Dragoncrest Shield Talisman | Elden Ring Wiki

This may be a no brainer question but say I used a scorpion charm that has us take 10% more physical damage. If I even used the +0 version where we take 10% less, would that be a wash on extra damage? And If I had, say, the Dragoncrest greatshield talisman which gives 20% physical damage negation would that just be a net 10% negation? Basic math here.

wait yo i can wax it if you want

Fromsoft did a great job making +0 version, I'll never see so much whiners under easy-to-get talisman page

Submit

What does 10/13/17/20 mean

Submit

"Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman is the direct upgrade of this Talisman" erm. no? this one is better

Submit

Why it's here is because you can get this right in the beginning of the game. Every run I do I go get this by hoping through the sending gate in Limgrave right after D marks it on the map (you can just run right to the sending gate if you want), besides the platforming there's only two bat creatures you gotta fight to get it. First time I got it I just followed the messages pointing the way.

Submit

oh shoot, i just completed the dlc and really convinced myself the entire way that the regular version of this was the best possible variation. i feel sort of like i'm an elderly woman, entirely in belief santa claus is real my whole life, only for my grandson to tell me "no gran, he isn't real" after 84 years.

Submit

I thought to myself "why the holy f*ck I don't have such a meme talisman yet?" now I know I have to act like Spider-man and Mario (drugged by mushroom) to get it. It is because of it I stopped being like Indiana Jones in Elden Ring, it doesn't matter how much you explore the map, you will forget a place, I'm tired of walking by the border of ledges and cliffs looking down for platforms to land on. Now I come here to know what I didn't find yet after I've finished a region. I'm still telling bad words in my mind, this was really mind f*cking.

Submit

so strange that the weakest version is the hardest to get, have every version but the base one

Submit

Too much of a pain in the ass to get.

Submit

If I had to choose only 1 talisman, it'd be this. frickin goated

Submit

The base talisman disappeared from my inventory, sum bullll

Submit

Once i put this talisman, i will never remove it lol

Submit

They shouldn't have made a +1 or +2 version of this, but should have let you equip it WITH the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman. This would have been similar to how you can equip both the lesser and greater versions of the incantation/sorcery boosting talismans.

Submit

Probably been said a few times already but it's really disappointing that the +2 variant is locked behind Farum Azula. It's instantly obsolete because most people do Haligtree before Farum Azula, thus getting you the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman. It should be moved to Giant-Slaying Heroes Grave, in my opinion, at least then it would give more incentive to do that dungeon, and it wouldn't be instantly obsolete by the time most players actually find it.

Submit

Something the page doesn't mention is that if you take the +0 version and the dagger from below the Bestial Sanctum, the Black Blade Kindred boss outside will aggro on you, but he won't otherwise. I'm not sure if it's one or the other or both. I can't be bothered to do the jumps a second time just to test it out.

Submit

Why would you not put what is the essentially +3 version of the talisman on this page? Sure, it has a different name, but it does the exact same thing as these other 3 talismans.

Submit

I'm pretty convinced that putting the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman outside of Bestial Sanctum is another design screwup that will never be fixed. Why would you put the lowest level physical dmg negation talisman in an area that's late game (Dragonbarrow) and then, just to be more ridiculous, at the bottom of some pretty huge platforming AND guarded by flying mobs...

I just got it on one character just to see if it was as stupid as I thought and have skipped it ever since (and yeah I know about the dagger too).

Submit

is it better to have this or arsenal talisman for more weight to equip bigger armor?

Submit

For the first one, I made sure I had zero runes...And trial and error for me down there in 8 tries or so. Caelid Divine and the Rain of Arrows were harder

Submit

With all of these defensive talismans I just keep asking myself why the amount is so heavily reduced for PvP. What would be much better is to decrease the added amount depending on the existing defenses.

