Marika's Scarseal is a spellcasting talisman in Elden Ring. It becomes available partway through a run, in the Siofra River.
Marika's Scarseal is an eye engraved with an Elden Rune, said to be the seal of Queen Marika and a symbol of the lifelong duty of those chosen by the gods. It raises Mind, Intelligence, Faith and Arcane by 3 each, at the cost of taking 10% more damage. Flat stat boosts matter most early on, for example letting Vagabond, Samurai and Wretch characters reach the 11 Intelligence and 11 Faith needed for Smithscript weapons. At higher levels a complementary talisman without the defensive penalty is often the safer choice, and it cannot be worn with Marika's Soreseal.
Effect
Raises mind, intelligence, faith and arcane by 3, but increases damage taken by 10%. It cannot be worn together with the Marika's Soreseal.

Notes
Flat attribute bonuses matter most early in the game; later on the extra damage taken often outweighs them.
