Marika's Soreseal | Elden Ring Wiki

I should call her

Submit

Doing all this at level 40 sucks. I just wanna make a pvp build broo

Submit

why would they not put this the the church by leyndell next to the magma wyrm?? by the time you find this, you’ve fought your way through and changed your build enough to tank damage anyway.

Submit

Weird location for the talisman.
I mean, radagon's soreseal is easily pickable.
Maybe a lore implication? Not sure.

Submit

"Say this looks like it'll work great on my low level bu-" *sees where to find it* "oh... ok"

Submit

by the time you get this it is almost useless in 90% of cases. strange decision.

Submit

I wanna taste this so bad.

Submit

Twink invasion builds are a reward. You must first struggle the entire game in order to bully other people.
This is fair, and people saying otherwise are wrong.

Submit

Sure let's put this at the very end of the game so no one doing lv1 runs can get it lol

Submit

Great for a Scarlet Rot early invasion build using Rotten Crystal Spear, Antspur, Stinger and Rotten Decay, as you need Arcane, Faith and Intelligence but don't need to commit in any of them if you choose Warrior as starting class. Put some dexterity so your Antspur Rapier, Stinger and Rotten Crystal Spear also scale well. No need to surpass the 10 Strength which is perfect. Go and be toxic to new players, literally.

Submit

If you're not using more than 15 of the points it gives, I would recommend against it because I don't think the absorption penalty is worth it (the absorption penalty and stat increase balance out, but you also lose a talisman slot that could potentially be very helpful). And I definitely wouldn't recommend pairing this with Radagon's, I don't know if the absorption penalty is multiplicative or if it just ends up being too much, but enemy attacks end up being very powerful with both talismans AND your healing's effectiveness is also reduced in consequence, it's just an awful time because this game is already very demanding on HP especially mid to late game.

Submit

put this in the place of whatever generic healing miracle is in marikas bed before morgott and there'll be a guaranteed increase in its use

Submit

You are far better off doing parkour than attempting to run past like 15 revenants. It’s easy parkour, literally the most difficult thing you have to do is a jump, probably a running jump

Submit

that goes in my oracle envoy build

Submit

i wish you could use the scarseals with the soreseals, an 8 increase in those stats wouldve been awesome

Submit

Jump into the wall where the putrid avatar is/was patrolling, go to the wall where the blocked door is and jump to your right. You'll land above the room where the scarseal is. Drop down, go through the door, get the scarseal, tp back to the site of grace. No revenant to deal with.

Submit

You can get to it while ignoring the revenants, just use Opaline hardtear and Crimson burst crystal tear to ignore the damage along with full bull-goat armor and mimic tear (mine is +10, not sure if anything lower than +8 would work). If you don't have the endurance to not be overloaded use erdtree's favor (also helps with the hp boost) and arsenal charm/great jar charm. Blessed dew Talisman and Viridian Amber medallion help too. I used these and just rushed past all the revenants, killed em with moon veil after I got the talisman since my mimic tear got them low. Even with only 30 vigor you can do it

Why tf is this in the haligtree and radagons is in caelid ?????

Submit

A god-like talisman for twinks. This and frenzy magic will 100-0 low level players

Submit

really wish replies werent busted so i could yell at the guy who commented on oct 13 2022. fextra admins must understand how important it is to yell at people who are wrong on the internet. please fix

Submit

There is one use for this: Use it for the Int, Faith, and Mind to cast some buffs you are 5 points shy of meeting the requirements for, then swap it for another Talisman before you start fighting.

Submit

Reeee 15%!

I get to have 30% more stamina and only lose 5% negation over not using this with the higher tier armor, along with access to the best sorceries and incantations. Fantastic talisman.

Submit

This might actually explain why the Elden ring was shattered

Submit

It now only increases stats by 3 each not 5.

Submit

I found this in Siofra River. After fighting the Dragonkin Soldier, I moved to the waterfall that was close by, and there it was. No need to go to Haligtree.

Submit

****ing revenants who designed these ****ing guys

Submit

Seems like this items is more about lore than usefulness. Last line sounds like she stole it!

Submit

This is generally worse than Radagons because at most you’re only going to benefit from 3 stats at most, not all 4, and usually 2. Mind is good for any caster, but unless you’re going Faith/Int or Faith/Arcane, you’re not going to benefit from the stats. It’s better to use Radagons and use the points you’re no longer putting into Str/Dex/Hp/Stam into your casting stat, especially where it can help you meet weapon requirements.

Submit

Marika's Soreseal sure makes me sore. You have to go through one of the worst sections of the game, NEAR the end of the game, to get an item that gives you pseudo 20 levels...when you're already at a high level. The stats gained are nowhere worth the extra damage you take by the time you're in Haligtree, unless you're doing a run to see how quickly Malenia can kill you.

Meanwhile you can get Radagon's Soreseal within the first 10 minutes of the game, where the bonus stats are at their highest value.

The item placement in Elden Ring continues to confuse me.

Submit

Because of it's location; this is the worst talisman in the game, maybe except some challange runs. Would've been a good talisman if it was in a location you could get without needing to nearly finish the game.

