How to Get More Talisman Slots in Elden Ring

In Elden Ring, one of your subcategories of equipment is Talismans. Talismans are little chotchkies you can carry around on your person that confer a variety of beneficial (and occasionally not-so-beneficial) effects, such as buffing your stats, restoring your health with successful kills, or making you immune to fall damage. At the beginning of your playthrough, you can only equip one Talisman at a time, but as you progress through the game, that will gradually increase. Here’s how to get more Talisman slots in Elden Ring.

How to Get More Talisman Slots in Elden Ring

To get more Talisman slots in Elden Ring, you will need to acquire a Talisman Pouch. Your ability to equip Talismans into Talisman slots on your equipment menu is determined by a key item known as a Talisman Pouch. Every Talisman Pouch you collect adds an additional Talisman slot on your Equipment menu, allowing you to equip more Talismans at once and reap their benefits simultaneously (provided you have enough carry weight to handle more than one, of course). To keep you from getting too strong too fast, however, there are only three additional Talisman Pouches in the entire game, and they’re not exactly right next to each other.

Where to get Talisman Pouches in Elden Ring

Talisman Pouches are only carried by three specific Elden Ring bosses, who will give them to you after you defeat them. None of these bosses are found in the same region as one another, so don’t expect to max out your potential for equipping Talismans right off the bat.

The three bosses who carry Talisman Pouches are:

• Margit, the Fell Omen
• Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon
• Godfrey, First Elden Lord

The first Talisman Pouch you get will undoubtedly be the one held by Margit, the Fell Omen. Margit guards the entranceway to Stormveil Castle, the residence of Godrick the Grafted, who you need to defeat to progress the story, so a run-in with him is inevitable. 

The second Talisman Pouch is earned after defeating Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, who is the second major boss dwelling in the Academy of Raya Lucaria located in the Liurnia of the Lakes region. Again, Rennala is a major boss, so you don’t have to worry about missing this one. Technically, though, the second Talisman Pouch isn’t given to you by Rennala herself, but rather by Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold as a reward for getting two Greater Runes.

The third and final Talisman Pouch is held by the specter of Godfrey, First Elden Lord, who is encountered on the way to the Legacy Dungeon of the Leyndell Royal Capital. While not a major boss, Godfrey is a required encounter, and you’ll have to defeat both him and his partner, Hoarah Loux, Warrior. When they’re both down, then you get the Talisman Pouch.
