Without a tuned build, you won’t have fun in Elden Ring for long. Even with powerful weapons and strong buffs, sudden death lurks everywhere in the intermediate lands. To arm your character against all enemies, you need the right talismans. The legendary talismans are especially useful.
In total, you can find eight legendary talismans in Elden Ring. You get them for defeating strong enemies, completing quests, or finding them in hidden chests.
