Elden Ring offers a wide variety of unique talismans to enhance your builds. These talismans can boost stats, increase elemental damage, enhance sorceries, improve damage negation, and much more. While most talismans are combat-oriented, some aid in survival and exploration of the Lands Between. One such talisman is the Crimson Seed, which lets you recover extra HP from drinking Crimson Flasks.

Losing HP is a common experience in Elden Ring, as many enemies can take you down with just a few hits. For this reason, players might end up using Crimson Flasks too frequently, leaving them short in two-phased boss fights like those against Godfrey, Malenia, and the final boss. If you want to save some Crimson Flasks, the Crimson Seed talisman is a must-have in Elden Ring.

Follow this guide to learn about the location of the Crimson Seed in Elden Ring.

What the Crimson Seed Talisman Does in Elden Ring

Elden Ring - Crimson seed talisman description

The Crimson Seed is a simple and easy-to-use talisman in Elden Ring. When equipped, this talisman increases the HP recovered by a Flask of Crimson Tears by 20%. The best thing about the Crimson Seed talisman is that you won’t have to keep a talisman slot assigned for it. You can equip this talisman only when you need to restore HP, then switch it with your regular talismans.

The Crimson Seed talisman is especially handy in PVP fights. When invading another player in Elden Ring, you may face multiple enemies waiting for you. If you fail to manage your number of Flasks of Crimson Tears, you may lose the fight. Using the Crimson Seed talisman, you can recover extra HP every time you drink a Flask of Crimson Tears. However, relying solely on this talisman isn’t highly recommended. It is better to carry a basic healing incantation like Bestial Vitality or the Blessed Dew Talisman for overtime healing.
