Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - 10 Best New Incantations

The "Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree" DLC expands the rich and challenging world of "Elden Ring" with new locations, enemies, and a host of powerful incantations. As you travel to the Land of Shadow to uncover Miquella's motives and face formidable new bosses, these incantations will prove invaluable, especially for those favoring a faith build. Here are the ten best new incantations introduced in this DLC, detailing their abilities and where to find them.


10. Pest-Thread Spears

Attacks Appear Like Thread Spears

The Kindred of Rot's notorious spears from the base game now come in a form you can wield. The Pest-Thread Spears summon two large threaded spears, ideal for dealing solid damage to larger targets like bosses. Found at the Church of the Bud's main entrance, this incantation is guarded by a single enemy. While powerful, its long cast time means it should be used as a secondary spell.


9. Heal From Afar

Heals Your Allies Even At A Decent Distance

Essential for supporting allies and summons, the Heal From Afar incantation allows you to fire a projectile that heals allies at a distance. Perfect for cooperative play, this spell can be found early in the game by heading north of Moorth Ruins, near a golden tree in a small cave.


8. Divine Beast Tornado

Launches A Strong Tornado Wind Attack

Exclusive to the DLC, the Divine Beast Tornado mimics the devastating tornado attack of the Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss. This incantation creates a storm that can project a powerful tornado towards enemies, breaking their posture and pushing them back. This spell is particularly effective when combined with other offensive incantations.


7. Minor Erdtree

Continuously Restores HP For A Few Seconds

The Minor Erdtree incantation summons an illusory Erdtree, which restores HP to the caster and allies for thirty seconds. With a high Faith requirement of 70, it is best used in PvP invasions. It can be found in the Shaman Village located in the Hinterlands, a secret area with specific entry requirements.


6. Knight's Lightning Spear

Summons A Golden Lightning Spear

This ancient Dragon cult incantation summons a lightning spear and additional projectiles that ensure a lethal blow. The spell is versatile with a short cast time. To obtain it, navigate to the Scorpion River Catacombs and find the hall with eyes that cause death blight, behind which lies the room containing this powerful spell.


5. Midra's Flame Of Frenzy

Spew Frenzied Flame All Around, And Deal Decent AOE Damage

Midra's Flame of Frenzy is a dangerous incantation that summons Frenzied Flame, causing a yellow flame to hit multiple targets. However, it inflicts Madness on both the caster and the opponent. This incantation is obtained by defeating Midra and trading his remembrance.


4. Fire Serpent

Powerful Serpent-Like Flame Attack

Used by Messmer's Fire Knights, the Fire Serpent incantation is an offensive spell found in the Storehouse Back Section Site of Grace. It conjures a serpent-like flame that is FP efficient but has a slight delay, making it better suited for PvP rather than PvE.


3. Ghostflame Breath

Breath Attack Of The Ghostflame Dragon

The Ghostflame Breath incantation, obtained through Dragon Communion, mirrors the breath attack of the Ghostflame Dragon near the Greatbridge. This incantation covers a large area with misty fire, dealing significant damage and frostbite buildup. It is acquired at the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion for three Dragon Hearts.


2. Bayle's Flame Lightning

Channels a Form Of Dread Dragon With Flame-Infused Talon Attacks

Bayle's Flame Lightning is a dramatic and powerful Dragon Communion incantation. By defeating Bayle the Dread and taking his heart to the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion, you can obtain this spell. It allows you to slash enemies with a dragon's talon charged with flame lightning, dealing immense damage.


1. Light Of Miquella

Summons A Lethal Light-beam From Above

The Light of Miquella is a powerful Faith spell obtained by defeating Promised Consort Radahn, the final boss of the DLC. Trading Radahn's remembrance to Enia at the Roundtable Hold grants you this incantation. It summons a pillar of light that annihilates opponents with an explosion followed by multiple light beams, making it indispensable for faith builds.
