How to respec and reallocate skill points in Elden Ring
To respec in Elden Ring, you will need to beat Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon in Raya Lucaria. Once you beat her, she becomes an NPC who offers the Rebirth option. To use Rebirth, you will need a Larval Tear to respec. Another option that becomes available at Rennala is Cosmetics, which lets you change your appearance.
Selecting Rebirth will allow you to respec your character, however, you will need to give her a Larval Tear each time you do so. These objects can be found throughout various locations in the Lands Between, but there is only a certain amount in each playthrough. However, some can be purchased from merchants such as the one that’s located inside Caria Manor. Keep in mind, though, that you’ll have to spend 3,000 Runes to buy these Larval Tears.
You can respec at the Raya Lucaria Academy grand library, which is where Rennala can be found. Rennala is the final boss of Raya Lucaria Academy, which is situated within the Liurnia of the Lakes area. You can reach this place by heading north out of Limgrave, beyond Stormveil Castle.
What if I change my mind?
If you happen to change your mind after selecting Rebirth, you can cancel respeccing your stats. If you do this, you will get a message saying your Larval Tear was not used, so don’t worry about wasting it.
