Talismans in Elden Ring are accessories that bestow a variety of special effects. They're dropped by Enemies or Bosses, looted from chests, pilfered from corpses, or purchased from Merchants.
Talismans cannot be upgraded; however, more powerful versions of some talismans are obtainable. They're often recognizable by their bolster text (e.g. Talisman Name +1), with exceptions such as the Great-Jar's Arsenal (a direct upgrade to the Arsenal Charm).
Talismans are allowed in Player Trade. Base number: 115 New number: 39 Total: 154
