The Lands Between have always been a harsh and unrelenting location. Thankfully, players have so many options to choose from when it comes to play style, be it melee, caster or a mix of between. But one thing in the base game ofElden Ringthat was missing was FP regen. Thankfully inShadow of the Erdtree, that has (mostly) been resolved.
If you are a caster, FP has always been a bit of an issue. While you can siphon some of your HP potions in favor of FP, it still only offered a small band-aid when it came to traveling long distances and using up all your magical juice. In boss fights, it was never too much of an issue as it was mainly just seeing how much you can get away with, but now it’s easier to maintain.
TheElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreeexpansion offers something Elden Ring should have had in the first place: a talisman that passivelyregens your FP, similar to theBlessed Dew Talismanthat regenerates HP. That’s right, we no longer have to look to mods to help with our mana pool, but instead FromSoftware has implemented a means of restoring MP without using potions, even though the regeneration rate is slow.
From the Start
Review: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Elden Ring wasn’t enough for the massive playerbase, as Shadow of the Erdtree offers an extension of what we’ve come to love.
Right from when you enter the shadow realm, you are able to quickly get this important talisman. In fact, the location of said talisman is right behind you when you are teleported to the new location, it’s just it’s on an elevated cliff that you currently are unable to access.
Thankfully, it’s only a short trek to actually get there. From the start of the expansion, head north until you reach the first group of NPCs. Continue northwest until you reach theMain Gate Crossgrace. Do a 180 and move up the cliffside to the south where you’ll encounter bats and eventually trolls. Simply follow the road into the lightning goat forest before you come upon somegnarly rats. Instead of going up the cliff, head down where the rats are until you reach a chapel.
Church of Benediction
The Church of Benedictionis guarded by one dexterous individual, but whether you kill him or avoid him doesn’t matter, in front of the giant statue in the church will be theBlessed Blue Dew Talisman. As its description bluntly states, this Talisman will restore your FP over time. Whether you’re an INT, faith or even a hybrid of melee and magic, this is a talisman you’re able to’t ignore.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree is the first and only DLC expansion for FromSoftware’s groundbreaking Elden Ring. It takes players to a whole new region, the Land of Shadow, where a new story awaits the Tarnished.
