Waterfall behind the upper Dragonkin basin

Siofra River

Starting Site of Grace: Worshippers' Woods

1. Enter Siofra River through the Mistwood well and reach Worshippers' Woods in the open basin.
2. Go south to the fallen stone pillar and climb it to the elevated waygate.
3. Use the waygate to reach the upper basin containing a Dragonkin Soldier.
4. Stay along the right-hand cliff and circle toward the waterfall behind the boss's area.
5. Loot the corpse at the base of the waterfall for the talisman. Defeating the Dragonkin Soldier is optional.

Notes

• Adds 3 Mind, Intelligence, Faith and Arcane while increasing incoming physical and elemental damage by 10%.
• The added attributes can help meet spell, weapon and catalyst requirements. Damage only improves where your actual attack scales with the added attributes; twelve total points do not give the same benefit to every build.
• Mind raises maximum FP. Intelligence, Faith and Arcane can improve compatible scaling, but the talisman does not raise Vigor, Endurance or equipment-load capacity.
• The Arcane increase also contributes to Item Discovery. It does not automatically add Blood Loss buildup to weapons without Arcane scaling.
• Cannot be equipped with Marika's Soreseal. The incoming-damage penalty affects every hit covered by its damage types, rather than only enemy spells.
• Removing it can put a spell or weapon below its requirements. Check which equipment depends on the bonus before swapping it out before a fight.
• The Dragonkin Soldier in the upper Siofra basin is optional. The corpse is at the waterfall behind its arena.
