Looking for info on Elden Ring Talismans? Talismans are Elden Ring’s version of rings from the Souls games. Each Talisman bestows a passive buff, with effects ranging from general boons like faster stamina regen to increased damage for the final attack in a twinblade combo.
An array of different Talismans can be found in Elden Ring’s vast open world; you can find some in treasure chests in Elden Ring dungeons, some drop as loot from enemies and bosses, and others can be bought from merchants. As you progress to more challenging areas, you will encounter upgraded versions of Talismans with increased effects. You can expand the number of Talismans you can equip at the same time using Talisman Pouches.
Though their utility will vary based on your Elden Ring class and playstyle, Talismans provide a much needed helping hand when it comes to taking on Elden Ring bosses. To help you formulate your strategy, we’ve put together an Elden Ring Talisman list containing each Talisman’s effects and location. We haven’t found them all yet, so this list is incomplete, but we’ll add to it as we learn more.
How to get Elden Ring Talisman Pouches
- Talisman Pouch 1: Drops after beating Margit the Fell Omen
- Talisman Pouch 2: Reward from the old character you find by Two Fingers in Roundtable Hold – you get this for beating the second main boss: Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon
Best Elden Ring Talismans
While they all provide benefits, Elden Ring talismans vary wildly in terms of usefulness; compare the Arsenal Charm, which boosts your maximum equipment load (helpful) to the Blue Dancer Charm, which boosts your physical attack power depending on your equip burden, so only really pays off if you’re scampering around in your underthings (not recommended).
The best Elden Ring talismans we’ve found so far are:
- Arsenal Charm – Boosts maximum equipment load
- Arrow’s Reach Talisman – Increases the effective range of bows by 65%
- Blessed Dew Talisman – Gradually restores HP
