Discover everything you need to know about the Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring.

As with Incantations, you'll need to locate these spells within the Lands Beyond before you can use them, and boost your characters levels to wield the more devastation options. The majority of Sorceries scale off the Intelligence stat, meaning you're led down the path of becoming a full-blown mage class if you're set on using the rarest spells out there.

Updated March 11, 2024, by Sean Murray: Any astrologer will want to expand their spell book as much as possible. If you're looking for Elden Ring's spell locations, this guide has each and every one of them. We've updated this guide to have slightly better formatting on mobile and also given it more links to other helpful Elden Ring topics.

Sorceries Bought From Merchants

Miriel, Pastor of Vows at the Church of Vow's

There are a few merchants scattered around the Lands Between who will sell you Sorceries in exchange for Runes. These tend to be the more basic spells, but don't discount them — they can be highly useful throughout your adventure, and especially in the early game. It's worth grinding a few Runes and picking them up, just in case.

Miriel, Pastor Of Vows Location

You'll find Miriel, a most excellent holy tortoise, in the Church of Vows. Starting at the Eastern Liurnia Lake Shore Site of Grace, head north and when the path forks, take the left option. Do this twice more, and you should see the ruined church at the top of the hill. Be mindful of enemies that spawn near the entrance.

Gowry Location

For this one you'll need to head to eastern Caelid, where you can find Gowry's Shack just south of Sellia, Town of Sorcery. However, in order to unlock his wares you'll need to progress Millicent's questline. Try to avoid aggroing enemies before you enter the shack, as you could accidentally kill Gowry.

Preceptor Seluvis Location

In order to reach Preceptor Seluvis, you're going to need to progress through Caria Manor and defeat Royal Knight Loretta. This opens up the path to the Three Sisters area. Be mindful that there's a whopping great dragon in the area you'll need to get past.

Sorceress Sellen Location

This NPC has her own rather lengthy questline, but you can purchase her spells at the first location you meet her. Head to the Waypoint Ruins in Limgrave, and find the steps down to the cellar. In the first room you'll have to defeat the Mad Pumpkin Head boss, so come prepared. Once done, enter the room behind it to find Sellen.

Sorcerer Thops Location

This student of the Raya Lucaria Academy is found at the Church of Irith in Liurnia, on the other side of Stormveil Castle. You don't need to have passed through the castle to reach him, instead taking the path through the trees north of Stormhill Shack and keeping left as you round the castle. When you reach the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace, you'll see the ruined church to the southwest.

Sorceries Sourced From Scrolls

Elden Ring raya lucaria academy building

Certain Sorceries only become available once you've found the appropriate instruction manual, known as a Scroll. There are three of these scrolls, teaching a total of six spells.

Once obtained, you can give these to a number of trainers: Gowry, Miriel, Rogier, Sellen, Seluvis, or Thops. Of these, we'd recommend Miriel at the Church of Vows, as the holy tortoise doesn't die, disappear, or move location with the progression of quests. Once handed over, you can purchase the spells anytime you please.

Sorcery	Requirements	Scroll Location
Carian Slicer	14 INT 1,500 Runes	Royal House Scroll On top of a ruin in a camp just to the southwest of the Agheel Lake South Site of Grace in Liurnia. Be mindful of the Large Bear and Kaiden Rider, and mages pelting you from above.

Elden Ring: How To Complete Nepheli Loux’s Questline

Here are all the steps to completing Nepheli Loux's questline in Elden Ring.

Sorceries Found In The Lands Between

These Sorceries are available more or less any time, with the only barrier being your ability to access the location and survive long enough to pick them up. Some areas will need to be unlocked first, but time and maybe a boss or two are the only constraints.

You'll often find these Sorceries in chests or on corpses, meaning you can speedrun past enemies to claim them.

Elden Ring: How To Get The Mimic Tear Ashes

Learn how to obtain a useful doppelganger ally in Elden Ring.

Sorceries Dropped By Teardrop Scarabs

While traversing the Lands Between you may come across magical beetles known as Teardrop Scarabs, pushing their glowing wares. Some of these contain valuable items, such as Ashes of War, Incantations, and Sorceries. They'll try to escape, so smack them before they disappear to claim their bounties. You may even need to anticipate the path of an invisible beetle, based on their footprints.

Sorcery	Requirements	Location
Carian Piercer	27 INT	Found in the northeastern part of Caria Manor, on the other side of the gardens.
Frozen Armament	15 INT	On the other side of Caria Manor, after you've defeated Royal Knight Loretta.
Great Oracular Bubble	25 INT	Found within a building surrounded by clay enemies in Upper Siofra River. See below for a detailed guide.
Oracle Bubbles	19 INT	In the ruins near the Siofra River Well Depths Site of Grace. See below for a detailed guide.
Rancorcall	16 INT, 14 FAI	In the underground crypt in Stormveil Castle.

Great Oracular Bubble Location

The best place to start is either the Ancestral Woods or Mimic Tear Sites of Grace. Make your way to where the long bridge passes over a road. Head down a slope to the left, under the bridge, and drop down to the platform with the stone columns.

Screenshot showing the path to the Great Oracular Bubble Sorcery in Elden Ring

Head along this platform to its end and drop down again, taking care not to die from fall damage, then down again to another platform. Use the stone column to hop down further, through the archway, and round to the right.

Take a left where you see some broken stones, then drop down once more. Head round to the left and use the collapsed column to reach ground level with the water, then turn around to see a large, dark entrance. The Scarab is in here, but be careful as there are many clay enemies in here who hit hard.

Oracle Bubbles Location

For this one, you'll need to use the walls of the ruins near the Siofra River Well Depths Site of Grace to access the Teardrop Scarab, who is hanging out on top of a stone statue you can't reach without descending from above.

Screenshot showing the path to the Oracle Bubbles Sorcery in Elden Ring

Head up through the ruins until you're out the other side, with the waterfall in the distance. Double back 'behind' the walls of the ruins, and use the walls to climb up and over so that you're in the southwest of the area.

Carefully drop down to the next level, then down onto the statue where the Scarab is waiting. It'll drop off, so quickly follow it and defeat it to claim the spell.

Enia's room within Roundtable Hold will unlock after you've defeated a boss that holds a Great Rune.

When exchanging a Remembrance with Enia you'll be offered a choice of two items. Typically, selecting one item will make the other unobtainable.

There is a limited number of chances to duplicate a Remembrance, however, through accessing one of the seven Walking Mausoleums in the Lands Between.

You can use each of these just once, and you don't need to have the Remembrance in your inventory to be able to copy it.
