Dragoncrest Shield Talisman is a Talisman in Elden Ring. Dragoncrest Shield Talisman reduces Physical Damage taken by 10/13/17%. Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman is the direct upgrade to this talisman. Players can use talismans in Elden Ring to boost a variety of Stats.
Wrought iron talisman depicting a trio of ancient dragons.

The ancient dragons, who ruled in the prehistoric era before the Erdtree, would protect their lord as a wall of living rock.
And so it is that the shape of the dragon has become symbolic of all manner of protections.
Dragoncrest Shield Talisman in Elden Ring
Dragoncrest Shield Talisman reduces Physical Damage taken by 10/13/17%. (Effect reduced to 2/3/4%, respectively, in PvP.)
Where to find Dragoncrest Shield Talisman in Elden Ring
- Base talisman: Bestial Sanctum: Found on the bottom level of the structure below the surrounding cliffs. [Map link]
- +1 Variant: Sainted Hero's Grave: Can be found in a locked imp's room, behind a Stonesword Key fog wall (not the first one you encounter; the Crimson Seed Talisman is located behind that one). When you reach the area with the big axes stomping the ground, you need to get on the first one and jump on the ledge on the left wall. There are multiple Putrid Corpses along this path and in the room with the fog doors, alongside a pair of Wraith Callers. Once you've dealt with them and opened the fog door, there are a final pair of Putrids watching over the talisman. [Map link]
- +2 Variant: Crumbling Farum Azula: Looted from a corpse on floating chunk of debris in the northern section, between Dragon Temple Lift and Dragon Temple Rooftop. [Map link] Video Location
Elden Ring Dragoncrest Shield Talisman Notes & Tips
- Base variant sell value:

- +1 Variant sell value:

- +2 Variant sell value:
1,000
- Tips for finding the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman (base variant):
- It's located below the Bestial Sanctum; the path to reach it includes numerous one-way drops. Because of this, attempting the drops/jumps while holding a large number of runes is not recommended.
- Look down over the edge of the cliffs to the west of the Bestial Sanctum building to find tree roots that lead you down below the Sanctum.
- Before descending from the cliffs, you can benefit greatly from a moderate supply of Soft Cotton, as without them several of the falls required will leave you vulnerable to the flying enemies in the area.

The +2 variant is literally too far into the game. It is actually easier and better to get the Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman. Yet another sad example of an instantly obsolete item.

Why are these nerfed in pvp seriously if you could have more defense in pvp it would definitely help mediate the complaining from people saying stuff hits too hard just saying.

I see no reason to get the base version or the dagger behind bestial sanctum. For the divine tower of Caelid and the frenzied flame proscription just watch a YT video jump by jump and drop by drop. Use the spirit spring for 'rain of arrows'.

Thanks for this map, was extremely helpful and I did it on my first try. Also no way I would’ve ever found this stuff by myself, hell no.

The real power of this talisman is allowing your fashion souls to come before protection.
Pain in the ass to get, but 100% worth it

I almost missed the +0 thinking "there's no way I'm actually supposed to be here, is there?". The fact that they spawned bats there was probably the only reason I continued my way down and got it.

That map above made it a cake walk. Easy as can be. Nice work. We need one for the Devine Tower in Caelid. Though did that on 1st try. Now Rain of arrows aow. Thats some hard core stuff. Dont even try if this gives you troubles.

i randomly found this today and decided to call invaders here cause i thought it'd be cool to fight at the bottom near the ocean.
turns out invaders all spawn on top and 90% of them die because they cant get down here.
im surprised noone made a youtube video abotu this spot yet for "afk rune farming" cause imo its even better than in limgrave. not that i recommend it lol.

I found the normal one after the +1 just because I saw comments written on that area and thought about going down there, and also lost 150K runes because of those stupid bugged instadeath jumps, along with a stupid dagger, what a waste of time!
Functions identically to the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, just with smaller numbers. I'll go ahead and copy the formula over.

