Elden Ring offers players a wide array of incantations and sorceries, but few are as unique and lore-significant as the Law of Regression. This Golden Order incantation dispels negative status effects, clears enemy buffs, and plays a pivotal role in solving one of the game's major secrets. Understanding where to find this spell and how to utilize its effects can greatly enhance your journey through the Lands Between.

Where to Find Law of Regression

To obtain the Law of Regression, players must first acquire the Golden Order Principia prayerbook located in Leyndell, Royal Capital. Starting from the Erdtree Sanctuary Site of Grace, head out onto the balcony, climb the giant tree root, and look for a hanging item on a upper level. Once you claim the book, give it to either Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows, to unlock the spell for purchase.

Stat Requirements and Casting Basics

Despite being classified as an incantation, the Law of Regression requires a steep 37 Intelligence rather than Faith to cast. It consumes 55 FP and 50 Stamina per use, requiring a Sacred Seal equipped to activate. Non-intelligence builds can still cast it temporarily by utilizing stat-boosting gear, Talismans, and the Crystal Tear in their Flask of Wondrous Physick.

Combat and Utility Uses

In combat, the Law of Regression acts as a powerful cleansing field that removes all ailments, standard status effects, and active special effects within its radius. It also strips away status buffs from enemies and dispels active sorceries or incantations mid-flight. Additionally, the spell reveals nearby illusory walls, making it a handy tool for dungeon exploration.

Solving Radagon's Statue Riddle

The Law of Regression is crucial for progressing the questline involving Brother Corhyn and Goldmask. In Leyndell, standing before the large statue of Radagon near the Erdtree Sanctuary and casting this incantation will transform the statue and reveal a vital piece of lore. Discovers made through this secret trigger new dialogue choices, allowing players to advance Goldmask's storyline to its conclusion.
