All 39 DLC Talismans Ranked! (NO SPOILERS) Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

[@youwy]

I MISSED NUMBER 32. Cerulean Seed +1 (+30% flask heal). +12 flask heals a 38 mind character from 0 to max. You'll only benefit off using it at around 45-50 mind so it's pretty niche. Also now that I'm looking at it. Relanna's Cameo and bow talismans should be higher. It's hard to rank these as they all have a use

The thing about the blessed blue talisman is that it is perfect for exploring/dungeons. Being able to always apply bestial vitality and use my weapon AOW without sacrificing any healing flasks is perfect. Must run talisman for exploring imo

[@jajasking9652]

I feel like is not that worth using anyways, with Dungeon exploration, i feel like just using sacrificial axe for 3 FP per enemy killed is enought, not bad, but i rather have that weapon off hand and use that talisman slot for something else

[@MagicChef.]

@@jajasking9652 its more of for the QOL, its nice to not have to think about mana management when exploring. Plus when you use things like Radahns Rain which is like 30+ FP, that would require killing at least 10 enemies to get that back. Sacrificial axe is very valid but just not my preferred option, plus you can always unequip the talisman when your FP regenerates and put on whatever you want until you need it again.

Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

[@Sarmathal]

Blessed Blue Talisman isn't very good for bosses but it's very good for general exploration, you essentially have infinite FP while exploring and can constantly cast HP regen spells.

[@gunnarschlichting9886]

Agreed 100%. Combine it with Bestial Vitality and going through Legacy Dungeons is much more forgiving when it comes to your flask use. As long as you don't actually die, you should be able to go through most if not all of it without having to rest, which is super nice.

Tip for blade of mercy: a two-handed colossal hammer with cragblade and deflect tear can deal 60+ stance damage on guard counters following successful deflects, which means you can stance break bosses with 120 stance with just two guard counters. This includes the DLC final boss. Lets you keep blade of mercy buff for basically entirety of the fight.

[@zisenye3419]

Even better, it will boost your damage after the first hit of the critical attack if you are using a colossal weapons (not sure if colossal sword is included). This means your second hit will get a 20% damage boost. So, you basically get a free Dagger Talisman. Obviously a bug tho.

Also found out that Bloodfiend's Arm and Devonia's Hammer seem to both have hidden 10% stance damage boost for guard counters, even without any buffs active. Giant-Crusher and Prelate's Inferno Hammer deal 45 stance damage on two-handed guard counter, while Bloodfiend and Devonia deal 49.5. I used a tool on PC to check the precise stance damage.

Something you missed, the Shattered Stone Talisman actually boosts any attack that looks like a kick, not just skills. And given the martial arts jumping heavy attack is two kicks, you can add it to a jump attack build for some pretty nutty results.

[@unknownentityenthusiast6765]

Shattered stone + Divine Bird Greaves + Gravebird’s Black Feathers + Claw Talisman + Milicent Prosthesis + Winged Sword You can get some truly comedic buffs for spamming jump heavies with dryleaf arts

[@Dainurian]

You already rated it very highly, but I think the Crimson Seed +1 is just so good it could contend for the top spot. The important metric for survivability is how many hits you can take before dying, and the Crimson Seed makes a big difference when you're trying to squeeze in a heal during a boss fight. The bonus healing is significant enough to push you over breakpoints to survive one more hit or use one fewer flask to survive the same number of hits in a lot of scenarios, especially when combined with damage reduction Talismans like the staple Dragoncrest Greatshield. Only needing to chug one flask vs 2 can be the difference between getting to heal safely vs getting caught in the loop of healing and immediately getting hit in the long recovery time, and while it isn't useful for the god gamers who never get hit, it's a godsend for the rest of us mere mortals.

For the first talisman, the Ailment Talisman, you can actually remove the talisman after proccing the effect and it'll stay even with it unequipped. Also the duration is different for each status, poison/scarlet rot being the longest i think 1-2 minutes, then bleed/frostbite being slightly less than 1 minute, and sleep/madness being 30 seconds. You can also equip it while you are poisoned, get the effect, then instantly unequip it to get all the benefit, and maybe even swap to another resistance talisman and have a possible 500+ resistance to 1 status.

