If you’re struggling against magic and elemental damage, you may want to find the Pearldrake Talisman +3 in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It protects against everything but physical damage, and it’s the best of its Pearldrake siblings to do so.
The Talisman, exclusive to Shadow of the Erdtree, can be found in the Shadow Keep. It’s kept away in the Specimen Storeroom, which isn’t available until after you beat the first boss of the area. Luckily, getting to the Storeroom afterward is rather straightforward. You’ll need to dodge some Fire Knights and Shadow Militiamen to get there, but at least… no, wait. There are Fire Knights and Militiamen in the Storeroom as well. Sorry. The struggle will be worth it.
Pearldrake Talisman +3 location in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
To find the Pearldrake Talisman +3, you’ll have to start at the ‘Storehouse, First Floor’ Site of Grace at the Shadow Keep. Once you arrive, go around the massive centerpiece on the left side.
Watch for Militiamen ambushes as you continue to a staircase you need to climb. Take a sharp left after the staircase and walk down the corridor. Stop when the second shelf to your right ends and then head up the stairs to your right.
Ignore the Fire Knight on the floor and go up the next set of stairs.
You’ll have to fight the Fire Knight you see standing near the edge. Make sure your fight is a flashy one!
From where the Fire Knight was standing, look right and squeeze between the two shelves.
The Pearldrake Talisman +3 is held by the giant, hornsent statue/corpse.
What does the Talisman do?
The Pearldrake Talisman +3 lowers all non-physical damage while being worn. As per the description:
“Talisman with a large depiction of a pearlescent ancient dragon. Boosts non-physical damage negation by the utmost.”
Non-physical damage consists of magic, holy, lightning, fire, and any other damage not caused by something metal, stone, or wood.
You found the Talisman, but you’re not done yet. The Shadow Keep holds many secrets, such as powerful items and tools. Be sure to check out our guides on how to find the Dueling Shield, the Prayer Room, and the Carian Thrusting Shield.
