From here, make your way west of this area. Scale down the cliffs, but find an area where you may safely jump down without taking fatal fall damage. The water is safe to travel on. You may encounter aGhost Trollwhere the water is.

From here, go up the cliff until you see the teleporter at the highest point of this area. You’ll need anImbued Sword Keyto unlock this portal. One can be found near the Castle-Lord’s Chamber Site of Grace at Castle Ensis if you do not have one.

How to find the Verdigris Discus in Elden Ring

Once you enter the teleporter, you’re going to be at the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. Kill the enemy in the middle so it won’t bother you. Finally, head towards the inside of the cliff going north until you find an altar with two columns. The item should be right in front of it.

What does the Verdigris Discus do?

The Verdigris Discus is a relic thatraises your defense based on how heavy your equipment load is. The heavier the equipment, the more effective the item is. That means you will need to sacrifice mobility and have a Heavy Load in order to maximize its effect.

It pairs particularly well with the rest of the Verdigris set that you can get rather early on inShadow of the Erdtree,depending on what you decide to do with Moore regarding his quest line.
