We will show you in detail how to obtain the talismans and describe the way step by step so you don’t miss any of the pieces.
Radagon’s Icon
What can the talisman do? This talisman shortens your spell casting time. This means you can cast your spells faster and are not forced to stay long in the preparation animation.
Where can I find this talisman? You need to go to the Site of Grace “Debate Forum”, which is located in the Raya Lucaria Academy. Once there, head directly outside to the academy’s courtyard. Once you pass the iron gate, orient your compass southeast.
From there, jump over the stone railing and move directly to the ladder ahead. Follow the path until you reach the broken window. Jump over it and keep to the right. You should encounter a chest containing the talisman.
Radagon’s Scar Seal
What can the talisman do? This talisman significantly increases your attributes such as Strength, Endurance, and Dexterity, but you will take more damage. The attributes receive a bonus of five points.
Where can I find this talisman? The talisman is located in the Faroth Fortress in Caelid. Travel to the eponymous Site of Grace and storm the fortress. The talisman is hidden in the wooden scaffolding on a corpse.
You need to take the ladder that is in the fortress to reach the fortress and then make your way through the bats. The amulet is guarded by two rats.
Godfrey’s Icon
What can the talisman do? This talisman enhances charged spells and skills. This applies to all spells and skills that can be charged during their animation.
Where can I find this talisman? To obtain this talisman, you need to travel from the Site of Grace “Atlus Plateau” to the Golden Tree’s Seal Prison.
We have marked on the map where you need to travel with your horse. Defeat the prisoner there and receive this talisman as a reward.
Moon of Nokstella
What can the talisman do? This amulet increases your number of memory slots by two.
Where can I find this talisman? The Moon of Nokstella can be found in a chest in the grand cathedral of Nokstella. To gain access to this area of the map, you need to complete part of Ranni’s quest.
Then go to the Site of Grace “Nokstella, the Eternal City” and follow the path we marked on the map. The last church contains the chest with the talisman.
Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman
What can the talisman do? It significantly increases your resistance to physical damage. This allows you to withstand more hits.
Where can I find this talisman? This talisman is located in the hidden area of the Haligtree. Go to the Site of Grace “Sewage Canal”. Once there, balance over the large roots of the tree until you reach the roof of a cathedral.
Choose a hole in the broken roof and let yourself fall onto the wooden beams. From there, head west to find a chest among the infected insect creatures. Inside is the talisman.
Marika’s Scar Seal
What can the talisman do? This talisman significantly increases your attributes of Mind, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane, but also your damage taken. The attributes receive a bonus of five points.
Where can I find this talisman? You can find the talisman at the Haligtree, the optional area in the north of the Lands Between. Head to the Site of Grace “Prayer Room”. From there, take the next door outside and follow the round city wall until the railing ends and you stand before a stone bowl.
There, use the transition and let yourself fall onto the lower edge of the tower. Go around the tower. You should look towards the sea. Make the jump to the next city wall, ignore the foul offspring of the Erdtree, and run south.
When you reach the end of the wall, jump west onto the roof of a small building. Jump down further until you reach a fog door that you can open with a stone sword key. Before you is the amulet.
Beware: A stronger enemy spawns at the door, which can make your life difficult. Be prepared.
Talisman of the Old Lord
What can the talisman do? It extends the duration of spell effects.
Where can I find this talisman? The talisman is located in the ruined city “Farum Azula”. Start at the Site of Grace “At the Great Bridge”. From there, go up the stairs to the ascent. However, head north in the opposite direction of the boss fight with Malekith.
Then follow the path further through an open corridor, down the stairs, and back outside. Once there, turn south and take the ladder downwards. Then enter the tower in front of you and grab the talisman.
Earth Tree’s Favor +2
What can the talisman do? It significantly increases your maximum HP, stamina, and equipment load.
Where can I find this talisman? You only receive this talisman after defeating Maliketh, the Black Blade. Afterwards, Leyndell, the Royal Capital will be engulfed in ash and drastically change. You need to go to the Site of Grace “Forbidden Lands” and then follow the path back to the capital.
Once you reach the location where the monsters were, take the staircase down that heads north. The once vast lake is now full of ash and giant Elden worms. Run past them until you reach a tree trunk. On this, you will find the talisman.
For simplification, we have embedded a YouTube video to show you the exact location:
Once you have collected all the talismans, you will receive the trophy “Legendary Talismans”. However, it may happen that this achievement does not pop up.
In this case, you can go to a safe location, drop all legendary talismans, and then collect them one by one. Sometimes Elden Ring does not register the collected items, so they must be picked up again.
