How Many Talismans Can You Get in Elden Ring? A Comprehensive Guide
The world of Elden Ring is vast and brimming with items to discover, and among the most crucial are Talismans. These powerful accessories offer a wide range of stat boosts and gameplay enhancements, significantly impacting your build and overall combat effectiveness. A common question among new and seasoned players alike is: How many Talismans can you get? The straightforward answer is that while there are over 100 Talismans to collect, you can only equip a maximum of four at any one time. This limit is imposed by the number of Talisman Pouch items you acquire throughout your journey. Let’s delve deeper into the mechanics of Talismans, how to obtain them, and answer some of the most common queries players have regarding this critical aspect of Elden Ring.
Understanding Talisman Pouches
Your capacity to equip Talismans is dictated by the Talisman Pouches you possess. You start with one Talisman slot, allowing you to equip only one talisman. You will need to acquire additional pouches to increase this limit to the maximum of four. Unlike other items which are readily found or purchased throughout the world, Talisman Pouches are key items, that once acquired, increase the overall Talisman slots you have to equip. There are three additional Talisman Pouches available to collect in the game, bringing your total to four talisman slots.
Obtaining Talisman Pouches
The hunt for more Talisman slots is a critical step in improving your build. Here’s how you can find all three additional Talisman Pouches:
- Defeat Margit, the Fell Omen: Your first additional Talisman Pouch is awarded to you after you defeat the powerful boss, Margit, the Fell Omen, located at the entrance to Stormveil Castle in West Limgrave. This reward will give you two Talisman slots in total.
- Rewarded by Finger Reader Enia (or the Twin Maiden Husks): The second pouch is given to you by Finger Reader Enia in the Roundtable Hold once you have obtained two Great Runes. If you happen to miss this reward or have sold the runes, it can also be purchased from the Twin Maiden Husks also in the Roundtable Hold. This will increase your Talisman slots to three.
- Defeat Godfrey, First Elden Lord: The final Talisman Pouch is obtained by defeating Godfrey, First Elden Lord in Leyndell, Royal Capital. This encounter occurs after completing “Crumbling Farum Azula”. After your victory you’ll be able to equip four Talismans.
