Which Elden Ring Remembrance Options Are Best? 

The best remembrance for several of these is... runes!

WE NEED THE DLC NOW😭😭😭😭

Give this man his DLC already, he is stuck in endless ranking list loop.

“Both of these weapons are kinda mediocre” **casually does 2K+ damage with grafted dragon**

They better have a small roaming pack of walking mausoleums in the DLC.

the winged greathorn is a 15% damage debuff that lasts 60 seconds and since it makes a 10 second AOE to apply the debuff, you can use it before you're even near an enemy and then switch to a different weapon. i literally always pick it up just for that on any build, that debuff is crazy good for 12 FP.

Best rememberance is the friends we made along the way

19:39 if u have a radahn bow in each hand, the radahn spear bonus stacks so can do more damage than golem bow

> "Giant's red braid is bad!" > Casually does 2.8k to malenia and stuns her in place

Ancestral spirit horn is amazing for clearing levels if you use fp more sporadically to do things like cast bestial vitality or an ash of war every now and then because it allows you to carry more red flasks, but is understandable that you think its very bad because judging from the background footage of your videos you seem to treat L2 as your main attack button

Bro roasted the entire whip bloodline💀

finally! I was looking weeks ago and couldn’t find a video like this, so glad you made it 🙏

For some reason Burn O Flame is much more reliable than ADLS to me. I don't have much trouble hitting enemies with it, including small ones, but I have the hardest time aligning the direction of ADLS and a lot of times it only hits once, dealing almost no damage, and it has completely whiffed more times than I would like to admit, while even one pillar of Burn O Flame deals more damage than one hit from a lightning strike and it feels less like I wasted a spell. It only becomes reliable when the enemy is big, and the damage surely is better, but also on the other side Burn O Flame is faster to cast and the ducking your character does when casting it amusingly has you dodging more attacks than it seems it would.

The horn talisman isnt for spellcasting, like you said the regen is terrible. Its more for ashes of war while exploring. If im just wandering through a level i use it and the cameo on melee setups for more comfortable exploration.

Note for grafted dragon, its charged heavy deals about the same as the star fist with 30 poise damage but also comes out just as fast. Even without 2 handing it can break stance like crazy so id definitely say that its better than axe of godrick

Realistically Youwy. Could you do a series where you rank the Visual fidelity and coolness of spells and skills. -Spells -Incantations -Weapon Skills -AoW’s Neglect how effective or efficient the abilities are, just judge solely on how cool and saucy they look. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do this.

The Ancestral Spirit's Horn is actually really nice for casual exploration as a mage since you'll be using Glintstone Pebble/ SGS to kill normal enemies, which are low cost. Makes flasks and fp go a lot further

With Redahn's Remembrance, I would go for Lion Greatbow solely for the reason that it made fighting the Elden Beast somewhat fun because I was no longer chasing after it.

Im being honest.. i was looking for this exact video yesterday but couldnt find one and seeing it now gives me joy.. specially after subbing you few days ago lol worth the sub! thanks a lot

I'd honestly like the Ancestral Spirit's Horn talisman a lot more if it could be acquired much earlier. I like using the sacrificial axe in the off hand for pure caster and the fp regen per kill is very nice in the early game. Shame talisman is locked behind Radhan and by then you probably aren't having FP problems. Even the Blue Dagger Talisman can just serve you better. Sadge.

Love how I can watch any of ur videos since I’ve played ever souls like

Rykard's rancor is the single most underrated spell in the game; it's your fault to try to use it only as a projectile because it's not, it's true purpose is to be a highly versatile setup spell, you can cover your approach with it and start your offense, you can combo it into another spells, you can stay behind their explosions to cover as a defensive tool and make an opportunity to heal and when you start looking at it like that you'll notice that it's two slots cost despite it's low damage is perfectly balanced

very nice guide bro, helps a lot

In fact this list is pretty accurate...even though I'm a little bias'd about Maliketh's rememberance, because, well...his sword is my favorite weapon in the game. And I wish that Marika's hammer had that holy caboom effect with it's charged heavy attack similar to what ruin's greatsword has.

some rememberances im going to duplicate because i dont want to fight the boss again in ng+ (melania's remberance)

Placidusax's Ruin has also the weirdness of not having any spell category, no matter how much it looks like all the dragon communion spells. And yeah, the Ancestral Horn really deserves a buff Also a hint for a lot of these, since we're talking about duplication: If you want two copies of a weapon, you can make sure you grab one early by duplicating the remembrance before initiating NG+. That way you can trade in, say, a second Hand of Malenia or whatever, as soon as you reach the roundtable hold in the next playthrough. Normally, even if you duplicate a remembrance, you can only get one copy of each reward

This is a very good video idea actually!!

I will say I built my character around discus of light and at a 3 FP cost it is free to cast with the ancestral spirit horn. Never thought I would use it but I think I found the one scenario it is nice to have lol.

can you do a ranking of the wetblades / affinites? love from sweden

Also, i recommend the consecutive atk talismans if you really wanna use radahns swords. The ash procs talismans when in crowds and the standard moveset will start the buffs on the 2nd attack

Hi youwy i love your content keep it up also can you do the same but with ds3 boss souls

Surprised this one didn’t get done a lot sooner

Placidusax's ruin gets some ridiculous damage when optimised and free-aimed. Renallas items have amazing synergy

I recall acquiring two spells and a staff; most of the weapons, I lacked the strength attribute to wield

the Ancestral Horn Talasman is good if you are a build that has lots of very low FP cost abilities or if you rely on buffs like the moonlight. Because you buff the sword and then kill entire rooms of enemies. By the time you need to re-buff you have a good chunk of your FP back. It's essentially a sustain tool when you know there's a stretch between graces. and you can switch weapons after the winged greathorn buff. Placidusax Ruin is also amazing in PvP because the shockwave upon casting does so much damage and comes out instantly. If you're invaded by a mean red you can cast like crazy and bait them into charging you then hit them with that and knock them on their ass so your partner can finish them. Saved me so many times.

So far, I ate Godrick's remembrance, duplicated Rennala's for both rewards and traded in Morgott's and Radahn's for their swords, neither of which I have the stats for but maybe I'll respec sometime or just pump up everything once I have my relevant stats where I want them.

Regal Omen Bairn gets a pretty crazy buff in damage from Last Rites (the +25 Holy damage applies to each projectile), but the FP cost and cast time makes it low-tier no matter what. Might as well use Elden Stars which has more projectiles (though the main explosion is trashed in PvE for some reason... sometimes doesn't detect either of the two explosion hit boxes)

Giants Red Braid is easily the best whip in the game and it's not really the games fault if you can't use them. You do not see the vision.

how many mausoleums are y'all saving for dlc bosses? I'll probably end up using 1 or 2 before release

Build matters too, if you are doing arcane morgots sword and both mohg items are kinda worth, pick what your build can handle

Cant wait for the messmer incantation and messmer spear remembrance

Ranking remembrances by how much you'd want to duplicate them is a strange thing to do in the first place as the build you're running/going for is what determines how useful duplicating one would be. The only ones worth duplicating are : Renala, both fit a sorcery build. Radahn, both items scale similarly and work well together (1 ranged, 1 melee). Maliketh, both are good for a melee faith build. Fortissax, two incantations. One is kinda useless unless you want to PvP, but you can afford to duplicate just for variety's sake. I know I did in my lighning incantation run. Elden Beast is a big maybe since both are melee weapons and one is clearly superior to the other. But they do work in the same type of build. It's, like Fortissax's remembrance, but you trade equipment load instead of spell slots for some variety. It doesn't mean the other remembrances are worthless, there is simply no point in duplicating them. Look at Malenia's remembrance for instance. You'd have to be running some Elon Musk-like build to even be able to use both rewards. 16 strength, 48 dex and 35 faith is a strange stat distribution to say the least. Now, it's only 10 more faith from Golden Vow (assuming you don't use the AOW version) and 2 more from Howl of Shabriri. But if you're stacking that many buffs, you're probably going for some one-hit kill build and you'd be better off going for strength with some colossal weapon instead of Malenia's sword. And even then, why would you even use Scarlet Aeonia for? The main use is its jacked up scarlet rot, a 90 second DoT.

Youwy I feel bad cos I was talking shit to you a few months ago, was having a bad time. Sorry, I take all the shit talking back

Whip slander is insane brah.

I can’t believe you dissed whips like that. Dual Hoslows whip is goated

He is never going to pronounce Placidusax correctly, is he?

I think the winged greathorn is getting undersold. May not do great damage early or mid game but late game and ng+ it does very nicely. And it’s actually a 15% damage debuff for a whole minute for 12 or 9 fp with carian filigreed. For reference, one of the apparent best buffs in the game; fgms only buffs by 20% in physical and fire for only 30 seconds for 28 fp. Soul stifler is better than shriek of Milos and knowledge above all for sure. Only thing better than it is greyolls roar but that’s for a separate kind of build. Edit: I am using fgms as an example to show how efficient of a debuff soul stifler is, and competes with the efficacy of fgms itself. Edit 2: greyolls roar might not be as good because it’s 50 fp for a 10% debuff and 15% attack power debuff on enemies for a minute.

You're forgetting that death lightning also does death blight build up... Which is completely f-ing useless because it can't even affect NPC invaders lol, it's sole use is multiplayer

I like to take the regal omen bairn so my mimic will use it a lot and the scream is funny asf

Rannis dark moon also blocks incoming magic damage too

Cheers just the video I wanted

I've only redeemed Godricks rune once. I ran the dragon on my godslayer build. I like that offhanding the dragon still gives access to its skill. That's about the only good thing I have to say about it

the best remembrance is the tarnished remembrance because its basically an infinite rune source

Ancestral spirit horn stacks with the sacrificial axe so you get 7 FP per kill which isn’t bad for faith melee builds outside bosses of course

I used the Dragon King’s Cragblade in my Dragon Cult build, it was pretty good but if I were to redo it I would probably use the Bolt of Gransax instead. The cragblade would be so much better if the skill was buffed by the Godfrey Icon, I really don’t understand why it isn’t

The magic pulses of waves of darkness don’t activate cold, only the weapon hit box does.

Placidusax’s ruin is such a cool spell there really should be hyper armor it would actually make it feel like I’m not just throwing away 3 spell slots and a ton of FP.

my jaw actually dropped when i heard what you had to say about the giant's red braid. that is one of the most unhinged takes ive ever heard about this game

When looking at spells, you need to consider how they interact with other spells, not just how they work on their own. The Full Moon and Dark Moon stack with eachother, Rykard's rancor having a delay means you can throw it out and then start throwing other spells to add more pressure than if you only used one spell. The fact that it explodes several times also means that it realistically could hit twice. Placidusax's ruin... Okay that one does kinda struggle to have a use. It's a good wog I guess, from just activating it, but the way it flails around means you either want a large enemy or a large group of enemies.

The Blasphemous Sword, is also a good 2nd Hand Weapon combo with Sacred Relic Sword or Mohg Spear for Crowd Control. It will keep healing You for every kills. Use the Carina Filigreed Crest Talisman to reduce the FP cost. I use this weapon combo in Dungeons. Cheers

the ancestral's spirit horn is pretty good for just going through the game against pve as a melee-only build, you can use more ashes of war without ever drinking ashen estus

Wing of Astel Nebula has less stance damage that Bastard stars. It used to have the same stance damage but got slightly nerfed. Bit its enough to where you beed 3 AoW to stun most enemies while the flail can do it in 2.

10:12 he whiffed all of that😂

NPC tier list could work :) can’t wait to see you murder the DLC

When you said Marika’s hammer is you favorite weapon, I had to follow lol.

Malekiths spell/sword also stack with the Black Knife. Good for melting the Fire Giant

with the lusat's staff buff can't you offhand it and still get the damage boost while using a better scaling staff?

The death lighting is just for cheeky death blight builds. And even those aren't very good lol

19:40 golem’s greatbow is a somber weapon.

I always forget to cash these in. There's actually very few of the rewards I like, and the ones I like you get at the very end of the game.

