Ancestral Spirit's Horn | Elden Ring Wiki

Yall are so very stupid its unreal. the talismen isnt made for pure casters morons. Its made for melee builds who use spells or ashes of war to recover fp when going through castles and dungeons. you know. places where you dont get your flasks back. It would be super broken if it gave you more. learn how to play the game before you complain and say stupid stuff.

Submit

it seems bad until someone summons you to the sewers and you and the gang kill like 40 of those slugs in the pipes

Submit

3 fp ... meanwhile the Health version gives 3% + 30 hp ...

Submit

On one hand, 3 fp isn't likely to make you fp positive (or even fp neutral) unless you're killing a lot of enemies at once or killing a lot of enemies without using fp on them. On the other hand, even if you're still going to be losing fp over time, you'll probably still last significantly longer since most areas have a lot of enemies that you can kill for cheap. It depends on how you're killing enemies. If you're doing stuff like blasting every individual enemy with a spell that costs 40 fp, this isn't for you. If you're getting multiple enemies at once or only spending like 15 fp or less on each enemy, this is worth considering. Ideally, you would use this when a damage boosting talisman wouldn't make you kill an enemy in fewer casts, so you don't really miss out on anything by not boosting damage and gain some additional endurance. And, as someone else mentioned, animals count. It also adds up if you stack it with Sacrificial Axe or Sword of Milos. This is never gonna make a big difference for a build that guzzles cerulean tear flasks constantly, but it's pretty good at making fp efficient builds even more efficient.

For an extreme example of this, consider a Int/Fth build that uses Discus of Light as it's primary source of dps. This is by far the most efficient spell I know of. It costs 3 fp, and often needs 2-3 casts at most for most enemies. Some enemies are only gonna take 1, and it's often possible to hit multiple enemies at once. Let's say you're using an average of 3 shots to kill whatever grunt enemy is in your area (which is a high estimate for this build in most areas in my experience). If you have 100 fp, you would normally kill 11 grunts. With this, you would kill 11 grunts, get 33 fp back, kill another 3 grunts, get another 9 back, and kill 1 more grunt. This takes you from killing 11 weak foes to killing 15. (In general if you spend x fp per enemy, this will let you kill slightly under (x/(x-3)) times as many enemies for the same net cost). If you stacked it with sacrificial axe, this would take you from killing the original 11 to killing 31 enemies instead.

Another example could be a build that is killing things with the AoW on Glintstone Kris. This can absolutely one shot enemies when built right (e.g. some combination of spellblade set, godfrey icon, magic scorpion, shard of alexander/warrior jar shard, ritual sword, maybe buffs if you want) and it only costs 10 to cast. This means that as long as you have 5 fp you could kill an enemy. If you use this talisman and offhand sacrificial axe or sword of milos, you'd be able to use the ash indefinitely as long as you were one shotting enemies. Even if you don't take into account the ability to use AoWs as long as you have half the cost available, this would make you last at least twice as long. Even more if you use Carian Filigree Crest.

Submit

I sometimes use this with DMGS. AOW works on half cost, so I only need to regain 16 FP to re-buff, once empty.

Submit

Wow a whole 3fp? Thats almost 6% of the FP i spent to kill the guy. Did the QA team just spend an hour farming hollows arrowed limegrave to restore FP and somehow think that was OP?

Submit

0 thought was put into making this item

Submit

does it stack with sword of milos if the sword is offhand and not used to kill?

Submit

does it stack with sword of milos if the sword is offhand and not used to kill?

Submit

Use this with Sacrificial Axe off hand and you get 7 fp back every tine somthing dead, very useful when you roam around dungeon or open world. Just swap it to something else when it's boss fight.

Submit

there's garbage then there's this

Submit

Literally only use I've found is when using Discuss of Light as 3 fp is the equivalent of one cast.

Submit

Really thought this would be useful on my caster. Wasted potential for pure casters, pretty good for melee builds that use few FP with Ashes of War.

Submit

Strange, I killed the boss and didn't get the ancestral spirit horn, why? Do I have to try again next season?

Submit

This thing is doo doo unless you have a comically small FP bar where 3FP per kill does anything. In that case you clearly dont use FP much, so why would you use this? If you do use FP alot you dont want to be relying on this to top you off - just invest in more mind and/or another blue flask

Submit

It is indispensable in castles and dungeons, where flasks are not restored. When killing groups of enemies at the same time, it restores dozens of FP. In addition, birds and animals also give FP.

