Talismans are accessories in the Elden Ring that can help improve various stats. The Ritual Sword Talisman does this by increasing your attack power by 10 percent. Shaped after a ritual sword, this talisman was used in the age of Radagon to honor the combatants of the arena.
This Talisman is very useful for Glass Canon builds that rely on nuking enemies before they can hit you at full health. The following guide will show you the location of Ritual Sword Talisman in Elden Ring and how to effectively use it.
Ritual Sword Talisman Location
The Ritual Sword Talisman can be found in the Lux Ruins located southeast of the Altus Plateau. Erdtree Gazing Hill Site of Grace is your closest point of interest to reach Lux Ruins. The location has been marked on the map for your convenience.
The forest around the ruins is patrolled by demi-humans and hence the players approaching the area are advised to be cautious. After entering this two-room mini-dungeon, the players will encounter the only demi-human boss in there which is guarding the locked door behind which lies the Talisman.
Players will fight against Gilika, who is fairly easy to deal with. A few slashes from a good weapon would be enough to kill her.
Get past the boss, and you’ll find the Talisman in a chest within a small locked room that can be opened after killing the boss.
Ritual Sword Talisman Uses
Maintaining a full health bar will enable the Ritual Sword Talisman to increase your attack power. The increase is applied to all stats at once and every stat will be 10% more effective in the duration of activation.
The Talisman is of great use for players using one-shot abilities like Bloodboon Ritual or Comet Azur. Ritual Sword Talisman, when combined with Blessed Dew Talisman, can recover 2HP per second and helps maintain the maximum HP. The same can be combined with Ritual Shield Talisman which helps increase the defense while maintaining the increased attack at the maximum HP.