Submit

****in fromsoft man. I swear to god, what even is this ****. Why even have it in the game. Nobody gives a **** about these 4 attributes when you get oneshot a kilometer away by a goddamn bear that so much as breathes on you.

Submit

I dont wanna go to the haligtree just for more int:(

Submit

Besides running past the revenants, I found that the easiest way to get through them is to use heal incantations. Even on my RL1 run with the base heal spell, I could 2 shot the revenants with it as they spawned in. The stun from the first cast gives you enough time for the second.

Submit

If you're having trouble getting through the Revenant gauntlet to pick this up, just use Unseen Form sorcery (16 INT req; need to solve a tower puzzle in Altus). Start from the Inner Wall grace, make yourself all ghosty, sneak past the knights, down the ladder. Revenants will still spawn but they won't attack as long as you keep walking while invisible and keep some distance. DO NOT crouch run or they'll aggro, only walk. Make sure to reapply Unseen Form when necessary.

Submit

This will allow a RL1 Wretch to use Rot Breath without any other boosting equipment.

Submit

Level 1 build. Soon as your level 2 unequip.

Submit

It's worth noting as long as you have Dragoncrest Shield Talisman +1 or better, it practically fully negates the physical damage increase. So if you really want to keep your soreseal on (and a scarseal of the other if you are feeling daring), equip the dragoncrest shield talisman +1/+2 or dragoncrest greatshield talisman with it.

Submit

Does this potentially have a use for very low vigor glass cannon builds?
If you pump enough points into vigor during the sweetspot levels it will it add enough HP to negate the damage?

Submit

I was just writing up about how this could be useful late game for a death sorcerer... It's not as appealing after doing the math. My build is getting around a 15% increase in FP, a 6% spell buff boost, a 1% weapon damage boost, and probably around 5% increase to the consumables I use (I'm not interested in doing the math there.) It's not useless and has more merit than it gets credit for, but probably a good idea to swap it out post level 100.

Aside from a pure melee character with very low faith/int in a build needing this in rare PvE only cases to access various spells for adapting to a situation this is useless and meant purely for trading onto other early game characters as it is simply gotten far too late and is too weak at that point.

Submit

What taking 15% damage really means: you have 15% less HP, your flasks heal 15% less, and you need to heal 15% more often. Unless you need the stats for requirements, don't use these things.

Submit

tbh Soreseals making you take 15% more dmg makes them more suited towards the earlygame. with me always getting Radagon's Soreseal as my first talisman on every run I do, there's little reason to use them beyond level ~75-80. Since by which time you'd have reached the thresholds for baseline requirements already, All I have to do is sacrifice a little elden bling until I get more endurance.(along with the psychological effect of having a smaller health bar but more effective HP) besides that the endgame bosses do so much damage that making them do any more than they already do is just setting yourself up for a slip-up oneshot.

When this talisman is only accessible at the fking haligtree, why not just use the normal +5 heirlooms for the stat you actually want? especially in terms of INT, since graven mass+stargazer gives you the optimal setup compared to something like the soreseal and magic/holy/lightning scorpion charm, which also contend for a talisman spot while nuking your dmg resist.

If this talisman wasn't locked behind 80% of the whole game there's probably be a use case for it.

Submit

Wish you could get this earlier like radagons.

Submit

The "Why am I getting two-shot?" starter pack

*has less Vigor than 60*
*wearing Radagon's/Marika's Soreseal*
*two-handing colossal weapon*
"Armor doesn't matter in Elden Ring"

Submit

Excuse my noobness, but as someone who spends a significant amount of time trying not to die, and goes around looking for talismans to increase defense...
Why would anyone equip one of these that reduce defense? Want more attributes? Level up.

Submit

When I was inside the room and tried to fight the grafted scion outside, the revenant teleported inside the room. Don’t trust those instructions telling you that you are safe to fight the grafted scion once you are inside the room. It’s Elden Ring.

Submit

I don’t get why it’s saying it’s not worth it late game? The whole reason to use this talisman is to make the game a bit harder while also getting a nice bonus, like the scorpion charms, and 5 levels is really valuable late game to three stats, if I need just a little bit extra faith or arcane I need a **** ton of runes I have to farm to get that, same with radagon, it doesn’t make it not worth it because you take more damage, seems like a biased opinion in wiki tbh

Submit

Just go to the Prayer Room, step outside, hop down onto to the roof on your right, then hop down from your left right to gargoyle door.

Submit

"A player who replaces their soreseal with a mere crimson amber medallion will not only have 8% more hp, but also deal 15% more damage" ... Uh, what? How does the crimson amber medallion make you deal 15% more damage?

Submit

Circle the city until you find the thing. Great advice. You can be proud of yourself.

Submit

Dont follow the "safer" path. It is not safer.

Submit

Interestingly, both of Marika's seals seem to represent her when we first see her when entering the Erdtree

Submit

Feel like this should have a slightly lower hp penalty than radagon's, since it doesn't mitigate some of the hp loss with increased vigor for health or endurance for armour.

Submit

On top of Silver Scarab + Silver Tear Mask for farming this, don't forget to use Godrick rune and Marika Soreseal for an extra 10+ Arcane.