I actually like to duplicate fortissax and regal ancestor remembrance, not because they give amazing rewards, but killing them is so out of the way that i dont want to repeat the journey

lion greatbow is great for large bosses and dragins FYI. especially elden beast

Hopefully there will be new remembrances in the DLC

@20:33 you dare use my own spells against me potter!🤣

It's a shame the red braid doesn't do a little more stance damage because GOOD GOD THAT SKILL IS LIT

Elden Beast is underrated. Both Marika's Hammer AND the Sacred Relic Sword are amazing weapons.

Youwy the goat

I definitely think that Renala should be higher than Rykard Godrick and Astel its true that Ranni's moon is better but her quest is too long anyway and I just prefer using this one plus the staff is awesome also I'd put Placi's higher than Godrick since the weapon is very good against any immobile enemy because of the stance dmg and the spell is actually really good at clearing areas and rooms while exploring and you can also use it mid air to dodge attacks while using it.

21:37 His name is the Black Blade, his weapon is the Black Blade, his spell is the Black Blade! Are there any other items in his repertoire that’s called the Black Fucking Blade?!

8:30 placidusax roar true combos with some incantations, the main one being radagons rings of light. You can do a combo where you use stone of gurranq, roll catch with radagon's ring of light to plucidax's ruin, and it will 1 hit almost all tarnished. Thats more of a pvp thing, and you seem to be a pve guy, but it does give placidux ruin a little more than just a long animation for boss fights (which I don't care, it's so fucking cool. Some times, you gotta live by the rule of cool, even if its not optimal lol).

You deserve my sub, sir. I now understand. You are clear in explaining the remembrances, so for that, I thank you. I like a lot of your other videos, too. Nice work!

I think you underestimated the moose talisman which is really weird considering you rate the sacred relic sword and marikas hammer so highly when you combine the moose talisman with any weapon where the skill can get multiple kills at once or can kill an enemy in one shot you can think about it like a general mana cost reduction when exploring the open world. It’s not good in boss fights but I think it’s extremely good when exploring the open world.

lusats staff just hits so much harder than the carrian staff at least for me, yeah it uses more fp but for extra damage i dont mind

Morgott's being under Fortissax's of Regal Ancestor Spirit's is nuts. Rest of the list is pretty solid tho.

Spirit horn should really be a percentage as well as flat recovery

tip:if you want to stay in NG but want every remembrance item, you could prioritize every remembrance spell/incantation. then a friend can drop you the regular weapons.

6:51The SACRIFICIAL AXE gives you 4 fp, and doesn't take a talisman slot, and you can get it very early on, and you can just second-hand it. It's still not good, but way better than a rememberance talisman.

Solid video for the most part, but I do think that Rykard's Rancor was severely misrepresented, and consequently affected the placement of Rykard's rememberance. It is just as situational as you mentioned, but reason being that it's designed to be meant for bosses, just as other hard-to-pull-off nuke sorceries like Comet Azur and Meteorites of Astel are. Out of this category/type it's also the easiest to pull off and the least dependent on a proper set-up, giving it great consistency and huge bang for your buck in most cases (against an adequate enemy). Worth noting that the damage shown in the video is also not representative in any capacity, it should've melted Placidusax especially.

Stone ranking next?

If I’m being honest, whips are actually really good they have good damage really good range and solid bleed buildup.

So glad the best remembrance is the one you get after beating the game!

For me the best is Rykaard's for the Blasphemous blade and Elden for the Sacred Relic Sword ( grinding runes )......best weapon of all Darkmoon Great Sword

Marika's hammer broke the elden ring itself and he says it shouldn't be doing that much stance damage and he called it a regular hammer 25.20

I hate myself i thought use meant get the weapon when i tried to use the starcourge remembrance 💀

Carian regal scepter is good but princes staff of death is better than any staff by a massive amount, very late game item but it's stupidly strong with comet

damn, that fortissax lightning spears slander is foul bro, the hyperarmour is insane

spirit horn is goated for co-op

Whips are good... when running dex and/or status builds. Builds that Giant's Red Braid doesn't really work with because of its str over dex scaling, somewhat high fth requirement, and obvious inability to be greased or enchanted.

whips are good though (especially for pvp)

Quick note grafted dragon also does 30 stance damage per charged heavy at 1 handed fist speed
