One of the best early-game Talismans in Elden Ring is the Green Turtle Talisman, which raises the speed at which the player's Stamina recovers. This buff provides high sustain for those who use a shield in combat. Oftentimes, an enemy or boss can break an adventurer's guard once their Stamina is depleted, during which Tarnished can become dangerously vulnerable. However, when equipped with the Green Turtle Talisman, Elden Ring melee fighters will be able to recover more quickly and jump back into the fray.
The Green Turtle Talisman is located near Summonwater Village on the northeastern side of Limgrave, far above Lake Agheel. To reach these ruins, travelers must trek northward from the Church of Elleh towards Stormgate. From here, ride up the path towards Stormhill Shack. Be wary of the ambushes along the way, specifically the troll after the gate and the wolves near the shack. Next, turn right and continue traveling down the path, eventually reaching Summonwater Village.
On the northern road to the Green Turtle Talisman, travelers should be cautious of several strong enemies they will encounter. First is the Elden Ring Pumpkin Head that guards the footbridge across the river. Players can defeat it to acquire the Pumpkin Helm or ride on past atop Torrent. Furthermore, when the Tarnished approach Summonwater Village, they may run into a Tibia Mariner, a Field Boss that may be challenging, depending on the adventurer's level. However, this boss can be avoided by giving the central part of the ruins a wide berth.
Green Turtle Talisman Location In Elden Ring
Travelers will know they're close to the location of the Green Turtle Talisman in Elden Ring when they spot several turtles near an underground entrance. To enter the crypt, Tarnished will need a single Stonesword Key to break the seal blocking the entryway. If players do not have any Stonesword Keys on hand, they can find several within the region. One can is located on a corpse at Stormhill Shack, and another can be purchased from Patches in Murkwater Cave down south. Players can also find one within Lake Agheel's Dragon-burnt within a small structure guarded by a rat.
Once Tarnished have procured a key, they can unlock the seal and acquire the Green Turtle Talisman. A piece of gear that pairs well with the Talisman would be the Great Turtle Shell, a shield that also boosts Stamina recovery speed. Moreover, the buffs applied from these turtle pieces stack, allowing players to replenish their Stamina at an incredible rate.
Elden Ring is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
