God of War has a lot of game mechanics that make an already powerful Kratos even more deadly, be it the Enchantments or the Talismans. The game has several Talismans from Common, Rare, and Legendary to Epic. While certain Talisman has better stats than others on paper, almost all of them serve a unique purpose and are effective against a specific type of enemies you encounter in the game. Most of the Talismans are of the Common Level and six above that. Hence, if we were to pick the best Talisman in God of War, it is among these six that outstand all others. Here is the best Talisman to use in the game.
God of War’s Best Talisman
Here is the list of the best Talisman in God of War with a brief description of each of them as to why we think they are better than others that the game has to offer.
- Talisman Of Cursed Power
- Amulet of Kvasir
- Sinmara’s Cinder
- The Golden Talisman of Protection
- Horn Of Heimdall
- Shattered Gauntlet of Ages
Talisman of Cursed Power – Best Talisman in God of War
The Talisman of Cursed Power is arguably the best talisman in God of War due to its ability of weakening enemies. The description of the Talisman is “Unleash a wave of Cursed Mist instantly weakens all surrounding enemies by lowering their overall stats.” But, getting hold of the Talisman of Cursed Power is easier said than done. As it’s the strongest, it’s also very difficult to obtain.
You can get the Talisman of Cursed Power in Niflheim and the resources required to upgrade the Talisman are also found in the same realm and it’s several hard-to-find resources.
With the Talisman, the enemies’ stats are greatly diminished, which makes Kratos more powerful against those enemies making the fight easy.
Amulet of Kvasir – Best Talisman in God of War
Next up, we have the Amulet of Kvasir. You can find the Amulet of Kvasir in Alfheim in the Light Elf Sanctuary. This talisman is great when you take on faster enemies and are unable to keep. The effect of the Talisman is to slow downtime for a few seconds whenever the player performs a perfect dodge. It gives you just enough time to counterattack. This ability of the Amulet of Kvasir is called Realm Shift. The best place to use this amulet is during your fights with Valkyries.
Sinmara’s Cinder – Best Talisman in God of War
Sinmara’s Cinder deals regular and burning damage to the enemies that come in its radius. You can get the Sinmara’s Cinder when you are in Muspelheim. One of the things that make this talisman great is the ability to take less damage as the scorching fire surrounds Kratos. Most of the effects of the talisman last for 8 seconds, but the Sinmara’s Cinder exceeds that, which makes it a contender for the best talisman in God of War.
The Golden Talisman of Protection
The Golden Talisman of Protection is a defensive talisman as it allows you to recover faster and also boosts the defense when you block. The talisman also increases the time you have to parry projectiles and attacks. You can get the Golden Talisman of Protection from the Stone Falls area.
So, these are the best Talismans in God of War. Most of the talisman in the game has some use or the other, so getting any one of the top six can help you greatly in fights.
