Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC: Hidden Talisman Benevolent behind a Devolent Secret
With its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Elden Ring—known for its complex world and secrets—takes things to a whole new level. Although the DLC offers a lot of fresh material, it also conceals a particularly hidden secret most players will probably miss: a special talisman.
The Aging Untouchables: a Hidden Task in the Abyssal Woods
New DLC territory, the Abyssal Woods, can only be accessed via a difficult dungeon and a secret entrance. Deep within this territory is a special difficulty: the Aging Untouchables, apparently unbeatable foes. Obtaining a unique talisman depends on these scary enemies, distinguished by their unusual design and seeming invincibility.
Exultation of Anaged One: Unlocking the Madness Boost
The Aging Untouchables drop the talisman particular to the Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC, the Aged One's Exultation. One clear benefit of this talisman is that it provides an attack boost when the "madness" status effect is triggered inside a designated range. This effect is akin to the Exultation talismans of the Lord of Blood's Exultation and Kindred of Rot, which respectively increase attacks depending on bleed and poison/rot.
Overcoming the Invincible: The Key to Stopping the Aging Untouchable Develment
Although the Aging Untouchable seem to be unbeatable, a particular plan is needed to overcome them. Paries let players inflict damage and breach their defenses. On the other hand, attacks with the Destined Death effect—like the Black Knife or Maliketh's Black Blade—may saps their health gradually. Still, this approach proves far slower than parying.
Unravelling the Secret on the Torn Diary Page
Elden Ring offers a hint about the frailty of the Aging Untouchable. Tucked away in Midra's Manse is a Torn Diary Page with a hazy clue on paring as the means of defeating these enemies. The only hint the game offers is this paper, hence the Aged One's Exultation is a really secret treasure.
A Niche Talisman: The Use of Exultation of the Aged One
Though the Aged One's Exultation presents a special attack boost, its use is rather limited. Using player models, madness mostly affects other players or enemies unlike other status effects like bleed, frost, or poison. The talisman does activate when the player character's madness effect is triggered, but given the rare and incapacitating character of the madness status effect, the risk may not be justified.
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring: Triumph of Hidden Secrets
The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC from Elden Ring perfectly captures the game's inclination for secret knowledge. FromSoftware's rich world-building is demonstrated by the Aging Untouchables and their hidden talisman, which also reflect the depth and complexity of Although the talisman itself could be seen as niche, the difficulty and gratification of revealing this secret gives the already large and interesting world of Elden Ring still another dimension.
Examining the Shadowed Realm: Past the Exultation of the Aged One
The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC presents far more than just the Exultation of the Aged One. New biomes, dungeons, and tough bosses will challenge players and lead to a confrontation with Messmer the Impaler. Players can discover the sinister secrets buried under the influence of the Erdtree along this path, come across fresh weapons, magic, and challenges.
