It feels like there’s an infinite combination of build options inElden RingandShadow of the Erdtreeonly adds to the formula. There are drastically new weapon types, armor pieces, and of course, Talismans that help the player do even more damage. While some of these are new, there are a handful of talismans that do the exact same thing as its predecessor, but better.
Glass Canons Rejoice
For casters, there will be one talisman they want to make a b-line for immediately, especially if their design is meant for a glass cannon. TheBeloved Stardustis a new talisman that pairs well with theGraven-Mass Talisman. It’s a risk-reward situation, as theBeloved Stardustwill do whatRadagon Icondoes, reducing spell cast times, but better. This will shorten casting speeds for sorceries and incantations by the utmost, but in turn, you will take more damage. So that means if you have already died by a single blow, this will benefit you greatly.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: Global Release Time
Get yourself prepared to fight in the long-awaited Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
If you’re someone who can take more than one hit, it might not be in your best interest to pick this up unless some of your spells could use faster cast times, in which case it’s still advised to at least seek this out.
Count Ymir Questline
to get this, you will need to progress Count Ymir’s side quest. In order to do this, you must traverse until you reach theCathedral of Manus Metyr. This is located southeast of theShadow Keepand can also be accessed throughBonny VillageviaMoorth Ruins.
Simply accept Ymir’s quest as he will give you a key item and aRuins Mapthat points out where you will need to go. For the first task, you will need to head all the way south to theFinger Ruins of Rhiaand blow on the giant finger at the core of this seemingly holy place. Upon doing so, head back toYmir, and he will be pleased with you.
Doing this will grant you access to the nextRuins Map (2nd)should you desire to continue with this plotline, but more importantly, he will hand overBeloved Stardust. It’s just that easy. This isn’t a short trek if you haven’t already explored theCerulean Coastor some of the ruins, but doing so will reward you greatly.
