Elden Ring: Where To Find Dried Bouquet Talisman? - Effects & Locations

In Realm of Shadow in Elden Ring DLC, you will meet Freyja who carries a Greatsword with her. After you complete the quest she gives you, you can get her Greatsword called Freyja’s Greatsword, and you can also create an optimal build for it. The skill of Freyja’s Greatsword is Spinning Slash, but if you want better Redmane Skills, you can change it. In this guide, we will show you how to get this powerful Greatsword and what kind of build you should build around it. This way, its maximum effectiveness can be brought into play. How To Get Freyja’s Greatsword? As I just said, Freyja’s Greatsword is related to Redmane Freyja, and there are currently two ways to get it. The first is to let Redmane Freyja get Freyja’s letter. In return, she will give you Golden Lion Shield. From this location, head to Enir-Ilim, where you will fight Leda and her allies with Freyja. After the battle, you can loot this powerful weapon from Leda’s corpse. Second, if you don’t want to spend time completing her questline, you can continue to complete other quests or battles in the DLC, as you will still fight Leda and her allies in the later games. After the battle, you cannot loot anything from her corpse except Elden Ring Runes. You need to return to the seventh floor warehouse in Shadow Keep, where Freyja and Freyja’s Greatsword are waiting for you. Best Talismans Unlike Talismans required for other weapons, in this build, you need to focus only on the offensive power of Freyja’s Greatsword itself. Among the many Talismans, Shard of Alexander is to increase the damage of Ash of War Savage Lion’s Claw of this weapon by 15%. Claw Talisman is also very useful when you use Greatsword to jump attack, because it increases your mobility. In addition, Two-Handed Sword Talisman is also very necessary, because it increases your attack power by 15% when you use Freyja’s Greatsword with both hands. For these Talismans, you can choose one or two to equip. If you have to choose one or two, my suggestion is to choose Claw Talisman and Two-Handed Sword Talisman. These Talismans are located far away from each other. For example, Shard of Alexander is obtained after you complete Iron Fist in Alexander’s questline, Two-Handed Sword Talisman is found in a treasure chest in Temple Town Ruins, Claw Talisman is found on top of a watchtower in Stormveil Castle, and Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is in a treasure chest near Rivermouth Cave. So you can spend some time and Elden Ring Runes to find these Talismans before building Freyja’s Greatsword build, because they will be useful not only in this build but also in other builds. Best Armor Although you can get a Freyja’s Armor from Freyja, it has no passive effect to increase the effect of Redmane Skills or the damage of the weapon itself, so it is useless. The best choice is Rakshasa Set, because each piece of armor in it increases your damage by 2%. But it should be noted here that it also increases the damage you take by the same percentage. Increasing the damage to the enemy is more valuable than the negative effects you take, because those negative effects can be reduced by Talismans and Crystal Tears. Best Attribute Data Allocation For attribute data allocation, Vigor and Strength are both essential. And since Freyja’s Greatsword only scales in Strength, you only need to invest a little in this attribute. Intelligence and Arcane can be ignored because these two attributes are not suitable for this build. Faith cannot be too much, because you only need a moderate amount of Faith to use Golden Vow. For Mind and Endurance, you can maintain a balance between the two, and whether you prefer one to the other depends on how often you use Ash of War Savage Lion’s Claw. If you have already chosen the data for each attribute, you can’t Respec in Realm of Shadow, so you must reflect. But there is a way to modify it. You need to go to Raya Lucaria Academy and defeat Queen of Full Moon Rennala in exchange for Larval Tear. You can use this Larval Tear to help you Respec, but still be aware that this Elden Ring Item is limited. The following is the distribution information of each attribute, for reference only. Vigor: 60 Mind: 40 Endurance: 30 Strength: 85 Dexterity: 20 Intelligence: 9 Faith: 25 Arcane: 10 Best Wondrous Flask Of Physick There are a lot of Crystal Tears options in Wondrous Flask DLC that are perfect for Freyja’s Greatsword builds. For example, Greenburst Crystal Tear can help you increase the speed of Endurance recovery - 15 points per second for 3 minutes, which is very important for this build because using Ash of War and charged heavy attacks in combat will consume a lot of Endurance. Similarly, Crystal Tear and Two-Headed Turtle Talisma can also achieve this effect. If you want to reduce the damage, you take a little or even cancel it, you can choose Opaline Hardtear, because it can cancel 15% of all damage types for 3 minutes after you use it. Or if you want your Poise to be a little stronger, you can also equip Leaden Hardtear. Best Incantations Because Freyja’s Greatsword only increases the damage of Redmane Skills, and does not increase the damage of any Sorceries or Incantations, you can equip some Incantations when you are facing some spell damage that you cannot resist. In addition, the armor provided by Freyja does not have any passive effects. The best Incantations are Supportive Incantations, because they can protect you in some regular battles. Or you can choose to stack Golden Vow and Flame, Grant me Strength, which will increase your damage and gain some damage offset in a short time. The above are some of the options you should choose for the build of Freyja’s Greatsword. If you encounter better build items in the game, you can come to iGMeet Discord to communicate with other players and learn from other players.

