Overview

Daniel reviews several new talismans from Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, evaluating their mechanics, locations, and in-game performance.

Featured talismans include the Two-Handed Sword Talisman, Rellana's Cameo, Crusade Insignia, Shattered Stone Talisman, Outer God Heirloom, Blade of Mercy, Smithing Talisman, and the Talisman of Lord's Bestowal, alongside a clarification regarding the base-game origin of the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.

Themes

Shadow of the Erdtree talismans, their acquisition locations, stat effects, and mechanics.

Testing and perceived ineffectiveness or potential bugs involving the Talisman of Lord's Bestowal.

Distinguishing base-game talismans like the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia from DLC additions.

Developments

Daniel tests the Talisman of Lord's Bestowal with crimson and cerulean flasks and observes no change to the poise stat.

Daniel clarifies that the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia originates from Millicent's questline in the base game rather than the DLC.

Uncertainties & gaps

The precise buff percentage provided by the Two-Handed Sword Talisman remains unconfirmed, with an estimate of roughly 15%.

Specific weapon stances compatible with Rellana's Cameo beyond Overhead Stance remain unverified, with rapiers considered as a possibility.

The cause of the Talisman of Lord's Bestowal failing to modify the poise stat after drinking a flask is undetermined, including whether the item is bugged.

The exact requirements or execution method for weapon throws buffed by the Smithing Talisman, including whether a specific Ash of War or spear is necessary, are unclear.
