All Talismans in Minecraft Dungeons II — The New Passive Gear

What are talismans?

Talismans are Minecraft Dungeons II’s new gear type — passive-effect equipment that didn’t exist in the first game. Equip a talisman and its effect is always on; effects scale across levels 1–3, so duplicates and upgrades push a talisman’s power higher.

How many are there?

24 talismans in the launch-build data — including a set of secret talismans hidden off the main path. That makes talismans the smallest gear family but the most build-defining, since a passive effect is active every second of a fight.

How do they fit the 12-slot loadout?

Talismans share your combat slots with weapons, armor, and artifacts. The exact slot split between artifacts and talismans isn’t officially itemized — file reads suggest three each — but the practical rule is simple: every talisman slot is a passive you don’t have to think about mid-fight.

How do you build around talismans?

• Pick a passive that matches your weapon’s weakness. Squishy ranged build? Defensive talismans first.
• Level them. A level-3 talisman is a different item from its level-1 version — prioritize repeats.
• Hunt the secrets. The hidden talismans are off the quest line — check rifts and out-of-the-way corners per the regions map.

We’re verifying each talisman’s effect line by line — the per-item list grows as entries are confirmed.
