There are many Talismans to collect and use in Elden Ring, including the Longtail Cat Talisman, which negates fall damage. To find the Longtail Cat Talisman, players will need to reach Raya Lucaria Academy and access the Schoolhouse Classroom. Once there, players will need to find the Longtail Cat Talisman on the ground instead of looting it from a boss or chest.
Talismans are special items in Elden Ring that can affect a variety of gameplay features including offensive and defensive stats. Many of the available Talismans in Elden Ring are collected after defeating bosses and powerful enemies, although some can be in chests or available for purchase from one of the merchants. However, the Longtail Cat Talisman is located on the ground near a corpse, unlike a lot of the other Talismans.
Although the Longtail Cat Talisman negates fall damage, players should be aware that it will only work if the damage is non-fatal. If the impact of the fall would result in death, then the Talisman is ineffective and players will still perish. Since it can be hard to gauge whether or not a fall would be fatal, using the Longtail Cat Talisman comes with somewhat of a risk. Players that equip this Talisman should have a good idea of what falls they can survive.
The Longtail Cat Talisman's Location In Elden Ring
To find the Longtail Cat Talisman in Elden Ring, players must travel to Raya Lucaria Academy and enter the Schoolhouse Classroom. After activating the Site of Grace, players can go outside where there are large spinning gears. The closest gear has a ledge that can be ridden all the way down to the ground. Once the ledge begins to tilt, players can jump down safely without taking fall damage.
Once on the ground, there will be a Pendulum Statue to fight in Elden Ring. The Pendulum Statue has two blades for arms and rolls around charging quickly, then resting for a moment. This enemy is weak to lightning damage, and it should be fairly easy to defeat. When the Pendulum Statue is dealt with, players can head to the small elevated piece of land near some crystals. The Longtail Cat Talisman should be on the ground glowing.
For those that want a complete collection of every Talisman in Elden Ring, the Longtail Cat is essential, but its functionality is limited. Since the Longtail Cat Talisman will only protect the from non-fatal fall damage, it may not be as valuable as having another Talisman equipped. However, Talisman slots in Elden Ring can be increased, so the Longtail Cat Talisman may still be worth obtaining.
Elden Ring is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
