Elden Ring Nightreign’s Incantations and magic don’t usually drop the way normal weapons and items do. Spells almost always come from fixed locations and are much less likely to drop from bosses and lesser enemies, so if you’re running a Recluse, Revenant, or even Duchess, making it a point to visit these locations before the third night is essential.
This Elden Ring Nightreign guide explains where to find Incantations, seals, magic, and staves, and why it’s often best to take what you find even if the spells aren’t that great.
Where to find Incantations and seals
Incantations are equally as rare and only have three fixed places, one of which isn’t even marked on the map with an icon. Incantations are guaranteed to drop in the hidden shrine under cathedrals, though not every cathedral has one. In our experience, only the ones with fire monks or ghostly soldiers have underground chambers. Cathedrals with a golem inside or a squad of Oracle Envoys usually have nothing underneath, but there will be a corner on the ground floor with a small shrine that contains seals.
