The Talisman slot in Elden Ring is a highly competitive field with many different options to fill. These Talismans can often make or break a build, providing upwards of 50 percent damage or damage reduction depending on your choice of jewelry.

Let’s go over 10 Elden Ring Talisman options that are consistently useful across multiple builds. They provide a base and foundation for more specific options or allow builds to exist in the first place.

There’s no early-game seal that packs quite the punch like Radagon’s Soreseal. Available almost instantly by flying into Fort Faroth, this talisman increases all physical stats by five while increasing damage taken by 15 percent. Every build values five Vigor and Endurance, and most builds don’t mind the extra damage from Strength and Dexterity.

The only problem with this Talisman is that you get too many of them, and that 15 percent damage is expensive when you already have 45-50 base Vigor, Strength, or Dexterity.
