Watchful Spirit is a new Incantation added to Elden Ring with the release of Shadow of the Erdtree. While not the most powerful Incantation out there, it is certainly a fun one to use since it provides a passive damage source for a while. When used, it allows you to conjure up apparitions that target enemies nearby. Moreover, it does not have a huge FP cost, letting you spam it if needed.
In order to find the Watchful Spirit, you will need to travel to the Belurat, Tower Settlement dungeon. This area is accessible from the very beginning of Shadow of the Erdtree.
How To Get The Watchful Spirit Incantation
You will need to complete the Belurat, Tower Settlement dungeon to unlock the Watchful Spirit. While you are progressing through the area, you will need to find these items:
- Storeroom Key
-
Divine Beast Head
Storeroom Key
Travel to the Small Private Altar and head up the stairs on the right. After you head up the second set of stairs, turn right and continue to follow the path until you reach the very top of the waterfall. When looking at the waterfall, enter the room on your right to find a ladder. You will find the Storeroom Key at the top of this room.
Divine Beast Head
You will need to defeat the Divine Beast Dancing Lion at the end of Belurat, Tower Settlement to get this item. Divine Beast Dancing Lion is a fairly challenging fight, even if you consider yourself a little over-leveled. Throughout the fight, it will continue to change its elemental attacks, requiring you to dodge fire, frost, and lightning.
We have a detailed guide dedicated to defeating the Divine Beast Dancing Lion, so be sure to check it out if you are having a hard time beating it.
With both items in hand, you will need to speak with Hornsent Grandam near the Small Private Altar.
Where To Find Hornsent Grandam
Begin at the Small Private Altar again, but instead of heading up the stairs, turn left toward a balcony with a couple of enemies. Continue heading straight and open the room on the left side to find Hornsent Grandam.
If you try to speak with her without the Divine Beast Head , she will not respond.
Once you have found her, equip the Divine Beast Head in order to interact with her. Continue to exhaust her dialogue until she hands over the Watchful Spirit incantation.
Watchful Spirit Overview
You will need to have 26 Faith and 12 FP to be able to cast Watchful Spirit.
When used, it will summon numerous apparitions that deal damage to nearby enemies. These apparitions do not have a lot of range, so you will need to get in to make good use of them.