Achieving immortality in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is more possible than you might expect. And Great Stars are one of the ideal tools to achieve this goal. This unique weapon restores your health with each use. Not only does it deal massive damage if used properly, it can also help keep your Tarnished away from death. The best thing about this weapon is that it motivates players to attack aggressively when appropriate, or to choose an Ash of War that can attack in rapid succession. Here is a detailed guide on how to build this pointy hammer. Pros And Cons Of Great Stars Great Star is a unique Great Hammer that restores 1% of your max HP with each attack. While the basic Great Hammer move can be a bit boring because of its slow swing and limited vertical tap range, its heavy attacks hit in a large arc, and any Ash of War attached to this weapon can also trigger its healing effect. The limited range of the vertical light swings can be a little annoying, but once you get used to where they land, these attacks are still fast enough to hit most opponents. Great Stars heal you for 1% of your max HP with each hit. Any Ash of War equipped with this weapon also triggers its healing effect. While the vertical light swings are limited, once you get used to where these attacks land, you’ll find that they come out fast enough to hit most enemies. This weapon has two major features: First, players can find two of the same weapon in the same game, making it ideal for dual-wielding (powerstancing) strategies, as players can get double the healing and status effect build-up. Second, it is the only Great Hammer that inflicts Bleed on enemies. In combat, combined with Raptor’s Black Feathers and Claw Talisman, players can quickly defeat powerful enemies. In addition, because of its inherent bleeding effect, it can be used with any elemental effect without losing its bleeding properties. Given the many advantages of Great Stars, this weapon has become an ideal choice for players who pursue efficient combat and resource management. On this basis, using Elden Ring Runes to further optimize your character build can significantly improve your gaming experience and combat efficiency. In addition, there is a gift channel for this game in iGMeet discord, which will release product gift information from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group. Best Shields With Great Stars While powerstancing can effectively enhance healing and status effects, using a shield in the off-hand to block attacks is also an effective strategy for use with Great Stars. The core of this strategy is to choose a large shield or a shield with chief defense and excellent attributes to resist enemy attacks. No matter how many times you suffer damage during blocking, you can restore your health by counterattacking. Great Shields are preferred for this strategy, as you can avoid taking too much damage with your shield, and the little health you lose can be easily restored with Great Stars. Medium Shields are also a good choice if you’re willing to take a more aggressive approach when healing is needed. For specific shields to consider, Fingerprint Stone Shield and the more easily available DLC-cousin, Verdigris Greatshield are both great choices, as they have high guard boost and 100% physical resistance. Among Medium Shields, Brass Shield and Wolf Crest Shield are very close to Great Shields, both of which provide high Guard Boost and 100% physical resistance, meaning you can defend yourself against almost unlimited physical attacks. Alternatively, Carian Knight’s Shield with a Greatshield Talisman also performs well when used, and is particularly good at blocking Holy and Magic attacks, although its modest defense boost can sometimes limit the shield’s performance. Best Ashes Of War And Infusions With Great Stars Ashes Of War Ash of War: Prelate’s Charge Ash of War: Wild Strikes Ash of War: Chilling Mist Ash of War: Cragblade Infusions Cold Heavy Blood Since Great Stars have the innate bleed and passive healing, you should use three different infusions in your build, including Bleed, Cold, or Heavy for raw damage. For Ashes of War, you want anything that can hit multiple times to get as much healing as possible. Since you already benefit from fast, repeated attacks, applying status effects like Cold or Bleed will also fit perfectly into your build. Cold builds will use Cold infusion, and use Cragblade or Chilling Mist for Ashes of War. With Chilling Mist, you can heal yourself with each attack; while Cragblade provides a steady medium damage output. Additionally, Frostbite triggers to deal 10% damage based on the target’s maximum health (7% for boss enemies), and also increases the target’s damage taken by 20%. When used in conjunction with Great Stars, these abilities combine to significantly increase the weapon’s overall damage output. Bleed builds will feature either Blood or Heavy infusion, with either Wild Strikes or Cragblade as Ashes of War. Blood is the better choice if you don’t invest more points in Strength than is necessary to equip the weapon. However, if you’re looking to give your swings more power and rely solely on Hemorrage triggers for the extra damage and all the benefits it brings, Heavy infusion is a better choice. Regardless of which infusion you choose, White Mask, Blood God’s Exultation, and Bloodflame Flame Blade are key damage-boosting items that can take your damage output from mediocre to devastating enough to destroy average foot soldiers and demigods alike. Best Stats With Great Stars Ideally, you should focus on Strength to maximize your damage output, or, if you want to maximize bloodloss damage, then you should focus on Arcane. To ensure that each swing deals maximum damage, reaching 80 Strength is ideal. With Bleed builds, you’ll want around 45 to 50 points of Arcane to reach the softcap. Beyond that, you can allocate additional points to Strength, Vigor, and Endurance. So embark on your journey with Great Stars and let its power guide you through the challenges of Shadow of the Erdtree in Elden Ring.