Nice job on the how to map above, thank you. 1st try, easy in comparison to the Divine tower near by and Rain of arrows AOW

the platforming to get this at bestial sanctuary and rain of arrows from the dead artist in dragonbarrow is taking the p**s and no two ways about it. ever heard anyone who likes the dark souls games, bloodborne or sekiro say anything along the lines of "what this game really needs to make it more fun is pixel perfect platforming, where players can enjoy dying over and over until they get lucky and hit every platform perfectly"? I don't think so somehow.

How come I have 2 of the base version and I'm still on my first playthrough?

How is the +2 version later in the game than the Greatshield Talisman? That is so dumb.

Imagine this talisman had the same weight as the bull goat chest, was the same in PVP as it is in PVE and poise didn't exist. Just imagine it

Getting that base talisman was not in any way enjoyable. Every now and again I see someone from the gaming press or just comments from fans saying "the soulsborne games are hard, but they are not spitefully hard" I've never really agreed with that sentiment.
From the first Dark Souls on PS3 to Elden Ring there are times in every game when they cross over into being spitefully difficult. The platforming needed here and the Caelid divine tower are good examples, but Elden Ring has more sections and quite a few items as well, that seem designed with the sole purpose of pi*s*ng off the player than any other souls game I've played.

For the base talisman it's kinda annoying that you can get stuck in 'combat' with bats way above you, thus forcing you to quit to menu and come back if you want to teleport out.

Anyone know the dmg negation for this in duels and pvp ? Since the dragoncrest greatshield talisman is 5% in pvp.

Props to the picture maker but what kind of sadistic SOB would put something valuable down a path like that? I didn't find a 'kill barrier' on PC 1.03.2 but the jumps were beyond stupid. There's some unique dagger down here too, Cinquedea. And LOL a body with Soft Cotton. Lot of good it did him...

Can you use this in tandem with the dragoncrest greatshield talisman?

Damn, this is way too well hidden and difficult to find just for a base level, simple talisman.

Don't waste time trying to get this Base version - there are 3 more of these that has better defense and easier to get.

hey people the dragoncrest GREATSHIELD talisman (+0) is better than the dragoncrest shield talisman +2. It gives 20% physical damage negation vs only 17% for the shield talisman +2. Its in the endgame place at haligtree (haligtree roots bonfire). Then go up the long elevator that brings you to a church room where you can backstab a cricket. Go out the front door in that room then turn left and there is a ladder (the longest ladder ever). Then when you get to the top of the ladder you can look down and actually see a square hole in the roof below. Get down to that square hole then jump down and you will land on a skinny wooden beam (when jumping down the square hole you might miss the wooden beam your first try, and die.. its on the left a bit but DONT try to jump down the left side of the hole just jump down the center of the hole and you should land on it)

Make sure to have some Rainbow Stones handy if you're feeling unsure about your next fall! It's sure saved me from a few untrustworthy tumbles.

Whoever posted the picture to find the +0 version. Props to you. Very informative.

I managed to get all the way down with the help of the picture. The trick is to make sure you gat as low as possible before jumping. So if you can get to a slightly lower ledge then try getting there first. There are also a few bats down there.

Lost 25k souls because of this bullshit. Do yourself a favor and just use the higher tier version which is much easier to get.

Update 1.03.2 today (23rd March '22) states "Fixed a bug that causes the playable character to die when trying to descend from a spot near Bestial Sanctum."
Confirmed it's totally accessible again. Didn't get the dagger back tho.

So let me get this straight, From modeled this giant intricate structure that serves no purpose or function other than hiding a talisman with an obscure way down to it. Then they just decided "actually no" and put a death barrier right under the first root down to it with no way to get the talisman anymore? For what purpose? Does the talisman even work in pvp? The Ring if Steel Protection in DS3 definitely didn't lol.

I can even see an item down there. There is a faint white glow on one of the platforms, but I can't access it.

