Top 8 Elden Ring Talismans for Bleed Builds


If there’s one thing Elden Ring truly emphasizes, it’s Builds and Talismans. While crafting the best Elden Ring builds is crucial, having specialized talismans is equally important. Many players favor the bleed build in Elden Ring, often considered one of the strongest in the game. If you’re interested in creating a bleed build, you’re likely curious about the optimal talismans to use. Read on as we recommend the best Elden Ring talismans for bleed builds.

1. Lord of Blood’s Exultation

When crafting an Elden Ring bleed build, one essential component is the Lord of Blood’s Exhultation, a talisman that significantly enhances your damage output. This talisman increases your attack power by 20% for 20 seconds whenever blood loss occurs nearby.

To obtain the medallion for the bleed build in Elden Ring, you need to progress through the game and reach Leyndell. Navigate to the bottom of the Subterranean Shunning Ground and delve into the Leyndell Catacombs, where it awaits. Complete the dungeon and defeat Esgar, Priest of Blood, to obtain this powerful medallion.

2. Shard of Alexander

Iron Fist Alexander, an intriguing character in Elden Ring, can be found in northern Stormhill. You encounter him initially while helping him emerge from the ground. This NPC provides another valuable talisman for bleed builds.

The Shard of Alexander Medallion significantly boosts the attack power of skills by 15%. This enhancement is particularly effective when using blood weapons such as the Rivers of Blood Katana or other top Elden Ring katanas, allowing you to deal increased damage with their skills.

3. Erdtree’s Favor

The Erdtree’s Favor talisman offers increases of 3% to HP, 7% to stamina, and 5% to equip load in Elden Ring. This makes it ideal for bleed builds using daggers or Uchigatana, allowing you to focus on creating a dexterity build for faster bleed buildup. There are three variants of this Elden Ring talisman located at different places.

The first variant can be found at the Fringefolk Hero’s Grave, providing the aforementioned stat boosts. The +1 variant is located at the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, found in a chest shortly after defeating Mogh, the Omen. It increases HP by 3.5%, stamina by 7%, and equip load by 5%.

The +2 variant is situated in Leyndell. If you fast-travel to the Forbidden Lands site of grace and take the elevator to the city, you’ll discover this talisman in a large courtyard guarded by a beast. It boosts HP by 4%, stamina by 10%, and equip load by 8%. Regardless of which variant you obtain, Erdtree’s Favor remains one of the top Elden Ring talismans for bleed builds.

4. Rotten Winged Sword Insignia

The Rotten Winged Sword Insignia is a crucial talisman for any formidable bleed build in Elden Ring. This talisman boosts your attack power incrementally with each hit across three tiers: 6%, 8%, and 13%. This continuous increase in power is invaluable when dealing consistent bleed damage to your enemies.

Obtaining the Winged Sword Insignia involves meeting Millicent and completing her questline, which includes aiding her in defeating her sisters. This side-quest is an extensive journey spanning various locations on the map and culminates in a battle against one of the game’s toughest optional bosses – Melinia, Blade of Miquella.

5. Claw

Since many bleed builds in Elden Ring focus on daggers and katanas, utilizing a talisman that enhances jump attacks can be advantageous. The Claw talisman, for instance, increases jump attack damage by 15% when equipped.

You can obtain this talisman early in the game while exploring Stormhill Castle. Begin at the Rampart Tower site of grace and ascend from the room with a lift. outside and maneuver across ledges to reach a rooftop where a dead body holds the Claw Talisman. Be prepared to confront a formidable Pichone before retrieving it.

6. Millicent’s Prosthesis

Millicent’s Prosthesis is another beneficial talisman that boosts Dexterity by 5 and shares similarities with the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia. This talisman boosts attack power by 4%, 6%, and 11% with each successive attack.

To acquire Millicent’s Prosthesis, continue Millicent’s questline and meet her after defeating the Godskin Apostle at Windmill Village. Alternatively, if you opt not to aid her against her sisters, you can challenge and defeat her in battle, obtaining the talisman. However, this choice forfeits the opportunity to obtain the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia until New Game Plus.

7. Great Turtle Talisman

In Elden Ring, building up bleed damage relies on quick and successive hits, which demands efficient stamina recovery. The Great Turtle Talisman addresses this need by increasing stamina recovery speed by 8 per second, roughly a 17% boost. This enhancement allows you to sustain your attacks against enemies for longer durations.

To obtain this talisman, visit Summonwater Village and venture into an underground area teeming with turtles. Start by spawning at the Summonwater Outskirts site of grace, then head east toward the ruins where turtles roam outside. Utilize two stone shard keys to open the fog gates and acquire what many consider one of the top talismans in Elden Ring for a bleed build.

8. Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman

The final talisman for bleed builds in Elden Ring is the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, known for its defensive capabilities. As its name suggests, this talisman reduces all physical damage taken by 20%, providing substantial overall damage reduction from enemies.

To obtain the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, journey to Miquella’s Haligtree and proceed to the latter portion of the dungeon known as Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.
Look for a chest located on an elevated platform inside a large northeast building. This will require some careful parkour and avoiding enemy attacks along the way.

These talismans represent some of the best options for bleed builds in Elden Ring. I recommend experimenting with different combinations before settling on your favorites. Once you’re prepared, gear up for the DLC by learning how to start Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
