Elden Ring Remembrance Boss Drops: Best Weapons and Spells

Remembrance bosses are the major bosses in Elden Ring that drop unique items you can transpose into weapons or spells at the Roundtable Hold. Each Remembrance gives you a choice between two rewards. This guide covers every Remembrance, both rewards, and which to pick for each build.

How Remembrances Work

Remembrances are dropped by major bosses after their first defeat. To use them:

1. Obtain the Remembrance from the boss.
2. Visit Enia at the Roundtable Hold.
3. Choose one of two rewards.
4. The other reward is lost forever.

The choice matters because some rewards are excellent for specific builds but mediocre for others.

How to Get the Other Reward

If you want both rewards from a Remembrance, you can duplicate the Remembrance using the Walking Mausoleum mechanic:

1. Find a Walking Mausoleum.
2. Walk near it until it stops.
3. Defeat the boss inside.
4. Repeat for each Walking Mausoleum.

There are 7 Walking Mausoleums, allowing you to duplicate 7 Remembrances. This means you can potentially get both rewards from 7 bosses.

Common Mistakes

• Don't pick the wrong reward for your build. Some rewards are useless for non-matching builds.
• Don't forget the Walking Mauseleum. You can duplicate most Remembrances.
• Don't save Remembrances for late game. They don't scale.

Final Tips

• Pick rewards based on your primary build.
• Use Walking Mausoleums for the most important duplicates.
• Plan your build before transposing.

With this guide, you will know which Remembrance reward to pick for every build and how to maximize your late-game power.
