Elden Ring talisman locations guide

Looking for the Elden Ring talisman locations? Talismans are to Elden Ring, what rings were to Dark Souls, granting you a variety of boons and effects. A lot of these new rings actually have exactly the same effect as many of the regular rings in Dark Souls, except these talismans have also taken a leaf out of Bloodborne's book: they boost specific attack types to complement your playstyle.

You'll start with a single talisman slot, but after you defeat various bosses, you'll be able to wear more of them and equip multiple of the same types of talisman to stack various damage buffs. Here are the talisman locations and how to get more talisman slots in Elden Ring.
