The Legendary Sorceries and Incantations trophy (or achievement) needs seven spells: four sorceries and three incantations. You do not have to be able to cast them, only own them, so even a pure Strength build can earn it. Some are simple pickups, but others hide behind an invisible bridge, a sealed tower or a long questline. This guide lists all seven, their requirements and the exact steps for each.

| Need to cast them? | No, owning them is enough |
| DLC spells count? | No, all seven are from the base game |
| Questline needed | Sellen (Stars of Ruin) and Ranni (Ranni’s Dark Moon) |
| Dragon Hearts needed | 3, for Greyoll’s Roar |
| Boss drop | Flame of the Fell God (Adan, Thief of Fire) |

Where to find the 4 Legendary Sorceries
Comet Azur
Ride up Mt. Gelmir past Hermit Village. Primeval Sorcerer Azur sits on the cliffs north-east of the village, next to the Primeval Sorcerer Azur grace. Talk to him to receive Comet Azur. Keep it in your inventory: you need it to start the Stars of Ruin step with Sellen.
Stars of Ruin
- Start Sorceress Sellen’s questline in the Waypoint Ruins cellar in Limgrave.
- Once you have Comet Azur, show it to her and keep talking until she asks you a favour. She gives you the Sellian Sealbreaker.
- Go to the Sellia Hideaway, a hidden cave in the cliffs of Caelid north-east of Sellia, Town of Sorcery. Its entrance is behind an illusory wall.
- Work your way down the crystal tunnels to the second pit, where an arcane seal blocks a door. The Sealbreaker opens it.
- Talk to Master Lusat inside. He gives you Stars of Ruin.
Founding Rain of Stars
Heretical Rise is a tower in the eastern Mountaintops of the Giants, across a deep ravine. The way over is an invisible bridge. Look for a faint white mist on the far side of the ravine; it marks the safe path and is easiest to see at night. Walk straight out, then curve left back towards the tower while climbing. Inside, fight your way to the top floor: the spell is in the chest there.
Ranni’s Dark Moon
Chelona’s Rise stands on the south-west tip of the Moonlight Altar plateau. You only reach the plateau after you beat Astel in Ranni’s questline and take the lift up. The imp statue at the door asks you to find three Great Wise Beasts, which are giant ghostly turtles:
- Turtle 1: west of the tower, hanging by the cliff face. Hit it with a ranged attack.
- Turtle 2: far east, on a lower cliff south of the Lunar Estate Ruins. If it is missing, start from the Altar South grace and move east without fast travelling.
- Turtle 3: high in the air south-east of Ringleader’s Evergaol. Use the nearby spiritspring with Torrent to jump into it.
Do not rest at a grace or fast travel while hunting them, or the turtles you have not killed despawn. If that happens, read the imp statue again. With all three gone the seal lifts, and Ranni’s Dark Moon waits in the chest at the top of the tower.
Where to find the 3 Legendary Incantations
Flame of the Fell God
Malefactor’s Evergaol is in Liurnia of the Lakes, close to the Liurnia Lake Shore grace. Step into the evergaol and beat Adan, Thief of Fire, a fire-throwing human boss. He drops Flame of the Fell God. It is the easiest of the seven and one of the best Faith spells in the game.
Greyoll’s Roar
- Kill Elder Dragon Greyoll, the huge sleeping dragon in Dragonbarrow near Fort Faroth. She barely fights back, so bleed or a strong weapon on her tail works well.
- Greyoll drops five Dragon Hearts, more than enough for the spell. If you already spent them, our Dragon Heart locations guide lists every other dragon.
- Go to the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in southern Caelid (not the smaller Church of Dragon Communion in Limgrave) and buy Greyoll’s Roar at the altar for 3 Dragon Hearts.
Elden Stars
- Reach the Deeproot Depths. The usual way is through Nokron, Eternal City after Radahn: beat the Valiant Gargoyles and ride the coffin down.
- From the Great Waterfall Crest grace, head west to the big roots.
- Look north-west for a root that climbs up into a cave and follow it.
- Fight through the packs of Giant Ants to the far end of the cave. Elden Stars is on a body facing the cave exit.
There is a second entrance with a ledge and two ants below it. From there you can see the body but you cannot reach it, so use the root route above.
Best order to collect them
- Liurnia: Flame of the Fell God as soon as you reach the lake.
- Caelid: kill Greyoll early with a bleed weapon and start saving Dragon Hearts.
- Mt. Gelmir: Comet Azur, then take it to Sellen for the Sealbreaker and visit Lusat for Stars of Ruin.
- After Radahn: Nokron and the Deeproot Depths for Elden Stars.
- Ranni’s quest: after Astel, clear Chelona’s Rise for Ranni’s Dark Moon.
- Mountaintops of the Giants: cross the invisible bridge to Heretical Rise for Founding Rain of Stars.

FAQ
How many Legendary Sorceries and Incantations are there?
Seven: Comet Azur, Stars of Ruin, Founding Rain of Stars and Ranni’s Dark Moon are sorceries; Flame of the Fell God, Greyoll’s Roar and Elden Stars are incantations.
Do I need the stats to use them for the trophy?
No. The trophy only checks that the spells are in your inventory, so you can collect all seven with any build.
Why can I not find the turtles at Chelona’s Rise?
They despawn when you rest or fast travel. Read the imp statue again, then reach each turtle on foot or on Torrent. The second one often appears only if you travel east from the Altar South grace.
Where do I buy Greyoll’s Roar?
At the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid, for 3 Dragon Hearts, and only after Elder Dragon Greyoll is dead.
