In the sprawling world of Elden Ring, players often find themselves facing formidable foes, but what happens after a hard-fought victory? The concept of Boss Soul Weapons emerges as a tantalizing reward for those brave enough to conquer these titans. These unique armaments, crafted from the remnants of defeated bosses, not only embody the essence of their vanquished foes but also offer powerful skills that can turn the tide in battle. This guide delves into the mechanics of acquiring these weapons, exploring their significance and how players can maximize their potential in the Lands Between. Are you ready to wield the power of the fallen?
Boss Soul Weapons – do they exist?
In Elden Ring, Boss Soul Weapons do exist, but they are referred to as Remembrance Weapons. Upon defeating certain main and optional bosses, players receive Remembrances instead of traditional souls. These Remembrances can be exchanged with the NPC Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold for unique weapons, spells, or items, much like the Boss Souls in the Dark Souls series. Each Remembrance can be traded for two distinct items, allowing players to wield powerful weapons that embody the essence of the defeated bosses, enhancing gameplay and providing diverse build options.
Bosses don’t drop souls, but certain main and optional bosses will reward you with special remembrances upon death. They serve the same purpose as Boss Souls from the Dark Souls series. This means you can exchange them for unique weapons, items and spells. To trade, all you need to do is head to Finger Reader Enia. You will find this woman in the Roundtable Hold.
Boss Remembrances – what are they for?
In Elden Ring, Boss Remembrances play a crucial role in enhancing gameplay by allowing players to exchange them for unique weapons, items, and spells. Upon defeating specific bosses, players receive Remembrances instead of traditional souls, which can be traded with the NPC Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. Each of the fifteen distinct Remembrances can be exchanged for two different rewards, offering a strategic choice based on the player’s playstyle. This mechanic not only enriches the game’s lore but also incentivizes players to engage with the challenging boss encounters to unlock powerful gear and abilities.
Certain bosses will drop remembrances, which you can then deliver to Finger Reader Enia. There are fifteen different remembrances in the game and each can be exchanged for two items:
- Remembrance of the Regal Ancestor – the Winged Greathorn greataxe or the Ancestral Spirit’s Horn talisman;
- Remembrance of the Naturalborn – the Bastard’s Star flail or the Ash of War: Waves of Darkness;
- Remembrance of the Lichdragon – the Fortissax’s Lighting Spear incantation spell or the Death Lightning incantation spell;
- Remembrance of the Fire Giant – the Giant’s Red Braid whip or the Burn, O Flame! incantation spell;
- Remembrance of the Grafted – the Axe of Godrick greataxe or the Grafted Dragon fist;
- Remembrance of the Full Moon Queen – the Carian Regal Scepter glintstone staff or the Rennala’s Full Moon sorcery spell;
- Remembrance of the Blasphemous – the Blasphemous Blade greatsword or Rykard’s Rancor sorcery spell;
- Remembrance of the Starscourge – the Starscourge Greatsword colossal sword or the Lion Greatbow;
- Remembrance of the Omen King – the Morgott’s Cursed Sword curved greatsword or the Regal Omen Bairn reusable item;
- Remembrance of the Blood Lord – the Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear great spear or the Bloodboon incantation spell;
- Remembrance of the Rot Goddess – the Hand of Malenia katana or the Scarlet Aeonia incantation spell;
- Remembrance of the Black Blade – the Maliketh’s Black Blade colossal sword or the Black Blade incantation spell;
- Remembrance of Hoarah Loux – the Axe of Godfrey colossal weapon or the Ash of War: Hoarah Loux’s Earthshaker;
- Remembrance of the Dragonlord – the Dragon King’s Cragblade heavy thrusting sword or the Placidusax’s Ruin incantation spell;
- Elden Remembrance – Marika’s Hammer or the Sacred Relic Sword greatsword.
Remember that you can make copies of remembrances in the walking mausoleums. These are walking buildings with bells that can be stopped in their tracks by attacking their legs. Once inside, you’ll be able to replicate any remembrance you have or have used, netting you another copy of the item. Keep in mind, though, that the number of walking mausoleums in the game is finite.
How do you duplicate boss souls in Elden Ring
To duplicate boss souls in Elden Ring, known as Remembrances, players need to locate a Walking Mausoleum, which are large, turtle-like creatures scattered throughout the game. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Find a Walking Mausoleum: The easiest one to access is located in southern Limgrave, specifically in the Weeping Peninsula. Look for the massive creature with a bell on its back.
- Prepare for Battle: Approach the Mausoleum and use your weapon to break the white spots on its legs. Be cautious of its stomping feet to avoid being crushed.
- Enter the Mausoleum: Once you’ve cleared enough of the deposits, the Mausoleum will lower itself, revealing a staircase leading to an entrance.
- Duplicate the Remembrance: Inside, you’ll find a sarcophagus. Interact with it to choose which Remembrance you want to duplicate. This allows you to obtain both rewards associated with that boss’s soul instead of just one.
- Return to Roundtable Hold: After duplicating, head back to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold to exchange your Remembrance for unique weapons or spells associated with the defeated boss.
Remember, each Walking Mausoleum can only be used once for duplication, so plan wisely when choosing which Remembrance to duplicate1.
What is the location of the Twin Maiden Husks in Elden Ring
The Twin Maiden Husks can be found in the Roundtable Hold in Elden Ring. Upon entering the Roundtable Hold for the first time, head to the left path near Brother Corhyn. Continue down this path until you reach a room where the Twin Maiden Husks are seated, motionless, ready to serve as a merchant for players. They offer various items and can expand their inventory when players provide them with Bell Bearings obtained from other merchants throughout the game.