I know the smithscript stuff isnt mindblowing damage, but the smitscript daggers actually do really well on sacred or flame art infusions as they have the same quirk as the erdsteel dagger where their phys damage will also scale off of faith, combine that with scattershot and the 2 multi hit talismans and you can get some good consistent damage at a safe range.

[@garchamayne4254]

Smithing talisman too for 10% extra damage on throwing attacks (literally all of them so it's just a flat boost). You can also pair with the claw talisman and use only jumping attacks for another 15% on top of that, or shard of Alex for scattershot spam. Godskin Swaddling Cloth is great for sustain too. I think they're quite underrated tbh. Go great on arcane builds too for ranged status buildup

After a quick look at the wiki, according to comments you can proc Dried Bouquet multiple times with skeletal spirit summons. They will give you the damage boost when they fall rather than when they are fully finished off. Skeletal militiamen are already a sleeper good summon for their ability to give you guaranteed points of respite throughout an entire fight (rather than just at the start), so this talisman probably could be ranked even higher.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

The rats are another good pick. You get a lot of them, they're individually surprisingly tanky, so they're likely to die over the course of a fight, and most importantly, they don't cost any FP, so they are super easy to fit into any other buff cycles, and have no impact on your FP requirements, flasks, ect. Also, they have a bug that works in their favor in this case. They, along with the Putrid Corpses and Squirts, don't spawn next to you, they spawn at the summon post for some reason. The rats are even more likely to last throughout a fight, because they usually tend to not just all immediately rush the boss, they trickle in one or two at a time, unless the fight goes directly there.

The fp regen talisman is pretty solid when just exploring or dungeon crawling, where you might throw out a few spells then don’t cast for a bit, that regen during no combat saves you a flask in the long term

[@Ventus_S]

FP regen talisman is very underrated. It is the single most useful talisman in legacy dungeons/ optional dungeons since you can basically have infinite source of heal if you have some faith investment. Let's be real, most people entering dlc going to have 25 faith for the most op buff in the game Golden Vow, and 25 faith + heal from a far net you 600~ hp for 45 fp cost. It means you basically heal back 600 hp every 90 seconds. It is far more efficient than the useless hp regen talisman which takes 300 seconds for the same amount of hp regain. Be it you're caster or not this it's one of the most useful talisman in any legacy dungeon. In fact it benefit none caster / low mind characters even more.

[@mattg6106]

I find the Arrow Soaring Sting Talisman very funny because it's required to make the Throwing knives anywhere close to good. Combining it with Arrow Sting, Smith Talisman, and Shard of Alexander sees the knives actually do reasonable damage with the Weapon art at point blank. They're garbage most of the time. On my Dex Faith Build sitting at 22 str/60 dex/11 int/27 fai they hit around 221-250 on light attacks, but anywhere from 800-1400 on the scattershot throw weapon art (varies depending on what damage boxes the knives connect with) at point blank range. Allegedly the Arrow Sting and Soaring Sting work on the Ash of War, but I will need to do more testing. If they don't work on Scattershot (if anyone else can confirm) then it'll free up a couple talisman slots lol. Can also confirm that the Smith Talisman does NOT include the thrown Lightning projectile on the Bolt of Gransax.

Just found some of your videos. Great, fast information and more importantly, everything is timestamped. Awesome work!

[@silenceyang6980]

25% dmg taken seems bad until you use it in the DLC. If you already have an innate 60% damage resistance, atleast in my experience, with the talisman on, it doesn't subtract 25 off of 60, which would give you 35% resistance. It scales multiplicativly, which means that NO, it does not reduce your resistance that much. For me, when I put it on with about 58% damage resistance, It only drops it back to 46%. Very valid if you don't want to put 30 levels into dex just to spell cast. If you are a strength/faith or strength/int and have no dexterity, it is incredibly useful. Plus, in the DLC, no matter your resistance, you are one or two hit anyways

[@lowfade556]

not true, tanking is very viable in the DLC

[@spongbobsquarepants3922]

Squeezing out every bit of defense is even more important in the DLC, because enemies deal insane damage. That means you reduce larger numbers of damage

