Where to Find the Assassin's Crimson Dagger in Elden Ring

Looking for the Assassin's Crimson Dagger in Elden Ring? We've got all the details you'll need.
Elden Ring features a vast array of Talismans, each one possessing a unique perk that can aid you on your journey through the Lands Between. Some are simple to get hold of, others require you to fell a boss or two. The Assassin's Crimson Dagger (not to be confused with the Assassin's Cerulean Dagger) falls into the latter of the two categories.
Assassin's Crimson Dagger has the unique effect of restoring roughly 20% of HP with each critical hit it lands, making it a true assassin's friend.
So, how do you get hold of the Assassin's Crimson Dagger?

Where to Find the Assassin's Crimson Dagger in Elden Ring
To find the Assassin's Crimson Dagger, players will need to head to the Deathtouched Catacombs. Here, you'll need to defeat the Black Knife Assassin, who will drop the Talisman upon death.
To get to the Deathtouched Catacombs, head northeast of Stormgate. The Deathtouched Catacombs are to the west of the bridge that heads towards Summonwater Village.
The Black Knife Assassin's are optional field bosses found in a few locations, but it's the one in the Deathtouched Catacombs which will drop the dagger. You'll be able to summon spirits to help you with this fight, unlike the one in Black Knife Catacombs.
