Elden Ring Talisman Pouch Notes & Tips
- The sealing of blessed items inside opaque pouches to serve as good luck charms resembles the omamori practice from Japan. The real thing, however, tends to be blessed at the temple, zipped up at the temple, sold by the temple and ritually disposed of by the temple next year once the blessing dries up - the effect dies immediately and invites bad luck if the pouch is opened. These pouches being golden fonts of permanent blessings which change with the things placed in them is a very Erdtree-flavored twist on what is normally a disposable item.
AnonymousSo, what even was the purpose of these? It only really gates you out of talisman slots for the first half of the game and you barely even see a lot of really good talismans by that point. I can understand it as a way to "reduce" twinking but, just like soul memory, it'll never work because the people who twink will always find a way to gain even a slight advantage. Dragon Halberd still exists, Rot pots/Rot breath still exists, getting 14 fully upgraded flasks still exists.

AnonymousI dont think ppl realize these are
morgott's testicles. He drops one after thr margit fight and then his other one after you kill him
fun fact, in NG+ you can get a 5th talisman pouch from margit but it will drop on the ground since you already have the maximum amount of talisman pouches, what you thought i was gonna spread misinformation?

AnonymousYou can find a fourth talisman pouch by reaching the secret ending and fighting Rick, Soldier of God

AnonymousIdk why but this comment section is rife with blatant misinformation about talisman pouches, and nobody is correcting anyone so... Here.
There are 4 pouches, not 5. You start with 1 and can find 3 more in base game. The DLC did not add a fifth pouch.
No, you cannot accidentally, or intentionally for that matter, sell your talisman pouch for 300 runes. It's a key item, y'all. C'mon now
AnonymousWhile picking these up is a really satisfying aspect of growing you power on a new build... I can't help but think you'd see more variety in early set ups if you started with the pouches out the gate. It's hard to not just grab Radagon's Soreseal on subsequent playthroughs and leave it in til half the game is over. Obviously people can just choose to not use the best stuff available, but with 4 slots you'd be waiting on better talismans rather than having great talismans and waiting for more pouch slots.

AnonymousI really needed runes so I sold the talisman pouch to a merchant for 300 runes. hqo do I get it back?

Anonymousyou can get a 5th one in the dlc after going through the king's field and entering the shadow tower, inside you have to kill the hollow knight by piercing him through his armored core and then he says "shadows die twice, but demon souls are forever" and he dies and drops it.

AnonymousOnly 4? I'm gonna need my AI anime gf (with voluptious thighs) to comfort me after this one.

Anonymousmale characters should get another talisman slot cuz they have a pouch down there...

Anonymous
AnonymousHonestly wish there was one more talisman pouch added in the DLC, but I could see how that would be seen as pay-to-win. Just make an update that gives you a fifth one after defeating Gideon or Hoarah Loux. There's so many new build possibilities with the DLC talismans added.

AnonymousIt's funny how the description says you get this from Finger Readers, but 2 of them are obtained by beating Morgott's illusions.
He watches our every move, challenges us to push forward, gives us slots... He really is Margit the full walkthrough...
AnonymousWould have been epic if mr. promised consort dropped a 5th pouch

AnonymousI think a good way to add 2 more pouch slots without upsetting balance would be to make a handful of the more powerful talismans cost 2 slots. That way, niche/fun builds can actually stand a chance against the typical strong/meta builds that use “must have” talismans.

Anonymous
AnonymousYou can wear 20 rings, 2 bracelets, 2 anklets, 1 necklace, 2 earrings and 1 plug, totalizing 28 slots to use for buffing items.
Your character should start the game with 28 talisman/ring/etc slots by default.
Anonymous
AnonymousWould have been nice to have that fifth slot area filled in the equip menu. DLC gave us so many new options it’s hard to justify me using the fourth slot for the host of fingers skin.

AnonymousDisappointing they added so many new talismans in the DLC and didn't create a 5th talisman slot. Crimson Seed +1 is almost mandatory with 50+ vigor and you'll probably have a damage negation one on as well. Maybe they did it for balance, but let's not pretend like PVP isn't already horribly balanced to begin with.

Anonymous
AnonymousThere should be talisman slot matching making in PVP just like there’s weapon match making. You can only invade/be summoned into worlds that have equal, one greater or one few talisman slot than you. This is so lenient that it would only effect twinks (jerks that purposeful keep their level and weapon low to have a huge advantage over players with less powerful gear and resources). There is no reason not to do this. It would make the community much healthier by not turning off new players to PVP from a bad first experience at lower levels.

