All new Sorcery & Incantation locations in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Elden Ring players who become casters now have access to a new arsenal of spells in Shadow of the Erdtree. Here’s how to find them all in the Shadow Realm.

In Elden Ring, a rule of thumb is Sorceries are often damage-based spells, while Incantations often create healing and buff effects – though, there are a couple that inflict damage. You’ll need a high Intelligence or Arcane stat for Sorceries and a high Faith for Incantations, though it’s possible to dabble with low-level spells to augment a melee build.

Once you have completed the requirements for starting Shadow of the Erdtree and entered the Shadow Realm, you can start discovering new spells to add to your list. Here’s where to find the Sorceries and Incantations in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
