How do Elden Ring ghosts work?
How to use Spirit Ashes in Combat – Spirit Ashes can only be summoned in certain locations, and will disappear under two conditions
If you move out of the Spirit Calling range (more information on how to identify that below). If you vanquish the boss of the area.
To know whether or not you’re in a location that allows for Spirit Summons, you will see a white gravestone icon in the bottom left corner of your HUD. If you are fighting a field boss and move out of Spirit Summons range, the icon in the corner will begin to flash.
- The further you move out of these boundaries, the quicker it will flash; when it disappears, your Spirit will also have dissipated.
- It’s worth keeping an eye on this, as you will need to rest at a Site of Grace to re-summon if you move too out of range.
- To summon these Spirits, you will need to select them from your inventory to activate.
Your character will automatically ring the Spirit Calling Bell (no need to equip it) and your Spirit will come to your aid. Note that many require a certain amount of FP, with more powerful/legendary Spirits requiring greater resources to cast. We recommend equipping your preferred Spirit Ashes in your quick bar for ease of access; many dungeon boss battles offer a limited amount of time to summon before combat engages, having quick access to call your allies for help is wise.
- Advertisement NOTE: Only one type of Spirit Ashes may be summoned at a time, and these cannot be used during multiplayer.
- Think strategically about when you want to co-op versus use Spirit Ashes; playing multiplayer increases the HP and damage output of bosses while Spirit Ashes do not.
- Nowing which Spirit you want to summon for an upcoming battle can depend heavily on what you need most for the fight.
Sometimes they serve best as distractions for a boss, while other times you’ll want a powerful Spirit to support you with ranged fire or to simply tank enemy hits. We recommend trying out several different types to figure out which fit your playstyle best.

What are the apparitions in Elden Ring?
“Elden Ring” already presents players with a non-stop gauntlet of difficult foes and perilous challenges, but players can inadvertently make their time with the title even more difficult. Though “Elden Ring” has only been in players’ hands for a little less than a week, the title has already proven itself a massive success, generating a glowing reception from fans and critics alike,
However, with its immediate popularity and the scores of players diving right into the title, some are finding that they’re accidentally making the game harder than it has to be. Early on in “Elden Ring” there’s an interaction with an NPC that’s easy to miss. While this NPC isn’t the one that connects all FromSoftware titles, skipping a conversation with them means players won’t have access to an item that adds a near-essential gameplay feature.
“Elden Ring” introduced a Spirit Summoning mechanic that lets players call forth ghostly apparitions of enemies to fight on their behalf — but before players can use the power of Spirit Summoning, they’ll need an item offered by a peculiar witch. Meeting this NPC will require specific conditions to be met and necessitate some planning around the game’s day/night cycle.

Where does the ghost lead you in Elden Ring?
Mistwood Ruins – Elden Ring Wiki Guide – IGN Just southwest of the Map Stelle, you’ll soon find the Mistwood Ruins hidden among the trees and vegetation. A ghost NPC will lead you to these ruins if you examine the spectral candelabra near the watering hole.
This ghost NPC often disappears but will leave glowing footsteps that you can follow. Directly following his tracks can lead you too close to the Runebear that’s scratching the tree, so we recommend following him from the opposite side of the main road until you pass the Runebear. There is another Runebear sleeping inside the ruins, blocking the entrance to the underground cellar.
While you can use your summoning ashes to fight them, you can roll down to the basement after attacking them—the Runebear won’t be able to follow you down there. Go ahead and loot the ; and make your way out safely. In addition, the Mistwood Ruins are the starting point for,

What happens if you show Deathroot Elden Ring?
Meet D, Hunter of the Dead – As you ride east along the road across northern Limgrave, you’ll find an NPC named D, Hunter of the Dead about halfway between the Saintsbridge and Summonwater Village Outskirts sites of grace. He’ll tell you about how dangerous is. If you ignore him and defeat the Tibia Mariner there, you’ll get a deathroot and he’ll move to Roundtable Hold,

What does hugging the NPC in Elden Ring do?
Elden Ring Fia’s Hug Debuff Explained – If you let Fia embrace you in Roundtable Hold, a status icon with a red square and an arrow pointing down appears below your health and FP bars. This indicates a reduction in your HP. It’s a small reduction of 5%, but it can still make a difference in most encounters, especially challenging ones such as the Margit and Godrick boss fights.
- The debuff isn’t permanent, though.
- You can get your health back by using the item Fia gives you with the hug: Baldachin’s Blessing.
- Whether this is worthwhile depends on your playstyle.
- The hug debuff can have catastrophic effects, but the higher Poise it offers means you can withstand prolonged assaults from enemies without breaking stance.
The Blessing isn’t essential, though it’s worth using if you need an extra edge in battle. 
One Tarnished’s Blessing is another one’s death knell

