How to unlock the Talisman Collector achievement in The Legend of Korra - Definitive Guide
Now these talismans aren't free no you must get enough spirits to buy them so here is the best way that I found to grind spirits:
1st part of the final chapter (The Edge Of Chaos)
On normal getting around 40k spirits or on extreme 50k spirits in about 1-2min
What you want to do is the least amount of damage for the highest combo possible and for this we will be spamming (Strong attack) with the wind magic until you get to the boss fight, once the fight start you can press and chapter select, rinse and repeat.
The loadout:
- Talisman: Full Charge HP 1/2 (Need this to spam wind magic )
- Talisman: HP x 2 POW 1/2 (Makes your hits do less damage = higher combo)
- Talisman: SP x 2 POW 1/2 (Spirits x2 and again makes your hits do less damage)
- Talisman: Speed Up (Personal favorite doesn't really matter which one you put here)
Your core talismans are SP x 2 POW 1/2 which is cheap at 9k spirits and the full charge which is the most expensive in the game, try to buy it ASAP.
If you do not own it don't worry I was getting around 20k in less then 2min just using the SP x 2 POW 1/2 on normal
PS at this spot you can also spirit bend the enemies to progress the grind on this achievement.
If you haven't yet leveled up your elements yet, be sure to equip the double Spirit Energy talisman while you're leveling them up, since you get bonus Spirit Energy for each level up, and that bonus is doubled when using the talisman.
In order to unlock all the talismans, you must beat the game on Extreme and complete the Pro Bending tournament on the hardest difficulty.
There is one extra talisman that you don't have to buy, because it is unlocked with a cheat. I would assume that it would count as any other talisman, so if you don't feel like paying for the most expensive talisman you might be able to use the cheat and get that one (it's free). At this time, I have no idea what the cheat is.
There are a total of 13 talismans in the game, but you only need to purchase 12 of them for the trophy. The extra talisman is really a code that you can enter in the Spirit Shop screen. The code talisman item will also count towards the trophy's unlocking. Talismans can be purchased in the Spirit Shop by pressing on the Chapter Select screen, you can buy the various talismans using Spirit Energy you've collected but it will take a total of 1,210,000 Spirit Energy to buy them all. You can use the following talisman to double the amount of Spirit Energy you collect:
- Talisman: SP x2, POW 1/2

Twelve talismans requires you to buy out the bottom two rows of Uncle Iroh's shop. There are 13 available talismans (including the free one via code ).
So all together the 13 talismans will run you 1,210,000 spirit energy. This may seem like a lot of spirit energy, but overall it's not too bad. What I do suggest is getting very good at the first mission (intro mission) on normal difficulty. I was able to successfully play the mission getting platinum rating (and 45,000 spirit energy for completing) almost every time I replayed it. This is a viable option, although I concluded the game just shy of 1,000,00 spirit energy that I could not spend on anything so there is more than enough energy to collect while going for all of the other achievements.
What I do suggest is that you buy the four talismans suggested for extreme mode rather early on while also buying the scrolls and additions to the elements' different attacks.
- Full Charge, HP 1/2 - Your Chi is fully charged at all times, but your health is halved. Recommended for Extreme mode. (300,000 Spirit Energy)
- Healing - Slowly regenerates health while equipped. You'll feel much safer while wearing this. (120,000 Spirit Energy)
- Right is Charge Armor - Prevents all stuns, staggers, and knockbacks when your Chi is fully charged. (160,000 Spirit Energy)
- POW x2, HP 1/2 - Halves your health but doubles your attack power! No one will be able to stop you with this! (100,000 Spirit Energy)

You also unlock them by completing the game on normal, on extreme, and completing pro bending on the hardest difficulty. But you will also need a lot of spirit points, and there is a ridiculously fast way to get them with a little prep.
This does rely on you not having your bending styles maxed out and abuses two facts:
- You get a spirit point bonus every time you level up.
- Spirit points are retained when you exit a level without reaching a checkpoint, bending levels are not.
- XP x2, HP 1/2
- Healing
- Full Charge, HP 1/2
- SP x2, Pow 1/2
Now go to the beginning of level 8, and kill a few spirits with each bending style, leveling it up, but return to the chapter select before you get to the actual boss fight. Then repeat, choosing to not continue, and instead restart the chapter. Every time you repeat you will get 20k SP for every style you raise to level 10. It took me just over a minute each time, and earned 60k SP.