Submit

3fp? lol

Submit

I think there's a use for this. In my case I have melee character spending FP on ash-of-war mostly.
I can reduce FP cost using Carian Flingreed Crest and it decreases total FP cost by 3.

Base: 14
Carian Flingreed Crest: 11 (-24.5%) -3FP

If I use this talisman instead it will be equally as good against enemy which will take 1 cast to finish off and will be better if I kill multiple enemies per cast.
Against bosses it's obviously useless.

Submit

Hello, J'ai battu l'esprit ancestral mais pas eu de souvenir je suis sur la 1.10 et donc pas accès aux items du boss... savez vous comment faire ?

Submit

It's way more efficient to increase your FP regeneration from a single flask rather than to rely on passive income FP. this game has so many spells yet I expected more in terms of FP regeneration. Like dark souls 3 there you can infuse weapons of your choice to create passive regeneration!

Submit

Yes, this thing is not particularly good... if youre a spellcaster. However, for melee fighters who want to use their skill more often without fear of getting stuck with no FP its great! Many melee fighters kinda treat FP like players treat consumables: never use it because what if i need it in that emergency situation that might come up. This kinda fixes that.

Submit

Read on DS3's Millwood knight helm and come back.

Submit

On PVE it has a small gimmick feature where If you are able to kill a enemy with only one cast of discus of light you don't spend fp at all, since discus of light cost 3 fp points and this talisman gives 3 fp points aswell, other than that it doesnt feel extremely useful compared to all the other options other comenters have already stated here.

Submit

Very much interested in this ring, sir/madam

Submit

this thing is so bad and everyone who says otherwise is just coping. a random axe you get from an early-game field boss, and a sword you get from an NPC invasion gives more FP per kill than this thing, a "legendary" item from the soul of a remembrance boss..... okay fromsoft, very cool.

Submit

definitely worth it if using in conjunction with milos

Submit

As invader or co-op, you get free FP from other's kills.

Rings of Light takes two casts(3 hits) to kill most weak enemies. This pays for 1/2.

Sacrificial axe with this pays for over half of a Flame Sling or Honed Bolt if it one shots.

This is amazing for AoW on a 2H weapon. As long as you've just killed something, you'll have one more Lion Claw, etc in your pocket. A wakeup charged R2>R2 is usually enough to finish most enemies after that.

Cerulean Dagger is probably better for a good parry/backstab player or Square Off against turtles.

Submit

people that say this talisman is bad forget that you can kill things without spells

Submit

I feel like this would be better if the FP restored was percentage based instead of flat. Even 1-2% would be more efficient than 3 FP.

Submit

Carian Slicer and Discus of Light give positive returns on a one shot. This is about not having to drink as much. Even O Flame is only 11FP and one shots most enemies by rl40-50 and on past this area of the game. Paying 0-4FP for ranged damage with no hard penalty is good for any PvE content other than a boss fight. Free FP for shooting or riding down animals in open areas.

Submit

Does it stack with the sword of Milos?

Submit

I can understand that there are some builds where this can fit in quite well, but even then, the fact that the cerulean dagger has 5 times more value than this (a *remembrance* talisman btw) is still just a bit silly to me. They probably could've doubled the amount of fp this gave you, and it wouldn't even be broken at that point

Submit

This shines the most in co-op as do any talismans or weapons that regen HP and FP. With limited resources using this + the hatchet or a great horn hammer you can sustain your FP and HP without spending your flasks. I play a support incantation type of co-oper and don't mind being summoned for large areas rather than just bossfights.
Your group will go through dozens of enemies and this let's you take advantage of that.
Pair it with the carian filligreed to sustain your ashes of war usage.

Honestly I always keep this on when I play any type of caster.

Submit

3fp is same as nothing, rather be the "regen fp", even 1 second only 1fp is still better than this to be honest

Submit

A perfect place for this talisman is a Lion´s Claw build. You are not going to have a huge FP pool, and you are not going to spam your skill on everything that moves, however killing 2 trash mobs will already save you more FP than Carian Crest and you will find yourself being able to use your skill more often

Submit

This is also activated by destroying Ballista and Flamethrowers.

Submit

this is not for casters, this is for melee users with a low fp pool and low cost high value weapon arts. some of them become basiclly free, replacing the assasins talisman that gives u fp on crits. i carry this for my blasphemous sword, i delete 4-5 trash mobs with 1 shot, and i get half the mana back. i has plenty of uses, but i guess for casters who get to use the whole mana flask is probably useless.

