Finger Seal: Basic Start

Location: The Finger Seal is a basic Sacred Seal available from the very beginning of the game. Players who choose the Confessor or Prophet classes start with this Seal. If you selected a different class or missed it, you can purchase it from Elden Ring Runes the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold for 800 Runes.

Features:

• Boosts: The Finger Seal does not provide specific buffs to any particular school of Incantations, making it a versatile option for players starting with Faith-based spells.
• Scaling: It scales with Faith and Strength, allowing it to be effective for early to mid-game content. While not specialized, its upgrade potential makes it a solid choice for builds dipping into Faith.

Frenzied Flame Seal: Madness Incantations

Location: To obtain the Frenzied Flame Seal, players must complete Hyetta's questline. Hyetta is first encountered at the rear entrance to Stormveil Castle in Liurnia. You will need to gather and deliver Shabriri Grapes to her. Continue her questline through Liurnia and eventually to the Three Fingers location beneath Leyndell. After completing these steps, Hyetta will reward you with the Frenzied Flame Seal.

Features:

• Boosts: Enhances Frenzied Flame Incantations, which cause madness build-up on enemies. This Seal is situationally powerful, particularly effective against enemies vulnerable to madness.
• Scaling: Provides good scaling for builds that focus on Intelligence, Faith, and Strength or Dexterity, though it may not be suitable for all situations due to its specialized nature.

Giant's Seal: Fire-Based Incantations

Location: The Giant's Seal is located in the Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave, in the southwestern part of the Mountaintops of the Giants. To access this area, players must obtain both halves of the Dectus Medallion and navigate through Leyndell. The Giant's Seal is found in a chest midway through the dungeon in a side room, not at the end. Be wary of the Fire Monk Prelate guarding the area.

Features:

• Boosts: Increases the potency of Giants' Flame Incantations, including spells like Burn O Flame! and Flame, Fall Upon Them. This Seal is excellent for enhancing fire-based attacks, although it is more valuable late in the game.
• Scaling: Offers solid weapon scaling, comparable to the Finger Seal, but becomes particularly useful for players who focus on fire-based spells.

Gravel Stone Seal: Dragon Cult Incantations

Location: The Gravel Stone Seal is a late-game Sacred Seal found in the Mountaintops of the Giants. To acquire it, players need to progress through the game until they reach the late stages. The Seal boosts Dragon Cult Incantations and is effective for those focusing on lightning attacks.

Features:

• Boosts: Enhances Dragon Cult Incantations, such as Lightning Spear and Honed Bolt. Although it has relatively low scaling, the Seal’s buffs to lightning spells make it highly effective for builds centered around lightning damage.
• Scaling: Provides benefits to Dragon Cult Incantations despite its lower scaling, making it a viable choice for lightning-focused builds.

How to Utilize Sacred Seals Effectively

1. Choosing the Right Seal: Select a Seal that enhances the type of Incantations you use most frequently. For example, if you rely on fire spells, the Giant's Seal would be ideal. For madness-based spells, the Frenzied Flame Seal is a better choice.

2. Upgrading: Sacred Seals can be upgraded using smithing stones, which increases their effectiveness. This is especially important for Seals like the Finger Seal, which might need upgrades to remain relevant as you progress through the game.

3. Combining with Other Gear: Use Sacred Seals in conjunction with other equipment and buffs to maximize their potential. For instance, pairing the Thunderbolt Ash of War with a Seal that boosts lightning Incantations can create powerful synergy.

4. Experimenting: Test different Seals with various Incantations to find the best combination for Elden Ring Items your build. The effectiveness of each Seal can vary based on your playstyle and the enemies you face.

Conclusion

Sacred Seals are an integral part of casting Incantations in Elden Ring, each offering unique benefits and scaling. From the versatile Finger Seal to the specialized Giant's Seal and Frenzied Flame Seal, understanding where to find and how to use these Seals can greatly enhance your gameplay. Whether you are focusing on fire, lightning, or madness-based builds, equipping the right Sacred Seal will provide significant advantages in your journey through The Lands Between.
