Talismans are powerful socketable items in Path of Exile 2 that grant unique and rare bonuses when inserted into martial weapons and armor. They work the same way as runes and soul cores but come with their own enchantment effects. Talismans are bound to a specific type of equipment and cannot be removed once socketed, though they can be replaced. These items primarily drop from monsters possessed by different types of Azmeri spirits.