Submit

To state that talismans in this game are garbage is to say that water is wet.

Catch flame cost is 10 fp (with scarab 9)
Every 4 corpses you will get 1 additional cast of Catch Flame (every 3 with scarab)
This renders this talisman abysmally useless, especially when you take into account that 1 flask sip restores full fp bar.
Additionally this garbagio takes a slot, which can be used for much more useful talismans.

This thing could've been viable only if it provided stable fp regen, like health regen tali does. But for some unknown reason, devs refuse to remain in the realm of sane decisions.

Submit

Cosmetic Talisman

Submit

Quite handy if you have low fp pool and use only weapon buff spells.
You'll be able to get enough kills to regen the fp used to buff.
An item like this cannot be allowed to be good or every spam build ever will abuse it.

Submit

This should be "Repeatedly hitting enemies with spells restores FP"

Submit

agreed. needs to be 3% at least.

Submit

absolute garbage from a remembrance boss

Submit

Why include these items for fp restoration? the amount is unuseably low.

Submit

Unless you're using only extremely low fp cost abilities (in which case another stat boost or utility is probably better anyway) it just seems to make more sense to use a talisman that cuts fp costs or boosts max fp. 3 per kill is extremely low. The payoff would be aoeing large mobs and getting a bunch of kills at once. Hence obviously pretty useless in boss fights or pvp

Submit

Does this thing restore FP for kills done by allies in coop? Or only for enemies killed by myself?

Submit

I lit the fires and killed the boss (stag creature) but no remembrance?? :(

Submit

All of the FP items are utter trash. This, the Sacrificial Axe and Sword of Milos don't give enough FP for it to be viable as a way to recover FP

Submit

In my personal opinion this should have given a percentage of max FP on kill, not a flat amount.

Submit

what a boring rememberance item.

Submit

This is best used if you're entering a long dungeon with lots of mobs like Sofia River. It allows you freedom to use spells and skills more as you're regenerating FP any time a mob dies regardless of time, place or who killed it. This pairs very nicely with an abundance of Warming Stones and it's best suited for long coop plays. I've played a lot of Stormveil Castle, Sofia River, Redmane Castle, Raya Lucaria and Volcano Manor runs which should've ran most phantoms dry without any more flasks but since I've been using ancestral horn, blessed dew and warming stones I would usually fight with all my flasks available even when we go through multiple minibosses like tree spirits and grafted scions. Highly recommended for coop and solo dungeon runs. But reconsider to other FP options depending on where you are (enemies that stagger often will make cerulean dagger talisman better or if there are no mobs then use the carian seal)

Submit

bad for casters, good if your only fp use is a little bit on a weapon art (sorry, ash of war, totally unique and different) now and then

Submit

For the cost of a talisman slot the FP regain sure is poop. Might as well just carry a few blue estus, and maybe use the crimson seed talisman.
From please just release the DLC and give us passive FP regen items already.

Submit

It's worth noting you get fp with this for picking off animals, and better yet, those enemies that die for no apparent reason off in the background somewhere.

Submit

i get why this isn't % based like cameo but adding like 0.5% FP on kill couldn't hurt

Submit

so carian slicer costs 4 fp. grab a sacrifical axe and offhand it and you can infinitely slicer if you one shot enemies with something that does dumb dmg or at least lose so much less fp when using the best sorcery in the game

Submit

I only chose this from the remembrance because I'd beaten the boss for and I saw nothing useful from the weapon art on the greataxe, I can debuff attack power with acid spraymist if I really need to calm down how hard an enemy hits, for bosses dung has his own debuff and he isn't afraid to use it.

The 3 FP obviously isn't great but it isn't hard to see why infinite FP, unlike the HP return from the taker's cameo and blasphemous blade would make mage builds OP. The benefit even from using both the cameo and Rykard's sword can quickly be lost against hard hitting enemies or if you get caught out by a pack, the HP from those you kill is unlikely to see you survive and is worthless against one powerful enemy. But I haven't come across any enemy, weapon, spell or incantation that can rip the FP away from a caster which would force them to fall back on melee unprepared for it. I know there is an incantation that can dispel buffs but it's found late in the game and has pretty high FTH and INT requirements to cast.

