Unfortunately, to obtain the Ancient Death Rancor spell, players won’t find it in a chest or just lying on the ground somewhere –they’ll need to take down a semi-tough mini-boss in Liurnia of the Lakes. This region in the Lands Between is north of Limgrave, and players should be able to reach it after defeating one of the main bosses, Margit.

Where to Find Ancient Death Rancor
Elden Ring players should head to the Gate Town North Site of Lost Grace, east of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. If players look at the image below, they’ll see the site, along with a red circle just south of it.
Walking a few steps south from the Site of Lost Grace will bring players face to face with a mini-boss called the Death Rite Bird. However, it will only spawn during the night.
How to Change the Time
To make the Death Rite Bird appear, go to the nearby lost grace site, and then choose the option that says “pass time.” Change it to nighttime, and then check the area south of the save point to see if the bird spawns. If it doesn’t appear after walking around for a minute, change the time of day again, and then fast travel to the Gate Town North Site of Lost Grace.
Ancient Death Rancor Info
Upon the defeat of the Death Rite Bird, players will earn 7800 Runes, and the bird will drop the Ancient Death Rancor sorcery.
Ancient Death Rancor has an FP cost of 24, and it summons a horde of spirits that chases down foes. As for the attributes required, players will need 34 Intelligence and 24 Faith.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
