In Elden Ring, Talismans provide players with extremely useful buffs and perks that can aid them in battle, exploration, or even Rune accumulation. Talismans can mean the difference between winning or losing a fight. When players are up against some of the game's more difficult bosses, a boost to spell speed, damage output, or increased health can go a long way.
By default, players can only equip one Talisman. This number can be increased by collecting Talisman Pouches, with each Pouch increasing the number equipable by one. There are a total of three Talisman Pouches in Elden Ring, meaning players can hold a maximum of four Talismans at once if they manage to collect them all.
Where can you find the three Talisman Pouches?
Talisman Pouches are awarded to players upon defeating some of the game's most difficult bosses. The bosses Margit, the Fell Omen, Renalla, the Full Moon Queen, and Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, will each provide players with a Talisman Pouch when they are bested in battle. In situations where players cannot earn more than two Talisman Pouches, a Talisman Pouch will be added to the Twin Maiden Husks' shop for purchase in the Roundtable Hold.

Margit and Godfrey are difficult bosses to defeat, but their Talisman Pouch will be easy to get as it is dropped upon their death. When players defeat Renalla, they will need to visit the Finger Reader Enia in the Roundtable Hold to receive the Talisman Pouch from her defeat.