I wouldn't use this in areas with strong enemies, the talisman slot can be put to far better use but it is handy as a discount on the cost of killing with an incantation or weapon art and if its used with the Carian filigreed crest it does have some value.

Submit

Compared to the surprisingly pleasant health regen from takers cameo this is just sad.

Submit

This talisman is for people who want to keep an indefinite weapon buff, not spam ashes or spells. You use a flaming strike, to fire buff your weapon, getting 5 kills within 20 seconds lets you keep up that buff indefinitely, hence just clearing areas of trash with unlimited mana.

Submit

3 FP per kill doesn't seem worth wasting the remembrance on. If the greataxe is not up to much either its better used for the runes.

Submit

This, blessed dew and blue dancer charm are the most useless talismans.

Submit

Wish it was just the blue version of the Godskin swaddling cloth. Even if it only restored a % of max fp plus the flat 3 it would be decent.

Submit

Honestly this talisman becomes a solid choice for those who mainly melee with some spells or incants on the side. Cerulean dagger gives more FP, but not everything can be hit with a critical (dogs, animals, the smaller giant rats, slime, etc), so the 3 Fp can add up quick. Plus sometimes its just easier to kill something than try to go for the crit.

Submit

Considering the blue dagger talisman gives 15fp per critical hit this would make sense if it was 3fp per hit instead of per kill , as it is now there is literally no reason to waste a talisman slot on this

Submit

three. THREE? are you serious?

Submit

If you use this Talisman with Sacrificial axe and cast Carian Slicer, you can get a little free FP for each cast on a mob kill. Its a good way to conserve FP for a mage if they do this for trash mobs or just use the Axe and get more. Heck you line up your mobs right and almost any casting could be free.

Submit

Three fp restored, how generous! Typical FS, when they use words like "greatly" and "vastly" they mean like 8% or 10%. That's called "shitly," vastly in the actual world as in "vast sum of money" isn't $8 or $10.

Submit

Garbage even for melee builds you guys are forgetting filigreed crest exists.

Submit

Why didn't they just make this a fp regen talisman? The sacrificial axe already exists.

Submit

I disagree with most of you saying it's under tuned. This is to mitigate your FP use not sustain you forever. You kill one trash mob with storm blade for 10-3=7. Beautiful. Now his buddies are aggroed. Surprised Pikachu face! You also kill his trash mob buddies. The way it stands now it's to make finishing kills cost you less. If it takes you two storm blades to kill one enemy that's 17fp. Not cheap if you aren't running faith or int to need a high mind stat. If it was tuned to say 1% of your FP it would make it viable across the board imo. It's never going to let you run around forever with 81fp but I don't think it should. It takes away some of the risk that anything can kill you at a moments notice unless you have unlimited blasphemous blade because forever heals

Submit

The fire cannon things in redmane count as enemies apparently, so breaking them restores fp while wearing this. Haven't tested it on the batista type enemies but it probably works on those too

Submit

Destroying the fire cannon things in redmane counts as killing an enemy, I haven't tested if this works on the batistas in stormveil

Submit

If you only want to dedicate one talisman slot for fp regen, just equip great-jar's arsenal+sacrificial axe instead of this.

This set up regens 4 instead of 3 fp, provides an additional aow, and has extra carry weight for more build flexibility.

You can't powerstance non-axes, but 2-handing your main and off-handing sacrificial axe ignores that issue.

Submit

Everyone talking about how this sucks on casters. Well with an ultra greatsword or similar weapon ideal for mass-murdering hordes of trash mobs like zombies, this is actually pretty great.

Submit

Yeesh even just doubling this to 6 fp per kill would make it so much more viable. What a shame.

Submit

I get the view bloodstain trick that allow you to restore infinite fp, but I'd rather they remove it and let this restore some viable fp point per enemy defeat like taker's cameo

Submit

Yea i get it, i play a caster and reading 3fp per kill is Laughable, but then i read this

The talisman restores FP when viewing bloodstains of Torrent dying. You must wait for the group bloodstain's red phantom to die and be within the vicinity to receive FP. The effect is infinitely repeatable off of a single bloodstain.

Now that sounds interesting. just play logged in, and click any of those red stains from lunatics jumping off anything higher than 3ft and you can get Mad Fp.

Submit

Took weak tbh, 3 FP is TOO low, 6 FP or something would be far better, i tried running this several times and it just isnt worth it for a caster build, not even hybrids.

