Where is it located and how to get through the Grave of the Outskirts Hero dungeon
Travel to the place of grace The First Step. The path forward begins by turning around, entering the building, and taking the elevator down into a sprawling dungeon. After activating the place of grace, the required segment lies beyond the fog. To clear it, two xiphoid keys are needed. These keys appear in the open world or can be bought from merchants. More details are available in a separate guide.
When the fog lifts, drop down and press forward. Aim to cross the green water area swiftly to avoid the poisoning effect. A massive chariot descends the ramp. On both sides, small alcoves serve as safe islands. Move from one shelter to the next and descend gradually.
At the end of the area, a mini boss called Manifest Tree Spirit awaits. Dodge its attacks and strike from the sides. Defeating the boss yields a golden seed and ghost ash, which can be used to summon an allied warrior. This mechanic is explained in greater depth in another guide.
How to obtain the Grace of the Tree of Erd talisman to increase health, mana and stamina
Return to the dungeon’s entrance and advance until a bridge appears where the sides have no flooring. A downward path lies to the right. This leads to a hidden location. Continue down the corridor past the fire trap, shielding against flames with a shield or timing your run carefully.
Into a vast hall you will enter. Do not rush. Two multi armed foes confront the player from the front and back. The fight here is perilous and prone to a fall into the abyss. A safer approach is to retreat to the entrance and eliminate them one by one. If these foes prove too strong, it is possible to bypass them and grab the talisman in the room’s center.
Features of the talisman Grace of the Tree of Erd
The talisman adds 58 health points, 9 stamina, and increases carrying capacity by 5 units. It suits both newcomers and seasoned players who have already developed their prowess. There is also a second option, Radagon’s Seal Against Scars, which increases vitality, agility, fortitude and strength by 3 while increasing damage dealt by 15 percent. This talisman can be particularly useful for players who excel at dodging enemy attacks and will be covered in a future guide.
