Talismans are a new gear type in Minecraft Dungeons II. They give a passive bonus just by being equipped. There are 24 of them, and you can equip three at once. Each one levels from I to II to III while you have it on, and the bonus grows with it.
How talismans work
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Slots | 3 |
| Levels | I, II and III. They rise while the talisman is equipped |
| Where they come from | Quest rewards, secret chests, boss drops |
| Kinds | 19 that boost stats, 5 that summon a companion |
Steam’s global stats show 41.8% of players have raised a talisman to level 3 (the Worked Like a Talisman achievement, October 4, 2026).
Stat talismans (19)
Values are for levels I, II and III, left to right.

| Twig of Dark Oak | More arrows | 20% / 40% / 60% | Main quest The Missing Note Blocks |
| Twisted Tooth | More souls gained | 40% / 80% / 140% | Dropped by the Twisted Warden |
| Tendrils of the Sprout | More damage while health is high | 10% above 95% health / 20% above 85% / 40% above 75% | Given when you first enter the Sift |

| Looter’s Charm | Higher chance that mobs drop items | 1% / 2% / 4% | Side quest Gone Fishing (Frozen Highlands) |
| Sculk Badge | Longer positive effects | 10% / 20% / 25% | Side quest Illager Intelligence (Frozen Highlands) |
| Amethyst Lens | More ranged damage | 10% / 15% / 35% | The Prime Enchanter rematch quest (secret) |
| Emerald of Good Fortune | Higher chance of extra emeralds | 10% / 20% / 25% | Secret chest in Lullaby Hills (secret) |
| Glowstone Flask | Shorter potion cooldown | 10% / 15% / 25% | Secret chest in an Overworld dungeon (secret) |
| Lucky Clover | Higher chance of extra loot | 2% / 4% / 7% | Secret chest in Frozen Highlands (secret) |
| Medallion of Momentum | Faster movement after moving for 3 seconds | 10% / 20% / 30% | Secret chest in Humbler Huskland (secret) |

| Thrifty Pendant | More damage based on emeralds held | 25%/7000 / 40%/8000 / 50%/9000 | Secret chest in Rainy Plains (secret) |
Thrifty Pendant’s values are copied as the wiki writes them. They look like pairs of bonus and emerald count, but the wiki does not explain the formula. The wiki lists Amethyst Lens as a reward from “The Prime Enchanted Revived”. The quest list has no quest by that exact name, so we read it as the Prime Enchanter rematch.
Companion talismans (5)
| Talisman | Companion | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Tasty Bone | Wolf | Main quest The Silence in Little Howl |
| Golem Kit | Iron golem | Final quest The Final Souldown |
| Prickle’s Mark | Prickle, a passive Sift creature | Side quest A Friend Till the End (Lullaby Hills) |
| Wobblestone | Wobble, a passive Sift creature | Side quest Wobble Run (Singer’s Meadow) |
| Wonderful Wheat | Llama | Dropped by the secret boss Mosstrosity (secret) |
Companion talismans have no per-level values.
Eight secret talismans and a hidden boss
Apart from Wonderful Wheat, the wiki marks eight talismans as secret: Amethyst Lens, Emerald of Good Fortune, Glowstone Flask, Lucky Clover, Medallion of Momentum, Ocelot’s Paw, Soul Chip and Thrifty Pendant.
According to the Minecraft Wiki, collecting all eight opens the Lush Caves in Howling Woods, where the secret boss Mosstrosity waits. Mosstrosity is a monstrosity-type boss that summons moss cubes, and it drops Wonderful Wheat. Its attacks are not yet written up on the wiki (October 4, 2026).
Gear rarity
Weapons, armor and artifacts come in four rarities.
| Rarity | Random effects | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Common | None | Drops most often |
| Rare | 1 | |
| Special | 2 | Sold by the town merchant. Its random effects can be re-rolled |
| Unique | Built-in effect plus 1 random | Has its own name and look |
A unique item is a distinct version of a regular item, with its own name and appearance. It carries a built-in effect plus one random effect. After the story, the Storm Generator that appears during Soul Storms drops gear with three effects (per the wiki).
On Steam, 74.1% of players have equipped a unique item (One-of-a-Kind) and 25.4% have re-rolled a special piece (Strike While it’s Hot), as of October 4, 2026.
Unique weapons and armor
The Minecraft Wiki lists 20 unique melee weapons, 5 unique ranged weapons and 11 unique armor sets (checked October 4, 2026).
| Type | Names |
|---|---|
| Melee | Awesomeaxe, Burning Blade, Cacaphonous Cleaver, Diamond Pickaxe, Diamond Shovel, Elemental Staff, Emerald Hammer, Great Hammer, Mob Mallet, Pride of the Plains, Prime Enchanter Gauntlets, Redstone Club, Sculk Claws, Sculker’s Bane, Sift Sickles, Soul Reaper, Spectral Spear, Stormcaller, Tidal Sickle, Tornado Blade |

| Armor sets | Fly Agaric, Hivemind, Hoarfrost, Mad Sifter, Monarch, Oracle, Rover, Sharpshooter, Soul Fire, Twisted Warden, Woodsprite |
The wiki confirms the source of two of them. Mob Mallet is the reward for the main quest Hiking Frozen Highlands, and Stormcaller for the side quest The Copper Monstrosity Revived.

- Q. How do talismans level up?
- A. While they are equipped. The wiki describes the level as rising with the time the talisman stays equipped.
