If you’ve just defeated your first major boss in FromSoftware’s latest title and received your first Remembrance, you’re probably wondering how to use Remembrance in Elden Ring.
Don’t rush into selling it for Runes just yet – you can receive far greater benefits from a Remembrance by trading it for rewards.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What Are Remembrances in Elden Ring?
Elden Ring Remembrances are consumable items, similar to boss souls found in previous FromSoftware titles, that you obtain in-game after defeating some of the major bosses.
Most of them are dropped by demi-god bosses that are significant to the plot, but some can only be found in optional areas.
Most of the bosses that drop Remembrances also drop Great Runes which can be used to buff your character.
What Do Remembrances Do in Elden Ring?
Remembrances grant you the power of their namesake bosses. This can include anything from weapons and spells to certain reusable items and Ashes of War.
What makes these items so valuable in the game is that you can choose how to use the power of Remembrance in Elden Ring.
Every Remembrance in the game comes with two trade-in choices: You can either trade your Remembrance for the boss’s unique spell or their weapon. Some Remembrances offer two weapons and some have two abilities.

What Can You Do With a Remembrance in Elden Ring?
In Elden Ring, you can sell a Remembrance for a large amount of Runes or trade it for a weapon or a spell at Roundtable Hold, a place where you can get a moment of respite in the game.
Remembrances in Elden Ring can also be duplicated, which allows you to use the same Remembrance twice and get both the spell and the weapons from the boss you defeated.
Rune Bounty
Every Remembrance in the game can be converted into Runes. You can either sell a Remembrance to a merchant or consume it yourself.
Remembrances are worth a lot, anywhere between 20,000 and 50,000 Runes.
But, selling your Remembrances isn’t the smartest option in most situations. Elden Ring offers plenty of rune-farming methods to earn Runes, which can’t be said for Remembrances.
Remembrances are unique items that can only be obtained once per New Game cycle. If you sell it, you won’t get a second chance until you start a New Game+.
Acquire Boss Items
The best way to make the most out of your Elden Ring boss Remembrance item is to trade it for a unique weapon or spell.
To trade a Remembrance, head over to Roundtable Hold and talk to Finger Reader Enia. She can be found behind a door near the Table of Lost Grace, which only appears after you obtain your first Remembrance.

Once you’re there, select Obtain power from Remembrance. Note that you can only pick one of the two trade-in options, so choose wisely.
You'll also find Enia has boss armor pieces for sale after you've defeated them and some of these armor pieces are alterable if you have the Golden Sewing Needle and Golden Tailoring Tools.
Duplicate Remembrance
To duplicate a boss remembrance in Elden Ring, you must find a Walking Mausoleum.
Walking Mausoleums are huge turtle-like structures that slowly roam the Lands Between on giant stone legs, often with a bell attached.

Once you find one, attack the skull growths on its legs. This will cause it to lower down and settle, at which point you can enter it and duplicate one of your Remembrances.
Then, head back to Roundtable Hold to obtain both rewards.
Worth noting: In Elden Ring, all Remembrances can be duplicated, even the ones that you have previously used but there is a catch: You can duplicate only one Remembrance per Walking Mausoleum and in Elden Ring, there are only seven Walking Mausoleums in total– much fewer than bosses who drop Remembrances.
How Many Remembrances Are There in Elden Ring?
There are a total of 15 Remembrances in the game.
But before tackling all the bosses below, we advise you to beef up your defences.
Here’s a detailed overview of every Remembrance you can find in the game, including where it’s located, how many Runes it’s worth, and what rewards you can trade them in for.

Bottom Line
An Elden Ring Remembrance is essentially the soul of the boss you defeat. Although they are worth a substantial amount of Runes, you are better off trading them for unique weapons or spells that you can’t obtain otherwise. A Remembrance can only be exchanged for one trade-in option, but you can always find a Walking Mausoleum to duplicate it and get your hands on both rewards.
