Longtail Cat Talisman fall damage immunity?

[Dran_____]

So, I was running around on the roof of the academy, and I got to this ladder leading me down, and instead of going down the ladder, I had the talisman equipped and dropped down, only to die from fall damage.

Is that a bug or is there a limitation that is not stated anywhere? I feel I can't trust that Talisman when it is like this. I think this is something that should be fixed or be informed about.

the talisman's pretty bad. It only protects you from jumps in that very small window between 'totally fine' and 'instant death'. jumps that fall in the instant death category will still kill you

it wont make you invincible if its a drop that will one shot you. it only helps with drops that would cost some of your hp normally

[mewlynx]

the talisman prevents fall damage you would have taken, but doesn't decrease the height you can fall from and survive. it's basically pointless in this game, as fall damage only happens when you're near lethal fall height anyways.

[MrWitz]

Yup, useless talisman. And as with almost everything in FROM games, it's terribly described.

[Timbermaw]

Yeah it's 100% useless. In dark souls 2 and 3 it actually let you make impossible jumps

[Dran_____]

Okay, I understand. I think it should be made so it makes you invincible to all fall damage as long as it's not outside the map or incredibly far. This would make it useful, and at the same time allow for more interesting routing options at times.

It literally tells you in the description that it does _not_ prevent lethal drops.

Yeah you are not immune to death. In fact I don't believe the talisman extends your survivable fall distance at all. It only erases fall damage for falls that are still survivable.

The maximum survivable fall distance is 20 meters. And by default the first 16 meters will not do any damage anyway. That only leaves a 4 meter margin where you can take damage and not die. Within that 4 meter space the minimum damage you will take is 30% of your HP and the maximum you can take is 50% HP. Anything beyond 50% would mean that the fall is greater than 20 meters and you will die no matter what talisman or spell you are using.

Okay, to be fair, it doesn't say anything about it if you look at the simple description, and besides, it says "However, it cannot prevent falling to ones death" which is kinda vague. I assumed it would mean falling off the map and such, since being immune to fall damage means not taking damage from falling, whereas falling off the map is some other source of damage.

if a fall normally gives you damage and you live the talisman makes it so that fall doesn't give you damage, anything outside that range is still insta.

Simple understanding problems.
You can throw a "Rainbow Stone" off a ledge. If the stone makes it to the ground makes the fall non-lethal.
If it crumbles and explodes the fall is lethal. Try it, its been like that since Dark Souls 1.
