Radagon's Soreseal is a Talisman in Elden Ring. Radagon's Soreseal raises Vigor, Endurance, Strength, and Dexterity by 5 each, but increases damage taken by 15%. Easily confused with the separate talisman: Radagon's Scarseal. Players can use talismans in Elden Ring to boost a variety of Stats.

Elden Ring Radagon's Soreseal Notes & Tips

• Sell Value: 

   3,000

• Incompatible with Radagon's Scarseal.
• Flat increases to attribute points are more impactful in the early-game. For example, a level 1 wretch would see an increase of about 26% more health and a 16% increase in maximum equip load, effectively offsetting the 15% damage taken penalty. While a character at 55 in both Vigor and Endurance (therefore reaching the upper soft caps of 60) would only see an increase of about 5% health and 7% equip load, making it not worth using a talisman slot especially since you would have better talismans that late in the game.
• To determine if a soreseal is worth using, consider not only the item's penalty, but also the opportunity cost of a talisman slot. A player who replaces their soreseal talisman with a mere Crimson Amber Medallion will not only cease to take 15% more damage, but also gain 8% more HP. Cumulatively, this brings them from 100/115% to 108/100% effective HP, which constitutes a 24.2% increase when dividing the newer fraction by the former. This is the difference between dying in four hits and five, so if a build's last 20 levels don't give a 25% increase to health, damage, or something of equal value (20% absorption lowers 125% damage to 100), it is better to remove those levels to strip the soreseal off. Typically, this makes the soreseal not worth using by level 80 to 100, where most builds should be nearing their first damage cap.
