There are 8 hidden talismans in Minecraft Dungeons 2, each in a fixed spot, though three only show up if the right dungeon room or rift wall generates. Collect all 8 and a secret door opens in Howling Woods that leads to the Mosstrosity boss, who drops the ninth talisman, Wonderful Wheat. This page lists every talisman location, what each does where known, and how to farm the random ones. Details come from launch-week play, so check the last section for what is still unclear.

| Glowstone Flask | Overworld dungeons | Light all 4 fireplaces in one room | Yes |
| Ocelot’s Paw | Overworld rifts | Secret wall inside a rift | Yes |
| Soul Chip | Dungeon in The Sift | Hidden chest under a walk-on platform | Yes |
| Medallion of Momentum | Humbler Huskland | Secret platforming area with a cliff chest | No |

| Wonderful Wheat | Howling Woods | Reward for beating the Mosstrosity | Boss drop |
Where are all the secret talismans?
They are grouped by region below. Pick-ups show as “Secret Talisman (n/8)” in the feed, so you can track your count as you go. Locations match for every player, but dungeon and rift entrances change, which is why three of them need luck.
Rainy Plains and Lullaby Hills
Thrifty Pendant
Head to Rainy Plains and look for a small sand island out in the water. Cross the stepping stones to reach it and open the chest. It is the easiest of the set, so grab it first. The Rainy Plains page shows the region.
Worth equipping? It adds a damage bonus of up to 25% that grows with the emeralds you carry, capping at 7,000. Good if you sit on a big pile, dead weight if you spend as you go.
Emerald of Good Fortune
Fast travel to the minecart station by Lullaby Hills, then enter the part of The Sift next to it. Fight through the dark teal ruin with glowing blue edges. A short fight near the end includes a carry-a-mob pickup, and the chest after it gives the talisman.
Its effect is not confirmed yet.
Humbler Huskland and The Sift
Medallion of Momentum
This one is a secret area in Humbler Huskland. Find the rainbow-colored block section first, then climb the long teal cliff wall to a green glowing exit. Two red chests sit on the cliff, and one holds the talisman. Take it slowly: the climb punishes sloppy jumps.
Worth equipping? You get 10% movement speed after moving for more than 3 seconds. Useful for kiting and travel, less so for stationary builds. Try it on a roll-and-shoot kiter.
Soul Chip
Find a dungeon in The Sift. Inside, look for a couple of jump pads and a platform you can simply walk onto. Stepping on it reveals a hidden chest with the talisman. The layout does not always generate, so expect a few runs.
Worth equipping? It gives 15% more Soul capacity, which suits artifact-heavy builds.
Overworld dungeons and rifts
Glowstone Flask
Run overworld dungeons until you hit a room with four lit fireplace-like objects. Interact with all four and the talisman appears in a chest. If the room never shows, leave and try another dungeon.
Worth equipping? At tier III your potion cooldown is 35% shorter, a fine pick if you lean on healing.
Ocelot’s Paw
Enter any overworld rift and look for a secret wall. Players report it in a red and orange canyon rift, with the entrance near Honeycomb Fields. The wall looks the same for everyone, but the rift has to roll it. The talisman sits in a chest behind the wall.
Worth equipping? Jumping melee attacks deal bonus damage, scaling with tier. Numbers are not published, so treat it as a pick for jump-attack builds like the jump attack crit bruiser.
Howling Woods and Frozen Highlands
Amethyst Lens
Go to Howling Woods at night. Beat the Witch, then climb the waterfall parkour up the grassy cubes. Follow the lantern ledge on the cliff, and a red chest on a high dirt ledge holds the talisman. The Howling Woods page has the area layout.
Its effect is not confirmed yet.
Lucky Clover
In Frozen Highlands, enter the Library Towers dungeon, a soul-corrupted Evoker fight with a glowing yellow door and a long blue staircase. The chest is on top of a tall scaffolded pillar near the end. Players also describe an overworld route from the Frozen Highlands town: climb the ramparts, drop down, clear the enemy on a platform and use the jump board. More on the area at Frozen Highlands.
Worth equipping? Players report a 2% chance of bonus loot drops at the base level, rising with talisman level. Pair it with the loot tips in the farming guide.
How do you unlock the Mosstrosity boss?
Pick up the eighth talisman and a message says a secret door has opened in the world. Load into Howling Woods and you are teleported to the Hidden Grove, where an ambush wave waits. Clear it, then enter the Lush Caves dungeon in the Hidden Grove area to reach the arena: a mossy grove of red flowers with a giant moss golem.
Watch for a big spinning moss disc, a ground slam with a red telegraph, and a wide circular attack that flashes yellow. Bring a heal and a shield-type ability. Beating it shows “Boss Defeated, New Talisman” and drops Wonderful Wheat, plus high-power gear. For general boss tactics, see the boss guide.
How do you farm the random talismans?
Three talismans depend on a room or wall generating, so the trick is to re-roll the layout. Players report that dungeon and rift entrances change on each login or each day, while the rest of the overworld stays identical. Closed dungeon doors mean that area has not regenerated yet.
- Relog or wait for the daily change, then open the map.
- For Glowstone Flask, clear a fresh overworld dungeon and look for the four-fireplace room.
- For Soul Chip, do the same in The Sift and check for the jump pad platform.
- For Ocelot’s Paw, enter a rift and look for the secret wall. Skip rifts that do not show it.
- If the room is missing, leave and repeat. Expect several attempts.
Dungeon runs also feed your gear, so none of it is wasted. For how talismans work as a slot and what pet talismans do, read the dog companion talisman guide.