Bassically like defense works normally but even more into that direction. If you have 25% physical negation and you put that on you should get the entire 17% added like you do normally in the game. But with higher base defense like 45% the amount should be reduced to something like it is now during PvP (let's say 7 or 8%). They're not super viable in PvE if you plan on dodging and already have your slots full so making them even less useful in PvP just eliminates them from the roster entirely.

Submit

is the fog wall 1 or 2 stoneswords?

Submit

The +2 variant is literally too far into the game. It is actually easier and better to get the Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman. Yet another sad example of an instantly obsolete item.

Submit

Why are these nerfed in pvp seriously if you could have more defense in pvp it would definitely help mediate the complaining from people saying stuff hits too hard just saying.

Submit

I see no reason to get the base version or the dagger behind bestial sanctum. For the divine tower of Caelid and the frenzied flame proscription just watch a YT video jump by jump and drop by drop. Use the spirit spring for 'rain of arrows'.

Submit

Thanks for this map, was extremely helpful and I did it on my first try. Also no way I would’ve ever found this stuff by myself, hell no.

Submit

The real power of this talisman is allowing your fashion souls to come before protection.
Pain in the ass to get, but 100% worth it

Submit

I almost missed the +0 thinking "there's no way I'm actually supposed to be here, is there?". The fact that they spawned bats there was probably the only reason I continued my way down and got it.

Submit

That map above made it a cake walk. Easy as can be. Nice work. We need one for the Devine Tower in Caelid. Though did that on 1st try. Now Rain of arrows aow. Thats some hard core stuff. Dont even try if this gives you troubles.

Submit

i randomly found this today and decided to call invaders here cause i thought it'd be cool to fight at the bottom near the ocean.
turns out invaders all spawn on top and 90% of them die because they cant get down here.
im surprised noone made a youtube video abotu this spot yet for "afk rune farming" cause imo its even better than in limgrave. not that i recommend it lol.

Submit

I found the normal one after the +1 just because I saw comments written on that area and thought about going down there, and also lost 150K runes because of those stupid bugged instadeath jumps, along with a stupid dagger, what a waste of time!

Submit

Functions identically to the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, just with smaller numbers. I'll go ahead and copy the formula over.

Submit

Nice job on the how to map above, thank you. 1st try, easy in comparison to the Divine tower near by and Rain of arrows AOW

Submit

The +1 version is easier to obtain than this ****, trust me.

Submit

The +1 of this talisman isn't in the Sainted Hero's Grave. That is a Crimson Seed Talisman.

Submit

There isn't one in Sainted Hero's Grave, that is a Crimson Seed Talisman.

Submit

the platforming to get this at bestial sanctuary and rain of arrows from the dead artist in dragonbarrow is taking the p**s and no two ways about it. ever heard anyone who likes the dark souls games, bloodborne or sekiro say anything along the lines of "what this game really needs to make it more fun is pixel perfect platforming, where players can enjoy dying over and over until they get lucky and hit every platform perfectly"? I don't think so somehow.

Submit

How come I have 2 of the base version and I'm still on my first playthrough?

Submit

How is the +2 version later in the game than the Greatshield Talisman? That is so dumb.

Submit

Imagine this talisman had the same weight as the bull goat chest, was the same in PVP as it is in PVE and poise didn't exist. Just imagine it

Submit

This has gotta be one of the dumbest item locations in this game.

Getting that base talisman was not in any way enjoyable. Every now and again I see someone from the gaming press or just comments from fans saying "the soulsborne games are hard, but they are not spitefully hard" I've never really agreed with that sentiment.
From the first Dark Souls on PS3 to Elden Ring there are times in every game when they cross over into being spitefully difficult. The platforming needed here and the Caelid divine tower are good examples, but Elden Ring has more sections and quite a few items as well, that seem designed with the sole purpose of pi*s*ng off the player than any other souls game I've played.

Submit

For the base talisman it's kinda annoying that you can get stuck in 'combat' with bats way above you, thus forcing you to quit to menu and come back if you want to teleport out.

