Okay, so I’ve been trying to get my sword swings faster in Elden Ring. I’m not the best player, and I figured a little extra speed could help me out. So, I went on a hunt for this “talisman for increasing sword speed”. Let’s see how that went.
My Quest for Speed
First, I just started messing around, trying different things. I put on lighter armor, thinking maybe that would do it. Nope, didn’t really feel any different.

Then, I figured, “Hey, there’s gotta be something specific, right?” So, I went exploring! I started checking all those little caves and dungeons I’d skipped before. Killed a bunch of weird enemies, found some useless stuff… still no speed boost.
After a while, I got a little smarter. I started looking at the stats on my weapons. I found one that had the name “Agility.”
I equipped it and tried it out. I could have sworn my character was moving a little faster, not in terms of sword swings per se, but it helped me dodge.
- Experimenting with Gear: Tried lighter armor, different weapons – still no luck.
- Dungeon Diving: Explored those creepy caves – found some junk, but no speed talisman.
- Stat Searching: Finally read the stats of the items carefully.
It’s probably not the “magic bullet” I was hoping for, but everything makes a difference.
I’ll keep experimenting and if I found something great, I will share it with you guys!
