If you've been going through the endgame and new game plus builds in Elden Ring, there's one Talisman you've likely seen pop up over and over again: the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman | Elden Ring for Dummies
If you equip a high-level character, chances are you’ll need to get your hands on it. Here’s how to find the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman in Elden Ring.
The Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman is located in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, which means you'll first need to unlock that area by completing the Haligtree Secret Medallion sidequests and solving the Ordina Liturgical Town puzzle. Luckily, obtaining this Talisman doesn't require any difficult boss fights or complicated platforming segments in hidden areas.
If you have access to the area, you can access the Talisman from the Drainage Channel Site of Grace. Take the exit downstream to the east, then immediately turn left to walk along the tree ledge. Follow the path, then jump right onto the air buttress that is perpendicular to the ledge you are standing on. Walk across it, then jump left again onto the next tree branch. Follow it until you jump onto the next buttress.
