Talismans are the little bits of jewelry you can equip for big buffs in Elden Ring. Certain talismans are critical for builds, and they can really make all the difference in a tense fight. Some of the best are the legendary talismans — the rarest of the rare that’ll score you an achievement / trophy if you find them all. There are only eight of these in the entire game, and we’re going to show you exactly where to find each one with the full guide below with map pictures and descriptions.
