Talismans are as varied as character builds in Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Their effects range from basic stat boosts to powerful attack bonuses. Each Talisman works best with a different character build and adds to the wonderful customization available within the game. Shadow of the Erdtree introduces 39 new Talismans to try out.

If you want the best selection of Talismans possible or want to use as many new Talismans as work with your build, make sure you journey to the Land of Shadow with all of your Talisman slots unlocked. You can have up to four Talismans equipped if you've found all four Talisman Pouches. By combining DLC Talismans with base game Talismans, you'll have a stronger build than ever before.

A map of Gravesite Plains in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Gravesite Plains includes some important areas in the main story of Shadow of the Erdtree, such as Belurat, Tower Settlement. There are twelve Talismans in Gravesite Plains, with many split between Belurat, Castle Ensis, and the plains themselves. If you take your time exploring each of the areas, you should find most of the Talismans without much difficulty.

If you want to collect every new Talisman in Shadow of the Erdtree, you'll need to give the Remembrance of the Dancing Lion to Enia, work with St. Trina and Thiollier, and fight Hornset alongside Leda.

Scadu Altus is a rich area full of great loot and fascinating locales. Just like the region houses the most Scadutree Fragments in Elden Ring, it also has the most new Talismans. Many of them can be found near or around Shadow Keep, with many more in the wider, open areas south of Shadow Keep. With 16 new Talismans in total, this region is sure to keep you exploring for the perfect perks.

While Southern Shores is a fun area to explore, it is light on Talismans, with only three found scattered across the area. Once you reach Abyssal Woods in Elden Ring, there are even fewer, as you can only find one Talisman within the hidden region itself. Still, if you find yourself using sleep and madness often in your current build, you'll at least want to stop and collect St. Trina's Smile or Aged One's Exultation.

The six Talismans found around the Ancient Ruins of Rauh can be a great bonus for certain builds. For example, if you want a warrior build in Elden Ring, the Two-Handed Sword Talisman can be a great Talisman to equip.

Meanwhile, if you love summoning Spirit Ashes and want more FP, stop by the Scorpion River Catacombs and grab the Cerulean Amber Medallion +3. With all these new Talismans, your Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree builds will be better than ever before.
