My recommendations are focused on what you should be working towards in the mid to late game on your first playthrough and what you should have for NG+. In addition to the gameplay synergies, they make visual sense and look good together as a fairly cohesive school of magic. It’s clear that From Software intended for this to be a cohesive build because all of the Sorceries synergize so strongly and fit together exactly.

Gelmir and, Rykard’s Rancor, summons a flaming skull that repeatedly explodes. Some of the Necromancies involve the freezing Ghostflame while the capstone Sorcery of Mt. The other half of this build is all about fire and magma.

However, all the spells I recommend synergize strongly with one another to create a fun build that feels quite distinct from other caster builds.

You do have a bunch of weapons and armor to choose from, but only about half of your Memory Slots will be filled with Death sorceries that would qualify as Necromancies since that’s all there are in the whole game. Welcome to my guide on playing a Necromancer in Elden Ring! This guide is oriented toward PvE and will cover recommended Sorceries, staves, melee weapons, talismans, Physick mixtures, armor, and stats as well as where you’ll need to go to find all this stuff!Įlden Ring lacks what most would consider a completely pure Necromancy build that’s exclusively focused on summoning the dead.
