Chelona's Rise, in the south-west of the Moonfolk Ruins. You'll have to solve the puzzle with the three spirit turtles. One is right next to the Rise, the other at the cliff south-east of the Lunar Estate Ruins on a ledge and the third is flying above the evergaol portal in the north-west. You'll have to start at Chelona's Rise and travel to each location by foot/horse, otherwise the turtles don't spawn.

How to Use Sorceries in Elden Ring

Meet the Intelligence, Faith or Arcane requirement, equip a staff, memorize the sorcery at a Site of Grace, and keep enough FP to cast. Memory slots limit how many spells you can hold at once, so high-slot spells force tighter loadouts.

Sorceries vs Incantations

Sorceries are staff magic and usually scale with Intelligence. Incantations are seal magic and usually lean on Faith, with some Arcane hybrids. Keep the two lists separate so requirements, schools and locations stay easy to compare.

Elden Ring Sorceries FAQ

How many sorceries are in Elden Ring?+

The total at the top of this page counts every sorcery listed here, including base game and Shadow of the Erdtree spells.

Does this list include Shadow of the Erdtree sorceries?+

Yes. Use the Game filter to switch between all sorceries, base game only, or Shadow of the Erdtree only.

Can I use this as an Elden Ring sorcery checklist?+

Yes. Mark sorceries as Collected and Tarnished Forge keeps your progress in this browser with your other checklists.

Can I filter sorceries by Intelligence requirement or FP cost?+

Yes. Narrow the list by Intelligence, Faith and Arcane ranges, FP cost, memory slots and school, or enter your Intelligence to show only spells you can cast right now.

Where can I find sorcery locations?+

Each spell shows where to get it when that information is known. Use the region filter to focus on one area at a time.

How do you use sorceries in Elden Ring?+

Meet the spell requirements, equip a staff, memorize the sorcery at a Site of Grace, and keep enough FP to cast. Your staff and talismans change the damage, but casting works the same way for every sorcery.

What is the difference between sorceries and incantations?+

Sorceries are cast with staffs and usually scale with Intelligence. Incantations are cast with sacred seals and usually lean on Faith, with some Arcane hybrids. Keep the two lists separate so requirements and locations stay easy to compare.

Is this a sorceries tier list or best sorceries guide?+

No. This page is the full list and checklist. If you want rankings or ‘best of’ picks, that belongs on a separate guide.
