To acquire the My Loyal Shield map, visit Eberk, a merchant located outside the entrance of South Warden Tower. This merchant is easily found by heading north on the road from the entry point of Galawin’s Tusk, and the only threat you face is the merchant’s pricing. Eberk charges 5,220 skeyt for the map.

If you lack sufficient funds, explore the tower’s various floors to collect weapons to sell. The proceeds should provide enough gold to purchase the map.

The callout box on the map can be a bit misleading, as it refers more to access than to the actual location. To find the treasure, travel northwest from South Warden Tower along the lava river until you spot Outcast Tower Camp to your north. This broken tower, marked with scaffolding, indicates proximity. Focus on locating an Ekida-slash-Godless ruin instead.

Upon arrival, you’ll notice a swarm of beetles feeding on cadaver remains. It’s best to ignore these creatures and veer left, leading you to the back entrance of the tower. Inside, you will find a table and an otherwise empty chamber. The callout was indicating this table, specifically the button that triggers the opening of a hidden door.

Activate the button, proceed through the door, drop into the chamber, and claim your prize: the tier-four Time’s Tarnish shield. Although the room may appear intimidating, there are no further threats inside.

In Galawin’s Tusk, players face numerous threats, and if they haven’t kept upgrade materials, they might lack a tier-four armor piece. This shield serves as an effective interim solution for defense until better equipment can be obtained, making it worth equipping even for those who typically favor other gear.
