Discover the Artist's Shack in Elden Ring's Limgrave! Learn how to find the Homing Instinct Painting and the Incantation Scarab helmet with this quick guide.
Alright, Tarnished! Let's talk about the Artist's Shack in Limgrave. It's not a super complex spot, but it holds a couple of neat items you'll want to grab. Think of it as a quick detour on your journey.
How to Find the Artist's Shack
You'll want to start at the Agheel Lake North Site of Grace. From there, follow the road heading southeast. Keep an eye out for Kaiden Sellswords and that big Troll-pulled cart – you can try to fight them or just give 'em a wide berth. Your goal is to cross a bridge. Once you're over, the road forks. Take the path heading north, and when it starts to bend northeast, look for a smaller trail veering off to the northwest. Follow that trail, and you'll eventually stumble upon the Artist's Shack. You'll also find the Artist's Shack Site of Grace nearby, so be sure to activate that!
Best Loot in the Artist's Shack
The shack itself isn't crawling with enemies, which is a nice break. Inside, you'll find a painting that gives you a clue for your next objective.
| Item | Location |
| Homing Instinct Painting | Search a painting inside the Artist’s Shack. |
| Incantation Scarab | After acquiring the Homing Instinct Painting, seek out a ruined arch southeast of The First Step Site of Grace, southwest of the Dragon-Burnt Ruins on the edge of Lake. When you find the ruined arch, a ghost will appear and leave behind this helmet when he vanishes. |
How to Find the Homing Instinct Painting
As I mentioned, there aren't any enemies right around the shack itself. Just head inside and check out the painting. It's surprisingly well-preserved and gives you a hint about a gravestone near a big stone arch. That's your next clue!
How to Find the Incantation Scarab
So, that painting you found? It's pointing you towards the Incantation Scarab. To get it, fast travel back to The First Step Site of Grace. From there, head southeast. You're looking for some ruins that are southwest of the Dragon-Burnt Ruins. You might have to carefully make your way down some cliffs to get to the edge of Lake Agheel and then skirt around it. Watch out for those Giant Bats in the area. Keep heading south, and you should spot a ruined, free-standing arch. As you get close, a ghostly figure will pop up and point towards the arch before vanishing. When he disappears, he'll leave behind a glowing item – that's your Incantation Scarab! This helmet is pretty cool because it lowers your defenses a bit but also reduces the FP cost of your spells.
Pro-Tip: While you're in the general area, southwest of the Dragon-Burnt Ruins, you can find some ruins that bridge a ravine. Across that, you'll find the Murkwater Coast Site of Grace. If you head north from there and examine a crone statue on a rock, it'll guide you into the ravine where you can find the Murkwater Catacombs dungeon. Just something to keep in mind if you're exploring!
