You start your Elden Ring journey with only a single Talisman Slot which you can later increase by finding a Talisman Pouch.
Talismans are incredibly powerful accessories to equip only our character. Increasing your Talisman Slots as soon as possible will allow you to make use of additional buffs or abilities in the game.
Each time you find and collect a Talisman Pouch, it will automatically increase the number of Talismans you can equip by 1. Here we will be showing you the method to obtaining the Talisman Pouch key items in Elden Ring.
Where to find Talisman Pouches in Elden Ring
There are 3 Talisman Pouches that can currently be obtained in Elden Ring. Their locations have been mentioned below.
Talisman Pouch #1
The first Talisman Pouch can be obtained by defeating Margit, the Fell Omen boss. This boss is located in Stormhill, a bit southeast of Stormveil Castle.
Simply follow the exact location marked on the Elden Ring map above to find the location of the Fell Omen boss.
Talisman Pouch #2
To obtain this pouch, you will have to get your hands on the two Great Runes. The Great Runes are dropped by defeating a Demigod, who are the major bosses of Elden Ring.
There are seven bosses in total that drop a Great Rune. Choose any of the two bosses to defeat and receive the Runes and head to Roundtable Hold to speak with Finger Reader Enia.
First, she will congratulate you and then offer you one more Talisman pouch. If you don’t go to her after the Maliketh fight right before she dies, then you can claim the pouch at Twin Maiden Husks.
However, when visiting Finger Reader Enia, make sure not to burn the Erdtree as it may prevent you from receiving the extra slot as many players have reported receiving only 2 additional slots atop the default one after burning the Erdtree.
Below we have listed all the demigod bosses that drop a Great Rune in Elden Ring:
- Godrick’s Great Rune: This Rune is dropped by Godrick the Grafted who is found in the Stormveil Castle.
- Malenia’s Great Rune: This Rune is dropped by Malenia, who is found in the Brace of the Haligtree.
- Mohg’s Great Rune: This Rune is dropped by Shardbearer Mohg, who is found in the Mogwyn Palace.
- Morgott’s Great Rune: This Rune is dropped by Morgott, the Omen King, who is found in the Royal Capital.)
- Radahn’s Great Rune: This Rune is dropped by Starscourge Radahn, who is found in the Wailing Dunes.
- Rykard’s Great Rune: This Rune is dropped by Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy who is found on Mt. Gelmir.)
- Great Rune of The Unborn: This Rune is dropped by Rennala Queen of the Full Moon, who is found in Raya Lucaria Academy (Liurnia of the Lakes).
Talisman Pouch #3
You will get the final Talisman Pouch when you defeat the first Elden Lord, Godfrey. He is located at the Royal Capital in Leyndell.
Godfrey is quite a formidable foe, so make sure you are adequately equipped and leveled before you attempt to take him on.
How to equip and use a Talisman Pouch
You directly equip pouches into a dedicated slot in your inventory. You can only equip a single talisman at the start of the game. Hence, the reason that you have to find pouches in order to equip more talismans where the maximum number of slots is four.
Just consider what your build requires and take a look at some of the weapons guides before choosing all four talismans.
