Where to Find Ritual Sword Talisman in Elden Ring
The Ritual Sword Talisman can be found in the Lux Ruins located southeast of the Altus Plateau. Erdtree Gazing Hill Site of Grace is your closest point of interest to reach Lux Ruins. The location has been marked on the map for your convenience.
The forest around the ruins is patrolled by demi-humans and hence the players approaching the area are advised to be cautious. After entering this two-room mini-dungeon, the players will encounter the only demi-human boss in there which is guarding the locked door behind which lies the Talisman.
