Talismans

All five Talisman grades.

Talismans are special items in Gravity Rush 2 obtained by either mining, defeating certain enemies, completing specific missions, completing online Treasure Hunts and events, or forging (unlocked later in the game). They serve to power up Kat's various abilities, and only up to three talismans, each bearing a maximum of three attributes, can be equipped from the main menu. Moreover, talismans that have been favorited (selected with the ❏ button) will appear in the order they were favorited in the beginning rows of the list of talismans.

Talisman effects range from specializing Kat's combat to conditionally improving her performance. As there is a massive number of attributes to be unlocked and equipped, this allows for great freedom in tailoring a play-style to any one mission or challenge.

The talisman stones that are only found in mining sites, before they are appraised and usable.

In mining, talismans appear as talisman stones after breaking gravity ore deposits, which are green stones of various sizes that can appear on the ground, walls, and ceilings in any mining location. The stones consist of three possible types and five possible grades, which are then converted to usable talismans upon revisiting the Banga mining ship or explorer's mining boat - either after a mining trip or after an excursion in the Delvool Trench Mine.

The three types of stones that can be mined are Flower, Shell, and Seed. Flower stones are shaped like crescents, and are equipped in the top slot of the Talisman menu. They bear attributes useful to Lunar style. Shell stones are roughly spherical and are equipped in the middle slot of the Talisman menu. They bear attributes useful to Normal style. Lastly, Seed stones are triangular and are equipped in the bottom slot of the Talisman menu. They bear attributes useful to Jupiter style.

Furthermore, the six grades are Dull, Rough, Bright, Shiny, Radiant, and Brilliant - in increasing rarity - and the colors of the talismans mined also correspond to these grades. Dull stone talismans are blue, rough stone talismans are green, bright stone talismans are red, shiny stone talismans are bright orange, radiant stone talismans are whitey purple, and brilliant stone talismans are white.

After returning to Hekseville, Kat can visit Pandora's Fortunes to have non-premium talismans merged, morphed, or recycled.

Gift Fragment Talismans

Upon completing all 50 layers of the Delvool Trench Mine, Kat will have the option to visit it again via a gravity storm. However, only the challenges ("Defeat the enemy") on layers 10, 20, 26-30, and 46-50 will be replayable at this point. Completing them again will yield talismans with some of the nine Gift Fragment attributes. As these talismans can be merged, morphed, and recycled at Pandora's Fortunes, it is possible to equip all nine fragments at once. It should be noted that this will take several successful reattempts at the aforementioned layers of the Delvool Trench Mine, as item drops are random.

Equipping all nine Gift Fragment talisman attributes at once increases Kat's Stasis stock limit to nine objects, improves offensive and defensive capabilities, and halves consumption of the gravity gauge.

Merging, Morphing, and Recycling

Merging

Two talismans can be merged in Pandora's Fortunes by placing them in two corresponding slots in Pandora's Fortunes. If enough attributes are available, the player can choose up to three attributes to keep between the two talismans, which will then be carried over to a new talisman. All unused attributes from the parent talismans will be discarded. This is useful for stacking attribute effects, such as shifting speed, gravity gauge consumption, or attack strength.

Merging talismans is a very effective method for customizing mined talismans, as several rare effects can be combined into one ready-to-use talisman - as opposed to relying on Premium Talismans.

Morphing

Three talismans of the same shape and with one attribute in common can be morphed into one talisman of a different shape, with the same attribute. For example, three Flower stones with the "Destroyer [L]" attribute can be morphed into a Shell or Seed stone with the same Lunar-specific attribute.

Morphing talismans is useful if the player has several of the same attribute restricted to one talisman shape. Through this method, attributes commonly found on certain shapes can be given to naturally incompatible shapes - further stacking attribute effects.

Recycling

Five talismans can be sacrificed to produce a talisman of a random shape with entirely different attributes. The rarer the attributes of the talismans sacrificed, the stronger the likelihood of receiving rarer, newer attributes in the product. However, this is not guaranteed.

Recycling talismans is useful if the player mines often, accruing a large quantity of talismans with similar attributes. Sacrificing five of these may yield a talisman with a new attribute, which can potentially be used to merge with others for a customized talisman.
