All Elden Ring Talismans And Where To Find Them

You can find an array of the best Elden Ring talismans in the RPG game’s vast open world. Though their utility will vary based on your Elden Ring build and which of the best Elden Ring weapons you’re using, talismans provide a much-needed helping hand when taking on Elden Ring bosses. We have listed every talisman from the base game and the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Best Elden Ring DLC talismans

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adds 39 talismans to the game. In addition to upgrades to existing talismans, there are several damage negation talismans that are extremely useful against the bosses in the expansion.
Here are the best Elden Ring DLC talismans:

Blessed Blue Dew

For any build that relies on FP and magic, this talisman will save you from having to invest so much in the Flask of Cerulean Tears. The rate is quite slow, but it’s better than nothing, and you can always focus on dodging while it recharges if you’re desperate.

Golden Braid

An essential choice for the Elden Ring Promised Consort Radahn boss fight, this talisman protects you from a large amount of holy damage. Given that this tough boss has some brutal holy-based attacks, you’ll want to pop this on so that you can negate a lot of the incoming damage that’s otherwise difficult to avoid.

Two-Headed Turtle

This is a direct upgrade from the Green Turtle Talisman, dramatically increasing your stamina recovery speed. If you’re using a melee build focusing on blocking or dodging a lot to avoid damage, then this is a must-have talisman.

Pearl Shield

While blocking all physical damage with a shield is easy, negating all other kinds is just about impossible, regardless of what you equip. However, with the Pearl Shield Talisman, you can boost all of your damage negation for anything that’s not physical, which is great against any enemy that would deal both physical and non-physical damage at the same time with their strongest attacks.

Ailment

Are you struggling against enemies or other players that rely on status effects such as bleed or madness to defeat you? If so, this talisman will give you some bonus resistance to the buildup of the last element that triggered because the bar rose to the maximum threshold.

All Elden Ring DLC talismans

Here is every Elden Ring DLC talisman in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion:

Best Elden Ring talisman locations

The base game has 93 talismans, all of which have their own buffs, or in some cases debuffs, that apply to the user when worn. We’ve selected our favorites for you to track down.
Here are the ten best Elden Ring talismans:

Arsenal Charm Assassin’s Crimson Dagger Concealing Veil Curved Sword Talisman Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman Erdtree’s Favor Godskin Swaddling Cloth Gold Scarab Green Turtle Talisman Twinblade Talisman

Arsenal Charm

This talisman boosts your maximum equipment load by 15%. You get this from speaking to Nephali in Roundtable Hold after you slay Godrick the Grafted.
You can find the upgraded versions of this talisman in the Altus Tunnel and by completing The Great-Jar’s challenge to defeat three duelists in Dragonbarrow. These increase your equipment load by 17% for the +1 variation and +19% for the Great-Jar’s Arsenal.

Assassin’s Crimson Dagger

Critical Hits restore roughly 20% of your total HP. It’s a reward for slaying the Black Knife Assassin in the Deathtouched Catacombs dungeon in Limgrave.

Concealing Veil

Conceals wearer while crouching away from foes. Drops from the Black Knife Assassin boss found in Sage’s Cave in Altus Plateau.

Curved Sword Talisman

Enhances guard counters. Found in a treasure chest in a dark room in the wine cellar of Stormveil Castle. You have to clear this area to continue into Stormveil Castle anyway, but it’s possible to miss the chest in the room as it’s so dark.

Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman

This is a great one for melee-focused players. It provides a massive boost to physical damage negation, adding +20 to all the relevant stats.
You can find it on an elevated platform in a building northeast of Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree. You can reach the access point by going to the Drainage Channel Site of Grace, but it’s guarded by Pests.

Erdtree’s Favor

Increases maximum HP, stamina, and equip load. You can select it as a Keepsake in the character creator, or you can find it in the Fringefolk Hero’s Cave in Limgrave.
You can also find higher-tier versions of this talisman. To get the Erdtree’s Favor +1 variant, head to the boss room in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, where you fight Mohg, the Omen. You can risk it by opening the chest mid-fight, but it’s safer to get it once Mohg’s dead.
The Erdtree’s Favor +2 variant is on a tree in the far east of Leyndell, Ashen Capital, close to the elevator near the Forbidden Lands and East Altus Diving Tower. You need to backtrack from the Forbidden Lands Site of Grace to reach this talisman.

Godskin Swaddling Cloth

Successive attacks restore HP. Drops from the Godskin Apostle & Godskin Noble boss fight in Spiritcaller’s Cave, in the Mountaintops of the Giants region.

Gold Scarab

This Talisman increases the number of runes you get from enemies. This is around a 20% increase, but the effect can be stacked with other rune-boosting items. You get this reward for beating the two Cleanrot Knights in the Abandoned Cave in Caelid.

Green Turtle Talisman

Raises stamina recovery speed. Found in a turtle-filled area in Summonwater Village in Limgrave. Find the imp statue where the tortoises are scattered around and use a Stonesword Key to unlock the ruins. Open the door at the end to find the talisman.

Twinblade Talisman

Enhances the final hit, ending a chain of attacks. You can find it inside a chest in a tower close to the battlements of Castle Morne. From the Behind the Castle grace, look along the cliffs to find a path down. Run past the Demi-Humans to find a tower on the other side of the bridge. Kill the Demi-Human blocking your way and climb the ladder to reach the tower. Climb to the top to get the chest.

How to get Elden Ring Talisman Pouches

Talisman pouches allow you to equip more talismans at once. There are only a handful of these in the game, so here is where you get additional Elden Ring talisman slots:

Talisman Pouch #1 – this drops after you beat Margit the Fell Omen. Talisman Pouch #2 – this can be acquired from Finger Reader Enia, the old person you find by Two Fingers in Roundtable Hold. You can only get this after acquiring two Elden Ring Great Runes. Talisman Pouch #3 – you get this for defeating Godfrey in Leyndell, Royal Capital.

These are all Elden Ring talismans in the game so far. To become even more powerful in battle, look at our Elden Ring weapon arts guide, the Elden Ring ashes of war locations, and Elden Ring crystal tear locations. We also have a guide about how to get all the best Elden Ring endings, that is, if you’re curious about the unlock conditions.
