Elden Ring: How To Get More Talisman Slots

Quick Links

You can choose from over 80 Talismans in Elden Ring; however, at some point, you might need more slots if you want to equip multiple of them. Initially, you can only equip one Talisman; however, you can increase the number of slots as you progress through the game. Finding Talisman pouches can be extremely challenging, even though you can get Talismans for doing just about anything. However, you will have to go through an arduous journey to use multiple Talismans and give your character more buffs.

You can increase the number of slots by finding Talisman Pouches. Two can be acquired by defeating Elden Ring's non-optional bosses, but one of the Talisman Pouches can easily be missed since it requires players to speak to an NPC, who will disappear if players progress too far into the game. Players will want to plan accordingly and ensure they cannot miss it before they hop into the endgame.

Extra Talisman Slot #1

Defeating Margit The Fell Omen

Margit the Fell Omen from the Elden Ring video game.

The first Talisman Pouch that unlocks an additional slot can be acquired by beating Margit, the Fell Omen. She can be encountered in Stormhill as they make their way to Stormveil Castle. Margit will be your first major challenge, as she can be quite challenging to beat.

However, if you summon Sorcerer Rogier just before the fog gate, you will have a better chance of defeating her. Additionally, you can acquire the Lone Wolf Ashes, which are quite powerful at this stage of the game, and buy Margit's Shackle from Patches, as it will ground Margit and allow you to get a few hits for free.

Want to find out how to get Margit's Shackle and another talisman slot in Elden Ring fast? Check out the video from SwoleBenji on YouTube below:

Defeating Margit will unlock this first extra talisman slot, giving you an advantage as you continue into Stormveil Castle. Godrick the Grafted can be a tough fight, but with some extra help from your new talisman slot and a little patience, it should not take long before you have defeated him as well.

Extra Talisman Slot #2

Finding Finger Reader Enia

The Elden Ring character Finger Reader Enia, a withered crone holding a staff.

The third Talisman slot can be one of the easiest to miss as it requires talking to an NPC. However, if you beat Godfrey, the NPC will disappear, and you won't get a chance to get the Talisman Pouch later on. To avoid missing out on this Talisman Pouch, after beating Godrik the Grafted, choose one of the following bosses to beat instead of Godfrey:

One of these bosses must be defeated because you will need one additional Great Rune in addition to Godrick's. Once two have been acquired, travel to the Roundtable Hold and head right up the stairs to find Finger Reader Enia in the corner of the room. Speak to her at this point to receive the second Talisman Pouch and increase the number of slots to three.

Extra Talisman Slot #3

Defeating Godfrey The First Elden Lord

The final way to get more talisman slots in Elden Ring is obtained near the end of the game after you beat Godfrey, the First Elden Lord. Much like Margit, this boss will severely test your skills and require you to be adequately prepared and leveled up. Players will encounter this boss in Leyndell, the Capital of Ash, after completing "Crumbling Farum Azula."

After defeating Godfrey, you will acquire the final Talisman Pouch, raising the total number of talismans that can be equipped in Elden Ring to four. This will give you an edge as you complete the game, allowing you to customize your fighting style even more. The ability to change them out can help you adjust to various bosses as well for players who truly desire flexibility.

Every Talisman & What They Do

Options For Flexible and Customized Gameplay

There are over 100 Talismans in Elden Ring (counting the enhanced +1 and +2 versions), but even with all the upgrades above, players can only use a max of four at one time. Below is a list of every single Talisman, Charm, and Medallion player can find in the Lands Between (via PushSquare), along with a description of what they do. Players interested in locating these talismans can click any linked titles for more detailed information.

Limgrave Talismans

Limgrave will be one of the first regions you visit and, therefore, one of the first places you can find Talismans to start filling your pouches. There are 22 unique talismans to be found here, beyond the normal Sacrifical Twig Talismans that are found scattered throughout The Lands Between.

Sacrificial Twigs are consumable talismans that, once equipped, will be lost instead of your runes upon death. They can be found in most regions, sometimes in groups of 3 at a time.
