The Elden Ring DLC is a tough piece of video game, but thankfully it isn’t completely malicious. The DLC includes more ways to strengthen your character, such as new Talismans. I suggest you find the Spelldrake Talisman +3 in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree for the best magic defense.
The Spelldrake Talisman +3 is in a cave along a cliffside near the ‘Castle Front’ encampment Site of Grace. If you have the Site unlocked, you can start your quest for the Talisman there. If not, you’ll need to travel to the Castle Front encampment located northeast from where you begin Shadow of the Erdtree. To get there, you must cross the Ellac Greatbridge, which has a few enemies and a guy guarding the encampment with a large ballista that fires tree-sized bolts — which explode. Right, I should have mentioned that this path won’t be easy.
Fight your way past the enemies or run away from them and go deeper into the encampment. Unlock the Castle Front Site of Grace, just in case.
Where to find Spelldrake Talisman +3 in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Once you’ve captured the Site of Grace, travel toward the center of the camp and stop at the crossroad. Take the path leading north into the woods.
Here’s the path you need to take on the map:
Make a sharp right where the path branches off. You’ll know when to turn once the woods end and you clearly see the castle and wooden structure with enemies patrolling below.
Watch out for the bats guarding the path and keep going until you reach the end where you can cross to the other side by hopping over an edge.
You’ll see a structure built into the cliff under the castle with a door at the bottom. That’s where we need to go.
Leap over the chasm and enter the door. Inside is a storeroom with a corpse near the back that’s holding the Spelldrake Talisman +3.
Spelldrake Talisman +3 is likely the best magic defense Talisman in Elden Ring. When equipped, it “Boosts magic damage negation by the utmost.” If you’re struggling with magic-casting bosses (the Dancing Lion, for example), then you should give them another go with the Talisman equipped.
There are plenty more Talismans to find in Shadow of the Erdtree. Check out our other guides if you’re looking to power up against the might of the DLC:
Equipping these should help you beat the DLC. Well, theoretically.
