Elden Ring allows players to use a number of different abilities and special moves to take down enemies, and that even includes summoning spirits that can aid in fights. These ghostly allies can turn the tide of battle with unique attacks, or by simply serving as temporary distractions. If you’re wondering how to upgrade Spirit Ashes Summons in Elden Ring, we have the details on how to do just that.
How to Upgrade Spirit Ashes Summons in Elden Ring
The process of finally being able to upgrade your spirits is tricky if you’re wandering around randomly, but it won’t take too much time with the right info.
Here are the steps that you need to follow:
- Find Roderika at the Stormhill Shack in Limgrave if she isn’t already with you in Roundtable Hold.
She’ll give you the Jellyfish Spirit Ashes after her dialogue has been exhausted. Then, she’ll be in Roundtable Hold.
- Speak to Roderika again in Roundtable Hold, then speak to Smithing Master Hewg about her.
Hewg will say that Roderika has a talent for working with spirits.
- Tell Roderika about what Hewg said, then return to Hewg once more and exhaust his dialogue about her.
Initially, he won’t believe that Roderika wants to learn from him, but continue talking to them both anyway.
- Roderika will move to a spot near Hewg and offer to upgrade your Spirit Ashes Summons as a Spirit Tuner after learning from him.
This move will occur after you’ve exhausted their dialogue, then left and returned to the hold each time.
- Spend Runes, Grave Glovewort, and Ghost Glovewort to upgrade your spirits.
Both kinds of Glovewort are plants that can be found in catacombs where skeleton enemies reside. Be sure to have Holy attacks and Incantations to prevent the skeletons from reviving when fighting them.
So, this is a bit of an involved process that requires a lot of talking and running back and forth across Roundtable Hold. Thankfully, there aren’t any fights or difficult gameplay moments involved in setting up Roderika as a merchant.
