Thanks for sharing! The full Alexanders quest isn't necessary to obtain. Only 3 things are required. 1 Exhausting his speech after defeating Radahn, 2 Exhausting his speech at the seethe water terminus dragon pond, and 3 killing him at farum azula. After speaking with him at seethewater he can also be a summon for fighting fire giant. Ive obtained his shard many times but I rarely use it. My slots are mostly defensive. dragoncrest greatshield talisman, bull goat, erdtreefavor 2, and arrows reach because the bow is constantly used. My fighting styles are: CHARGE! and ATTACK! so I get my offensive power from a thorny 3 minute physic and even more defense from a crab chewy. Nowadays I just co op on xbox and ps5 with about a dozen builds helping others past bosses and dragons. Summon 6 will see you tarnished in the lands between! subbed/liked
My two favorite talismans are the blood and wrath talismans. They require a high level to use, but allow you to enter the altars, which is helpful for most magic builds.
Maybe Bonfire will make a video about these too. There's also so many useful early game talismans that can help the player along the way. Like the Mind Talisman.
I think you’re right about it not working on some of the weapon buff ones. Also, if you just brutally murder him at the beginning of the game you can get one that does 10%. But thank you for this, genuinely couldn’t find the area for this one lol.
