Our useful guide on how to use Talismans and what they do in Ghostwire Tokyo will give you the necessary knowledge.

All Talismans in Ghostwire Tokyo

The various talismans found in the game have different uses, and can be invaluable in the right situation. There are four types, broken down into Stun, Exposure, Decoy, and Thicket talismans.

Stun Talisman

This can be used to stop Visitors from moving. Any enemies caught within its radius will be zapped with electricity, and open them up to attacks without retaliation. However, do note that some stronger enemies will not be affected.

Exposure Talisman

By using this Talisman, it can instantly expose the cores of weaker enemies within its radius, and make stronger enemies more likely to have their cores exposed. This is extremely useful in dealing with crowds of weaker Visitors.

Decoy Talisman

Decoy talismans are used to create noise that will draw the attention of your enemies, allowing you to sneak by them or mount a surprise attack.

Thicket Talisman

The Thicket talisman will create a bush that blocks the line of sight of Visitors, and can be used to provide cover if you wish to avoid larger crowds of Visitors. However, if the enemy is too close, they will still be able to detect your presence.

How to Use Talismans

You can equip any of the Talisman you have by either toggling through them using the left directional button, or bringing up the selection wheel by holding L1/left bumper. To aim and use them, hold R2/right trigger to see their effective radius, and depress to activate the selected Talisman.

By incorporating these talismans into your arsenal, you can find different ways to take down the Visitors efficiently and keep yourself safe.
