While playing as a Prophet or Astrologer in Elden Ring, you will want to increase your Memory slots. This is because these slots are needed for memorizing your Incantations or Sorceries in the game. But like many other mechanics, the game doesn’t tell you how you can increase them. So in this guide check out how to increase memory slots in Elden Ring, and also learn how to get memory stones and the Moon of Nokstella talisman.

You can increase Memory Slots in Elden Ring using Memory Stones and Moon of Nokstella. When you start the game you have only 2 Memory slots but, as you get more Memory Stones your slots increase. There are 8 of these that you can find in The Lands Between. To increase your Memory slots even further you can even equip the Moon of Nokstella Talisman. This further boosts your Memory slots by 2. So you can have a maximum of 12 memory slots in Elden Ring after having the Talisman equipped, and 10 without it.

There are 3 methods to acquire these stones, getting them from boss fights, buying one from Twin Maiden sister, and mostly getting them from chests. Here is the location for each Memory stone and how you can get Moon of Nokstella:
