FromSoftware has undoubtedly opened a new realm in their Soulsbourne universe with Elden Ring as it features a sophisticated storyline full of gods, legends, and ill-omened creatures. In fact, some players have already created a detailed thematic chart that groups every boss into their respective "category," from Voids to Erdtree Avatars.
Elden Ring: Most Intimidating Armor Combinations For Invasions
There's no better power play for invaders in Elden Ring than a set of armor that strikes fear in the hearts of their enemies.
And one aspect of Elden Ring bosses that's quite different from its predecessors is that of Remembrances, which is an item that players can give to Finger Reader Enia and, in exchange, receive a powerful weapon. But, with so many main bosses in Elden Ring, players should carefully consider which weapon to wield.
Updated on November 1, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: Unlike normal methods where players get a powerful weapon by progressing through a tough legacy dungeon or solving a tricky cave in Elden Ring, Tarnished may also obtain some great weapons by defeating certain bosses. In the Lands Between, these powerful bosses are known as the Shardbearers, and they are all children of Marika, Radagon, and Rennala. In the Shadow Lands, on the other hand, the remembrance weapons are rewarded once you defeat powerful bosses found at the end of their legacy dungeon.
23 Remembrance of the Grafted - Axe Of Godrick
Unique Weapon Skill:
-
I Command Thee, Kneel!
The Greataxe once belonged to Godrick the Grafted, and it was used to fight off Tarnished that dared to enter Stormveil Castle.
Axe of Godrick requires 34 Strength and 22 Dexterity which may be difficult for early-game players. Moreover, should anyone decide to wield it, they will gain the special skill of I Command Thee, Kneel! This allows players to smash the Axe of Godrick into the ground, causing massive consecutive shockwaves that deal heavy damage. The Ash of War is especially effective against a large group of enemies.
Surprisingly, such a heavy attack only consumes 15 FP which gives Tarnished the opportunity to continuously use the Greataxe in Elden Ring. As for scaling, Axe Of Godrick will obviously scale with Strength and Dexterity to reach a decent C once the weapon is +10.
22 Remembrance of Hoarah Loux - Axe of Godfrey
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Regal Roar
The
Axe of Godfrey belongs to Godfrey, First Elden Lord, and he uses it to fight during the first phase of the fight. It’s considered a Colossal weapon in Elden Ring so it’s not a surprise that the axe calls for a whopping 42 Strength and 14 Dexterity. Luckily, it is a late-game weapon, so players should already possess such stats if they chose a Melee build. It’s also possible to respec at Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon.
The unique weapon Skill, Regal Roar, will buff players’ attack powers, and it lasts for 40 seconds. The Colossal weapon mainly scales with Strength as Dexterity remains a D upon leveling up the Axe of Godfrey to the max. The Ash of War will also unleash a shockwave that pierces through enemies’ defense, leaving them vulnerable for a few seconds.
21 Remembrance of the Rot Goddess - Hand of Malenia
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Waterfowl Dance
It's no surprise that Melania's signature weapon,
Hand of Malenia, is considered one of Elden Ring's best remembrance weapons since the gaming community regards Malenia as one of the most challenging bosses in the game. While the stats of this Katana aren't the most mind-blowing in Elden Ring, its unique weapon skill makes it extraordinary.
That's because Waterfowl Dance unleashes a powerful burst of strikes that inflicts Blood Loss (50). On top of that, it only costs 12 FP to use, which means players can spam it against bosses or enemy players.
20 Remembrance of the Black Blade - Maliketh's Black Blade
Unique Weapon Skill:
-
Destined Death
Gamers that enjoy using Colossal weapons will be happy to know that one of the best remembrance weapons in Elden Ring is a Colossal Sword,
Maliketh's Black Blade. However, unlike other Strength-type weapons (which Elden Ring has plenty of), this remembrance weapon also scales with Faith.
Its unique weapon skill is also quite helpful to use in PVP since it unleashes a trail of Black Flame that reduces Max HP by 10% for 15 seconds. This can be deadly for some players, particularly those who primarily use Int or Faith.
