Where To Find Smithing Talisman Location
Toget the Smithing Talisman inShadow of the Erdtree, you must enterthe Ruined Forge of Starfall Past. From the entrance, go straight using the bridge and interact with the lever to open the gate below. From there, go forward through the narrow passage, and go right when you reach the large, empty chamber.
The player will have to go through another narrow passageway. A few steps before it opens up into another chamber, there will be a ladder leading up. Use it to reach another narrow passageway that leads into a lava-ridden chamber with some lava blobs and gem golems. Ignore the enemies and continue forward, using the rubble to climb up to the platform.
Follow the path from there, taking a right into another chamber, to reach a corpse holding the Smithing Talisman. Move immediately after picking it up, as a lava blob will jump onto you, dealing a lot of damage, or even killing a player without the sufficient vigor stats.
