Talisman List

Summary

Details

How Talismans Work

• Throw a talisman to inflict a status condition to the target and adjacent creatures in a 1 tile radius.
• If a talisman hits a monster with an aura, the aura is removed.
• Talismans can't be blessed or sealed.

Locations Key

Shadow Bind Tal.

Inflicts Shadow Bound status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Lasts 10 turns, and nice for run-away play or defeating enemies from a distance.

Locations:

Conf. Talisman

Inflicts Confused status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Easiest to use among the common talismans. (shadow bind, confusion, seal, and sleep)
There's some risk of monsters leveling up or hitting you with direct attacks, but the
confusion lasts 20 turns and is generally reliable for overcoming confrontations.

Locations:

Seal Talisman

Inflicts Sealed status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
It's better to use staves or scrolls if a monster with a dangerous special attack
is adjacent to you, since thrown items only have 84% accuracy in this game.

Locations:

Fear Talisman

Inflicts Afraid status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Lasts 15 turns which is less than Conf. Talisman, but has the advantage of predictability.
It's a bit rarer than the 4 common talismans. (shadow bind, confusion, seal, sleep)
Can be used to level up monsters.

Locations:

Berserker Tal.

Inflicts Berserk status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Lasts for 30 turns, and effectively prevents an enemy from using their special attack.
Can be used to level up monsters.

Locations:

Inacc. Talisman

Inflicts Inaccurate status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Lasts 10 turns, and doesn't prevent monsters from using their special attacks.
Nice when you want Floaty family monsters to throw you to another floor,
or when you want a Nigiri Morph to change an item into a Large Onigiri, etc.

Locations:

Sleep Talisman

Inflicts Asleep status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Completely shuts down all targets, making it the best talisman on paper.
However, in practice you'll find that groups of enemies or naturally Swift enemies
will often wake up before you have a chance to defeat them, since it only lasts 6 turns.

Locations:

Slumber Scroll

Inflicts Sound Asleep status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Basically a Sleep Talisman that lasts twice as long (12 turns), but with the risk
of targets waking up with increased speed if you don't finish them off in time.

Locations:

Slow Talisman

Slows a target and its surroundings by 1 stage when thrown. (1 tile radius)
The decrease in speed is permanent for enemies, so it's quite reliable.
However, it's not as effective against naturally Swift enemies.

Action speed stages (enemy):
Swift (2 attacks) → Swift (1 attack) → Normal → Slow
※ Talismans remove auras if they hit, so no need to worry about Yellow Auras.

Locations:

Swift Talisman

Hastens a target and its surroundings by 1 stage when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Throw it at allies to give them Swift status, or at Bored Kappas to give Shiren Swift status.

Action speed stages (enemy):
Slow → Normal → Swift (1 attack) → Swift (2 attacks)
※ Talismans remove auras if they hit, so no need to worry about Yellow Auras.

Synthesize a sword with 2 from the following items to create the Quick Hitting rune:
Swift Grass, Swift Staff, or Swift Talisman.

Locations:

Enraged Talisman

Inflicts Enraged status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Throw it at a Bored Kappa monster to give Shiren Enraged status for 15 turns.
The use case is so limited, it's usually a waste of inventory space to carry it.

Locations:

Furious Talisman

Inflicts Furious status on a target and its surroundings when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Throw it at a Bored Kappa monster to give Shiren Furious status for 15 turns.
The use case is so limited, it's usually a waste of inventory space to carry it.

Locations:

Glorious Talisman

Increases the level of the target and its surroundings by 1 when thrown. (1 tile radius)
Only grants 500 experience points when Shiren or his allies get hit by the talisman,
so it's mainly used to level up monsters.
