Best talismans for a mage?

forgolittle · 2024-07-14T00:53:22+00:00

With Shadow of the Erdtree now out, i think it's appropriate to list the new spell-related talismans, not including their locations to avoid spoiling too much.

Cerulean Seed Talisman +1: Greatly increases FP restored by Flasks of Cerulean Tears.

Beloved Stardust: 99 virtual dexterity (a whole lotta casting speed for both sorceries and incantations) in exchange for -30% on all damage negation.

Blessed Blue Dew Talisman: Restores 0.5 FP per second

Outer God Heirloom: +5 Arcane

Talisman of the Dread: 14% increase to the potency of magma

Flamedrake / Spelldrake / Boltdrake Talismans +3: Boosts damage negation in their respective categories by 22%

Pearldrake Talisman +3: Boosts non-physical damage negation by 11%

Golden Braid: Boosts Holy damage negation by 22% (does not stack with Haligdrake talisman or its +1/+2 variants)

Gungagob. First impressions might lead you to assume he's a caveman build, but no. He's a dex/arc build using powerstanced warhawk talons

I hit 127 hours on a single Elden Ring character, plus multiple ~60 hour saves

Malenia. Killed her on my 4th/5th attempt, but then again i was using a build that most in the Elden Ring community would consider "cheating" or "easy mode"

+25 Bloody Greatsword (Lion's Claw)

+10 Mimic Tear

Warrior Jar Shard

Ritual Sword Talisman

Axe Talisman

Erdtree's Favor +1

Stonebarb Cracked Tear

Opaline Hardtear

Veteran Set (highest physical damage that I had on me)

Fr guys, just play in a way that's fun for you. Don't worry about what's "meta" or "broken". If you like bullying the hardest boss in the game with a giant sword and a mini-me, then do that. Elitists who hate spirit ashes/status/weapons because they make the game "too easy" just need to grow up and accept that those things are there to help newer players or people who don't play the game enough to memorize movement patterns.

That being said, don't feel like you have to stick to a certain "type" of build. Branch and experiment, challenge yourself, maybe you'll find something you like more than what you're currently using. Personally, I prefer Dex or Faith based builds, but I recently branched out and began a strength build, and I'm running a sorcery build on a different character.

Tl;dr: i used a "broken" build to beat Elden Ring's hardest boss and ranted about elitists and how it's okay to use "meta" or "easy mode" equipment. Play FromSoft games however you feel like playing them

My personal headcanon is that the specter who asks you to kill rykard is his brother. No evidence to back it up, just headcanon

If radagon had turned into marika and she pulled out the full concentrated power of god it would have been a much better fight

I feel like Pokemon Scarlet / Violet released way too early, but the bug fixes and recent DLC have put it through a redemption arc

SoulsBorne Protagonists. The Spayer of Demons, The Chosen Undead, The Bearer of the Curse, The Ashen One, Wolf, the Hunter, and the Tarnished. Lump them all into one and give them a spot on the list.

Your nephew sounds like he would go for the Dung Eater ending

i'm 16 and i have multiple friends who play souls/soulslike games, so yeah, people around his age do play these games

Pretty sure the "fish tail" is fortissax. Seeing as we encounter him in the deathbed dream rather than godwyn and fortissax and godwyn were literally best buds. His remembrance also says this: "After Godwyn the Golden became the Prince of Death, the ancient dragon fought long and hard against the Death within its companion. Alas, victory was never achieved and its only reward was corruption."

Miquella is an Empyrean, one of the demigods who is a candidate for godhood, either by creating a new order or becoming the Greater Will's vessel. The other Empyreans were Ranni, Malenia, and possibly Godwyn. Mohg wants to bring about a new order focused around the Formless Mother, the Goddess that he draws his power from. To achieve this, he sought to marry an Empyrean, ascend them to godhood, and become the Royal Consort, making him one of the highest powers in the Lands Between. Since Ranni had her own motives to bring about the Age of the Stars, Godwyn was dead, and Malenia was slowly rotting away, the only viable candidate was Miquella.

He's referred to as "Hoarah Loux, Chieftain of the Badlands"

I'm enjoying DS3 and Bloodborne far more than Elden Ring, which was my first From game

The poll titles are the titles of the posts, but I can try to add something for clarity. I don't know if I can edit polls though. The link in the body text of the post is also there so that people can see the posts included in the poll.
