Gameplay

Overview

"The Witch Talisman is a great way to get a hold of busy witches. Those witches and their schedules... always going this way and that at every witching hour!" ― Loading screen hint.

The Witch Talisman can be found within the abandoned witches' coven under Cemetery Hill. It is used in areas with cauldrons to summon witches. It is necessary to collect the Witch Talisman to complete the game, at least without abusing glitches.

The Club is needed to get to the Talisman; first, Dan has to destroy boulders blocking entry into the coven, and then he has to use the Club to light the brazier in the middle of the room with locked gates.

MediEvil: Resurrection

"A witch's talisman! use near a bubbling cauldron to summon a witchy!" ― An alleged comment by Al-Zalam.

RELICS AND ARTIFACTS book entry

"This sought after pentagonal relic offers up a unique and convenient way to summon a witch. The owner will no longer need to perform an animal sacrifice or utilise a loud hailer to secure an immediate appointment with a crone. They can simply present this talisman at the nearest bubbling cauldron, and hey presto; a hag will appear!"
