00:05 Elden Ring keepsakes are a key part of character creation that give your
00:09 tarnished hero a small boost from a little magical item you can pick at the
00:12 start. They all do different things so your
00:14 choice can affect how you'll progress with some kind of passive buff, special
00:17 ability or benefit. But what are the best options and do you
00:20 even need one? Well, yes, you need all the help you can get here. This is a From
00:23 Software game we're talking about, so we highly recommend you pick one as
00:27 they have no drawbacks. It's free help. However, some of these keepsakes can also
00:31 be found in the lands between as you explore or can be bought later from
00:34 merchants, so this isn't your only chance to get one, which obviously might change
00:38 your choices. So let's take a look at what's on offer
00:41 and what's worth picking. Crimson Amber Medallion. This medallion
00:44 gives you a bump to your maximum health and that is
00:46 always useful regardless of your skill level and class. It's basically a must
00:50 pick for beginners and particularly good for classes with low vigor stats and
00:54 therefore lower starting health. Golden Seed. This is a consumable item
00:58 you can use at the site of grace to give yourself an extra use of your healing
01:01 sacred flask and effectively start the game with five flask uses instead of
01:06 four. It's another keepsake that's useful for
01:08 all players and it's definitely a good choice for a beginner player who might
01:11 benefit from being able to heal more. However, it is a resource you can find
01:15 freely in the world so this isn't your only chance to get one.
01:18 Lands Between Rune. Runes are your XP currency and this consumable item will
01:22 give you a decent number of runes right at the start.
01:24 Once you're able to level up this can fast track any character builds you
01:27 might have in mind with a few extra free levels.
01:30 Fanged Imp Ashes. This is a free Elden Ring spirit ash which lets you summon
01:34 NPCs to fight by your side. In this case a couple of imps. This can
01:38 be used as many times as you like but can only be used once you've got the
01:41 spirit calling bell item so you won't be able to use it right away.
01:44 Cracked Pot. You can get two cracked pots right off the bat if you choose them for
01:48 your starting keepsake. These pots are used in the crafting of
01:50 throwable bombs and never break so you just have to keep filling them with
01:53 ingredients to have a constant supply of explosives.
01:56 Stoneswood Key. These stone keys can be used in certain locks to break seals that
02:00 hide away treasure and more. The keys break once they've been used but
02:03 you can find more out in the world once you're exploring.
02:06 Bewitching Branch. This will give you five consumable branches that release a
02:10 short-range pink fog that can charm enemies.
02:12 Any enemies in this fog will stop attacking you, sheathe their weapons if
02:15 they have any and go on with their day. Boiled Prawn. This gives you five bits of
02:20 prawn meat you can consume to temporarily boost your physical damage
02:23 resistance, meaning you'll take less damage from
02:25 physical weapon attacks while the prawn's buff is active.
02:28 Shabriri's Woe. This gross head constantly attracts the aggression of
02:32 enemies in Elden Ring. We really don't know why you would want
02:35 this keepsake as it's basically asking for trouble in a world that wants you
02:38 dead anyway. So that is a look at all the keepsakes
02:41 in Elden Ring and any we recommend picking. If you need any more help with
02:44 the game don't forget to like and subscribe to GamesRadar.
