In Elden Ring, Spirits are companions that can help you during fights. These spirit companions are summoned with the help of Spirit Ashes, and they aid players during combat. This guide will explain how to Summon Spirits and Where to Find different spirit ashes in Elden Ring.
How to Summon Spirits in Elden Ring
To Summon Spirits in Elden Ring, you will first have to find Spirit Calling Bell. This item is not available to you from the start, and you will have to unlock it.
Next, talk to Melina, who is located in West Limgrave, after you obtain the spirit steed Torrent. Then, head to the Church of Elleh to talk to Renna, who will be sitting on a wall.
She will ask you to summon Torrent, which can be done using the Spirit seed torrent. She will give you the Spirit Calling Bell as a reward as well as the Lone Wolf Ashes. You can also purchase the Spirit Calling Bell at Roundtable Hold from the Twin Maiden Husks.
What are Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring
To summon a Spirit in Elden Ring, you will need to first find the Spirit Caller’s Ash for that Spirit. Different Spirit Ashes unlock in different manners throughout the game. Once you have unlocked a Spirit Ash of a spirit, you can utilize the spirit to help you in combat when needed.
For that, you need to head toward the Quick items in the equipment tab and put on Spirit in the empty slot. Once that is done, pressing the X or Square button on the console will ring the bell which will summon the Spirit.
Keep in mind that the Spirit Ashes can only be summoned once in any boss fight. You can check its availability by looking at the white gravestone icon at the bottom of the screen.
As a general rule, summoning Spirit Summon requires you to be in the boss arena and the Spirit Calling Range. If you get out of the Spirit Calling Range, the gravestone icon on the screen will start to blink.
Spirit Ashes will consume FP when used, and only one spirit can be summoned and activated per Rebirth Monument. In addition, the charge for Rebirth Monument only recharges when you rest at a Site of Grace, meaning that you can only summon a single Spirit Ash during a boss fight.
FP is also scarce, and it does not regenerate over time. So, it is vital to use it properly and at the right time.
How to upgrade Spirit Ashes
The Spirit Ashes can also be upgraded. To unlock the ability to upgrade Spirit Ashes, you will need to complete Roderika’s quest, who is a girl with a red hood located in Stormhill Shack.
Once unlocked, you will be able to upgrade Spirit Ashes, making them much more effective and powerful.
For Spirit Ashes, there are two types of upgrades available. One is ‘Grave Gloveworts,’ which upgrades standard spirit ashes. Whereas the ‘Ghost Gloveworts’ are upgrades for the elite spirit ashes.