In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC, Tarnished can finally use martial arts to fight enemies, as two new Hand-to-Hand style weapons have been added - Dryleaf Arts and Dane’s Footwork. This is excellent news for players who like to use Monk, because with the blessing of these two weapons, Monk Class will be more lethal. But before getting these two powerful weapons, you need to go through some challenges and tasks first. These tasks and challenges are not too difficult, and you can explore them on your own, but if you follow this guide, I believe you will get Dryleaf Arts and Dane’s Footwork more easily. Additionally, this guide will show you the best builds for Dryleaf Arts and Dane’s Footwork. How To Get Dryleaf Arts? When you enter the DLC, you will find yourself in Scadu Altus region, which is very convenient. What you need to do now is to find and go to Highroad Cross Site of Grace in Scadu Altus region, where you will find a sign that says May the Best Win, and a note called Monk’s Missive. These two messages will lead you east to Moorth Ruins, and after arriving at Moorth Ruins Site of Grace, you will find a boss you need to fight - Dryleaf Dane. You can use May the Best Win sign you just picked up when fighting it, and it will use martial arts and Holy magic on you. At this time, be careful of its Palm Blast skill, because it will kill you immediately if you are not careful. After you defeat it with high calmness and flexible mobility, you will get Dryleaf Arts and Dane’s Hat dropped from its body.

Unlike Dryleaf Arts, Dane’s Footwork is available only after you’ve completed most of Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, as it can only be found in the penultimate boss fight of the entire DLC. In this fight, you’ll face Miquella’s Followers, mainly Needle Knight Leda and Dryleaf Dane, who you’ve already fought before. Other bosses will appear after you’ve completed a quest or reached a certain level of progress. Besides picking up Dane’s Footwork in this fight against both bosses, you can also take their gear and numerous Elden Ring Runes directly after they’ve been defeated. The skills and damage types used by Dryleaf Dane in this fight are similar to the previous one, except that the previous Dryleaf Arts are replaced by Dane’s Footwork, which is not important. What needs to be noted here is Needle Knight Leda’s Needle Piercer skill, which is likely to cause unexpected damage to you when you’re not prepared. If you feel you’re having a hard time in this fight, you can use Pureblood Knight Ansbach’s summons to help you so you don’t get overwhelmed by the sheer number of NPCs you have to fight. Dryleaf Arts Build The biggest advantage of these Hand-to-Hand weapons is that you can put them in your off-hand, since you can switch them to two-handed moves in certain situations anyway, so they can be put in any build. For Dryleaf Arts, which build you want to put it in depends entirely on the build you are running. For example, if you are currently running a build centered on Flame, injecting Flame Arts into it will increase Fire damage and Faith scaling. Similarly, injecting it into a build centered on Magic will increase Magic damage and Intelligence scaling. In addition to this, you can also increase the base damage of Dryleaf Arts, since most of the damage of this weapon comes from Palm Blast. Here, you can use Shard of Alexander to increase the damage of Palm Blast by 15%, or use Godfrey Icon to increase the damage of Palm Blast by 15% when charging. When using this skill, Tarnished will gain an outstanding balance, allowing it to withstand attacks while charging. For Talismans, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman helps you take less physical damage while charging, while Two-Headed Turtle Talisman helps you regenerate faster, allowing you to unleash more Palm Blasts in combat. Dane’s Footwork Build While both Hand-to-Hand weapons are excellent in terms of stat stacking, Dane’s Footwork is a bit better given its Ash of War Dryleaf Whirlwind. It strikes four times in quick succession while also increasing kick damage. This weapon is a great addition to any combo build, especially those using Arcane. As mentioned above, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman increases your own physical damage cancellation, and equipped with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, it increases all your attacks by 13% when you get max stacks. Alternatively, you can use the new Elden Ring Item in the DLC, the Shattered Stone Talisman, which increases the effectiveness of all kick attacks by an additional 10%. Combined with your newfound martial arts skills, enjoy punching and kicking in Shadow of the Erdtree. That’s all you need to know when using these two powerful Hand-to-Hand weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree. I hope you have fun playing this DLC. If you have better ideas for the build of these two weapons, you are welcome to express your opinions in iGMeet Discord. You may also get some runes as rewards.

