Elden Ring: How to Get More Talisman Slots (2023)

Elden Ring provides over 80 talismans to choose from, but players will need to find Talisman Pouches to get more talisman slots. While initially players can only equip one talisman, they can increase the number of talisman slots available up to three times throughout the game. While some Talisman Pouches are a bit difficult to find, talismans themselves can be obtained by defeating enemies and bosses, looting chests, or from buying them from merchants.

Players begin the game with only one, but they can unlock more talisman slots in Elden Ring by obtaining these Talisman Pouches. Two Talisman Pouches are acquired by beating non-optional bosses in Elden Ring, and these are the ones most players will be able to find without much trouble. However, one of Elden Ring's Talisman Pouches can easily be missed, since it requires players to speak to an NPC who will disappear if players progress too far into the game.

The first time players can get more Talisman Slots in Elden Ring via a Pouch is when they find and beat Margit, the Fell Omen in Stormhill, as players attempt to approach Stormveil Castle. This boss will present the first serious challenge most Elden Ring players will encounter on their initial playthrough, and if players are having trouble defeating it they can summon Sorcerer Rogier just before the fog gate in order to increase their chances. Additionally, they can acquire the Lone Wolf Ashes, which are quite powerful at this stage of the game, and buy Margit's Shackle from Patches, as it will ground Margit and allow players to get a few hits for free.

The third Talisman slot in Elden Ring is the one players have the highest chances to miss, as it is obtained by talking to an NPC that will disappear after players defeat Godfrey. To avoid missing out on this Talisman Pouch, after beating Godrik the Grafted, choose one of the following bosses to beat instead of Godfrey:

One of these bosses needs to be defeated, because players will need one additional Great Rune in addition to Godrick's. Once two have been acquired, travel to the Roundtable Hold and head right and up the stairs to find Finger Reader Enia in the corner of the room. Speak to her at this point to receive the second Talisman Pouch and increase the number of slots to three.

The final way to get more talisman slots in Elden Ring is obtained near the end of the game, after players beat Godfrey, the First Elden Lord. Much like Margit, this boss will severely test players' skills and will require them to be adequately prepared as well as leveled up. Players will encounter this boss in Leyndell, the Capital of Ash, after completing "Crumbling Farum Azula."

After defeating Godfrey, players will acquire the final Talisman Pouch, raising the total number of talismans they can equip in Elden Ring to four.

There are over 100 Talismans in Elden Ring (counting the enhanced +1 and +2 versions) but even with all the upgrades above players can only use a max of four at one time. Below is a list of every single Talisman, Charm, and Medallion players can find in the Lands Between (via PushSquare), along with a description about what they do.
