The Lands Between is a deadly place, and it's about to come even more so with the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It's only right that you get to choose an Elden Ring keepsake to provide you with a specific benefit and knowing what each of them does will help you make that decision.
Similar to Souls' grave gifts, when creating your character in Elden Ring, you'll get to pick an item to start with. These range from free upgrades to keys you might use later in the game. These special items follow a similar theme to the Dark Souls games: the Crimson Amber Medallion replaces the Life Ring, the Golden Seed swaps out for the Estus Shard, and there's even the Elden Ring Stonesword Key that will lead to treasure a little further down the road.
