ALL ELDEN RING STARTING ITEM KEEPSAKES EXPLAINED
9 Keepsakes are in Elden Ring
- Crimson Amber Medallion
- Lands between Rune
- Golden Seed
- Fanged Imp Ashes
- Cracked pot
- Stone sword Key
- Bewitching Branch
- Boil Prawn
- Shabir’s Woe
All 9 items are available in The Countries Between. It is recommended that you choose the best one for your needs based on what time of day you play. These sections will explain exactly what each Keepsake does and how they perform in the early game.
CRIMSON AMBER MEDALLION
This Keepsake increases a character’s maximum health by 6%. It basically means that you can take another hit before your death. You will probably find many more useful Talismans than you like, as it takes up only one Talisman slot. If you’re nervous about combat, the Crimson Amber Medallion makes a great start item. It can be found at the lake east of the Church of Elleh in the Dragon-Burnt Ruins. You can also find stronger versions of the Talisman later in the game.
LANDS BETWEEN RUNE
To level up, you can consume Golden Runes. You can find them all over the map and they come with different Rune values. The Lands Between Rune Keepsake works in the same way as those above, but it is worth 4000 Runes. It is worth 2 to 3 levels depending on your level.

You can find more Golden Seeds in The Lands Between, which can help increase your Flask charge even further. With each upgrade, however, the required number of Golden Seeds will increase. The Golden Seed is an excellent Keepsake in Elden Ring. It gives players a huge advantage from the beginning.
FANGED IMP LASHES
Spirit Ashes enable you to summon a spirit ally or group of allies to assist you in combat. They can heal, attack, or act as a distraction. The Spirit Calling Bell is required to use the Fanged Imp Ashes. This starting item is not the best. This item can be found early, but it is easy to miss. You will also receive a Spirit Ash along with the summoning bell.
The Fanged Imp Ashes can be used to distract enemies. However, you can still get it later from the Isolated merchant for 2000 Runes. He can be found on the eastern road of the Main Academy Gates Site of Grace, in the Liguria of the Lakes. You can mu
