Why do you get more dragon hearts than needed?

[Deykar]

I assume i got all dragon communion spells, but i still have left over dragon hearts? Its not like i could do anything with them.

You're missing some spells somewhere. They give you just enough dragon hearts to grab 1 of every dragon spell.

[Juno Brier]

Just so you don't need to hunt down EVERY dragon to get the spells.
It's in the same boat as extra seeds and extra stoneswords.

I got all the spells get mentioned on the internet.

The same reason you can acquire more golden seeds than you need. It's in case you happen to miss some of the dragon encounters.

The game has been out for a month, chances are there may be a secret yet solved.

obviously not, It's being mentioned here that there are just enough.

If you get your info from the wiki, just know it's edited by fans and it's not to be fully trusted yet, game's only been out a month and nobody knows all the intricacies of the game yet, let alone a fan who edits wiki pages.

On the same note tho, I'm not saying trust the guy who says there's the right amount of hearts for incantations. But that is the internet telling you something different from something else on the internet.

Some of the info on the wiki is laughable, like someone wanted to edit in what they found to be true but not delete someone elses' comment so there's a lot of mis-info on there.

You can be fairly certain that checking the dark souls 1 wiki (or any other guide resource) will be accurate at this point, but Elden ring is too new and the peeps that edit it are just gamers same as you adding what they find out, they don't have any definitive knowledge the way guides used to be written.

There's a second place in Caelid : )

You end up with 3 hearts. Not sure what everybody is saying here.

That church is the baby dragon hunter's island.
You need to go to the CATHEDRAL of dragon communion in Caelid to get more spells

Pretty much. Once you buy everything from both shrines and kill all the known dragons, you end up with 3 excess hearts. Likely future content as none of the dragons can be missed afaik.

[Mander]

You get 3 hearts more than needed for every run.
And considering that the 3 come from the unnamed dragons found on moonlight altar (end of Ranni questline), and that normally unnamed dragons do not give hearts (for example the dragon cubs near Grayoll) it was probably an oversight.
Or a bonus needed for the future DLC.

Where tf you guys getting extra dragon hearts, I ended my last run with the exact amount I needed for the remaining things. Theordorax was a pain to find.

This. Having to search every godsforesaken nook and cranny of any game just to find the last 1 of 20 whatever that you missed is a pain in the ass.
