this is a full walkthrough on how to obtain the golden scarab talisman in eldon ring this talisman can be equipped to boost your rune gain by 20 permanently so long as you have it equipped so the earlier you get it the more benefit you'll get it's going to make farming runes so much faster but it will require you to defeat a boss in order to obtain it however the boss is very weak to lightning and fire so it can be cheesed as i'll explain later in the video but now let me show you how to get to the boss's location really easily and if you don't have the map unlocked check out my other guide linked below so starting from the first step where you start the game you're going to want to come north up this path here to the gate front ruins and then head directly east across this bridge and then at the fork in the road go north and follow this path all the way up to the third church of america located here on the map just where these mountains are you'll be able to head up the cliff by using the wind to jump up the cliff face until you reach this path just here once you're on this path you can just head all the way around here and then head south on the path until you get to the smoldering wall resting spot of grace which is just under this telescope icon on the map here now once you reach this location you're going to have a look on the map and you'll see there's like a wall outline just here follow that along until you get to this sort of dark blotchy area on the map and that's where you're going to put your waypoint just over here so we're starting here at the smoldering wall resting spot you can see this is the resting spot this is the path that you would have come down this is the telescope just here and then you're going to see this big wall so we're basically going to follow this wall all the way to the east and you can see the waypoint that i put over there in the distance earlier and by the way the ultimate dragon t-shirt merch has just dropped so you can check that out from the link below too carry on following the wall and you're basically going to get to a cliff once you reach the edge just over here so we're at the end of that wall there and this is the cliff that drops all the way down and then just to the right there's kind of like this big rocky outcrop and now if you look to the east you can see we can actually drop down on this area just here and you can see just on the other side of this cliff there's another area where we can access like a secret sort of cave so what we're going to do is look at it then you're going to want to sprint and jump and then jump again and here we are now we're at the bottom of this cliff so we can dismount and we can access this secret cave now i'm just here on the map you can see the abandoned cave has now appeared and this is the resting spot we started at just for reference i do recommend that you use a torch when you come down here which you can get all the way back over here in limb grave at the church of ella from the merchant just there so in this location we're going to be dealing with something called scarlet rot in order to resist scarlet rods you're going to want to wear armor with a high immunity rating currently i'm using the astrologers armor set which has a decent immunity rating and if i look at my stats i can see i currently have a total immunity of 113 however if you followed my best starter mage guide you can also get the traveler's outfit which as you can see has a better immunity rating so if we equip this full set of armor you can now see i have a total immunity rating of 132 and with that we're going to be proceeding into the dungeon and again guide on where to get that linked below so we're going to activate the resting spots of grace just here and then you can see just down there is scarlet rot which will kill us pretty damn quickly let me show you guys the problem with it essentially if i drop down i have to walk really slowly through this i also roll really slowly the only way to get away from it is to sort of back dodge like this and obviously once you've contaminated scarlet rot you start to take even more damage in particular these geezers you see exploding with this gas they will just chunk you for tons of damage if you are poisoned to scarlet rot so what we're going to do to counter this is look down there and as soon as you see it explode we're going to run and jump off the edge just now like this and then we're going to look towards us and we're going to just carry on smashing the b button like that and then we're going to end up just here um and just keep smashing b and then just walk over to it don't jump because jumping also isn't fast and then we can just sit here and wait for the scarlet rot to go down but you don't actually have to wait instead what you can do is stand just here and we're going to look to the west now and we're going to like run and jump and you see we don't touch any of the scarlet rot and from here the rest of the dungeon is actually really easy that was the hardest part but you're going to get so used to doing this that honestly you won't find it to be a problem but now we're going to head down here to the north you can activate this um for some extra support if you like do summons because there is a boss at the end and we're literally going to come into this room and turn right and you'll see another cliff now just down there i've already picked out but there will be a unique serpent's bow so if you like you can grab it off that body down there but we need to go off this cliff just down there but you can see there's an enemy i recommend just running past them in fact if you land on my head it makes your life even easier so we're just going to start sprinting straight on now it's going to be some rats here uh we're just going to carry on running past them and ignore this mage at the top jump up here as long as you're sprinting you'll miss you every time run to the right of these rats just carry on running down this little area no point killing anything and now we're gonna go to the right because there's scarlet rot we're gonna jump over there's two majors at the top there so we're gonna run bit to the left then we're going to run right and now we're going to run all the way up here and jump and then just carry on going like that and that's how you basically get past those two majors and the boss gate is just up ahead here but i've already killed the boss on this character don't worry i'll show you how to kill the boss and i'll show you footage in a second but just to be clear with you guys those two majors that you saw on top of that cliff there are very problematic if they hit you with their green spells it will poison you which then makes doing the boss afterwards very hard so that's why you need to sort of run to the left so that they fire their projectiles and since you can run faster than them you then have time to run up to the right and actually jump up without the spells catching up to you now if you're struggling with the scarlet rot you can come back to the resting place of the smoldering wall follow that path south until you get to this resting place the ashtray from salad highway north and then if you come just over here and put a waypoint and then from this resting spot if you look directly east you see there's kind of like a bonfire in the distance he will sell preserving boluses alleviates scarlet rot build up and cures rods alternatively you can also craft yourself preserving polishers too so now to get the golden scour of reward we need to defeat the clean rots knights they're weak to lightning and fire damage so if you're playing a melee character in chart your weapons with fire or lightning and there are tips on how to do that below in the description another way you can cheese these bosses though is with firebombs which work for any class since they are weak to fire but as a mage i'm going to summon the wolves at the start of the fight which these knights really struggle to deal with then you're going to want to focus down the first night while he's distracted the second knight will spawn shortly after and start firing discs at you from a distance so keep an eye on him in the background the sphere knight will often perma block which makes him rather easy to backstab though i wasted a lot of health trying to show you this because i wasn't keeping an eye on the second night's disc attacks i'd actually suggest you even take out the knight with a sickle first since his golden disc attacks are very annoying to dodge they require you to roll twice in a row or you'll get hit by the second one once you have one knight down the first becomes a lot easier though without your wolves distracting him as a pure mage you barely have a window to cast your spells while also dodging the golden discs and as you can see one of the reasons why the wolf summon works so specifically well is due to the fact that the enemies are so tall that when they actually try and stab or slash the wolves their attacks go over their hitbox so that's why pretty much for the majority of the fight my wolves are alive most of the time once defeated you'll be rewarded with the golden scarab which is a talisman you can equip to increase the runes obtained from all defeated enemies by a whole 20 percent permanently while you have it equipped this can even be stacked with the golden pickled faux foot for another 30 percent boost so in total you would have 50 percent more rune gain whenever you kill an enemy i have a guide on how to get unlimited golden pickled foots link down below in the description if you are interested in checking that out next
