Then head to the Abandoned Cave, which is located east of the Smoldering Wall and south of Deep Siofra Well.
Follow the cliff side and find a broken tree hanging over a ravine. This will take you to the cave. There is also a Place of Grace within it. So, do not forget to activate it, however, it is better to do this with each place of grace.
Once inside, all you have to do is make your way through the rot-infested cave and defeat the two knights. They attack together, but dealing with the mobs is quite easy if you take them apart one by one.
Defeating them will earn you the Golden Scarab Talisman. Equip it any time you want to get more runes from enemies. But don't forget to take it off during boss fights as it takes up a talisman slot.
Elden Ring may take a long time to win, but the Golden Scarab can make it faster.