[@MyNameIsSalo]

25% is still 25%. If a boss would do 100dmg to you after all mitigation, with that talisman it would do 125 instead. Whether that's 58% changing to 46% doesn't matter, a 25% boost is still a 25% boost. You can justify it as "oh its not that bad its only a few % different on my character stat sheet", but 25% is large enough to make bosses 2 shot you instead of being able to tank the 2nd hit. With decent mitigation (you can get 80%) you can reasonably tank 4-5 hits. So going from surviving a 5 hit combo, to dying to 2 hits, is a massive difference when most bosses have 5 hit combos.

[@mingQWERTY]

Nope. At scadutree level 11 with boiled crab, bosses like Divine Beast Dancing Lion and Rellana needs more than 5 hits to kill me which is typical for a Soulsborne boss. Your scadutree level aka your damage negation/resistance makes a huge difference. If you're still somehow getting 1 or 2 hit from an enemy or boss then you're doing something wrong.

7:21, this can be used with the backhand blades as you continue running with their specific running attacks.

[@mountaindewitt]

Fine Feather will be basically mandatory for no-hit runners in certain fights. I foresee the All Crucibles one will also see use.

[@gregoryjames3287]

I have been loving Rellana's cameo with the wing stance. I like to slowly walk at the enemies like a basa**, and by that time, it charges lol

[@prinnydadnope5768]

The dried bouquet is even better than expected: there is a respawning summon (like Tibia Marinner summons), and it does proc the buff each time they fall on the ground. They can be killed for good, but it's not that often and they can proc you the buff for a long time repeatedly

[@iron_blyat6815]

This video right here is what got me into being a metalhead! Thank you!

[@yeehawtaw2134]

Something to mention about the blade of mercy is that it can actually trigger within the critical animation and increase the damage of the crit itself. Many of the critical animations have two hits, the first doing lower damage and the second doing the brunt of the damage. The talisman triggers on the first hit, meaning the main hit of the riposte will have increased damage.

[@viggstable305]

in terms if usefulness is have to say that #1 is crimson seed +1 and 2 handed… i have found myself constantly swapping talismans out not knowing what really is ideal for my build but the new hp flask boost is always a must

[@knile2727]

Nice work man. You’re a saint for all your videos

[@abyss6722]

I have heard that the ailment talisman duration is based on which status effect you are hit with. The poison resist effect lasts much longer than 30 seconds, and the amount of resist stat it gives you is much higher than the individual resist talismans.

[@joshuagunthner1838]

first thing I tried when I found the talisman. I was annoyed at the nerf, this made it better.

[@Cam_Ske]

I want to say thank you for this info without spoiling the DLC.

[@Petelguesse-Romanée-Conti-DESU]

That Backstep talisman lets you dodge lingering hit boxes so if you have enough stamina spamming backsteps is just immortality

[@emmanuelvergelin6771]

Rellana's Cameo is actually pretty good, using it alongside Millicent's prosthesis, and Alexander's shard makes a good combination if using milady

[@eggmug562]

Also the smithscript cirque's throwing attacks are very reliable and great to inflict status from midrange.

[@kusahime]

i found the Talisman of Lord's Bestowal useful for when I was first learning the fights, the poise buff lasts for a long enough that it helps with squishy caster builds.

[@cristianasoltanei7848]

As I'm very high level (590) and I prefer versatility over being specialised in one area, none of the dlc talismans outweighed the value of the base game ones like Shard of Alexander, Godfrey Icon or Dragoncrest which is unfortunate

[@0ceanking]

I haven't tried the combo together myself yet but st trina's smile might be better than initially thought here if combined with lulling branches, a craftable item that recharges FP and inflicts sleep buildup on you. With my build it takes 2 to inflict sleep but I have like 40 mind; a more regular build might be able to proc it in one lulling branch. It may not be as quick to self-proc as madness but at least solves the issue of needing to proc it on enemies to benefit, and has the added bonus of regening your FP quite quickly, which I'm sure will be great for spamming spells or AoW with this setup!

