How to get the Flamedrake Talisman +3 in Elden Ring

Gamers have been told to not stand in the fire for decades now, yet we still have moments where we can’t help but get burned. The Flamedrake Talisman +3 added in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree greatly reduces the fire damage we take. Whether you want to complete your talisman collection or you need some extra survivability against Messmer the Impaler, here’s how to get the Flamedrake Talisman +3.

Where to find the Flamedrake Talisman +3 in Elden Ring

The Flamedrake Talisman +3 is found in the Fort of Reprimand which is southeast of Castle Ensis and south of the Shadow Keep. This location can be reached fairly early in Shadow of the Erdtree if you want to make a beeline to the area.

1. Starting from the Moorth Highway, South site of grace (the front of the fort) enter the gate and head down the stairs in the the southern corner of the courtyard. 
2. Follow the hallway and turn left, continuing until you see two soldiers standing in front of a dead body against some cages. 
3. Dispatch the soldiers, climb on top of the cages, and follow the path. You’ll see the chest containing the Flamedrake Talisman +3 at the end of the path. 

If you’re more of a visual learner, refer to the images above which show the route to take to the Flamedrake Talisman +3 chest. 

What does the Flamedrake Talisman +3 do?

The +3 version of the Flamedrake Talisman reduces fire damage taken by 20%. The mobs and bosses are extremely powerful in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Reducing their damage by a percentage is much more impactful than in the base game. 

Without spoiling the fight, I used the Flamedrake Talisman +3 to beat Messmer the Impaler and had a much easier time thanks to the reduced fire damage. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this DLC, it’s that defensive talismans are more valuable than ever. But of course, “just don’t get hit” still applies.