Youre better off using the Blue Dagger for 15 FP instead.

Submit

Another one for long expeditions. Goes well with the Blessed Dew Talisman.

Submit

as much as I wanted my sorcerer character to be the old... quasi Carian regal eldritch knight looking dude with an int based sword and shield... I might have to change up to this + paired sacrificial axes + cerulean dagger. Cast some spells and then it's time to get choppin

Submit

3 fp, for a rememberance item? Joke talisman, just use cerulean tear charm and have more fp to spend

Submit

When I first tried this out thinking it would be really useful I legitimately thought it was bugged cause I couldn't see the fp gain on my Hud. No, its just miniscule. 3 flat. Not even a %. 3 flat fp as a boss reward. Glinstone pebble costs 7 fp, so you need to kill 4 enemies to regain the fp to cast it once. I don't expect it to remove my need for cerulean flasks, but I do expect it to make casting more efficient.

Submit

The critical fp restoration one restores 15 fp per critical so consider using that instead of this trash.

Submit

Is this talisman stackable if you got dupes?

Submit

So HP gets passive regen and % scaling talismans while for FP we get this. Feelsbad

Submit

When i first used it with a pool of 150fp i thought to myself, okay, did something happen? Never used it again. Needs a buff up to 7-10fp per kill. Or scale it, the bigger the enemy hp pool the more it restores.

Submit

Playing offline. No bloodstains. Little worth.

Submit

Garbage. Should be at least 8 per kill or a percentage of your max FP like 4% or something.

Submit

Not worth the slot

Submit

This really needs a buff. It should be more like 6 FP

Submit

Does this stack FP gain on kill with the Sacrificial Axe? In DS3 when in a large zone with no fire/rest points I’d often switch to Executioner’s Sword(FP on kill) with the FP regen shield on my back and find some trash mobs and or swap to Executioner for killing blows to refill my FP bar instead of using a pot. If you do this early and often in a zone where you can’t rest it adds up over the long run.

Submit

I only see FP return on a bloodstain if the other user died on horseback. Works for falls and apparently grisly one shot kills. But only with a horse. Maybe it’s Torrent’s death generating the FP.

Submit

Maybe all things horns leads to new ending

Submit

Doing a mix of a caster and a melee build. This talisman was pretty useful for a while, but it does start to lose usefulness in later levels as your magic bar gets bigger and you get access to stronger and more expensive spells. For spells that don't cost much FP like Carian Slicer, this is great, but for beefier spells, you'd be better off just chugging a flask.

Definitely don't sleep on this like some comments suggest, but if you're heavy into the caster side of things, you'd probably be better off looking for talismans that improve the power of your spells or how many slots you have.

Submit

I really like this talisman, because I can spam ashes of war in any strong enemy while getting back some FP which in the end it's some kind of a FP reduction for you. Once you run out of FP you can just kill weak enemies by doing normal attacks and farm some FP until you can use again your ash of war.

Submit

See, if this restored FP on hit then we'd be in business.

Submit

a boss item that is very underwhelming lol

Submit

Overall, after many hours with this talisman, I no longer think a stronger variant is needed painful as a "mere" 3 FP per kill may be. It is perfectly balanced as is.

Between this and the Assassins' Cerulean Dagger one is presented with tactical choice. Invaluable whilst being summoned for co-op, it works well in areas with lots of trash mobs (e.g. Subterranean Shunning Grounds, with its many rats and slugs to feed off). Naturally, in areas where you'll want to fish for backstabs, like against hoards of zombies, the other is higher risk, higher reward.

Any who'd say this isn't for mages has err'd. This, along with the Taker's Cameo, is for basically anyone who seeks to earn their Rune Arcs through Jolly Cooperation. Solo, your flasks should easily be enough under most circumstances. I write this now as a 60 INT mage (2nd playthrough) who just guided a new guy through the entirety of the Subterranean and its boss (whilst backing off two invaders no less). Best rune arc I earned yet, and couldn't do it without this trinket.

Get tactical.

Submit

Assassin's Cerulean Dagger ftw. It restores 15 FP per crit. Works well even late game

But if you're in an area facing trash mobs with high poise or low health you can't backstab this could have some use. I like to be FP neutral

Submit

The sacrificial axe is better, gives 4 fp per kill and it didn't need to be the weapon you kill with.
This talisman should give more then the axe, it's a boss remembrance item...

Submit
