Magic users, rejoice, as Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has brought lots of new spells to try for would-be sorcerers. There's a total of 19 new Sorcery spells to track down in Elden Ring's DLC, and we've got a complete list of all the new spell locations to help you find them.

Sorceries are one of two types of magical attack in Elden Ring, the other being Incantations (which we've got a separate guide for to help you find all the new Incantations in Shadow of the Erdtree as well). Sorcery spells require a staff to cast, and focus on more traditional abilities such as projectile weapons and ranged magic attacks. Their damage scales with your character's Intelligence stat, and as you might imagine, they form a core pillar of any Elden Ring Sorcerer build.

In this guide, you'll find every new Sorcery spell in Shadow of the Erdtree listed below, as well as where you can find them within the Shadow Realm.

New Spell locations in Shadow of the Erdtree

While many of Shadow of the Erdtree's new Sorcery spells can be bought from the merchant Count Ymir while he's in the Cathedral of Manus Metyr (or via the Twin Maiden Husks in the Roundtable Hold once you've acquired Ymir's Bell Bearing), there are still many more new Sorcery spells that require more thorough exploration to hunt down. Below, we've listed all the in-depth location notes for Shadow of the Erdtree's new Sorcery spells to help you find them in its dungeons and around the world map.

Impenetrable Thorns is found in the Shadow Keep's Specimen Storehouse, on a hidden ledge between the Seventh Floor Site of Grace and Messmer's Dark Chamber. Once you've scaled the hanging beasts, go outside, but before going up the stairs towards Messmer's Dark Chamber, drop down to a hidden ledge (where a giant bat will be perched). Impenetrable Thorns can be found against the back wall. Drop down again, and you'll be at the 'Storehouse, Fourth Floor' Site of Grace.

Where to find Mantle of Thorns

The Mantle of Thorns can be found in the Shadow Keep's Church District area, as a reward for defeating the Ulcerated Tree Spirit next to the Site of Grace 'Sunken Chapel' (which is only accessible once you've drained the Church District of water). NB: there are two Ulcerated Tree Spirits in this area, and defeating the one to the north of this spot will only reward you with an Iris of Occultation.

Where to find Glintblade Trio

The Glintblade Trio spell is found in Castle Ensis, on a corpse on a hidden ledge of the chapel roof (the building where you fight Moonrithyll Carian Knight around the midway point in the dungeon). To get to it, open the iron gates after defeating Moonrithyll, and drop down onto the side of the cliff on your left.

Follow the path round towards a ladder that takes you up to the chapel roof. Once here, make your way to the west side of the roof, then turn right so you're facing north. Drop down to the slightly lower rooftop, and you'll see the spell on a corpse on a ledge below in the north-eastern corner.

Where to find Rings of Spectral Light

The Rings of Spectral Light Spell is found in Charo's Hidden Grave, in front of a large bird statue on the eastern side of the area. To reach it, you'll need to head east from the Site of Grace 'Charo's Hidden Grave' until you're on the other side of the lake where you fought the Tibia Mariner. Follow the cliff face up to the north above the lake, and you'll see the bird statue as the path curves round to the west.

Where to find Mass of Putrescence

You'll find the Mass of Putrescence spell inside Stone Coffin Fissure, just to the north of the 'Fissure Waypoint' Site of Grace. You'll need to drop down to a lower ledge to reach it, which you should be able to spot after you've jumped across to the next area in the dungeon, but before you need to fight the skeletons. Be careful, as the skeletons will continue to fire arrows at you as you make your way across the pillar. You'll find the spell on a corpse behind a large rock.

Where to find Gravitational Missile

Gravitational Missile is a reward for defeating the Fallingstar Beast in the Scaduview Hinterland, which can only be accessed by using the O Mother gesture at the Shadow Keep's Back Gate. You'll see the boss arena for the Fallingstar Beast as you approach the Site of Grace 'Fingerstone Hill', as it's a large, purple crater on the hillside. If you need some reminders on the best strategies for dealing with these creatures, read our dedicated guide on how to beat the Fallingstar Beast.

Where to find Cherishing Fingers

Cherishing Fingers is found in the graveyard of Cathedral of Manus Metyr, as a reward for completing Count Ymir's questline. It will only appear in this location once you've found all three Ruins Map locations and sounded the hanging bells there, and defeated three bosses: Metyr, Mother of Fingers, Count Ymir and Swordhand of the Night Jolan.
