12 Elden Ring Tips And Tricks To Help You Easily Conquer The First 10 Hours
The best talismans in Elden Ring
Now, let’s get into what makes each of these talismans so strong, and how you can get your hands on them.
Radagon’s Soreseal location
Marika’s Soreseal location
You’ll find Marika’s Soreseal inElphael, Brace of the Haligtreeat the lowest level of the outer walls, near the Prayer Room site of Grace. You will need two Stonesword Keys to open the fog door and acquire the talisman. This is a very, very late-game area, so consider the lower-level Marika’s Scarseal until this point. You’ll find it under a waterfall in the far north of Siofra River, near the Dragonkin Soldier boss.
Great-Jar’s Arsenal location
The Great-Jar’s Arsenal talisman greatly increases your maximum equip load, making it an excellent choice for colossal weapon users. This talisman makes it possible to run very beefy weapons and armor without crossing the heavy load threshold, keeping your dodge rolls crispy. You can acquire the Great-Jar’s Arsenal from one of our favorite NPCs via a short but easy-to-miss quest.
You will find the Great Jar in thefar north of Caelid, following the canyon path from the northern Siofra River lift. On the path in front of him are three hostile NPC summon signs, seen above. These are easy to miss, as they aren’t directly at his feet and often get buried in bloodstains. Speak to the Great Jar, summon and defeat all three invaders, then speak to the Great Jar again to earn your reward.
Shard of Alexander location
The Shard of Alexander greatly increases the damage of weapon skills. If you’ve watched any speedruns or read our breakdown of thebest weapons in Elden Ring, you will know that powerful weapon skills are among the best damage sources in the game, even without the Shard of Alexander talisman. With it, you can break Elden Ring wide open.
Getting this talisman takes a few steps though, as you’ll have toplay out the entire Iron-fist Alexander, Warrior Jar questline. You’ll initially find Alexander on Stormhill, but the first truly necessary step of his quest is defeating Radahn. Speak to Alexander at the site of Grace after the fight, and then find him again inLiurniaon the cliffs above Jarburg. Free him using an oil pot, and then he will move on to Mt. Gelmir, where you will find him bathing in the magma in the far west of the area. Speak to him here, and you will have the option to summon him to fight the Fire Giant. Whether you summon him there or not, you will next find him on the floating walkway near the Dragon Temple Lift Grace inCrumbling Farum Azula. Speak to him here, and he will challenge you to a duel. Defeat him to earn the Shard of Alexander.
Erdtree’s Favor +2 locaiton
Radagon Icon location
The Radagon Icon shortens spell casting time, making it a great pick for many caster builds. If you’re struggling to get spells off without taking a hit, Radagon Icon will be a big help. You’ll find it in theRaya Lucaria Academy, at the top of a ladder near the Debate Parlor site of Grace. Head out into the courtyard, hook to the right, then hop the fence and climb the ladder seen above.
Rotten Winged Sword Insignia location
The Rotten Winged Sword Insignia increases the power of successive attacks, providing a huge damage boost to fast-attacking weapons like claws and katanas. Landing three hits will activate the buff. You can do this even faster when dual-wielding, making the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia arguably best-in-slot for dual-wield builds. However, it takes some serious time and effort to acquire.
To earn the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, you will need tocomplete almost the entirety ofMillicent’s questline. You will first meet her near Selia, Town of Sorcery in the Church of Plague. Speak to Gowry in the shack just south of town and follow his instructions to knock out the first few steps of the quest. Once Millicent wakes up and departs the church, return to Gowry’s shack to find her there. Exhaust her dialogue there, then head to the Erdtree-Gazing Hill site of Grace onAltus Plateauand bring her the Valkyrie’s Prosthesis from the Shaded Castle. Find her once more after defeating the Godskin Apostle at Dominula, Windmill Village, next to the site of Grace. Next, track her down at the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Grace, then the Prayer Room Grace in the Haligtree.
Once you’ve spoken to her here, head deeper into the tree and defeat the Ulcerated Tree Spirit near the Drainage Channel site of Grace. Reload the area to find two summon signs, one to challenge Millicent and one to help her fight off 4 invaders. Help Milicent to earn the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.
Flock’s Canvas talisman location
The Flock’s Canvas is the incantation counterpart of Graven-Mass, greatly raising the potency of incantations. To acquire it, you will need tocomplete Millicent’s questline, as detailed in the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia section above. If you choose to challenge Millicent rather than help, you will find Gowry dead in his shack, with the Flock’s Canvas talisman on his body. If you helped Millicent, Gowry will still be alive. However, you can kill him to acquire both the talisman and a bell bearing that will transfer his shop inventory to the Husk Sisters. We recommend this route, as you can acquire both talismans this way. Plus, Gowry is a bit of a creep.
Graven-Mass talisman location
The Graven-Mass Talisman greatly raises the potency of sorceries, making it a must for all sorcery users. You will find it inside theAlbinauric Rise tower in the eastern Consecrated Snowfield. Use a Bewitching Branch on one of the two imps outside the tower to make them attack each other. Once one dies, the seal on the tower will break and you can head inside.
Dragoncrest Greatshield talisman location
Scorpion Charm locations
The Fire, Lighting, Magic, and Sacred Scorpion charms boost fire, lighting, magic, or holy damage, respectively. However, they also reduce your damage negation. These talismans are a big boost to elemental weapons, especially when using a weapon skill that matches that damage type. Their locations are:
Claw Talisman location
The Claw Talisman enhances the power of jump attacks. There are several similar talismans that enhance other attack types, but the Claw Talisman stands out since jump attacks are already so strong. They are one of the faster options for large weapons, and do significant poise damage to all enemies, making them great for quick staggers and crits.
The Claw Talisman is located on top of atower in Stormveil Castle. Head outside from the Rampart Tower Grace, then jump down onto the rooftops. Navigate around until you find a large, open roof with a ladder up an adjacent watchtower. Climb the ladder, and you’ll find the Claw Talisman on top.
Gold Scarab talisman location
