Elden Ring: Spirit Ashes Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

If you are looking to balance the odds against the Lands Between's most brutal bosses, you'll have to start looking for the Elden Ring Spirit Ashes.

These spectral summons—ranging from loyal wolves to legendary knights—allow you to distract enemies and unleash specialized damage types in both the base game and the Nightreign expansion.

Essential Base Game Spirit Ashes

Securing these Spirit Ashes early is an essential part of building a survivable character:

• Lone Wolf Ashes: Gifted by Ranni the Witch at the Church of Elleh. These are recommended for early-game crowd control.
• Lhutel the Headless: Found by defeating the Cemetery Shade in the Tombsward Catacombs (Weeping Peninsula). She is a top choice for a tanky, teleporting ally.
• Mimic Tear: Located in a chest behind an Imp Seal Statue in Nokron, Eternal City. This summon is the main source of power for high-level builds, as it copies your exact equipment.
• Black Knife Tiche: Obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader, in the Ringleader's Evergaol (Liurnia). She is the best for draining boss health with her destined death attacks.

Shadow of the Erdtree: Elite DLC Summons

In the Realm of Shadow, these ashes are required for surviving the expansion's higher difficulty spikes:

• Taylew the Golem Smith: Found in Taylew's Ruined Forge. This summon is a good source of physical defense, acting as a massive wall for casters.
• Curseblade Meera: Earned by clearing the Bonny Gaol. She is the best for aggressive, fast-moving builds that need a partner to maintain pressure.
• Fire Knight Queelign: Obtained by finishing his questline in the Shadow Keep. This summon plays an important role in any fire-based offensive strategy.

Nightreign Limveld Spirit Echoes

The latest Nightreign update introduces a specialized "Spirit Echo" system for the Limveld region.

• Spectral Echoes: These are found primarily in the Forsaken Hollows during "Shadow Leak" events.
• The Undertaker's Advantage: For those playing the Undertaker class, these ashes are mandatory. The Undertaker can "attune" to these spirits to learn their moves directly, making them the top recommendation for class-specific progression.
• Nightreign Castle Sewers: Because the castle is randomized, rare Spirit Ashes often spawn in hidden chests behind shifting walls. Finding the Sewer-Stitched Specter here is the best way to handle the castle's randomized traps.