Curved Swords have always been a staple in Elden Ring, and since the early days of the game, there have been countless players who have liked this weapon. Curved Swords are often linked to Dexterity and are often proportional, making them ideal for use when you are using Bleed builds and swift attacks. Shadow of the Erdtree DLC successfully continues this tradition, and also adds some new weapons to Tarnished’s arsenal, allowing players to better choose different weapons according to different combat situations. This guide will introduce you to some very useful Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree, and you can choose Curved Swords you want in battle at your discretion. Dancing Blade Of Ranah Dancing Blade of Ranah is one of the best Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree, as it scales with your Dexterity. If you want to rely on this attribute to play in the DLC, then Dancing Blade Of Ranah will be a good choice. You can get this powerful weapon by killing Dancer of Ranah in Southern Nameless Mausoleum. But it should be noted that Dancing Blade Of Ranah cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War, and can only be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones. When you use Dancing Blade Of Ranah, you can actually feel it from the name. Its skill - Unending Dance allows you to initiate a dance-like action and swing the blade while bouncing. When you are surrounded by enemies, you can use it to protect yourself from being approached by enemies. Spirit Sword Spirit Sword is also a new Curved Sword in Shadow of the Erdtree. It looks more powerful than the regular Curved Sword, and in addition to Dexterity, it is also related to Intelligence and even Strength. It has multiple uses and is very cost-effective! In addition, this sword is said to be a medium for communicating with spirits, so in addition to Physical Damage, it can also cause considerable Magic Damage. When you switch from an enemy that cannot resist physical damage to an enemy that is vulnerable to magic damage, you don’t need to change weapons, just use Spirit Sword. Spirit Sword can be found in Cerulean Coast, specifically between Cerulean Coast West and Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. If you see several half-people areas during your exploration, then you are not wrong, which means you are not far from the location of the Spirit Sword. Like the other Curved Swords in this guide, the Spirit Sword cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War, and can only be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones. Falx Falx is also mainly adjusted by Strength and Dexterity. It is a pair of Curved Swords that can be used in both hands at the same time. When Hornsent invades Rauh Ancient Ruins Site of Grace, you need to defeat it and you will pick up Falx from its corpse. If you like dual-wielding the scimitars of Warrior profession in the DLC and want to try different weapons, then Falx can perfectly match your requirements. Although Falx does not cause Elemental Damage to the enemy, its Physical Damage of up to 107 can make the enemy unable to parry. Its special skill, Revenger’s Blade, allows you to sprint forward a long distance and slash the enemy in the shape of an X. In addition, Falx paired Curved Swords has a passive effect that allows the enemy to accumulate bleeding unconsciously, which is very timesaving and labor-saving. Similarly, it cannot be enhanced. Horned Warrior’s Sword Horned Warrior’s Sword also adjusts its damage primarily through Strength and Dexterity, followed by Faith, and is one of the most complete Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree. This weapon is usually found in the hands of Horned Warriors in the Lands of Shadow. You can choose to kill Horned Warrior in Belurat Tower Settlement swamp to obtain this weapon, or directly obtain it from any Horned Warrior who can wield this weapon. It doesn’t hurt. Like other Curved Swords, it cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War. However, since this is a paired weapon and is also the most powerful part of the build, you only need to find one to get a pair of Horned Warrior’s Swords. Its skill is also very special. When you use Horn Calling, you will drive the sword into the ground and summon a very powerful and piercing horn in front of the enemy, which is very suitable for temporarily incapacitating enemies when they get too close. Horned Warrior’s Greatsword Speaking of some very powerful Curved Greatswords, we have to mention Horned Warrior’s Greatsword, which is much larger and heavier than the regular non-Greatsword version. This means that you need more Strength to pick it up, especially when using it one-handed. Compared to similar weapons, Horned Warrior’s Greatsword does not require farming, and only requires you to defeat Wind-Aspected Horned Warrior at the end of Enir Ilim. Although you can take it to the exchange to exchange for 200 Elden Ring Runes, it is better to keep it. Because not only does it have powerful special skills, especially when used with special amulets such as Millicent’s Prosthesis, it can unleash a lot of damage and even destroy the most powerful enemies, but it also scales equally with Strength, Dexterity, and Faith, making you a very balanced state. Freyja’s Greatsword The last one comes up, but it is definitely not the least important. Freyja’s Greatsword is mainly related to Strength, and secondarily to Dexterity. You will encounter Redmane Freya carrying it many times when exploring Lands of Shadow, but to obtain it, you need to defeat Freyja directly in Enir Ilim. Freyja’s Greatsword weighs 14 and requires your Strength attribute to reach 25, but its Physical Damage is as high as 146, which is very suitable for players who like Strength builds. They usually want to have a heavy weapon with good attributes and a weapon with 360-degree coverage. Freyja’s Greatsword will meet all their requirements. Have you chosen your favorite Curved Swords? If you have already chosen, then enter Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and start your exploration!
