Fist of Iron - Minecraft Dungeons II Talisman

The Fist of Iron is a common talisman in Minecraft Dungeons II that turns your fists — and every melee weapon — into harder hitters: at level 3, melee attacks deal 35% more damage. Talismans level up with use. It holds S tier on the tier list and appears in 4 best builds, making it the default damage talisman for melee.

When to use it

The Fist of Iron is the first talisman any melee build should consider. The 35% bonus stacks with melee damage modifiers and the Fighter's Flute's guaranteed crits, which is why it shows up in The Dungeon Fish's endgame loadout and in builds like rifeye's S-tier Awesomeaxe one-shot, mintybruhh's A-tier Spectral Spear double soul wave, The Dungeon Fish's A-tier Redstone Wrecker potion engine, and his S-tier Prime jump with the Prime Enchanter's Gauntlets. The only limitation is the obvious one: melee only. Archer builds should take the Amethyst Lens instead.

How to get it

The Fist of Iron comes as a quest reward from The Missing Note Blocks in Howling Woods, which can be run repeatedly. For more melee damage, stack it with the Tendrils of the Sprout and the Thrifty Pendant.
