Game Guide by Ragib Rawnak on Aug 23, 2025

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion has introduced numerous powerful Sorceries that can transform your Intelligence build into a devastating force.

This guide will show you some of the best new spells and provide you with tips on how to use them to their fullest potential in both PvE and PvP fights in Elden Ring.

Gravitational Missile

Gravitational Missile is one of the most useful spells you can add to your collection. When you cast this spell normally, it creates a pulsing effect that draws enemies toward it multiple times before detonating in Elden Ring.

You can accelerate the explosion by targeting any surface - whether it's the ground, a wall, or any other obstacle. Once the projectile makes contact, it immediately triggers the full explosive damage.

The damage output proves remarkable even without charging the spell, consistently delivering around 1,000 damage per hit.

When you charge entirely Gravitational Missile, it does so much damage that it can kill Phantoms in one hit.

Rellana's Twin Moons

Rellana's Twin Moons is another strong choice for your spellcasting cycle in Elden Ring. The spell takes a long time to cast, but it makes up for it with a lot of damage and a distinctive three-phase attack pattern.

Many enemies will panic roll after the first impact, only to be caught by the subsequent phases of the attack. This spell has also demonstrated the ability to eliminate Phantoms in one casting.

Miriam's Vanishing

Miriam's Vanishing provides tactical advantages through its stealth capabilities in Elden Ring. You can use this spell to set up surprise attacks with either Gravitational Missile or Rellana's Twin Moons.

The invisibility effect catches opponents off guard and creates opportunities for devastating follow-up attacks.

Glintblade Trio

In Elden Ring, the Glintblade Trio is an excellent way to put pressure on your enemies. You can cast this spell, then switch to a Carian Slicer, and then do a Carian Piercer roll catch combo.

This keeps the pressure on your opponent and keeps the offensive going throughout the fight.

Core Stats

To get the most out of these new sorceries, you should focus all of your build on Intelligence in Elden Ring.

An intelligence-focused build makes sure that each spell does as much damage as possible without wasting your attribute points.

Suggested Levels

Level 200 is the best place to try these new sorceries in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC invasion scenarios.

You can join high-level DLC invasions at this level range and still have a reasonable chance of finding a match.

Talisman Setup

Your Talisman setup should focus on making spells stronger and easier to cast. To do the most damage with your spells, use both the Graven-School Talisman and the Graven-Mass Talisman.

When employing Gravitational Missile, the Godfrey Icon is especially useful because the fully charged version does so much damage that the extra casting time is worth it.

To achieve the fastest casting speed in Elden Ring, complete the setup with the Radagon Icon. This Talisman makes it harder to be hit when performing spells and lets you combine spells faster in battle.