AnonymousOne of the worst mechanics they introduced, you find so many talismans early on, but can only have two equipped for like half the game

AnonymousYou can get a 5th pouch by beating every boss in the game fists only without taking damage

AnonymousI'm not sure how to edit these pages, but you don't have to defeat two great rune bosses to get the fourth talisman pouch. Killing Morgott is what causes the Enia pouch to become available at the twin maiden husks. If you use a glitch or exploit to get into the capital without killing any great rune bosses, you can get the pouch with only Morgott's great rune after defeating him. Tested on patch 1.10 with the ruptured tear elevator skip to get into Leyndell early.

Losers.
In ds1 you had only 1 ring slot while your hp and stamina was increased by 25% default.
AnonymousPatch 1.10 I think I have. You can have a total of 4. I got one from the gold Godfrey. Get 2nd pouch. Killed Morgott guarding the tree. Getting a 3rd one. Which you can skip him to get to Godrrick. you can buy the 3rd pouch at the maiden huck to get the 3rd (pouch) 3 will show in inventory. Dont think it will work the other way around. wixh we can at least have 6. And more damn arrows and bolts to carry. 99 suck ass and not worth it to use bows in my opinion.

Anonymousas much as i'd like these to factor in to multiplayer matchmaking, i feel like it would spread thin the already spread thin playerbase

AnonymousI just want one game where we can have 5 rings/talismans. 4 for build set up and 1 for gimmicks

Anonymousliterally every tailor and armorsmith in the lands between on their way to make sure that literally no garment I could possibly wear has pockets I could keep things in

AnonymousMemory stones are NOT pouch slots. Always remember this before you get excited that you got a cool memory thingy from the top of a tower.

AnonymousWith the size of the Banished Knight armor's cod piece, you'd think there'd be room to stash a 5th talisman. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

Anonymouswhy do we need a pouch to store talismans in? can't we just wear armor with pockets or something?

Anonymous
AnonymousApparently you can get one by defeating the tutorial boss idk how valid that is though. that is what my friend said

AnonymousAcross the whole wiki, you guys complain a lot more than the fanbase that played/plays Sekiro/Souls. They even made an easier game and still you complain

AnonymousDefeated Margit, the Fell Omen and I did not get a talisman pouch. The only one I got so far was from Finger Reader Enra. I probably will get the other one from Morgott or from the golden shade of Godfrey if I can only have four talismans equipped.

AnonymousI'm pretty sure you get a 5th talisman slot after beating Horah Loux.

Imagine getting a 5th slot you can only put the trick mirror in to show of your sweet fashion without interfering with your build.

AnonymousWe had two rings in Dark Souls 1. Four in DS2 and 3. Even Bloodborne had four rune slots which functioned like the rings. There is absolutely not chance ER is getting five in any update or DLC

AnonymousDo these continue to drop in new game + even if you have all four slots unlocked?

AnonymousTo every single mfer that downvotes comments that are rightfully complaining about the npc lock.
Why should it be locked? Why shouldn't Enia ALWAYS have the ability to give you the pouch? There's no logic in capping it after the third great rune.
Even your daddy FromSoft changed it so that you can find it in the twin maiden's shop even if you didnt talk to the finger reader.
AnonymousBruh I think I didn't get the last pouch because when I killed godfrey (golden shade) I died at the same time. Didn't even realise until I beat the game that smth was hella off. Smh.

Anonymous
AnonymousDo the number of talisman pouches you have affect multiplayer summonability?

AnonymousI mean, if they're making us work for ring slots, they might as well give us a 5th one? This game has a lot more build variety than any other souls and a lot more content, so I think it would be fair

AnonymousTested just for fun: If you skip Stormveil and head to the Capital Outskirts and kill Margit there, he doesn't drop the pouch.

AnonymousAm I the only person on the internet who found one randomly on top of a tower outside of a castle Morne before beating Margit and then didn't get a drop from him....?

AnonymousIt says that they’re awarded in no particular order, and while that’s technically true, that is pretty much the order that 95% of players will get them.

AnonymousAwesome new update fixed missing out on a talisman pouch, when you go to the round table it notifies you theres new items and you can go to the lady you give the bells and buy it from her store for 500 runes. lowkey panicked for a second when I went to the og finger lady who normally gives it to you and she didnt have it still lol

AnonymousI think From is teaching a valuable lesson. With all the people complaining about missing a slot, that is entirely on you. Just be thorough. This game is a massive experience that intended for you to explore everything possible, talk to everyone, go everywhere. If you missed an item, just like I missed the legendary spear in Leyndell before it turned to ash, that is noones fault but your own.

AnonymousPatch 3/16/2022 a 3rd Talisman pouch was just added to my Twin maidens shop at the Table of Lost Grace. I was one of the bugged/missed the dialogue option for pouch number 2. Hope everyone else gets the same result.

AnonymousDamn, I just had this issue today, and it just got patched, today.

AnonymousDamn, I just had this issue today, and it just got patched, today.

AnonymousSo, we can get 3 pouchs to get 4 talisman space, right?. Thats all?.

