Where to get the Ritual Sword Talisman in Elden Ring

The Ritual Sword Talisman is located in the Lux Ruins on the Altus Plateau. This is found directly north of the Grand Lift of Dectus just up a small hill. You’ll pass a few enemies on the way up here, but these can all be ignored, though you may want to dispatch all the enemies at the ruins themselves to make things easier.

Once here, head down the stairs at the northern end of the ruins. Here, you’ll find Demi-Human Queen Gilka. Take her down, and you’ll be able to open a metal door at the back of the room. Head inside and open the chest to find the Ritual Sword Talisman.

What does the Ritual Sword Talisman do in Elden Ring?

The Ritual Sword Talisman increases your attack power by 10% for all damage types, but only when you are at full health. As soon as you lose even 1HP, you’ll no longer receive the effects of the talisman and will have to return to full health to get that damage boost back. If you can confidently avoid damage, this could be one of the best talismans in the game for your build.
