One of the major differences between Elden Ring and the Dark Souls games, FromSoftware’s previous dark fantasy RPGs, comes down to how you gain more slots for extra magic spells. In Dark Souls, spell slots were tied to a stat you could upgrade called Attunement. In Elden Ring, though, spell slots — now called Memory Slots — can only be acquired by finding a specific type of rare item in the game’s open world.
In this guide, we’ll go over everything you need to know about getting more Memory Slots, including what items you need to unlock them and information about where you can find these items throughout the Lands Between.