I still don't get why people are so obsessed with having all the talisman slots. I spent a large chunk of the game with only 2, and since getting the third and fourth I hardly know what to do with them

AnonymousLMAO @ people missing out. Who gets a boss soul and doesn't immediately go to see what weapons you can make from it.

AnonymousLMAO @ people missing out. Who gets a boss soul and doesn't immediately go to see what weapons you can make from it.

AnonymousI really don’t get the people saying “it’s your fault you missed the talisman slot”. How was I supposed to know? Now my character is gimped unless I go to ng+. Which will restrict where he can pvp.
I know soulsborne games are brutal but this unusually rough
AnonymousBeing locked out of core character progression feels bad. Fromsoft really should make the finger maiden drop the talisman pouch when she dies or at least make it available whenever after we unlock it. This having to talk to her at a very specific time in a play through to get it is more than annoying it’s a waste of time. 2 pvp characters down the drain because I didn’t know about this bs. Tbh who would know about this unless you’ve fallen prey to the character waster! Literally my whole day off in effort shoved in the toilet because of this. Fk me.
No I’m not taking these characters that were staying around level 60 to ng+ just to get a core character upgrades.
AnonymousSo many people saying there could be a 5th added because of room on the UI. That wont be the case, that empty area is where covenant items used to slot, if anything we'll get a covenant before we get a 5th talisman.

AnonymousSomehow I have 3 of these and haven't encountered that Godfrey dude yet.

AnonymousLove being locked out of a talisman slot because of arbitrary placement. Why is core character progression locked just for playing the game? Was trying to make low level pvp characters and ended up wasting all that time because of this.
Make sure you go talk to the finger Maiden after getting 2 great runes or you too will be locked out of a core character upgrade.
AnonymousSo basically you get the first pouch from Godfrey, the secone from Renalla, and the third from under a waterfall, but don't miss the third one because it'll disappear and you can't obtain the fourth, fifth, and sixth pouches from sucking finger lady's toes.

Anonymous
AnonymousOk I beat Godfrey and was confused why I didn’t have 3 yet, read the comments and beat Radahn to have two great runes. Spoke to Enia and amazingly she gave me a 3rd pouch.!

AnonymousI decided to skip Margit, because I'm a scrub, and when I beat Morgott he dropped a talisman pouch

AnonymousTalismans work much like rings from Dark Souls 1 through 3, and across all 3 games we only ever had 4 ring slots so I doubt there will be a fifth slot in a dlc

AnonymousThere seems to be some confusion among the comments so here it is: you begin the game with 1 pouch. There are 3 more you can get as the game progresses for a total of 4 pouches. Also, as someone mentioned further down, they may add another pouch with some dlc in the future.

AnonymousThis is so stupid. I got past Godfrey without going to roundtable and talking to the handmaiden lady, and now I'm PERMANATELY stuck at a HUGE disadvantage compared to my peers or others I pvp against? Why would you NOT have thought of this??

AnonymousLack of a 5th talisman slot (to me) indicates one may be available once the DLC is released. More reason for people to purchase and play the DLC areas if there's huge incentive.

AnonymousI have four slots I don't remember how I got them. Does the wiki not mention a fourth one because you're just given one starting out?

AnonymousShame there's only 4 total, the interface is screaming like there should be a fifth

AnonymousRip final talisman slot. Gotta love when they forget to check for 2 AND 3 instead of just 2. Feels bad, hope it gets patched

Anonymous
AnonymousWhy is not talking to enia means you miss out on a talisman slot if you've beat godfrey even a thing? Now I'm in the end game and am missing a talisman slot and my character is trash

AnonymousThe link to Godfrey's page needs to be changed to Godfrey, First Elden Lord (Golden Shade). The pouch drops from this first version of him found in Leyndell, not the second one.

AnonymousIf you look at the Talisman Pouch in the Key Items tab it says that a maximum of 3 can be held. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a glitch to get a fourth, but I doubt that you are meant to be able to have 5 slots.

AnonymousTo anyone hoping there will be a hotfix soon, someone sent support tickets to fromsoft and bandi, and he said "I now have an update from FromSoft's support. tldr they basically said it was a feature and there was nothing they could or would be doing about it."

AnonymousSo reading from the comments Margit gives you a fourth and Godfrey gives you a fifth??? Slot according to the game progression.???

Anonymousis there any way to get it if you didnt get it after the 2nd great rune? I killed every great rune boss except miquella and I haven't gotten it and im sad

I wish DLC introduced a 5th talisman pouch with reduced/increased effects, or for specific talismans only, or even a slot that's compatible with different versions of same talismans like winged sword and rotten winged sword insignia. Idk, I just wish there was a dlc talisman pouch, idc what it does. My greatbow sniper build would benefit SO MUCH from a 5th one
