What Are The Best Talismans In God Of War?

There are several talismans available in God Of War that offer unique abilities for Kratos during combat and boost various stats. The abilities can be triggered by pressing L1 and O, and the talismans can be crafted, found or bought from Brok or Sindri throughout the various God Of War chapters.

The talismans come in four levels; Common, Rare, Legendary, and Epic, and they have cooldown timers. They are equipped via the game’s Armour section and only one talisman can be equipped at a time, although you can swap them out at any time. They can also be upgraded, boosting Kratos’ stats further and improving the talisman’s corresponding ability.