I am even trying this with the Long Tail Cat Talisman which prevents fall damage. There is just a kill floor everywhere, the area is inaccessible. Was trying to get every talisman, but now I cant.

I have started seeing messages on the platform and branches below the death wall again. Any idea how people are by passing the death wall?

Today, March 18, I did the route to swindle the talisman with total normality, including taking the cinquedea. if you can comrades. make the attempt. i play on xbox they add me: KUSSAK18

It seems the FROM might have either moved the +0 talisman, changed the route everyone previously took by adding a death barrier on the first limb you're supposed to drop on to or unintentionally added the barrier. Either way. First version, as far as I know, is unobtainable by the previous means at Bestial Sanctum.
- Anonymous
I'm positive they changed the location and ditched this place. Both the +0 version of this shield and the cinquedea have been removed from my inventory.
- Anonymous
Did they patch it out the down jumping for the +0 version? you just get now instant death after falling down the first root.

Did fromsoft just brick you from getting the +0 version of this item. There is a kill barrier on the tree limbs to get down to it.

I die instantly when I try to drop down to the second root. It also killed me once just getting close to the edge in order to drop down.
Am I supposed to be aiming for the big root or the smaller one that's to the left of it?

DRAGONCREST GREATSHIELD TALISMAN is essentially the +3 version

Did some damage testing with all of these talismans, against the spear guy at the Limgrave Gatefront. I think the +2 is bugged? For reference, I was using the Marika's Soreseal with all of these tests as well just to see if it worked with that as well to negate the effect. Here are the results.
Control: 50 damage - no talismans, naked
Control Soreseal: 111 Damage - Marika's Soreseal, naked.
Dragoncrest Talisman: 100 Damage
Dragoncrest Talisman+1: 46 Damage
Dragoncrest Talisman+2: 92 Damage
Dragoncrest Greatsheild Talisman: 42 Damage
Again, you can test these if you want, just think that the DCT+2 is bugged since you take more damage than the +1. I think it should be around 44 damage you take, but doesn't seem to be the case.

i dont know where the +1 is but i found the +2, without great spoiler, its absolute end game. It can be found in a area with tons of dragons and have a stormy setting, shortly before the first crucible knight there is a Jump-drop part, and on one of the tiles in this section it must be turn arround and on a small tile below where must be dropped its lies on a corpse.

For anyone wondering, the +1 version is in the sainted hero's grave, there are 2 imp doors. one has the crimson seed talisman and the other is reached by going onto a balcony after climbing on a falling blade

+1 version isn't at Sainted hero's grave or at least the imp wall near the Site of Grace.

To everyone thinking the +1 is not here, it IS here, when you reach the area with the big axes stomping the ground, you need to get on the first one and jump on the ledge on the left wall. Need one stonesword Key.

+2 version is at the dragon temple, on corpse hanging off a platform in the air.

If anyone else is looking for the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman +1 in Sainted Hero's Grave, go to the hallway with the blades that drop down. Stand on the first one after it's been dropped to ride it up and jump to a ledge. The imp fog wall with the talisman is up the stairs from there.

The wiki is correct. It is in the Sainted Hero's Grave. You need to fall down a sand pit, ride a guillotine trap up, then put a key in a gargoyle statue. It is in the corner there.

[ELDEN RING] How to find the unique dagger, Cinquedea + Dragoncrest Shield Talisman
With all of these defensive talismans I just keep asking myself why the amount is so heavily reduced for PvP. What would be much better is to decrease the added amount depending on the existing defenses.
Bassically like defense works normally but even more into that direction. If you have 25% physical negation and you put that on you should get the entire 17% added like you do normally in the game. But with higher base defense like 45% the amount should be reduced to something like it is now during PvP (let's say 7 or 8%). They're not super viable in PvE if you plan on dodging and already have your slots full so making them even less useful in PvP just eliminates them from the roster entirely.
