Assassin's Crimson Dagger is a health and stamina talisman in Elden Ring. It turns up early in a run, in the Deathtouched Catacombs.

The Assassin's Crimson Dagger is a charm modeled after the darkly gleaming blades of the Night of Black Knives, the weapons that gave the demigods their first taste of death. Every backstab or riposte heals 10% of maximum HP plus a flat 85, so a character with 1,900 HP recovers 275 per critical. Critical animations that strike twice trigger the heal twice, which favors colossal weapons and great katanas on backstabs and daggers on ripostes against large enemies, while critical damage bonuses do not change the amount healed. It suits parry and backstab builds that want sustain without spending flasks, and it pairs naturally with the Assassin's Cerulean Dagger for FP.
