Where to find Prince of Death's Cyst in Elden Ring
Deeproot Depths: Dropped by a Lesser Runebear, in a cave behind a waterfall northeast of the Deeproot Depths Site of Grace. [Map link]
- This fight can be cheesed fairly easily using ranged weapons or spells. From the Across the Roots site of grace, head down the large tree branch going southwest until you reach the next separate large tree branch. Head southeast and then east as the branch curves, then drop down onto another branch going south. You should find a giant opening in the ground that will take you into a cave area that is above where the runebear sleeps. From here, none of the runebear's melee attacks can reach you.
- Several players have experienced a bug in which the talisman does not drop from the runebear. The above method has the highest success rate for obtaining the talisman.

AnonymousI had to kill it a few times before it dropped the item. What seemed to work for me is killing it inside the cave instead of leading it out, and I was also close-range for this kill.

coming back after the trailer and seeing as the deathblight swamp is real, this thing might be a fan favorite in the near future

I'm gonna go and guess that you can't use this in tandem with the pustule, right?

There are two runebear caves. One has lot of corpses and loots right next to the bear, that’s the wrong one.
The correct cave has a large opening when you look up. And there’s one loot on top of you. That bear drops the talisman.

I've killed the runebear behind the waterfall like 8 times and nothing
Even if it's not a guaranteed drop I should have a good chance considering I've got 55 arcane and was using the silver scarab for every kill except for the last

The "cheese hole" that is mentioned in the description is on the same level as the river before it turns in to the waterfall that hides the cave. So go up a branch that lets you jump/ride down to that level. It's a HUGE hole, can't miss it, and it has levels to let you jump down to hit the bear. Poison arrows worked for me, but takes a little while to get the correct angle. And the bear moves around, but it works perfectly. Good luck!

Guys, if the bear isn't dropping the item for you, there's a good chance you're killing the wrong bear. There are two bears in Deeproot Depths, both inside caves. Only one drops this, look at the map link.

it dropped in a place where i could not pick up
closed and open the game there is no item in the cave

if the item doesnt spawn. just turn elden ring off and back on.
that typically replaces items at the original spawn of whomever drops them.

For anyone having issues:
You need to be close to the bear when it dies for the item to spawn. It's also a drop that you will have to pick up (i.e. is not automatically acquired after killing the bear).
I've tested several times and sniping the bear to death from the branch above will not cause it to drop the talisman. Weaken it from a distance and then finish it off up close. Not sure what the exact range is, but all the times it dropped the talisman was when I was right above that little nook it's in.

There are two lesser rune bears in deeproot depths, the one that needs killing to get the prince of death's cyst is in a cave behind a waterfall. It's very easy to miss if you are not hugging the cliff face on your right hand side. There is a broken statue that will agro but his sparks won't reach you. Basilisks infest this area, but they are really stupid and as long as you are crouched they won't agro unless you walk right in front of them, use target lock to tell you exactly where they all are.
Ignore any message outside or near the cave the talisman isn't an item that can be looted. But when you get there place a blue marker on the map, you don't need to fight this bear one on one just climb up the roots using the blue marker as a guide until you are on top of the waterfall. You can then drop down into a hole and drop from ledge to ledge until you get to the upper area of the cave above the bear. You can kill it easily from there and it won't get a single hit on you.
Very easy cheese spot by going up the roots to the left of the cave and dropping down the hole. Throw poison stone clumps at him until death. Was having major trouble killing him on my level 1 run until this.

This working when you play tank. Save my live many times on pvp and pve when they atack me in Group. works so much better like the miracle of dark souls that left you with one hp point.I wouldn't trade it for increasing damage at the expense of being softer. With good armor and reduced head damage people have to remind themselves when they fought the havel in dark souls 1

Killed the giant rune bear behind the waterfall (next to the sunken ruined church looking building) but no talisman dropped
Runebear is behind waterfall below Fia's area, a brown cave is shown on the map near the top middle.
If you have trouble killing him, use sleep pots and crit over and over, or run around between some of the debris and chunks of ruins and it will eventually get stuck because of it's size. There was a spot between 2 ruin walls found nearby outside his cave where I was able to get him stuck repeatably, and the AI just continues showing the running animation.

I think I know why you guys think the bear doesn’t drop the talisman, There are 2 caves in Deeproot Depths.
One is near the Mausoleum and the other one is HIDDEN behind a big waterfall.
You need to kill the one in the waterfall cave not the other one.

You get this at Stormveil on Godwyn's dead body ( Hidden-ish area below the castle. )

I killed the bear behind the waterfall and the talisman did not drop. This was after I beat the game, but before new game plus.

Description seems to be describing Godwyn, wonder what those faces are.

From the Deeproot depths site of grace, head directly north east. You can see a small circular cave on the map, found behind the waterfalls along the wall. Inside is a bear, kill the bear and the talisman drops.

Might be wrong for the location, need confirmation. But I just fought a Runebear who dropped this in Deeproot Depth, just a glance drop really since he dropped 2 other items with it. From The Nameless Eternal City grace go east until you find a waterfall, behind the waterfall there's a sleeping Runebear, kill him. Or you can make your way up the roots till you reach Across the Roots grace, and drop down the roots to nearby land with a hole in it. Enter the hole and you'll find yourself above the sleeping bear. Guess they put it there so you can prepare yourself against the boss.

Killed in outside on my first run no problem got the talisman. New character killed it outside again, no drop. Went back and killed it inside the cave and it dropped.
