When playing Elden Ring, the players are always facing some sort of life-death situation. Even a slight upgrade in your inventory can make a difference when fighting the deadly bosses of the game. In this regard, Talismans are the perfect items to add to your gear. Talismans are special items that grant insane boosts and buffs vital for various character builds.
For instance, you can use the Radagon Icon to reduce the spell casting time of all incantations. Similarly, you can find numerous Talismans spread across the Lands Between. However, there are only 8 Legendary Talismans in Elden Ring that can seriously give you the upper hand in all contests. This article is a guide on all Legendary Talismans and how to find them in Elden Ring.

All Legendary Talismans Locations
You can find numerous Talismans in Elden Ring, but not all of them grant you the insane buffs that you need to defeat the toughest bosses in the game. In this regard, there are 8 Legendary Talismans hidden in different locations in Elden Ring or carried by bosses. These items are much more powerful than anything else that you can find. Here are the locations in Elden Ring of all the Legendary Talismans in Elden Ring:
Radagon’s Soreseal
Radagon’s Soreseal is perhaps the most wanted Talisman in the game. It significantly boosts Dexterity, Strength, Endurance, and Vigor. However, the only side effect is that it also increases the damage taken by the player. Regardless of this trait, this Talisman is the first thing on every player’s mind these days. The reason is that everyone wants to inflict more damage, carry heavy weapons, and doesn’t plan to get hit anytime soon. In short, if you have just started playing Elden Ring, I suggest that you start looking for Radagon’s Soreseal.
Location
You can find Radagon’s Soreseal in Fort Faroth, north of Caelid. Head to the north and continue traveling till you reach Greyoll’s Dragonbarrow. Explore the area around till you come across Fort Faroth. Enter the Fort from the main entrance and go behind the wooden wall to find a ladder. Climb up the ladder all the way to the roof. You will find several holes on the roof; the goal is to drop down the last hole in the line. Another way to recognize this hole is that it is the only one with a ladder.
A blue ghost will ambush you as soon as you drop down the hole. After dealing with the ghost, continue to move forward till you reach the bat’s nest. Here, instead of dropping down the holes, turn right and jump to the ledge. Deal with the three rats and climb down the ladder that they were guarding. You will find Radagon’s Soreseal in this area.
Radagon Icon
Radagon Icon holds a special place in all magic-based players’ hearts. This unique Talisman depicts Radagon’s characteristics of insane magic. Your spell casting time is greatly reduced when you have Radagon Icon in the inventory. In other words, you will be able to cast a second spell while the enemy is dealing with the first one. Moreover, unlike Radagon’s Soreseal, this Talisman doesn’t come with any side effects on your other abilities. So, this Talisman is a must-have for all magical character builds prior to dealing with Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon.
Location
Start at the Raya Lucaria Academy and defeat the Red Wolf of Radagon. After defeating the wolf boss, a new Site of Grace named the Debate Parlor will be revealed. The Talisman is located on the upper level of the Debate Parlor, but there are no direct stairs to it. Instead, head outside the room, turn right, and continue running till you reach the courtyard. Look for the stone fencing and jump on the ledge on the other side. Move on the ledge and climb up the ladder to reach the upper ledge. From there, follow the path and jump through the window to reach the upper level of the Debate Parlor. Turn right and continue till you find a treasure chest; search it to get Radagon Icon.
Old Lord’s Talisman
The Old Lord’s Talisman is another treat offered by FromSoftware Inc to all magic-based character builds. This Talisman extends the effective duration of all magic spells and incantations. For instance, if the fire spell lasted for half a second, it would continue to inflict damage for a whole second. The same is possible for all other spells and incantations with this Talisman in your hand. So, if you solely rely on magic in your gameplay, I suggest that you get the Old Lord’s Talisman as soon as possible to enjoy the ultimate power of magic.
Location
This legendary Talisman is located in the Crumbling Farum Azula. It is a special area that you can access from the forge of the Mountaintop of the Giants. Once you reach Crumbling Farum Azula, look for the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace. Rest at the Site to save your progress, and head west till you find a staircase. Go up the stairs and turn left to avoid facing the Draconic Tree Sentinel for now. Continue straight along the path, down the stairs, and climb up the ladder on the right.
You will find a few Beastmen of Farum Azula guarding a treasure chest. Either deal with them and get the Old Lord’s Talisman from the chest or get it prior to defeating the enemies. After getting the Talisman, be careful on your way back as there is a chance of being invaded by Recusant Berhnahl on the road.
Moon of Nokstella
The Moon of Nokstella is yet another Talisman suitable for magic-based character builds. It increases the player’s memory slots by +2 to add their favorite spells and incantations. Having this Talisman means you will always be prepared to counter every spell the enemy sends your way. Moreover, you can also combine it with Radagon Talismans to further boost your magical powers. In short, if you plan to become the greatest wizard in the history of the Lands Between, this Talisman is a must-have for your goal.
Location
Unlike other Talismans, the Moon of Nokstella is located in underground areas. While completing Ranni’s questline, you can find it near Nokstella, Eternal City. Follow the quests till you reach the top of Renna’s rise and are teleported to Nokstella, Eternal City. From the Site of Grace, head west and continue up the stairs, sometimes through buildings, to reach a cathedral. You will find two Mimic Tears and one enemy in the Giant throne room. The tears will also transform into enemies, kill them all and go to the end of the hall. Here you will find a treasure chest under the throne; search it to get the Moon of Nokstella.
