There are many attributes in Elden Ring, and each holds great importance in helping you progress through the journey. Intelligence is one of the many stats or attributes. Boosting these stats can be a problem. This guide will help you with the items that increase Intelligence.
Items That Raise Intelligence in Elden Ring
There are 8 attributes in Elden Ring; Intelligence is one of them, along with Dexterity, Strength, Vigor Mind, Faith, Endurance, and Arcane. These are important because many weapons require you to be at a certain level in one or multiple stats to wield them.
Intelligence plays a vital role in using a type of magic called Sorceries. Unlike others, Intelligence can increase your resistance against magic. The higher your intelligence level is the more you can resist magic, thus reducing magic damage.
You can boost Intelligence by spending Runes at any Site of Grace. However, you can only boost a stat after interacting with an NPC (Melina).
Furthermore, some items can boost Intelligence if you equip them. These items are listed below.

Marika’s Soreseal
