Talismans
Erdtrees`s Favor +2
Obtained from a corpse in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, which can only be accessed late-game, after defeating Maliketh, the Black Blade. This area is only accessible when approaching from the Forbidden Lands. Head west into the capital from the Grand Lift of Rold, down the staircases, and to the south end of the ash-covered area, where the corpse can be found, hanging from the top of a tree root that juts out of the ground. Beware of the three Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirits that guard the area. Hug the walls of the area as you head south to avoid them.
