Defeating the formidable bosses in Elden Ring is a monumental challenge, but the rewards are equally legendary. Beyond the powerful Remembrance weapons, the spells and incantations these demigods and dragons once wielded offer players a taste of their divine or destructive power. With the arrival of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the arsenal of unforgettable magic has only expanded. Here’s a deep dive into some of the most spectacular Remembrance spells that can turn the tide of any battle in the Lands Between. 🧙‍♂️✨

17. Death Lightning

Crafted from the Remembrance of Lichdragon Fortissax, Death Lightning is a visually terrifying incantation. The caster raises a hand to the sky, summoning pillars of golden-black lightning that devastate a wide area. Perfect for clearing out groups of enemies, it costs 46 FP to cast. However, its primary gimmick—Deathblight buildup—is notoriously ineffective outside of PvP encounters, making it a situational but awe-inspiring choice.

  • Requirements: 47 Faith, 32 Stamina

  • Best For: Area denial & crowd control

16. Burn, O Flame!

Inherited from the fiery wrath of the Fire Giant, this incantation lets you unleash hellfire upon your foes. By wreathing your hands in flame and smashing them into the ground, you call forth pillars of fire that immolate everything in their path. It’s a satisfyingly destructive spell that’s surprisingly efficient, costing only 30 FP.

  • Lore Note: Fire incantations are considered blasphemous in the Lands Between, representing a direct opposition to the Golden Order and the Erdtree, born from the worship of the Fire Giants.

15. Rennala's Full Moon

After besting the Queen of the Full Moon, you can wield her signature sorcery. Upon casting, you float into the air, encased in a brilliant blue moon, which you then launch at your enemies. This celestial projectile deals massive damage and has the unique property of negating any other sorceries it contacts mid-flight. A true masterpiece of lunar magic for 55 FP.

14. Bloodboon

For aspiring blood mages, Mohg, Lord of Blood’s Remembrance offers the Bloodboon incantation. This spell showers the area in cursed blood, dealing significant damage and applying heavy Hemorrhage buildup. While it can be tricky to aim, its payoff against stationary or large targets is devastating.

  • Fun Fact: Mohg’s power comes from his communion with the Formless Mother, an Outer God who revels in bloodshed, seeking to establish a new, bloody world order.

13. Scarlet Aeonia

A reward from one of the game's most iconic and difficult fights, Scarlet Aeonia allows you to channel the power of Malenia’s second phase. Flower petals sprout from your back like wings before you plant yourself into the ground, curling into a bud that erupts with a massive cloud of Scarlet Rot. It’s a high-risk, high-reward move perfect for the toughest enemies. If you’ve ever been one-shotted by it, you know its potential.

12. Fortissax's Lightning Spear

The second option from Fortissax’s Remembrance, this incantation lets you harness the power of an ancient dragon god. You launch into the air, conjuring two massive red lightning spears, and slam them into the ground, creating a devastating tsunami of lightning. It offers incredible Area of Effect (AoE) damage, showcasing Fortissax’s raw, unyielding strength in life.

11. Rykard's Rancor

A spell born from the Lord of Blasphemy’s insatiable greed. Casting Rykard’s Rancor summons a slow-moving crimson skull that drifts toward your target. Upon impact, it triggers a series of fiery explosions culminating in a massive blast. Though sometimes underrated due to its delayed effect, it’s a fantastic tool for area denial and punishing predictable enemy movements.

10. Black Blade

Sealed within the Remembrance of Maliketh, the Black Blade, this sorcery allows you to wield a fragment of Destined Death itself. You imbue your weapon with a red glow, leap into the air, and unleash black-crimson projectiles that slice through enemies. Costing only 26 FP, it’s not only powerful in PvE but can be a game-changer in PvP due to its health-draining effect.

9. Placidusax's Ruin

Earned from defeating the formidable Dragonlord Placidusax, this incantation is pure, unadulterated spectacle. You summon one of the dragon’s spectral heads, which unleashes a torrent of golden flame before converging into a single, annihilating beam. It’s the ultimate expression of draconic power and incredibly satisfying to use against groups or large bosses.

8. Rellana's Twin Moons

A formidable new addition from the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, this sorcery channels the power of Rennala’s sister, Rellana. It conjures two massive, orbiting moons that deal catastrophic damage. However, it comes with significant drawbacks: an extremely long casting time and a steep requirement of 72 Intelligence. This makes it a niche, high-risk choice, especially against the swift bosses of the DLC, but undeniably powerful in the right hands.

  • Lore Connection: Rellana is Rennala’s sister, a Carian princess whose mastery of melee combat perfectly complemented Rennala’s sorcery supremacy.

Choosing Your Arsenal 🛡️⚔️

With so many incredible options, choosing which Remembrance to duplicate can be tough. Consider your build:

  • Faith Builds: Prioritize incantations like Placidusax's Ruin or Death Lightning.

  • Intelligence Builds: Rennala's Full Moon and Rellana's Twin Moons are top-tier, though demanding.

  • Hybrid/Theme Builds: Scarlet Aeonia for a Rot build or Bloodboon for a Blood Lord playstyle.

Each of these spells carries a piece of the boss's essence, their history, and their power. Wielding them isn't just about gaining strength; it's about inheriting a legacy and writing your own story in the ever-expanding saga of the Lands Between. Which legendary power will you claim? 💫
