Conquering the major encounters across the Lands Between is one of the most rewarding pursuits in Elden Ring. Bosses that award a Remembrance represent the major milestones of your journey, granting access to unique weapons, incantations, and specialized gear. Understanding which foes drop these valuable tokens allows players to plan their character builds more efficiently.
Understanding Remembrances and Finger Readers
When you defeat a major demigod or legendary creature, you receive a Remembrance in your inventory. Taking these items to Enia the Finger Reader at the Round Table Hold allows you to exchange them for unique boss powers or weapons. Alternatively, players can consume a Remembrance directly from their inventory to instantly gain a large sum of Runes.
Main Story Demigods and Legacy Bosses
The core narrative forces players to defeat powerful demigods including Godrick the Grafted, Rennala Queen of the Full Moon, and Starscourge Radahn. Godrick grants access to the Axe of Godrick or the Grafted Dragon, while Rennala allows players to claim the Carian Regal Scepter or Full Moon sorcery. Defeating Radahn unlocks the Starscourge Greatsword or the Bow of Radahn, offering devastating physical and magical options.
Optional and Hidden Remembrance Encounters
Beyond the mandatory story path, several hidden titans award Remembrances upon defeat. Defeating Malenia Goddess of Rot grants access to the Hand of Malenia katana, while Rykard Lord of Blasphemy rewards the Blasphemous Blade. Optional encounters like the Ancestor Spirit and Lichdragon Fortissax provide specialized spells and tools that cater to faith and magic builds.
How Walking Mausoleums Duplicate Rewards
Players are not limited to choosing only one reward per Remembrance during a single playthrough. Giant Walking Mausoleums scattered across the world allow you to duplicate a Remembrance, even after you have already spent it at Enia. Utilizing these giant stone structures ensures you can obtain both boss weapons or spells without needing to start a New Game Plus cycle.
