If you seek divine protection against <strong>Holy damage<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll need to find a <strong>Holy Talisman<\/strong>. So, where can you get a <strong>Holy Talisman<\/strong> in Elden Ring?<\/p>\n<p>The primary <strong>Holy Talisman<\/strong> you&#8217;ll be looking for is the <strong>Haligdrake Talisman<\/strong>, along with its upgraded versions. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of where to find them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Haligdrake Talisman (Base):<\/strong> This talisman is looted off a body in the <strong>Stranded Graveyard<\/strong>, on a ledge above the start of the tutorial. From the <strong>Seaside Ruins Site of Grace<\/strong>, look for a path leading upwards. It&#8217;s a bit tricky to reach, so explore carefully. This is an early-game find, making it incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Haligdrake Talisman +1:<\/strong> This upgraded version is located in the <strong>Weeping Peninsula<\/strong>. Head to the <strong>Tombsward Catacombs<\/strong>, a dungeon found near the Minor Erdtree. Within the catacombs, after defeating the boss, you&#8217;ll find the <strong>Haligdrake Talisman +1<\/strong> as a reward.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Haligdrake Talisman +2:<\/strong> The most potent version is found in <strong>Mohgwyn Palace<\/strong>, a late-game area. Starting from the <strong>Dynasty Mausoleum Mid-Point Site of Grace<\/strong>, head outside and carefully navigate the blood-soaked grounds towards the mausoleum ahead. Be cautious of the enemies. The <strong>Haligdrake Talisman +2<\/strong> is located on a corpse within this area.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides the <strong>Haligdrake Talisman<\/strong>, while other talismans don\u2019t directly offer Holy damage negation, some talismans in other games can provide holy protection like completing The Fisherman&#8217;s requests in Pilgrim&#8217;s Passage, completing Sozo&#8217;s requests in Spore Grotto, giving Plimbo an Eye of the Witness in Smuggler&#8217;s Sanctuary, and sacrificing a follower to Midas in Midas&#8217; Cave. Also, remember that exploring dungeons, defeating bosses, and checking with merchants are always good strategies for discovering new talismans.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs_About_Holy_Talismans\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Holy Talismans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are 15 frequently asked questions to further expand your knowledge of <strong>Holy Talismans<\/strong> and related concepts in the Elden Ring:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"General_Talisman_Questions\"><\/span>General Talisman Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>What exactly <em>is<\/em> a Talisman in Elden Ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Talisman is an equippable item that provides passive benefits to your character. These can range from increased stats and resistances to enhanced weapon skills and improved item discovery. They are essential for customizing your build and overcoming challenges.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>How many Talismans can I equip at once?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You start with one Talisman slot, but you can unlock up to four slots by defeating specific bosses and progressing through the main storyline. These bosses include Margit, the Fell Omen, Godrick the Grafted, and Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Where can I find <em>other<\/em> Talismans in Elden Ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Talismans are found throughout the Lands Between in various ways. You can obtain them by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Defeating enemies and bosses<\/li>\n<li>Looting chests in dungeons and open-world areas<\/li>\n<li>Purchasing them from merchants<\/li>\n<li>Completing quests for NPCs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Are there &#8220;Legendary&#8221; Talismans in Elden Ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, there are eight <strong>Legendary Talismans<\/strong> in Elden Ring, each offering significant and unique benefits. These are often located in challenging areas and require dedication to acquire. Examples include the Radagon Icon, Radagon&#8217;s Soreseal, and Marika&#8217;s Soreseal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holy_Damage_and_Resistance_Questions\"><\/span>Holy Damage and Resistance Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>What does the Haligdrake Talisman do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Haligdrake Talisman<\/strong> increases your resistance to <strong>Holy damage<\/strong>. The base version provides a 13% negation, the +1 version offers 17%, and the +2 version provides 20%. This is invaluable when facing enemies that deal substantial Holy damage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Is there a talisman that directly <em>increases<\/em> my Holy damage output?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, the <strong>Haligdrake Talisman<\/strong> specifically increases your <strong>Holy damage<\/strong> negation. If you want to increase damage output, you&#8217;d need to rely on other stats or incantations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Which enemies deal Holy damage in Elden Ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many enemies and bosses deal <strong>Holy damage<\/strong>, including those associated with the Golden Order, such as some Erdtree Avatars, certain knights, and powerful bosses like Radagon of the Golden Order and the Elden Beast.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Besides the Haligdrake Talisman, what else can I do to increase my Holy resistance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can increase your <strong>Holy resistance<\/strong> through several means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Armor:<\/strong> Certain armor sets, like the Crucible Tree Armour, offer high Holy resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incantations:<\/strong> Some incantations provide temporary buffs to resistances, including Holy resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stats:<\/strong> Increasing your Faith stat can passively increase your resistance to Holy damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Are there any downsides to relying heavily on Holy damage in my build?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, a significant drawback is that many important bosses in Elden Ring are highly resistant to <strong>Holy damage<\/strong>. This means that relying solely on Holy damage may make certain encounters significantly more difficult.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talismans_and_Other_Game_Mechanics\"><\/span>Talismans and Other Game Mechanics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Does the Blessed Dew Talisman help against Holy damage?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, the Blessed Dew Talisman restores 2 HP every second. While it is worn, and stacks with any other healing item like Warming Stones or the Flask of Wondrous Physick, it does not inherently protect you against Holy damage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>What talisman can boost attack power the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Shard of Alexander greatly boosts the attack power of Skills. This is easily one of the best Talismans in Elden Ring, especially for Tarnished who use raw physical attacks to take down their foes. It boosts the attack power of Skills by a whopping 15%, 5% more than the inferior Warrior Jar Shard Talisman.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Which armor is considered the strongest?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ivaldi&#8217;s Deadly Mist set is arguably the best armor outside of those that are exclusive to New Game Plus mode. Once fully upgraded, it provides 85 Strength, 68 Runic, 168 Defense, and 50 vitality, along with the familiar Regenerating Essence perk that constantly heals Kratos.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>How does Faith affect my overall resistance to Holy attacks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While directly stated is Faith&#8217;s influence, high faith means greater holy power, hence why enemies of faith will likely use Holy attacks in the game.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m using a blood build. Is there any talisman related to this build?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, the only Talisman that&#8217;s directly related to this build is Lord of Blood&#8217;s Exultation, which increases your attack power when blood loss occurs nearby. This Talisman can be obtained by killing Esgar, Priest of Blood inside the Leyndell Catacombs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Are tattoos a talisman?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tattoos have been used as talismans and amulets for millennia, and their power has been universally recognised in ancient human society. The specifics varied in terms of the motifs, where they were placed on the body, and the accompanying rituals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Navigating the world of Elden Ring requires understanding its intricate systems. <strong>Talismans<\/strong> are more than just items; they are tools for survival and customization. By seeking out the <strong>Haligdrake Talisman<\/strong> and understanding how to maximize your resistances, you&#8217;ll be better prepared to face the challenges that await.
