Treasure of Nadia Talismans: All 7 Types, Values & Recipes (2026)

Treasure of Nadia talismans are the game’s currency, crafting material and progression gate all at once. You dig them up across Cape Vedra, sell them to Diana at the Library, give them to Pricia for bonuses and combine them at the Shrine into higher tiers. This guide covers all seven types, what each one is worth and the fastest way to move up the ladder.

There is one limit to keep in mind from the start: you can only carry 99 of each talisman type. Anything found after the 99th is thrown away, so sell before you hit the cap.

All Treasure of Nadia Talismans and Their Sell Values

Talisman	Sell value	How you get it
Stone Talisman	$10	Digging from the start of the game
Jade Talisman	$140	Digging after you buy the Field Guide ($60)
Silver Talisman	$1,000	Crafted, dug with better gear, temple puzzles
Gold Talisman	$4,000	Crafted, dug, Gold Compass coins, temple puzzles
Grand Talisman	$12,000	Crafted, dug with the Super Guide, temple puzzles
Royal Talisman	$36,000	Crafted or dug late game, temple puzzles 44-48
Talisman of the Gods	$144,000	Gold Compass riddle, rare digs

Each tier sells for roughly three to four times the one below it, which is why upgrading your Guide (the tool that decides which tier you dig up) matters more than digging faster.

Crafting Recipes for Talismans

Craft	Ingredients	Scroll location
Silver Talisman	3 Stone Talismans + Silver Ore	Parlor backyard
Gold Talisman	3 Stone Talismans + Gold Ore	Estero State Park 4-3
Grand Talisman	3 Gold Ore + False Talisman	Caverns
Royal Talisman	3 Grand Talismans + Caulli’s Coin	Library basement

Squallmart sells Silver Ore for $1,000 and Gold Ore for $4,000, so crafting a Gold Talisman from ore costs exactly what it sells for. Crafting is about having the right talisman for a recipe or puzzle, not about profit. Caulli’s Coin respawns in the Library basement each time you use the one in your inventory, so Royal Talismans are limited only by Grand Talismans. The rest of the shrine recipes are on our Treasure of Nadia crafting recipes page.

Where Each Talisman Is Spent

Pricia’s massages: one unique massage for each tier above Stone (Jade, Silver, Gold or Green Ginseng, Grand, Royal, Talisman of the Gods). Each gives a longer Awareness bonus.
Shovels: the Jade Shovel needs a Jade Talisman, the Swift Shovel a Silver, the Pirate Shovel a Jade and a Gold, and God’s Shovel a Talisman of the Gods. See the shovels guide.
Recipes: Rock Bombs (Jade + Silver), the Dehumidifier (Gold), the Deadly Whip (Royal), the Mystical Gas Mask and Pirate Key (Grand).
Kama Sutra threesome pages: two Talismans of the Gods each, six pages in total.
Temple puzzles 25 and 34 only unlock while you hold a Grand or Royal Talisman respectively; check our Ancient Temple puzzles guide.

Best Way to Farm Treasure of Nadia Talismans

Talisman quality depends on the Guide, digging speed on the Shovel, and how many spawns you find on your route. With end-game gear (Gold Compass, Super Guide, God’s Shovel, Move Speed on Fast), a loop through the three Estero State Park teleporter spots and the area under the top teleporter takes about 30 seconds. Five-minute test runs on that loop returned 64 to 82 talismans each, worth $174,000 to $294,000, which works out to around $2 million per hour.

In the Deep Jungle, square 1-3 (where the Aloe grows) is the richest spawn. Town sparkles exist but are not worth the walking. More money methods are on our Treasure of Nadia cheats and money page.

Auto-Selling With the Satellite Phone

Late in the game the Satellite Phone lets you set talismans to sell automatically. Do not switch it on until you have finished puzzles 12, 25, 28 and 34 and crafted every Kama Sutra page, because those need cash on hand, specific talismans or money in the Squallmart safe.

For the whole progression order, go back to the Treasure of Nadia walkthrough. The game is available on Treasure of Nadia on Steam.

Treasure of Nadia Talismans Through the Story

Stage	Typical best find	What unlocks it
Start	Stone	Default
First hour	Jade	Field Guide ($60)
Early to mid game	Silver and Gold	Better Guide, crafting, puzzles
Late story	Grand	Super Guide
Post story	Royal, Talisman of the Gods	Super Guide, Gold Compass, riddle

If your income stalls, the fix is almost always the Guide, not digging longer. Treasure of Nadia talismans scale so steeply that one Grand Talisman is worth more than a thousand Stone ones.

Selling Strategy

Keep one of each tier in reserve for recipes, shovels and Pricia.
Sell everything else to Diana as soon as you are near 99 of a type.
Before auto-selling, finish temple puzzles 12, 25, 28 and 34.
Do not sell your last Jade and Gold before crafting the Pirate Shovel.

Pricia’s Awareness Bonus

Giving Pricia a talisman starts a countdown (shown top right) during which you are more aware of treasure. The bonus grows with the talisman tier, so the first time you find a new tier, give her one and go straight to the park. There are six unique massages, one per tier from Jade to Talisman of the Gods, and all six count toward 100%.

Final Thoughts

In short, Treasure of Nadia talismans are worth chasing up the tiers rather than in bulk. Upgrade your Guide, keep a reserve of each type and sell the rest before the 99 cap, and Treasure of Nadia talismans will fund every purchase in the game.
