All Remembrance Bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree

Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance bosses are the most powerful of all boss fights in Elden Ring, a range of mandatory and optional fights where you can get the best rewards of all: Remembrances. These special items work much the way they did in the core game of Elden Ring, where you can either destroy them for a huge amount of Runes - something you absolutely shouldn't do - or take them back to Enia at the Roundtable Hold and convert them into new weapons and spells, some of which are some of the most powerful in the game. Below we'll cover all the Remembrance Bosses of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, their locations, and what new equipment their Remembrances can get you.

Warning: this guide contains spoilers for the bosses of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Locations of all Shadow of the Erdtree Remembrance Bosses

The Remembrance Bosses overlap somewhat with all the main bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree, though not completely. Of the seven mandatory bosses in the critical path, five of them drop remembrances - and there's another five optional encounters around the Realm of Shadow that also drop them. You can use the map in conjunction with the list below to find what you need.

1. Divine Beast Dancing Lion
2. Rellana, Twin Moon Knight
3. Romina, Saint of the Bud
4. Messmer the Impaler
5. Final Boss (don't look at this section if you don't want spoilers!)
6. Putrescent Knight
7. Commander Gaius
8. Scadutree Avatar
9. Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame
10. Metyr, the Mother of Fingers

It's the first five of these bosses that are on the critical path, and all the others are wholly optional - in fact, some are actively quite hard to find and reach even if you're looking for them, but this shouldn't be too surprising to anybody who understands Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree at this point. Below, we'll give some more info on all the Remembrances, where they're found and what you can get from them.
