Amulet holders have the capability of increasing Sargon's amulet capacity. Amulets are acquired through various means in the game, each having different slot counts.

The Amulet Holder costs 240 Time Crystals.

As Sargon during the beginning is very vulnerable due to only having 3 health bars, it is advisable to purchase an additional healing potion as a backup for when the first bottle is depleted.
