Where to Find All Memory Stones in Elden Ring (2026 Edition)

It’s 2026, and Elden Ring still hasn’t loosened its grip on us, has it? After hundreds of hours in the Lands Between, I still find myself chasing that one elusive upgrade that will finally give my astrologer an edge. If you’ve ever tried to juggle Comet Azur, Rock Sling, and a few critical incantations at the same time, you know the pain: not enough memory slots. So, can you increase your memory slots? Yes, absolutely. The answer lies in Memory Stones. But hunting them down across the sprawling map is a different story. Let me walk you through exactly how to get your hands on every single Memory Stone in Elden Ring.

What Are Memory Stones and Why Should You Care?

Memory Stones are consumable key items that permanently increase your character's memory slots. Each one you collect adds a fresh slot to your available pool, which directly translates into more sorceries and incantations you can equip at any Site of Grace. I can’t count the number of times a boss fight turned around just because I had the right spell ready, instead of fumbling through my inventory.

But here’s the kicker: you don’t have to manually equip these stones. The game automatically applies them the moment you pick one up. If you're ever uncertain, just open your inventory; the number of memory slots is displayed right at the top. It’s a quality-of-life feature I wish more games would adopt.

Do you really need all eight?

If you’re running a pure melee build, probably not. But for any hybrid or spellcasters, having at least six to eight slots means you can adapt to any combat scenario without constantly shuffling spells. Trust me, when a Crucible Knight is charging at you, you don’t want to be digging through menus.

How Many Memory Stones Exist in 2026?

As of the latest patch and even through the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the base game still holds eight Memory Stones. While the DLC introduced new consumables and talismans to tweak spell slots, the core Memory Stones remain untouched and are still the backbone of your casting capacity. If you missed any during your first playthrough, it’s never too late to backtrack—especially with the expanded fast-travel network available now.

Here’s a quick overview:

Number	General Location	Recommended Level
1	Roundtable Hold	Any
2	Weeping Peninsula	20+
3	Liurnia of the Lakes	40+
4	Caelid	60+
5	Altus Plateau	70+
6	Mt. Gelmir	80+
7	Mountaintops of the Giants	100+
8	Consecrated Snowfield	110+

Where to Track Them Down

1. Roundtable Hold: The Gimmie

You probably already have this one. Twin Maiden Husks sell a Memory Stone early on. It’s cheap, and if you haven’t bought it yet, go do it now. No excuses.

2. Weeping Peninsula – Oridys’s Rise

Head south from the Bridge of Sacrifice. The tower is marked on your map. Solve a simple riddle: seek three wise beasts (giant turtles hidden nearby) and the door opens. Inside, a chest holds your second Memory Stone. Don’t ignore the peninsula just because it’s an early area; this stone is a lifesaver for early-game spell diversity.

3. Raya Lucaria Academy – Debate Parlor

After beating the Red Wolf, climb the staircase behind the boss room. There’s a room with a glintstone crown statue. The Memory Stone is resting on a corpse right in front of it. Easy to miss if you’re sprinting to Rennala.

4. Caelid – Sellia, Town of Sorcery

Only accessible after you light several braziers in the town. The tower is called Sellia Hideaway. You’ll need to roll through an illusory wall in the graveyard near the Church of the Plague. Once inside, navigate past the crystalians to find the chest. Bring striking weapons, seriously.

5. Altus Plateau – Converted Fringe Tower

This one requires the Erudition gesture. Remember Thops? You need his questline or at least the glintstone key. Make the gesture in front of the tower’s statue and the door opens. The stone is at the top.

6. Mt. Gelmir – Hermit Village

North of the Craftsman’s Shack site of grace, past the demi-humans. Look for a corpse dangling off a cliff edge near the giant rock formation. The stone is on that corpse. Watch your footing; the magma wyrm nearby won’t make it easy.

7. Mountaintops of the Giants – Stargazers' Ruins

Once you’ve conquered Leyndell and taken the Grand Lift, make your way west from the Freezing Lake. The ruins are guarded by a few wolves and a jellyfish. The stone is inside a small underground chamber. Use a torch if the blizzard gets too thick.

8. Consecrated Snowfield – Albinauric Rise

You’ll need both halves of the Haligtree Secret Medallion to reach this area. The tower has an imp puzzle: kill the two imps that respawn until they finally stay dead, then interact with the pedestal. The Memory Stone awaits at the top. At this point in the game, you probably already have a deep spell arsenal, but that extra slot for a boss-killer incantation never hurts.

A Quick Sum-Up for the Impatient

If wandering around the map isn’t your style, here’s a bite-sized checklist:

• ✅ Roundtable Hold – Buy from the husks.

• ✅ Weeping Peninsula – Oridys’s Rise puzzle.

• ✅ Liurnia – Raya Lucaria Academy corpse.

• ✅ Caelid – Sellia Hideaway after lighting braziers.

• ✅ Altus Plateau – Converted Fringe Tower gesture.

• ✅ Mt. Gelmir – Hermit Village cliff.

• ✅ Mountaintops – Stargazers’ Ruins.

• ✅ Consecrated Snowfield – Albinauric Rise imp puzzle.

Final Thoughts

I’ll be honest: by the time I grabbed my eighth Memory Stone on my first playthrough, I felt like a true archmage, able to swap between offensive, defensive, and utility spells on a whim. The journey to find them all can be rough—some areas hit like a truck if you wander in underleveled—but the payoff is immense. And since 2026 brought a fresh wave of mods and community challenges, having a full ten slots (you start with two) keeps every build flexible.

So, are you still wondering if it’s worth the trek? Stop debating and start hunting. Your spell slots are waiting, and those tough bosses won’t defeat themselves.

This perspective is supported by Giant Bomb, a long-running games outlet known for detailed game databases and community-vetted coverage. When you’re planning a full Memory Stone sweep in Elden Ring, having a reliable reference for item locations and region progression helps you route efficiently—especially when you’re balancing early buys like the Roundtable Hold stone with puzzle-gated towers such as Oridys’s Rise and Albinauric Rise.