19 Elden Remembrance - Marika's Hammer
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Gold Breaker
Even though this Remembrance weapon is locked behind the final boss of Elden Ring, Elden Beast, it deserves a place as one of Elden Ring's best remembrance items since it has a powerful unique weapon skill, "Gold Breaker." This weapon skill is a powerful AOE ground slam covering a large area (some players say as large as a Lesser Runebear), making it the perfect weapon to farm Runes.
Moreover,
Marika's Hammer is one of the few hammers in Elden Ring that scales with Arcane. The only downside of Marika's Hammer is that it mainly deals Holy Damage, which some enemies and bosses are immune to.
18 Remembrance of the Full Moon Queen - Carian Regal Scepter
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Spinning Weapon
Although the
Carian Regal Scepter has a common weapon skill, it makes up for it with its passive, which boosts all Full-Moon Sorceries by 10%. With this added passive, magic-wielding players will be able to dish out more damage by using Rennala's Full Moon and Ranni's Dark Moon sorceries, which already have higher than average damage scaling.
The Best Sorceries In Elden Ring
To play Elden Ring as a mage you need strong magic, and sorceries are the most popular type of spells. These are the best sorceries in Elden Ring.
However, players will need to have at least 60 points in Intelligence if they want to use this unique Glintstone Staff. And even though other Glintstone Staves deal a little more damage than the Carian Regal Scepter, it's undoubtedly one of Elden Ring's best remembrance staves.
17 Remembrance of the Naturalborn - Bastard's Stars
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Nebula
Bastard's Stars is one of the few Flails in Elden Ring that has a decent damage output, not to mention that its unique weapon skill, Nebula, can unleash dozens of stars that explode after a few seconds.
Unfortunately, players who want to use this remembrance weapon will need to invest in Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, which isn't always an ideal way of spending stat points. Moreover, players will need to use Somber Smithing Stones (a rare resource in Elden Ring) to upgrade Bastard's Stars to +10.
16 Remembrance Of The Omen King - Morgott's Cursed Sword
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Cursed-Blood Slice
In the 1.03 patch that FromSoftware released several weeks ago, arcane players were delighted to know that all arcane-type weapons were properly scaling with this stat. And
Morgott's Cursed Sword happens to be a Curved Greatsword that primarily scales with Arcane, which means that players will be able to dish out a decent amount of damage while causing a massive amount of status effects.
The Best Arcane Weapons In Elden Ring
For players that want to experiment with the dark arts of Arcane builds, you'll need a useful weapon. These are the best Arcane weapons in Elden Ring.
Moreover, every hit causes Blood Loss Build Up, which is quite useful to bleed out enemies or players slowly. But, of course, players shouldn't rely on its status effect too much since some players know how to counteract its effect.
15 Remembrance Of The Starscourge - Lion Greatbow
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Radahn's Rain
Sadly, there are only a few choices for Greatbows in most of FromSoftware's games, but the
Lion Greatbow makes up for it since it's a powerful Remembrance weapon. Its base Physical Damage starts at a staggering 120 but can be upgraded to 294.
On top of that, its Unique Weapon Skill Radahn's Rain launches a volley of cosmic arrows that deal a massive amount of AOE damage. In addition, this Unique Weapon Skill works wonders against the optional boss Ulcerated Tree Spirit since players can attack it at a safe distance.
14 Remembrance Of The Regal Ancestor - Winged Greathorn
Unique Weapon Skill:
- Soul Stifler
The
Winged Greathorn is the perfect Greataxe for team players since its Unique Weapon Skill Soul Stifler reduces Damage Negation from enemies, making them easier to vanquish. But, players should keep in mind that it only reduces Damage Negation and not Elemental Resistance.
Elden Ring: All Underground Region Bosses, Locations, and Drops
Roaming beneath the lands between, it’s easy to miss most of these underground Elden Ring Bosses.
But, obtaining Remembrance of the Regal Ancestor is no easy task since players will need to light up all Flame Pillars from Nokron, The Eternal City. Moreover, during the boss fight, the Regal Ancestor will heal itself, prolonging the battle, so players would do well in defeating it before it heals itself. Its healing mechanic makes this boss fight a bit annoying, which is why its Remembrance weapon isn't ranked higher on the list.
