The Best Elden Ring Talisman list, the locations, and pouches

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.

Elden Ring Talisman list, locations, and pouches

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.