[@jordanbrad2298]

The running attack talisman can be kinda cool with heavy thrusting sword running R2s. Leda's chestplate also buffs those along with dodge attacks and backstep attacks.

[@NothinbutRye]

Soldjars of fortune with the dried bouquet? Sounds fun!

[@AITAH_Stories564]

Goated Rankings 🔥👽

[@NomoregoodnamesD8]

Quirk with Blade of Mercy: The Talisman gives you the AR boost after the final hit of a weapon's usual critical hit, but if a weapon has a special aux effect (e.g. Bloodfiend's Arm), then the talisman will count to two hits, and it will count the mogblood aux effect as a critical hit. This means that the second hit of a stance break riposte with this talisman could be boosted by the effect without it already ticking.

[@adudecalledtony3731]

Enjoy the day off youwy thank you for doing all this for us!

[@TheSylveonSurfer]

Viable option for the Dried Bouquet is to use Soldjars of Fortune. It was the first thing that came to midlnd when I picked it up. Summon them, they run and blow up on boss basically acting as a glorified spell, and then you get the buff.

[@otherguy___4293]

The Flamedrake Shield +3 is the anti-Messmer talisman. For anyone having a hard time with him, I’d highly recommend that one. Most of his hardest to avoid attacks involve the fire. Just wear it with armor with great pierce negation.

[@meatonthetable1602]

Defeated commander in new dlc ...went through every spirit ash constantaly dying untill found the 5 shield guys and that worked great! easy kill and didnt even use the talisman that boost my damage everytime one dies...Thank great video

[@kieks7030]

the charm that boosts running attacks might actually be very good for certain builds. i’m using the godskin peeler and the running attack hits like 5 times making it deal a lot of bleed and activate the multi hit talismans very fast so another +15% damage is pretty good

[@chaincat33]

Crimson Amber Medallion +3 honestly was pretty good for me. I did the dlc before burning the erdtree, so I didn't have access to Shard of Alexander or Erdtree Favor +2 and honestly, the raw amount of damage it helps you take is incredible. +18 scadutree blessing against the final boss I was still getting shredded through the dragon shield talisman. That extra bit of health was what was between me winning and losing. Literally, I only had like 22 hp left at the end

[@thelordofcow5639]

I believe the skill damage boost from Alexander's talisman deals the same bonus damage as rellana's cameo, meaning there is literally no reason to use it unless you are using both. Alexander's also doesn't force you to stand there like an idiot for a few seconds and works on every skill instead of like 10.

[@CloudLicht]

My favorite talismans gotta be the blue dew talisman. Passively regening fp is amazing outside of boss fights and the storm talisman is great for the psuedo-secret wind magic

[@kiwi-ut5os]

ive been using green turtle talisman for like a year and a half, love that we got an upgrade!!!

[@darthplagueis13]

The firedrake abd pearldrake talismans are my go-to for furnace golems. Because like, most of your typical combat oriented talisman buffs don't work on them anyways and while their attacks are easy to dodge on paper, you pretty much always end up getting clipped by something, i.e. a stomp from a leg you couldn't see that very moment (you can usually time the jump using audio clues, but some of the stomp combos seem to have silent stomps) or because you tried to run out of the range of the jump explosion and got caught on an obstacle... When that happens, it's useful if the hit doesn't deal more damage than a single use of a flask can heal.

[@dragon_defeyes]

pearl shield talisman segment hit hard for the first couple of seconds

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

16:12 #13 Crusade Insignia: It's 20% more dmg for 15 secs NOT 20 secs and you can kill anything (not just enemies) and get the buff. I setup NPC Lugor (aka Wolverine) and killed a deer right before engaging him which proc'd the buff. Been using this combo quite regularly as most wild life dies w/ a single hit. You can even range attack w/ a Kukri to buff right before engaging a Crucible Knight.

[@AlexHyena1]

Giant Rats ashes I could see working with the Dried Bouquet amazingly. also the Sol-jars of Fortune because their whole putpose is dying, and if it stacks with the buff from Stormhawk Deenh that’s an insane burst of damage

[@evanwhite5704]

i used damage negation talismans for the final boss and it was so helpful. literally worth so much more than any damage talismans for my purposes
