For a player who has played Minecraft Dungeons long enough, you already know how a couple of gear pieces and weapons can turn into a full-blown buildcrafting rabbit hole. The Talismans in Minecraft Dungeons 2 add another layer to that familiar obsession, but this time the game has three extra slots for the passive effects. So, dive right in to learn about all the Minecraft Dungeons 2 Talismans and what effects they can add to your build.
List of Confirmed Talismans in Minecraft Dungeons 2
Talismans aren’t simply another version of Artifacts in Minecraft Dungeons 2. They add a bunch of unique buffs that can quietly reshape how your hero fights and determine your playstyle as well. Whether you want more melee damage, make quicker follow-up attacks after a jump, or move at lightning speed, Talismans help you with that.
So, here is the list of all 17 Talismans in Minecraft Dungeons 2 along with their effects:
| Talisman | Effect |
|---|---|
| Twisted Tooth | Increases souls gained by 40% |
| Tasty Bone | Summons a Wolf companion |

| Prickle’s Mark | Summons a Prickle companion |
Twisted Tooth
The Twisted Tooth Talisman in Minecraft Dungeons 2 is helpful to players who tend to lean more on the soul-related systems, like using the Artifacts more often.
It can increase the souls gained by 40%, making it the perfect addition for builds with a costly Artifact expense.
Tasty Bone
If there’s one Talisman that has already made an impression during the Minecraft Dungeons 2 demo and other gameplay trailers, it’s Tasty Bone. This bone-shaped Talisman can summon a wolf companion capable of fighting alongside your hero.
The wolf can attack enemies, attract their attention, and even take damage. It despawns after its health is depleted and comes back after a 30-second cooldown.
Fist of Iron
If your favorite way to clear a dungeon is to walk up to the enemies and hit them straightaway, the Fist of Iron should be your immediate pick. This Talisman in Minecraft Dungeons 2 increases melee damage by 10% at level 1.
So make sure that one of your Talisman slots has the Fist of Iron if you’re mostly using the War Hammer, Scythe, Pride of the Plains, or other similar melee weapons in Minecraft Dungeons 2.
Healing Heart
The Healing Heart takes a very different approach and acts as a support. With this Talisman equipped, you will restore 2% of your health per second at level one.
Although that sounds like a meagre health restoration, it comes in handy when you’ve lost a massive chunk of your health bar, and the next room is waiting for you. This will allow you to carry fewer health regeneration consumables and focus on damage-boosting items more.
Lucky Clover
The Lucky Clover is similar to the Fortune enchantment in Minecraft. At level one, this Talisman provides a 2% chance of receiving additional loot drops.
This dungeon crawling experience is filled with a massive number of enemies, so even a small chance becomes meaningful here.
Looter’s Charm
The Looter’s Charm Talisman in Minecraft Dungeons 2 might look similar to the Lucky Clover at first glance; however, their purpose is slightly different. At level one, it increases the chance of enemies dropping loot by 1%.
Understand the difference. Here, the chance of obtaining loot from defeated enemies is boosted rather than the amount of loot dropped. Nonetheless, these two Talismans would pair up nicely together for players who want to make a farming build in Minecraft Dungeons 2.
Ocelot’s Paw
The Ocelot’s Paw is designed around one of the most exciting mechanics of Minecraft Dungeons 2: jump attacks. At level 1, it increases the damage dealt by jump attacks by 10%.
If you’re constantly launching yourself in front of the enemies in Minecraft Dungeons 2, creating ripples across the dimensions using your War Hammer, this Talisman would be perfect for you.
Sigil of Beewax
The Sigil of Beewax is one of the most straightforward defensive Talismans in Minecraft Dungeons 2. If you’re up to making a Tank build, equip the Sigil of Beewax to increase your maximum health by 20%.
That extra health can also influence how other healing mechanics feel due to the percentage-based recovery method of the Healing Heart.
Tendrils of the Sprout
The Tendrils of Sprout is a condition-based Talisman. At level one, it grants a 10% damage increase while your health remains above 95%.
If you remember the prequel, Tendrils of Sprout is quite similar to the high-health damage multiplier mechanic. However, the 95% threshold gives you a bit more breathing room for the buff to work.
The Eye of Experience
The Eye of Experience is aimed at providing a progression boost instead of attack or defense buffs. The Talisman becomes quite useful in the early stages of the game due to the 4% XP gain boost.
Experience matters because reaching level 10 in the game grants you access to the third Artifact slot and, therefore, allows you to create a strong build later in the game.
Thrifty Pendant
The next Minecraft Dungeons 2 Talisman has a strange relationship with your inventory because apparently your emerald count determines the amount of damage boost received.
At level one, the Thrifty Pendant can provide up to a 25% damage bonus based on the number of emeralds you hold. The effect can scale up to a maximum of 7000 emeralds.
Twig of Dark Oak
In contrast to the Fist of Iron, the Twig of Dark Oak Talisman focuses on the ranged weapons in the game. At level one, it increases your ammo capacity by 20%.
Now, you don’t need to rely on picking up arrows as they recharge over time. So, this Talisman can give you more freedom to use the bows and crossbows while dealing with the Tall Sifters and Bearded Sifters in the Sift dimension of Minecraft Dungeons 2.
Armadillo Amulet
The Armadillo Amulet focuses on your mobility. Equipping this Talisman can help reduce the cooldown of your roll by 20% at level 1.
Since some of the enemies from the Sift, such as the Bearded Sifter, fire homing projectiles, you constantly need to reposition yourself. This is where the Armadillo Amulet comes in handy, as rolling plays a big part in survival.
Essence of Efficiency
The Essence of Efficiency reduces the artifact cooldown by 4% at level 1, making it a fantastic pairing option with the Twisted Tooth Talisman. As you farm more Souls, your Artifact recharges faster, creating a continuous loop that keeps your build constantly buffed during combat.
Golem Kit
With the Golem Kit Talisman equipped, a Minecraft Iron Golem is summoned to fight alongside you. Similar to the wolf, the Iron Golem has its own set of health and attack moves. So, once its health is completely depleted, it returns after a 30-second cooldown.
Medallion of Momentum
The Medallion of Momentum rewards you for keeping your movement going. After moving for more than three seconds continuously, the Talisman increases your movement speed by 10%. Since clearing out dungeons means a lot of running around rooms full of enemies, this mobility buff can be quite useful for the long runs.
Prickle’s Mark
Prickle’s Mark is the third companion-based Talisman that summons a Prickle companion to fight alongside you. Like the previous pets, the Prickle stays as long as you have the Talisman equipped. It also has its own set of abilities and a health pool – if defeated, the Prickle goes on a 30-second cooldown before returning.
And that sums up the list of all Talismans in Minecraft Dungeons 2. So, what combination are you going to equip for clearing out the rooms? Tell us in the comments below.
You have three dedicated Talisman slots that are separate from the Artifacts. So, you’re free to choose any three Talisman effects throughout the run.
Consider using Twisted Tooth, Essence of Efficiency, and the Thrifty Pendant for a Soul-focused build; Lucky Clover, Looter’s Charm, and Tasty Bone for a loot-focused build; or Fist of Iron, Ocelot’s Paw, and Thrifty Pendant for a damage-only build.