Submit

Would be cool lore wise if equipping both radagon’s and marikia’s gave you the penalty for one instead of both, maybe you only unlock this via goldmask’s quest line or something or it becomes a flat 20% damage penalty

Submit

Why you can get the radagon's soreseal which is geared towards melee immediately at the start of the game but this one which is geared towards casters on literal end game? Stat wise radagons has a much better distribution too. I would rather have this increase vigor instead of useless arcane. Feels so unfair

Did they change the location of this? I unlocked this room 100% and I 100% dont' have that talisman.

Submit

People keep saying that it's fair that this is only available way late in the game, because there's all sorts of amazing early game sorcery items out there. But you mustn't forget, us incant builds exist too.

Submit

Basic damage with talisman equipped.
22 damage simple foot soldier no yalisman, 24 with ragadon equipped , 27 with both ragadon and marika equipped.

Submit

This is not only found in the location listed above, one can be found earlier in Nokron City via Sofria River Bank, a teleporter and then little hidden boss I guess lol

Submit

1. This room only requires 1 Stonesword Key to open
2. It's a fslightly urther but MUCH safer run to start at the Prayer Room site of grace, rather than fight 4 frickin Revenants and some Haligtree Knights....

Submit

Just go from the Prayer Room grace to the southern end of the bridge that has the Erdtree Avatar. You can jump down on top of the room with the talisman, and then down to the imp statue. Only one grafted guy spawns but he didnt even see me.

Submit

i mean, technically this doesnt reduce damage negation by a true 10%, as you get negation increases from upping your stats, right?

Submit

Geez it is really annoying how gear for casters is placed in the most higher level or bizarre locations.

Submit

Highly recommend taking a Heal incantation with you if you can. It’ll instantly stagger the freaky arm guys, whatever they’re called.

Submit

"Be careful of enemies" Yeah ****ing right. Two tanky-ass haligtree knights that have flasks and blessings (don't get the ballista operator's attention or they'll constantly interrupt your attacks with the haligtree knights) while watching out for the other ballistas posted on the left side, TWO of those freakish teleporting amalgams with several arms that won't let you get a single hit in and deal a ton of damage, and THREE Crystalian summons that take forever to break their stances (not to mention if you get hit by one of their heavy attacks you get procced with rot).

Probably more frustrating than any boss fight ever.

Submit

There's also the scarseal in the other part of Sofria river, the part high up, where you go underneath the bridge rather than over it when you first enter the area where you would begin to light the fires. It's next to a giant Soldier, underneath a water fall, next to where the Great Oracular Bubble is located.

Submit

Essential for mixed int/faith casters

Submit

If you'd rather fight 1 revenant than 12, you can get here from the Prayer Room grace. Jump onto the railing on the right, then onto the large supporting brace leading to the outer wall. Drop down onto the pillar, try not to aggro the Avatar, drop down onto the wall and head right (grab the smithing stone if you haven't yet) and drop down onto the roof of the imp-sealed room. One revenant will still spawn as soon as you drop to street level, but you can just summon a spirit to tank while you open the door and nab the seal.

Submit

Since the path from the bonfire is tough, i recommend going from the prayers room grace and rolling down to the left right outside the room, then a bit ahead jumping on the pillar and then on the bridge with the Erdtree omen. From there jump on the lower ledge of the pillar and you can safely get to the imp statue

Submit

I believe it still very much worth using but not a must have like Radagon's Seals. Radagon's Seals can cancel their debuff because they offer health increase too but Marika's counterpart offers only weapon scaling and bonus FP.

Submit

Of course the melee counterpart to this is found much earlier.

Submit

Does the penalty work the same in pvp?

Submit

Marika's and Radagon's Soreseal = 40 additional stats = 40 additional levels.
You can also make use of the Dragoncrest Shield Talisman to get ~17% of your physical defense back.

Submit

these soreseals, the erdtree one that boost stats basically allow for level level twinking.

Submit

Considering the bosses you need to beat just to be in the same zone as the item, you are simply not getting this item for your low level twinks lol

Submit

You can equip both Radagon and Marika's Scareseals at the same time.

Submit

Does this affect your level for invasions?

Submit

does this stack with marika's scarseal? or are they mutually exclusive like radagon's scar and sore are?

Submit

sorry mybad its a different item. Similar to Marikas SCARSEAL

Submit

its a +3 not 5

Submit

does this give +5 to the stats?

Submit

damage across radagon's soreseal and marika's soreseal appears basically negligible. It's like a 12% at maximum boss-tier damage increase. You're likely to die in the exact same amount of hits, regardless of the damage intake debuff. Wouldn't be sure exactly how damage increase scales once you put both talismans on but my wager is that it doesn't matter. So, free stats.

Submit

ideal for early playthrough not when you're after Atlus or fighting those glintstone mages spamming glint spells

Submit

So if I equip this and the other soreseal…

Submit

does somebody know the math? How much you take more damage?

Submit

Seems very good for Incanters, since some Incantations require Intelligence and Arcane for requirements, the stats those provide are still pretty worth.
