How to Get the ‘Incursion’ Painting in Shadow of the Erdtree

‘Incursion’ can be found quite close to the first Site of Grace in Gravesite Plain, but you can’t get to it right as you first step foot into the Realm of Shadow. Instead, you’ll need to circumvent about half of the starting area and then climb a hill found right above the Gravesite Plain Site of Grace. It’s a bit of a hassle, but the journey is well worth it because you’ll find a bunch of other rewards in the area.

Not a terrible set at the start of your adventures in the Realm of Shadow.

To get started, travel north from the first Site of Grace until you reach the Three-Path Cross. From there, follow the road west and then turn south to find a path that leads you to Prospect Town. Once you reach the Site of Grace, start traveling southeast through the forest and use Torrent to climb the hill found at the end of the path. You’ll find the ‘Incursion’ Painting inside an Artist’s Shack sitting on top of the hill. While you’re in the area, make sure to visit the Church of Benediction and its surroundings in the valley below to loot theBlessed Blue Dew Talisman, the Oathseeker Knight Set, and thePataFist weapon.

How to Solve the ‘Incursion’ Painting Puzzle in Shadow of the Erdtree

To find the location depicted in the Painting you’ll need to make your way to the Greatbridge, North Site of Grace. You’ll find this location north of the Three-Path Cross and east of Belurat, Tower Settlement. From there, turn west and you’ll already see the location you’re looking for in the distance, namely, the bridge leading up to Belurat.

Make your way to the other side of the shallow lake and you’ll soon spot a ghostly artist sitting in a chair near some ruins. As soon as you get close enough, the ghost will disappear, leaving behind a valuable item in the form of the Serpent Crest Shield. You can explore the nearby lake if you’re looking for more loot, but be wary the Ghostflame Dragon that sleeps there.
