Banished Knight Oleg is one of the many Spirits Ashes summons that you can unlock in Elden Ring. One of two knights who were given the title of Wings of the Storm, Oleg served the grace-given lord faithfully and earned a burial near Erdtree Roots.
The best thing about the Banished Knight Oleg summon is that he has a high health pool. Hence, you can use him as a meatshield to tank enemies while you remain safe in the distance.
Even better is that you can get this spirit summon early in the game to increase your survival chances.
Banished Knight Oleg Ashes Location
In order to obtain the Banished Knight Oleg summon in Elden Ring, you need to clear out the Fringefolk Hero’s Grave by defeating the Ulcerated Tree Spirit, which lies in the starting area. The grave is next to the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace.
The grave is also the location of the Banished Knight Oleg’s ashes, which you need to unlock the summon in the Elden Ring. However, you cannot explore the grave until you have two Stonesword Keys.
You can get the first key by heading toward the Dragonburnt Ruins. Explore the area to find a room that contains multiple rats, and there, you will find the corpse holding the key for you in the Elden Ring.
Secondly, you should move toward the Stormhill Shack by following the lighting guide that takes you from the Site of Grace toward the Stormveil Castle, so you just have to follow and move wherever the light takes you.
The second Stoneword key is inside the shack. After acquiring the key, move toward the Fringefolk Hero’s Grave.
After obtaining both the keys, travel back to the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace to enter the Hero’s Grave for the Banished Knight Oleg summon in Elden Ring.
You will find an Imp statue right next to the grave and interact with it. You need to use the acquired Stonesword keys to open the access toward Fringefolk Hero’s Grave.
Inside the grave area, you will find several small-scale enemies you can quickly run past. However, you should be careful of the poison pit and run through it as fast as possible without paying attention to other things.
Additionally, a large Chariot will try to attack you several times, so position yourself carefully and use the walls’ openings to dodge the attacks.
Keep running down and dodging your enemy attacks to reach a yellow wall of fog. Go past the wall to meet the Ulcerated Tree Spirit Boss.
You are required to defeat the giant enemy that waits for you inside the grave. This is going to be a quick fight as this foe is not very strong, so just dodge the incoming attacks and stay on offense to finish the job.
At the end of the battle, you will acquire the Banished Knight Oleg summoning ashes in the Elden Ring. Now you get the ability to summon the knight according to your need.
