There are numerous talismans available for mages in Elden Ring, and since you can only equip four at a time, you’re going to have to choose wisely. Our best picks of mage talismans include:
- Use the Primal Glintstone Blade to reduce the FP consumption of Lusat’s Glintstone Staff, which boosts sorcery damage but consumes 50% more FP. Only use this if you don’t mind losing some health.
- Use the Radagon Icon to reduce spell casting time, allowing you to attack enemies faster.
- Use the Graven-Mass talisman to increase your sorcery damage by 8%, perfect for late-game when using a staff that isn’t Lusat’s Glintstone Staff, such as the Carian Regal Scepter (Which enhances full moon sorceries) or Azur’s Glintstone Staff (Reduces the casting time of all sorceries).
- The Cerulean Amber Medallion +2, which increases FP by 11%, very helpful to always have lots of FP.
We hope our guide to the best talismans for mages in Elden Ring has helped you. Before we leave off, we just want to remind you that you don’t have to keep the same talismans for the entire game, you can always swap them out depending on your equipment and the boss or enemies you’re facing. Good luck!
