St. Trina Disciple's Cookbook [3]

1x Dewgem

1x Nectarblood Burgeon

1x Beast Horn

Farming Materials:

Dewgem: Drop near the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, near the Fire Golem

Nectarblood Burgeon: Found around the Stone Coffin Fissure; kill the local fauna

Why Lulling Branches Are Game-Changing

There's a reason Lulling Branches may be the best consumable in the expansion for spellcasters. With proper Focus management or by embracing the Sleep status for buffs, this consumable can:

Save your Flask charges

Let you redistribute stats

Enable high spell uptime

Increase your burst damage

Stack with you to buy Elden Ring Items like Starlight Shards

Be used during tough bosses where Flask usage is risky

This makes them an essential tool for anyone who leans on magi, especially for long fights, NG+ runs, or challenging DLC bosses.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're playing a pure mage or a hybrid battle-mage, the Lulling Branch is one of the best additions to your toolkit in Shadow of the Erdtree. With smart planning and either high Focus or the right talisman setup, you'll turn this sleepy consumable into your weapon.
