The Sharpshot Talisman is a valuable item introduced in the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This talisman boosts the power of precision-based ranged attacks, making it an essential tool for archers and marksmen who rely on bows, crossbows, and even ballistae. Whether you're seeking to enhance your damage output in ranged combat or want to maximize the effectiveness of precision shots, the Sharpshot Talisman is a great addition to your collection.

Where to Find the Sharpshot Talisman

The Sharpshot Talisman can be found in the Albinauric's Shack, located to the north of the Shadow Keep legacy dungeon. Here are the steps to acquire it:

Reach the Shadow Keep Church District: First, navigate your way through the Shadow Keep Church District, which provides access to the upper levels of the Shadow Keep Storehouse.

Take the Elevator to the Back Gate: Once you've made your way through the Church District, use the elevator to descend into the Back Gate area. This area will lead you to the location of the Albinauric's Shack.

Defeat Commander Gaius: Before heading to the shack, ensure you've defeated Commander Gaius, a key boss in the area. After defeating him, head northwest toward the Scaduview site of grace.

Find the Path to the Shack: From the Scaduview site of grace, follow the dirt path northwest until you reach a fork in the road. Take the left, grassy dirt path heading west, and this will lead you directly to the Albinauric's Shack.

Defeat the Wolf Rider Archer: Be on alert as a Wolf Rider Archer is likely to spot you when approaching the shack. This archer will attack you, but once defeated, you can pick up Gaius's Greaves as a drop.

Pick Up the Sharpshot Talisman: Inside the shack, look for a glowing purple item on top of a pile of charred rubble. This is the Sharpshot Talisman. Simply interact with the item to collect it.
