Health is perhaps the most important stat in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. While not being able to kill an enemy in a reasonable number of hits sucks, it doesn't feel good to get one-shot by a normal enemy either. That's why increasing your Vigor should be one of the first things you do when you start your tarnished journey.

Which Elden Ring Ash of War is the Most Useful?

The 'best' ash of war varies depending on which weapon is being talked about. That being said, the Savage Lion's Claw on the Blacksteel Greathammer is one of the most broken combinations I've found in the DLC. Savage Lion's Claw is the better version of Lion's Claw, which as already one of the most dependable AoWs in the base game.

Getting enough runes to level up can be difficult at higher levels. That's where talismans come to your rescue. If you need a nice boost to your health pool but can't afford to allocate that many runes just to survive one extra hit, then the Crimson Amber Medallion +3 can help you out. Here's what it does, and where to find it.

Crimson Amber Medallion +3 Talisman Effects & Tips

A medallion with crimson amber inlaid.

Boosts maximum HP by the utmost.

The Erdtree's old sap becomes amber, treasured as the most precious of jewels in the age of Godfrey, the first Elden Lord.

These medallions, of the largest variety, were conferred to Godwyn's inner circle of distinguished golden knights.

The Crimson Amber Medallion +3 is a new Talisman in Shadow of the Erdtree that increases the total health of the player. The Crimson Amber Medallion +3 Talisman weight is 0.3.

The Crimson Amber Medallion +3 Talisman specifically increases the health of the player by 10%. Having more health is always good for the player, and the Crimson Amber Medallion +3 gives the player a lot more health. At higher Vigor stats, 10% can mean the difference between five hits or seven hits before dying. But even if your vigor is low, having an extra 10% can help you take a hit or two from a boss.
