Leyndell, Ashen Capital
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you can visit Leyndell, Ashen Capital, an alternate version of the former Royal City. This area contains several treasures and bosses, and can only be reached after you’ve defeated the game’s final boss, Maliketh, the Black Blade. If you’re still on a quest to complete the game, this is the perfect place to get all the secrets and guide information you need.
The Ashen Capital is the home of the Erdtree’s Favor talisman. It increases maximum HP, stamina capacity, and equip load. You can find this talisman in two versions: the +1 and +2. Both increase the maximum HP and stamina capacity by 4.5%, respectively. They also increase the maximum equip load by 8% and 10%, respectively. As for where to find these items, they are located in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, south of the Ashen City.
Oracle Envoys
In the Ashen Capital, you need to find the Ashen Capital Elder Ring in order to receive the quest. There are two ways to get there. You can teleport to the site from the Avenue Balcony, located northwest of the main building. Alternatively, you can also go to the East Capital Rampart, located south of the main building. This room has three envoys guarding it.
The first way to get to the Ashen Capital Elder Ring is to take the Golden Rune from an Oracle Envoy. These creatures are very low-level and have pathetic attacks. They roll around the platform and fire slow, ineffective projectiles. Thankfully, they’re relatively easy to get past post-death, so try to clear them out as you go. In addition to the Elder Ring, there are other ruins that can be found throughout the Ashen Capital Elder Ring.
Fighting the Elden Beast
Fighting the powerful Elden Beast is a crucial task in completing the quest. The Elden Beast has a wide range of attacks, including its massive black hole, which it launches tiny tracking stars at in every direction. If you are caught unaware, the Elden Beast will use its Magic Grab to one-shot you or inflict massive damage. To counter this, roll forward and dodge while it is still glowing.
The Elden Beast has many spells, so use your best defensive abilities. If you have a mage class, try using your Carian Greatsword or Adula’s Moonblade. If you are a warrior, use jumped attacks. Blocking the Elden Beast’s sweeping attacks will delay the last two. Regardless of class, it is important to be prepared to roll through the attacks if necessary.
Consecrated Snowfield
To complete the quest “Consecrated Snowfield”, you must get two halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion. To do this, you must visit the Inner Consecrated Snowfield Site of Grace in Elden Ring and then proceed west. After completing the quest, you will receive the Unalloyed Gold Needle from Millicent. She will also alert you to a coming invasion.
Once you’ve obtained these items, the next step is to fight the Elden Ring bosses. These enemies will eventually show up in the Consecrated Snowfield and Leyndell regions. They are powerful melee and AoE enemies. Be sure to use Holyproof Dried Liver and Lord’s Divine Fortification to mitigate their damage. You can also cast +10 Mimic Tear to split aggro.
Getting Erdtree’s Favor +2
In the Elden Ring, you can equip talismans that raise various stats and skills. Erdtree’s Favor is a talisman that greatly increases maximum HP, stamina, and equip load. There are two versions of Erdtree’s Favor, the first one giving a +4 HP boost and the other one giving a +9.6% stamina boost. You can equip either version once. This item is only found in the Ashen Capital, but it can help you to maximize the potential of your Elden Ring by boosting your stats.
Getting Erdtree’s Favor +2, also known as the Ashen Capital Elder Ring, can be very challenging, but it is necessary to have this ring to stay alive in the Forbidden Lands. You can find Erdtree’s Favor +2 on a tree branch in the courtyard, which is northeast of the Queen’s Bedchamber. You must also visit the Forbidden Lands site of grace in the Ashen Capital to obtain this item.
