Elden Ring: Memory Stone Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

A Memory Stone in Elden Ring is a requirement for any advanced caster build, allowing you to increase your spell slot capacity.

Memory Stones are scattered across the sorcerous towers of Liurnia and the hidden peaks of the Limveld expansion. They allow you to diversify your magical repertoire and to equip a broader range of sorceries and incantations simultaneously.

The 8 Essential Memory Stone Locations

To reach peak efficiency, you must secure all eight stones found in the Lands Between. Unlike many items, these do not require a specific attribute to use; simply having them in your inventory permanently expands your slots.

• Roundtable Hold: Purchased from the Twin Maiden Husks for 3,000 Runes. This is the base requirement for early-game spell management.
• Raya Lucaria Academy: Dropped by the Red Wolf of Radagon boss.
• Mt. Gelmir (Hermit Village): Dropped by Demi-Human Queen Maggie, located near the Primeval Sorcerer Azur.
• Oridys’s Rise (Weeping Peninsula): Found in a chest at the top of the tower after solving the puzzle of the "three wise beasts" (spectral turtles).
• Testu’s Rise (Liurnia): Located on the northern island of the lake. Requires another "three wise beasts" puzzle to unlock the seal.
• Converted Tower (Liurnia): Found at the top of the tower. You can reach the chest by using the "Erudition" gesture with a Glintstone Crown or by parkouring up the outside using Torrent.
• Seluvis’s Rise (Three Sisters): Located at the top of the tower. You gain access after starting Ranni the Witch's questline.
• Lenne’s Rise (Dragonbarrow): Accessible by using the nearby Spiritspring to launch yourself onto the balcony of the tower.

2026 Nightreign: Limveld Spell-Slots

The 2026 Nightreign expansion has shifted the magic, particularly for the new Scholar class. While the base-game cap remains at 10 slots, the Limveld region introduces Memory Essences.

• Memory Essence Utility: These are found within the randomized Nightreign Castle Library. While they do not grant permanent slots, they function as the standard method for "over-tuning" your memory for a single life, allowing you to equip one extra Night-Aspect spell.
• Spectral Hawk Access: Use the Spectral Trees network in the Forsaken Hollows to reach the "Sky-Towers" of Limveld. These vertical landmarks are the access points for finding high-tier Sorcerer Relics that boost the damage of spells occupying your 9th and 10th slots.

In the current version of the game, Lenne’s Rise stone is the most efficient early acquisition for players who can manage the Dragonbarrow terrain.

A great strategy for 2026 is to use Margit’s Shackle near the "wise beast" towers in Liurnia; the massive AoE effect of the shackle often hits the hidden spectral turtles through walls, instantly unlocking the tower doors.

If you are exploring the Nightreign Castle, keep a Memory Stone equipped in your Choice of Talisman slot (if using the Moon of Nokstella) to make sure you have the utility spells needed for the Heolstor the Nightlord encounter.
