Talisman Location Master Post

[Kardas]

Last update: December 23 2017

I've seen a ton of individual threads here asking where certain Talismans are. I think this kind of clutters the sub-board, and I offer a solution: A thread detailing where every Talisman in the game can be obtained (and then some)! For those times you can't be bothered loading up your game to check.

If you want to know about how XP runes work with Talismans, see this thread

First some Basics:
The levels of Talismans scale to the difficulty in which they drop. 1* Talismans drop in Normal difficulties, 2* Talismans on Hard difficulty, and 3* Talismans on Madness difficulty. The only exception are Talismans dropped from Skull Quests, which are always 3*. Talisman levels in Brave New World depend on the level you play.
Also, despite what the rewards menu says, all subtypes of certain Talismans drop in their respective worlds. So while the Rewards menu for Ailing Kingdom says that Fierce Strength Talismans drop, you will find Fierce, Safeguard, and Skilled Talismans there.

Also, there is no best level where to get Talismans. RNG is RNG, so some days you'll get tons of Talismans, and other days you'll get very little. In general, farm Talismans on the hardest level you can do for best loot/XP/gold. Higher levels also increase the chance of getting more than one drop upon completing the level.

You might add that the "unavailable" ones were quoted by Sparton as being released later on in an update, presumably either in "Night City" or "Brave New World". Below is the quote.

"The following talismans no longer drop in the campaign, but will return as drops in future worlds: Thorn, Explosive, Cyclone, Crystal, Guard, Resistance, Resilience, Warp, Rush"

From 10-14 update notes.

Great summary!


I think Sparton has said that the higher the level (within each world and difficiulty), the higher the chances to get multiple rewards. This also means that higher level have better chances of getting talismans.

Nice overview! It should especially be helpful to newer players and it certainly helps to confirm which ones are indeed not dropping at the Moment.

I don't know if it was changed and can only speak for myself, but i did not receive a Vampiric set. If anybody can confirm they are still awarded in Lightbringer Hard I might wanna right a Support Ticket...

I don't know if it was changed and can only speak for myself, but i did not receive a Vampiric set.

I did not receive a set either @Nine. I'm thinking this must have changed at some point.

[Kardas]

Thanks everyone! I've made a few edits.

Bit strange hearing that about the Vampiric Talismans- I don't know how people who started after the Halloween event can get Vampiric Talismans then...

[CanyptianFit]

On Vampirics. Today Vampirics don't drop, so there is no way to get them today.

The Halloween event had them, and I believe those that started day 1 could buy a pack with some.

I finally found out how to get to that Hidden Fear of the dark level. There's a video on YouTube explaining how to get there. You find it under glitch of the dark. It did work for me and I got a set of vampiric talismans. I'm playing since July last year and never even saw one of them. I hope it helps some people.
