Where to find Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman in Elden Ring

Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree: Found in a chest on an elevated platform inside the large building in the northeast, guarded by several Pests.

Map link Video Location

This platform can be reached by heading through the eastern exit from the Drainage Channel Site of Grace Map link, and then navigating across the branches and concrete beams to reach the roof of the building. (See roof below)

While there are many branches and beams to traverse, the path is fairly linear. Once on the roof, you'll see two holes in the roof's surface and peering through the hole, you'll see joists where you can land on.

Land on the joists (you can go through either hole), and immediately shield, as you'll be attacked by pests. Make your way over the western end of the room (where the pests are attacking from) where the chest is located.

Elden Ring Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman Notes & Tips

• Sell Value: 2000
• Incompatible with Dragoncrest Shield Talisman.
• Note that this does not directly increase the physical damage negation value by 20. Rather it reduces your physical damage taken by 20% compared to what it would be without the talisman. For example, if a player's damage negation without the dragoncrest greatshield talisman is 20, then they will take 80% of incoming damage, e.g. a 100 damage hit (ignoring other aspects of the damage calculation) only removes 80 hp. Putting on the talisman will reduce this damage by 20% down to 64 hp, corresponding to an overall physical damage reduction value of 36 (reduce 36% of the 100 damage attack, taking 64 damage). So the player would see their physical damage negation value increase from 20 -> 36, not 40. This ensures a 20% reduction in incoming damage regardless of what the player's physical damage negation was previously.
  • The following formula can be used to calculate what the physical damage negation will be after equipping the talisman:
    • PNWT = 100 - [(100 - PNWOT) * 0.8]
    • PNWT: Physical Negation With Talisman, PWNOT: Physical Negation WithOut Talisman
