A Talisman in Elden Ring called the Crimson Amber Medallion increases a person’s maximum HP pool by 6%. This talisman comes in two improved versions that increase the HP stat by an additional 7% and 8%, respectively. While at first look these numbers might not seem like much, if used prior to reaching the soft cap of Vigor 60, they offer a sizable increase in Health. The Crimson Amber Medallion, for instance, may be equipped by Tarnished constructs with Vigor 55 to raise their maximum HP from 1814 to 1950, which is equivalent to almost 13 Levels. Naturally, there will be a time during a playthrough when the maximum HP will generally be irrelevant. These advantages, however, are sufficient to stop some enemy strikes from one- or two-shotting a player.
By purchasing the Talisman from the Nomadic Merchant of the Weeping Peninsula for 1,500 Runes, one can easily obtain the base form of the Crimson Amber Medallion in Elden Ring. This NPC can be found at the Castle Morne Rampart Site of Grace, close to where the Night’s Cavalry spawns and where they drop the Nightrider Flail and Ash of War: Barricade Shield.
When playing through Elden Ring, the Crimson Amber Medallion +1 is unlocked much later than the original version. Tarnished must acquire access to Volcano Manor’s outside space, a vast mansion perched atop Mt. Gelmir in the Altus Plateau, in order to obtain the +1 version. Players can access this outside space after joining the manor’s clan and when Headmistress Tanith has given them the Drawing-Room Key.
