TheTalisman of the Dreadis shaped after the dread dragon Bayle, who was considered a harbinger of destruction inElden Ring Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC. The foolish dragon challenged the ancient Dragonlord and ended up destroying both sides.
To getthis Talisman inElden RingSOTE, players need to take a small hidden detour before entering Castle Ensis. You will encounter many enemies along the way, some are dangerous, but with enough speed and Torrent, you’re able to ignore them all.

The Talisman of the Dread can be found on a corpse inside the Elder’s Hovel. To reach this destroyed old shack, you need to start from the Castle Front Site of Lost Grace, which is near the entrance of Castle Ensiswhere you fight Rellana, Twin Moon Knight.
Next, summon Torrent and keep heading southeast until you see a slope leading down. Use it to get near a swamp of poison. Head north through a swamp, then continue east through a smaller swamp filled with Miranda Sprouts.

Keep going eastpast the Sealed Spiritspringuntil you reach the Elder’s Hovel and collect the Talisman of the Dread.
