Most of Elden Ring’s more powerful bosses drop Remembrances upon death, which you can either exchange for powerful weaponry at Roundtable Hold, or consume for a vast amount of Runes. If you can defeat one of the game’s superbosses, Dragonlord Placidusax, you’ll obtain the Remembrance of the Dragonlord. Here’s what this one-time-use item will get you.
If you take the Remembrance to Finger Reader Enia in Roundtable Hold, you’ll be able to obtain one of two items: The Dragon King’s Cragblade, or the Placidusax’s Ruin incantation. The cragblade is a large thrusting sword that requires 37 Dexterity and 18 Strength to wield. Additionally, it also deals out some lightning damage. Its unique skill, Thundercloud Form, sees you transform into a red thundercloud, fly towards your opponent, and then deliver a powerful downward strike.
On the other hand, the Placidusax’s Ruin incantation requires 36 Faith to cast. The incantation costs a whopping 80 FP to cast, but it’s well worth it. Placidusax’s head will apparate around your character, and then start to erratically spray a beam of golden energy around the caster, which will rip through most anything it touches. It’s a good skill for dealing with crowds, or if you want to really throw your PvP opponents for a loop.
If you want to get both Dragonlord Remembrance rewards, you can duplicate the Remembrance at a Walking Mausoleum. Additionally, if you want none of them, you can simply consume the Remembrance to gain 30,000 Runes.
