The Smithing Talisman can be looted from a corpse found in the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past. Follow the steps below to make your way over to the corpse:

• From the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past Site of Grace, head straight and drop to your left from the bridge. Kill the Misbegotten in front of you and make your way across the tunnel.
• After making it to the next room, go straight and turn right to find another tunnel. There are Giant Golems in this room, if you need to take them out attack the exposed crystal on their back.
• Make your way near the end of the second tunnel. Close to the end, you will find a ladder on your right. Climb it to make it to the next section of the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past.
• Now, make your way across to the next room. Climb the broken ledges on your left to get to the top of the next room. After making your way out, you will come across a suspended platform.
• The room on the left of this platform has the corpse containing the Smithing Talisman. Loot the corpse right in front of you and be prepared to fight a bunch of Fire Blobs.
• There are about seven fire blobs in this room, so make haste and defeat them if you don't want to die.
