What makes it great is that it can travels for quite a distance, pulling in enemies before exploding. Fleeting MicrocosmType: Sorcery - OffensiveAttribute requirement: 42FP cost: 30Effect: Conjures a microcosm that pulses in a single wave, before disappearing in a burst.The Fleeting Microcosm is sold by an NPC named Ymir, and it becomes available once you've completed a few tasks as part of the Finger Ruins quest line. The initial pulse itself barely deals damage, but the massive explosion afterward is enough to take out many hostiles. Heal From AfarType: Incantation - SupportAttribute requirement: Fai 18FP cost: 45Effect: Greatly heals HP for distant allies that the spell reaches.There's certainly a place for Heal From Afar among the best spells in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It goes without saying that playing co-op means that more players can help you. As such, Heal From Afar becomes invaluable since it allows you to restore the HP of your allies (i.e. tanky or melee-oriented players), while you remain safe at the back. Aspects of the Crucible: ThornsType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: 27FP cost: 20Effect: Creates a mass of bristling thorns at the back to scour the area.You'll receive this reward once you beat the Golden Hippopotamus guarding the main entrance of Shadow Keep. It's very useful when facing packs of enemies, since it covers you in sharp thorns that eventually hit those around you. Ghostflame BreathType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: Fai 23 and Arc 15FP cost: 36Effect: Channels a dragon to spew Ghostflame BreathThe Ghostflame Breath deserves to be on a list of the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree best DLC spells. When cast, you briefly spawn a dragon head that belches a torrent of spectral flame in a cone, damaging a wide area in front of you. You can obtain it by exchanging three Dragon Hearts at the Grand Altar of Dragon Communion in Jagged Peak. Giant Golden ArcType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: Fai 34FP cost: 24Effect: Releases a giant golden arc with a swing of the arm.The Giant Golden Arc (and its Golden Arcs counterpart) are certainly viable for faith-based builds. You can repeatedly cast the magic ability to create a crescent-moon-shaped projectile that covers a wide area.This can be yours once you can access the Recluses River/Abyssal Woods. Once you spawn in the Ruins of Unte, you'll have to defeat the sleeping Furnace Golem. Doing so grants you access to the interior of the ruins. Knight's Lightning SpearType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: Fai 36FP cost: 36Effect: Hurls a lightning spear while firing additional spears from ancient dragon crests.If you're exploring the Scorpion River Catacombs, be on the lookout for an area where you have to cross a bridge, all while a Death Blight Eye Statue watches from across a chasm. Once you get past this structure, look for a ledge to your right, then make your way to the small room at the back. Once you get this spell, you're going to love using it, since its charged cast generates multiple electrocuting projectiles. Furious Blade of AnsbachType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: Fai 19 and Arc 27FP cost: 18Effect Cleaves through enemies with bloodflame blade summoned from the hand.We feel that the Furious Blade of Ansbach is one of the best spells in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. The reason being that it's a multi-hit move that causes you to advance in a flurry. This can be used in conjunction with the Obsidian Lamina, which we think is one of the best weapons in the DLC, as it has its own backstep and combo sequence. Note that you can obtain these rewards upon completing the Ansbach and Freyja quest line. Land of ShadowType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: Fai 58FP cost: 40Effect: Fires a hail of golden projectiles toward foes.The Land of Shadow is one of two possible rewards that you can get when you exchange the Remembrance of the Shadowed Sunflower, which is dropped by the Scadutree Avatar boss. The casting animation is rather slow, but you're going to start cheering once you see multiple projectiles flying toward your targets. Light of MiquellaType: Incantation - OffensiveAttribute requirement: 72FP cost: 48Effect: Annihilates foes with a pillar of light.One of the best DLC spells in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree comes from the final boss. To be clear, this great foe has three potential rewards, though we feel that the Light of Miquella is the ideal option. This is primarily due to damage potential: the first instance comes from the initial blast, which covers a wide area. That's followed by a holy lance bombardment from the sky, leading to multiple hits.That does it for our guide on the best spells in Elden RIng: Shadow of the Erdtree.
