Elden Ring- Eternal Sleep Showcase VS The Godskins ft.Thiollier's needle 

Eternal Sleep Functions- 1. Main difference from Normal sleep is that Common enemies once eternally slept will not wake up no matter what, unlike sleep where if you hit them once they wake up. 2. With Elite Enemies both sleep and eternal sleep work the same i.e. it doesn't they get stunned for a millisecond before shaking it off. You have to time the Theolliar's Needle skill within that small time frame to get the burst damage. 3. Godskins and Man Serpents are very easy to sleep. With eternal sleep the Godskins start their wake up animation after 3-4 hits with my testing and with regular sleep they take at most 2 hits before beginning the wake up animation. 4. The human Rememberence bosses if slept will have the same animation as the elite enemies(Malenia, Godfrey etc. NOT RADAGON) but only on the first phase and their resistances are VERY high regardless. 5. Rykard on the first phase has the Head shaking animation but for some reason the Sleep talisman doesn't proc nor does the weapon skill burst damage during that time. 6. In PVP both sleeps share the same status bar and has the same effect of stunning you for a little bit, but eternal sleep drains your fp more than regular sleep 7. Even though the ripple cresent halberd and axe got nerfed they'll still be the best to apply sleep grease to for sleep buildup. A new dlc spear called The Bloodfiend's spear also has an Innate arcane scaling which is much inferior to the S scaling of the Ripple weapons but this spear's AOW can be changed and it has passive bleed 8.Both Swords of Trina are basically the exact same Except obviously the status effects, Velvet just gets slightly better int scalings while Normal one gets slightly better Str and Dex scaling

-Hey, hey funny guy, I got a joke for you! What smells rotten, and puts Godskins to sleep?! -Um, noxious gas? -No! The Velvet Sword of St. Trina! *crowd roars*

Eternal Sleep is just as Useless/Useful as normal sleep but Because of Theolliar's Needle and the Talisman, it's somewhat good even if doesn't sleep enemies

Okay so here's a little advice for the Velvet St Trina sword: You actually want to use a second weapon with it since the ashes of war put the special buff on BOTH of them at the same time. So u can basicly inflict eternal sleeps two times faster if your second weapon is from the same weapon type and an enchantable one of course, using one with similar scaling is usally your go too. (Like the basic St Trina Sword for example)

The fact that Sleep is so effective against Serpentine enemies makes me wonder if St. Trina wasn't supposed to utilize that strength against some greater serpent.

I wish besides being slightly longer than base game St. Trina sword and the sleep being the same in PvP(it could of acted like deadly poison to base poison--not talking about scarlet rot), and gave like a second longer of stun with eternal sleep or something. Also the AoW could of been different while also coating it in that sweet velvet sleep infusion so it's not the same as the base St. Trina sword. A different moveset would of been nice too, it could of been a light greatsword if not slightly small for one? I'm unsure of the full size atm. One of the few things that sadly just got shafted over some other weapons and or such. Which is kind of sad since St. Trina became a bigger presence in the DLC.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I'm only a few hours into the DLC but I'm so excited to NG+ with all the new stuff haha. It's what I always enjoy in the Souls games. I feel like now you can truly make like a full poison or sleep build and stuff like that as long as you don't care about min/max lol.

I like that since this sleep doesn't immediately break after the first hit it opens up new strategies for killing them aside form just massive single hit attacks. For example you could use firss deadly sin/immolation with frost weapons to rapid proc frostbite over and over.

Thanks for showing us this. The moment I got Thiollier’s Needle and tested it on like normal grunts I immediately wondered “would it put Godskins to sleep for the entire duration of the fight?” Regardless, the Duo can still be trivialized with this weapon, so I’m glad.

is there any difference between the swords aside from the type of sleep? the model for the velvet looks longer but idk if the hitbox is any different

I guess you could say the Godskins were… SLEEPIN’ on’m. I’ll see myself out

Naptime :)

can u still procc eternal sleep just by hitting with the weapon or does it have to be the weapon skill?

as soon as i saw this new Eternal Sleep stuff showing up in the dlc, my first thought was "oh fuck, there really is going to be a godskin trio." needless to say im actually disappointed that never happened. more so that basically nothing in the dlc feels like it'd be great to use eternal sleep on.

so what are the key differences between regular and eternal sleep? beyond Thiollier’s needle getting a damage buff

That didn't look very eternal. Would hardly even call it long.

I have a small question : I'm new on elden ring, and there's nothing on the wiki about Theollier's needle. Where can it be found ? In the dlc ?

What armor set is that? Igon's?

I feel like sleep is bugged every time I use it. Everything just wakes up immediately. I thought eternal sleep was supposed to be eternal

Godskin duo shakin in their boots rn

Hey, where is second phase music on bosses? 😂 No, I really wonder

nice, but wouldn't sleep scale with intelligence more than arcane?

Does the needle do anything else special outside of applying Eternal Sleep

You snooze you lose I guess.

Would this be viable if you add a weapon to apply bleed, poison or scarlet rot? Just do a full on status effect build? Or maybe if you do another playthrough and power stance the needle or sword?

holy hell that damage

How do you get the sword and talisman?

If you hit an elite enemy with it and then leave them alone, how long does it last for?

I thought arcane only boosted sleep if the weapon has natural arcane scaling?

Triggers faster than normal sleep?

What does this version of sleep do to players?

Does that work like bleed?

Try it in pvp

Imagine Gojo cosplayers with this build

I love you

U might possibly have the worst stats for that build. Arcane doesn’t help build up sleep. If u haven’t noticed it’s a dex arcane weapon lmao
