You start Elden Ring with a single Memory Slot, meaning that your character can only equip one spell. By finding Memory Stones in the game, you can increase your Memory Slots to increase the number of sorceries and incantations your character can do during combat.
This is especially noteworthy for mages who tend to rely on casting multiple spells for damage and support. Regardless of whether you are running a mage build or not, maxing out your Memory Slots by finding all Memory Stones is one of your endgame goals in Elden Ring.
How to use Memory Stones in Elden Ring
You do not need to equip Memory Stones like other items to use them in Elden Ring. Once you obtain a Memory Stone, you will automatically increase your Memory Slots.
That being said, you do need to rest at a nearby Site of Grace to be able to change the order of your spells and add new ones due to the new Memory Slot.
Where to find all Memory Stones in Elden Ring
There are a total of eight Memory Stones to find throughout the map, only one of which you can purchase for Runes in Elden Ring.
The rest of the stones can be found off the main paths or by defeating particular bosses. You will also need to solve some puzzles.
Memory Stone #1 – Oridys’s Rise
Oridys’s Rise has a Memory Stone for you to get in Elden Ring. However, you will need to first unlock the tower by completing its puzzle and then reach its top to loot the Stone from a chest.
Oridys’s Rise is located east of Castle Morne and as already mentioned will be locked at the start. You need to seek the three wise beasts to solve its puzzle and open the tower.
Once the tower is unlocked, make your way to its top to loot the Memory Stone from a chest.
Memory Stone #2 – Seluvis’s Rise
Seluvis’s Rise has another Memory Stone for you in Elden Ring. However, this one is not locked behind any puzzle. You only need to defeat a boss.
Make your way toward Caria Manor to fight Royal Knight Loretta. Defeat this enemy and move behind the Carina Manor area to find three towers.
Initially, you cannot enter Seluvis’s Rise because you must help another NPC called Ranni unlock this tower. You will find Ranni on one of the three towers, so interact with her and progress in the story to unlock Seluvis’s Rise.
Once Ranni is done with you, get to the Seluvis’s Rise and get the Memory Stone at the top inside a chest.
Memory Stone #3 – Tetsu’s Rise
Tetsu’s Rise is the next tower you can unlock in the northern parts of Liurnia of the Lakes to obtain another Memory Stone in Elden Ring.
This challenge will be exactly the same as the Oridys’s Rise challenge except a few ghostly skeletons will also spawn alongside ghost turtles.
Once you have killed all three turtles, get to the top of the Tetsu’s Rise to get the Memory Stone inside a chest.
Memory Stone #4 – Lenne’s Rise
Make your way to Dragonbarrow in eastern Caelid to find Lenne’s Rise. To get inside the tower, you have to land on the building’s open balcony using the nearby Windstream.
Your next Memory Stone is inside this tower.
Memory Stone #5 – Converted Tower
A Memory Stone can be found at the top of the Converted Tower, in the west of Liurnia Lake and the Raya Lucaria Academy, near the minor Erdtree.
To get inside the tower, climb the decayed part of the tower to get to the second level of the Converted Tower.
Memory Stone #6 – Red Wolf of Radagon
You will get a Memory Stone after defeating a giant red wolf boss named, Red Wolf of Radagon at Raya Lucaria Academy.
Defeating Red Wolf of Radagon is not optional and you need to defeat him if you want to advance to the legacy dungeon.
The boss is pretty aggressive, and you will need your melee weapons as well as magic to defeat it.
Memory Stone #7 – Demi-Human Queen Maggie
Once you are able to access Mt. Gelmir, make your way to the Hermit Village in the northeast corner to encounter an optional boss named Demi-Human Queen Maggie. Defeat her for another Memory Stone.
Memory Stone #8 – Enia The Finger Reader
As mentioned before, you can buy a Memory Stone from Enia The Finger Reader, at the Roundtable Hold for 3000 Runes.
Once you have defeated Godrick the Grafted and restored Godrick’s Great Rune at the Divine Tower of Limgrave, you will find Enia behind the locked door.