Submit

Anyone know the dmg negation for this in duels and pvp ? Since the dragoncrest greatshield talisman is 5% in pvp.

Submit

Does it stack with Boiled Crab

Am I supposed to die every time I reach the bottom level?

Props to the picture maker but what kind of sadistic SOB would put something valuable down a path like that? I didn't find a 'kill barrier' on PC 1.03.2 but the jumps were beyond stupid. There's some unique dagger down here too, Cinquedea. And LOL a body with Soft Cotton. Lot of good it did him...

Submit

Can you use this in tandem with the dragoncrest greatshield talisman?

Submit

Damn, this is way too well hidden and difficult to find just for a base level, simple talisman.

Submit

Don't waste time trying to get this Base version - there are 3 more of these that has better defense and easier to get.

Submit

hey people the dragoncrest GREATSHIELD talisman (+0) is better than the dragoncrest shield talisman +2. It gives 20% physical damage negation vs only 17% for the shield talisman +2. Its in the endgame place at haligtree (haligtree roots bonfire). Then go up the long elevator that brings you to a church room where you can backstab a cricket. Go out the front door in that room then turn left and there is a ladder (the longest ladder ever). Then when you get to the top of the ladder you can look down and actually see a square hole in the roof below. Get down to that square hole then jump down and you will land on a skinny wooden beam (when jumping down the square hole you might miss the wooden beam your first try, and die.. its on the left a bit but DONT try to jump down the left side of the hole just jump down the center of the hole and you should land on it)

Submit

Make sure to have some Rainbow Stones handy if you're feeling unsure about your next fall! It's sure saved me from a few untrustworthy tumbles.

Submit

Whoever posted the picture to find the +0 version. Props to you. Very informative.

Submit

I managed to get all the way down with the help of the picture. The trick is to make sure you gat as low as possible before jumping. So if you can get to a slightly lower ledge then try getting there first. There are also a few bats down there.

Submit

Lost 25k souls because of this bullshit. Do yourself a favor and just use the higher tier version which is much easier to get.

Submit

Update 1.03.2 today (23rd March '22) states "Fixed a bug that causes the playable character to die when trying to descend from a spot near Bestial Sanctum."

Confirmed it's totally accessible again. Didn't get the dagger back tho.

Submit

Looks like the killbox as been removed with patch 1.05.

Submit

The beastial sanctum secret area is now accessible as per the last patch! Therefore the dragoncrest shield talisman is obtainable once again.

Submit

PSA: The access route to this item is currently broken. DO NOT ATTEMPT RETRIEVAL until a new patch comes out

people are reporting that they are getting the +0 talisman in the mistwood ruins in limgrave, can anyone confirm or deny?

So let me get this straight, From modeled this giant intricate structure that serves no purpose or function other than hiding a talisman with an obscure way down to it. Then they just decided "actually no" and put a death barrier right under the first root down to it with no way to get the talisman anymore? For what purpose? Does the talisman even work in pvp? The Ring if Steel Protection in DS3 definitely didn't lol.

Submit

I can even see an item down there. There is a faint white glow on one of the platforms, but I can't access it.

Submit

I am even trying this with the Long Tail Cat Talisman which prevents fall damage. There is just a kill floor everywhere, the area is inaccessible. Was trying to get every talisman, but now I cant.

Submit

I have started seeing messages on the platform and branches below the death wall again. Any idea how people are by passing the death wall?

Submit

Usaing Cheat engine to get below the death barrier shows that the items are still there as i had not acquired them yet

Submit

Can anyone do some testing to find out if this talisman has less protection in PvP like its DS3 counterpart? I don't have a friend I can test this with myself

Submit

Wow i chose the wrong time to try and get this, at least felt some relief when i saw the comments

Submit

Today, March 18, I did the route to swindle the talisman with total normality, including taking the cinquedea. if you can comrades. make the attempt. i play on xbox they add me: KUSSAK18

Submit

It seems the FROM might have either moved the +0 talisman, changed the route everyone previously took by adding a death barrier on the first limb you're supposed to drop on to or unintentionally added the barrier. Either way. First version, as far as I know, is unobtainable by the previous means at Bestial Sanctum.

