Where Is The Ritual Sword Talisman And How To Reach It

The Ritual Sword Talisman is one of the most powerful offensive accessories in Elden Ring, offering a flat damage boost whenever your health is completely full. Because this effect applies to physical attacks, sorceries, and weapon skills alike, it serves as a core component for high-damage glass cannon builds. Finding this valuable item requires traveling to a specific set of ruins located early in the Altus Plateau region.

Where to Find the Lux Ruins

To locate the Ritual Sword Talisman, players must journey to the Lux Ruins situated in the southwestern part of the Altus Plateau. The most convenient fast-travel point nearby is the Erdtree-Grazing Hill Site of Grace. From this point of grace, you simply need to head slightly south and climb up the rocky incline to reach the ruined structure above.

Defeating the Boss Inside the Dungeon

Once you reach the top of the Lux Ruins, look for a stone staircase leading down into an underground cavern. Inside this room, you will encounter Demi-Human Queen Gilika guarding the inner chamber. The battle is relatively straightforward, but staying agile and avoiding her wide swings will make quick work of the encounter.

Claiming the Ritual Sword Talisman

After defeating Queen Gilika, a doorway at the back of the arena will unlock. Proceed into the small reward chamber and open the heavy treasure chest inside. You will receive the Ritual Sword Talisman, which immediately grants a ten percent boost to all attack power while at maximum health.

Best Ways to Utilize the Buff

This talisman shines brightest when paired with ranged combat setups, such as sorcery or bow builds, where taking damage is minimal. Ranged playstyles naturally stay at full health longer, allowing you to maintain the damage increase consistently throughout battles. Combining it with passive health regeneration effects can also help quickly restore your full health bar if you take chip damage.
