In Elden Ring, players can acquire special items called Remembrances, dropped by major bosses in the game. These serve as the equivalent of “boss souls” from previous FromSoftware titles, offering multiple uses, including obtaining unique weapons, spells, or a significant number of runes. Wondering how to make the most out of your Remembrances? Read our detailed guide below!

How to Get Remembrance

Remembrances are obtained by defeating core bosses throughout the game’s main story. These items symbolize the essence of the bosses and unlock unique rewards. Here’s a table listing the bosses that drop Remembrances and their locations:

What to Do with Remembrance

Trading a remembrance in for a boss weapon in Elden Ring.
You trade Remembrances in for boss weapons.

Remembrances can be used in two ways:

  1. Consume Them for Runes
    You can “pop” a Remembrance in your inventory, just like a Golden Rune, to gain a significant number of runes. This can be helpful for leveling up, purchasing items, or upgrading gear.
  2. Trade Them for Unique Boss Weapons or Spells
    If you prefer to keep the Remembrance, you can exchange it for boss weapons, spells, or other unique items. To do this:
    • Visit Finger Reader Enia in the Roundtable Hold after defeating your first major boss (likely Godrick).
    • A new room will open in the west section of the Hold, where you’ll find Enia.
    • Speak to her and choose the “Receive Power from Remembrance” option.
    • Each Remembrance offers two unique options (e.g., a weapon and a spell). You’ll need multiple playthroughs or a duplicate (see below) to obtain all options.

Finger Reader Enia also offers the boss armor sets of defeated foes, providing valuable options for players looking to enhance their builds.

Duplicate Remembrance

Want both rewards from a single Remembrance? Use a Walking Mausoleum to duplicate it. Here’s how:

  1. Locate a Walking Mausoleum. The easiest one to find is in the Weeping Peninsula south of Limgrave.
  2. Stop the Mausoleum by attacking the white barnacle-like growths on its legs.
  3. Enter the building and interact with the remains to duplicate a Remembrance.
  4. Note: You can only duplicate one Remembrance per Mausoleum, and each Remembrance can only be duplicated once per playthrough.

Tips for Using Remembrances

  • Plan Ahead: Before consuming or trading a Remembrance, decide which reward suits your build or playstyle.
  • Check Costs: Some boss weapons and spells require additional runes to purchase, so ensure you have enough before visiting Enia.
  • Replay for More Rewards: New Game+ lets you collect the same Remembrances again, allowing you to complete your collection of boss items.

Remembrances are some of the most versatile items in Elden Ring, offering players the chance to gain powerful weapons, unique items, and a hefty amount of runes. Whether you choose to pop them for resources or trade them for boss weapons and armor, these items can greatly shape your journey through the Lands Between.