Submit

I'm positive they changed the location and ditched this place. Both the +0 version of this shield and the cinquedea have been removed from my inventory.

Submit

Did they patch it out the down jumping for the +0 version? you just get now instant death after falling down the first root.

Submit

Did fromsoft just brick you from getting the +0 version of this item. There is a kill barrier on the tree limbs to get down to it.

Submit

I die instantly when I try to drop down to the second root. It also killed me once just getting close to the edge in order to drop down.
Am I supposed to be aiming for the big root or the smaller one that's to the left of it?

DRAGONCREST GREATSHIELD TALISMAN is essentially the +3 version

Submit

Did some damage testing with all of these talismans, against the spear guy at the Limgrave Gatefront. I think the +2 is bugged? For reference, I was using the Marika's Soreseal with all of these tests as well just to see if it worked with that as well to negate the effect. Here are the results.

Control: 50 damage - no talismans, naked
Control Soreseal: 111 Damage - Marika's Soreseal, naked.
Dragoncrest Talisman: 100 Damage
Dragoncrest Talisman+1: 46 Damage
Dragoncrest Talisman+2: 92 Damage
Dragoncrest Greatsheild Talisman: 42 Damage

Again, you can test these if you want, just think that the DCT+2 is bugged since you take more damage than the +1. I think it should be around 44 damage you take, but doesn't seem to be the case.

Submit

What is the difference between this talisman +3 and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman? Is he better or worse?

Submit

Pve/pvp values respectively:
1 dragon = 10%/2%
2 dragons = 13%/3%
3 dragons = 17%/4%

Submit

The map shows the talisman in the wrong place. It's under the fourth pillar from the right radiating out around the bestial sanctum.

Submit

Is the +2 version better than the Great shield one found on raya lucaria?

Submit

+3 Variant found in a chest in Elphael Haligtree City, after Drainage Channel keep going over the roots to church drop down into a hole in the roof.

Submit

The +2 is in the dragon temple. Go north across the broken up bridge from dragon temple lift and its hidden under one of the peices

Submit

+2 is at Crumbling Farum Azula. You can't just go there.

Submit

+1 is indeed in Sainted Hero's Grave. Just looted it there. There's a second(!) room where you need another key. Ride up the falling blades.

Submit

Anyone else find the +1 or +2 variants? The +1 version isn’t in sainted hero’s grave.

Submit

i dont know where the +1 is but i found the +2, without great spoiler, its absolute end game. It can be found in a area with tons of dragons and have a stormy setting, shortly before the first crucible knight there is a Jump-drop part, and on one of the tiles in this section it must be turn arround and on a small tile below where must be dropped its lies on a corpse.

Submit

For anyone wondering, the +1 version is in the sainted hero's grave, there are 2 imp doors. one has the crimson seed talisman and the other is reached by going onto a balcony after climbing on a falling blade

Submit

+1 version isn't at Sainted hero's grave or at least the imp wall near the Site of Grace.

Submit

To everyone thinking the +1 is not here, it IS here, when you reach the area with the big axes stomping the ground, you need to get on the first one and jump on the ledge on the left wall. Need one stonesword Key.

Submit

+2 version is at the dragon temple, on corpse hanging off a platform in the air.

Submit

Submit

If anyone else is looking for the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman +1 in Sainted Hero's Grave, go to the hallway with the blades that drop down. Stand on the first one after it's been dropped to ride it up and jump to a ledge. The imp fog wall with the talisman is up the stairs from there.

Submit

The wiki is correct. It is in the Sainted Hero's Grave. You need to fall down a sand pit, ride a guillotine trap up, then put a key in a gargoyle statue. It is in the corner there.
