Talismans occupy three of the twelve equipment slots. Artifacts are the separate set of three active-ability slots; do not count talismans as extra slots beyond twelve.

The companion example
Xbox Wire’s June demo used a bone-shaped talisman that summoned a dog. The dog attacked, drew enemy attention and returned after a short respawn timer. The report does not establish the official item name.

Planning a companion loadout
The same demo paired the companion with a weapon enchantment that created healing areas after kills. This is evidence of a working demo interaction, not a tested endgame recommendation. Compare companion survival and your own damage in the released build.