Marika’s Soreseal
If you are looking for a way to quickly boost your Intelligence and other magical traits, Marika’s Soreseal is the answer to your questions. This special Talisman is similar to Radagon’s Soreseal but has a different effect. For instance, Radagon’s Soreseal is useful for brute force strength builds, and Marika’s Soreseal is vital for magical builds. This Talisman boosts the player’s Arcane, Faith, and Intelligence. However, it comes with the same side effect as Radagon and increases the damage taken by the player by 15%. So, if frequently getting hit isn’t a major problem for you, this Talisman can allow you to cast powerful spells without investing the skill points.
Location
Marika’s Soreseal can be found behind a sealed door in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree. If you don’t know how to get to this location, get both halves of the Haligtree Special Medallion, and ride the Grand Lift of Rold at the Mountaintop of the Giants. From there, travel to Liturgical Town and solve the puzzles near Ordina to open up a special portal.
This portal will teleport you to Haligtree. Head to the Prayer Room Site of Grace and exit through the door in the east. Continue along the path till you come across a ladder; climb down the ladder and head southeast till you reach an Imp statue. There you will find a sealed door that requires Stonesword keys to unlock. Enter through the door and search the treasure chest inside to find Marika’s Soreseal.
Godfrey Icon
Godfrey Icon is a gift for all charged attacks in Elden Ring. Some attacks, skills, and incantations can be charged to increase their effectiveness. With this Talisman in your possession, the charged attacks will become even more powerful, making it rain stars on your enemies. Moreover, this Talisman also enhances the power of some Ashes of War, like the Mighty Shot. In other words, if you are looking for a way to boost your already powerful attacks, start preparing for Godfrey as soon as possible.
Location
The only way to obtain Godfrey Icon is to defeat the Godfrey boss who wields it. You can find the boss at the Mountaintop of the Giants right after you ride the Grand Lift of Dectus. From the lift, head towards the back of the elevator and look for a series of platforms. Carefully jump down the platforms till you reach the Golden Lineage Evergoal. Here you will find a sealed doorway that requires a stonesword key to unlock it. Go inside the door to find a new version of Godrick, named Godfrey the Grafted. Defeat the boss and search his corpse to get Godfrey Icon as a reward.
Erdtree’s Favor +2
Erdtree’s Favor +2 only becomes available after the players have significantly progressed in the main storyline. The most obvious indicator of its availability is when t Leyndell, Royal Capital becomes the Ashen Capital. The Erdtree’s Favor +2 is a special Talisman vital for all strength and melee-based character builds. It boosts your stamina, Maximum HP, and weight carrying capacity. So, you can carry as many armaments as you wish without worrying about the overweight buff. Moreover, this Talisman will also increase your chances of fighting against some of the hardest bosses in Elden Ring.
Location
The Erdtree’s Favor +2 Legendary Talisman is located in the Ulcerated Tree Spirits. However, this area only becomes available in the endgame when the Royal Capital becomes the Ashen Capital. To get the Talisman, start at the Altus Plateau and head towards the Forbidden Lands Site of Grace. Head west from the Site of Grace towards the Capital and ride the elevator. After the lift stops, continue along the bridge in the Capital’s outskirts till you reach a second elevator. Ride the lift down and move further down when the lift stops. You will eventually reach the Ulcerated Tree Spirits; search the area a bit to find the Erdtree’s Favor +2 Talisman on a corpse on the ground.
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
Dragons are well-known for their enormous damage negation abilities in Elden Ring. The Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman adds the same buffs to your character. When you have this item in your inventory, your physical damage negation is increased to the point of invincibility. Some players even call it the God Mode Talisman in Elden Ring. So, defeating even the hardest bosses in the game won’t be a problem for you. In short, if you aim to complete Elden Ring with minimum deaths, I suggest that you get the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.
Location
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman can be found in Miquella’s Haligtree. However, the area only becomes available when you progress at least halfway through the main storyline. Travel to the Drainage Channel Site of Grace near Miquella’s Haligtree and head outside. Turn left to find a path into the branches and continue along the path till you come across a drop. Look to your right and drop down the path that leads further downwards along the branches.
Continue on the path till you see a tree branch connecting with the church on the left. Go towards the roof of the church and drop down from the hole on your right and onto the beams. Turn left to find four enemies on the balcony and a treasure chest. Deal with the enemies and search the treasure chest to find the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.
FAQs

The Legendary Talisman achievement is a special trophy only unlocked by a handful of players till now. You must collect all eight Legendary Talismans in Elden Ring to unlock this achievement.

What is the best Legendary Talisman in Elden Ring?
All eight Legendary Talismans are worth getting in Elden Ring. In my opinion, the Dragoncrest Greatshield, Erdtree’s Favor +2, and Radagon’s Soreseal are must-have Talismans for all the strength-based character builds. Similarly, Marika’s Soreseal, Old Lord’s Talisman, and Radagon Icon are the best Talisman for magic-based character builds.
How to equip multiple Talismans at the same time?
The number of Talisman that you can equip depends on the Talisman pouches or the slots you have. Initially, you can only equip one Talisman, but the slots increase as you progress in the storyline.

After visiting these characters, you will have four slots for equipping various Talismans simultaneously.
