2. Bleed Resistance Buffs
Hemorrhage can be a deadly status effect that causes significant damage over time if triggered by Alberich’s scythe or his Briars of Sin attack. Buffing your bleed resistance or Elden Ring Items using items that prevent Hemorrhage buildup is essential for surviving this encounter.

Bleed Resistance Buffs:
Blood-Trail Banishment Talisman: When consumed, this item significantly reduces Bleed buildup and prevents Hemorrhage for a short period. It’s best used just before entering the fight or when Alberich begins using his scythe attacks.

Flame, Cleanse Me (Incantation): Like with Frostbite, this incantation cleanses the Bleed status as well. In case you’ve taken some hits, it can be used to eliminate any Hemorrhage you’ve acquired during the battle.

Briar-Swamp Root: Consuming this root provides resistance to Hemorrhage buildup for a short period, so you can avoid the bleed status effect triggered by Alberich’s Briars of Sin or his rapid scythe slashes.

3. General Buffs for Combat Effectiveness
Beyond Frostbite and Hemorrhage resistance, you’ll want to use consumables that provide buffs to enhance your overall performance during the fight. These buffs help you mitigate damage and improve your effectiveness against Alberich’s relentless onslaught.

General Combat Buffs:
Golden Vow (Incantation): Use this buffing incantation for a temporary boost to both your damage output and defense. While it doesn’t directly counteract status effects, it provides valuable boosts for dodging attacks and surviving longer in the fight.

Fireproof Dried Liver: While primarily used for fire resistance, this consumable provides a temporary boost to all resistances, offering a small but useful buff to best place to buy elden ring items defense and status effect resistance during combat.
