The Elder Pledge stops the Grandmapocalypse for thirty minutes. This can be increased to one hour by purchasing the Sacrificial Rolling Pins Upgrade. The satanic grannies in the page background slowly fade back to normal, then back to the striped blue-and-white background. Golden Cookies also start appearing again. The first one costs 64 cookies, and this cost is multiplied by 8 every time it's purchased. As of 1.037, the Elder Pledge has a price cap of 4,398,046,511,104 or 814.
