Godslayer's Seal is a Sacred Seal in Elden Ring. It is found early on, in Stormveil Castle.

The Godslayer's Seal is the sacred seal of the Godskin Apostles, inlaid with obsidian and said to represent the manipulation of black flame. It sits in a chest behind a Stonesword Key fog wall in the cellar off the courtyard of Stormveil Castle, past a room of rats. It boosts black flame incantations, Black Flame, Black Flame Ritual and Scouring Black Flame, by 10%, and two stack the boost. Its incantation scaling is high from 27 to 68 Faith before the Erdtree Seal pulls ahead, and it upgrades with regular Smithing Stones, so it suits a Faith build from the midgame on.

Stats

Godslayer's Seal is the strongest pure Faith seal through the 27 to 68 Faith range, reaching 329 at 80 Faith at max upgrade. On top of that it adds 10% to Black Flame, Black Flame Ritual and Scouring Black Flame, and the boost stacks with a second copy, which makes it the natural core of a Black Flame build from the middle of the game onward.