What is Elden Ring most popular message?
News You Can Use – Probably the most obvious positive use of Elden Ring’s messaging system is its ability to convey useful, relevant, accurate, immediate information about its world to its users. “Trap ahead.” “behind!” “Be wary of left.” “group ahead; therefore, try summoning.” Like every other message in Elden Ring, there’s a certain amount of deciphering needed due to the limited nature of the game’s communications.
Ambush ahead” is easy enough, but “Be wary of up” sounds a little funny the first time you hear it, before a little goblin drops on your head and you realize that phrasing is warning you about danger in a particular direction. Every message in Elden Ring has the potential to be its own two-sentence micro-guide for the game – no Google searches required.
For instance, a developer-placed message next to a statue in Liurna suggests use of the gesture “Erudition” in order to unlock a magic door nearby. But just using the erudition gesture doesn’t work and players might be confused, were it not for a handy player message nearby reading “Try head” that attached the erudition gesture to the message so players could see the ghostly form of the player who had left it, wearing one of the glintstone crown helms.
Players who have already been to Raya Lucaria likely already learned “head” is Elden Ring shorthand for the enemies wearing those exact hats, leading to the logical conclusion that the puzzle required the erudition gesture be done with a glintstone crown helm on. What’s so wholesome about this is that players leave these messages almost entirely out of altruism.
The benefits to having others rate a message well or poorly are miniscule – there’s no way to directly comment on a message, nor any guarantee anyone else will see it or care. Every message warning of danger is, presumably, left by someone who themselves died or was otherwise inconvenienced by the very problem they’re warning about, and in that frustration opted to take the time and energy to circle back and help others avoid the same fate for little to no reward.
Elden Ring’s system isn’t troll-proof, though. The Lands Between is rife with “Try jumping” messages right next to bottomless chasms that will instantly kill anyone who drops down, or “Try attacking” next to completely solid walls. But part of the brilliance of Elden Ring’s limited player interactions is they ensure tricking someone into throwing themselves off a cliff is about the worst thing anyone can do to anyone else.
If they succeed in sending a player to their demise, or wasting five seconds of their time hitting a wall, there’s no positive feedback beyond the quiet assumption that someone, somewhere, fell for it. Alternatively, someone may post a “liar ahead” message next to false information after being fooled by it once, oddly adding an almost message board-like element to an otherwise one-way messaging system.
- There’s no way to directly insult other players, spam them, or send any message less appropriate than “try finger, but hole” placed next to basically anything related to fingers or a creature’s rear end.
- Outside of being a nuisance to someone’s day via opt-in PvP invading – the only other real social element to Elden Ring beyond co-op – a tricky message, and a perhaps momentary bit of frustration is the worst that can happen.
With a community dedicated to earnest, altruistic information exchange, a lack of feedback for misinformation and trolling, and no real direct way to bother other players who don’t want to be bothered, Elden Ring has established an information system that can, by and large, be trusted.

Where did the summon lady go Elden Ring?
How to get the Spirit Calling Bell in Elden Ring – To be able to summon spirits from ashes in Elden Ring, you need a special item called “Calling Bell”. There is only one known way to get it – from Renna the witch. You will find Renna most likely at the Church of Elleh Grace checkpoint.
She is sitting on the eastern ruined wall of the church. This is the same place where you meet the first vendor in Elden Ring – Kale. The Church of Elleh is most likely the second Grace checkpoint you will discover once you reach the first area Limgrave after the tutorial. It is directly to the north from where you start the game.
Past the Tree Sentinel, which you should most likely skip when you first encounter it. You may have already been here before if you followed my guide on how to get your mount Torrent, If you don’t yet know how to reveal and use the map in Elden Ring, I have a great guide to help you take full advantage of it! Renna is a spirit. She is dressed in a furry cloak and wears a wizard’s pointy hat. It is very likely that you will not see Renna the first time you visit this place. If that is the case, explore a bit more of the Lands Between and return later to check again. I found her after I went on to explore the Stormfoot Catacombs, where you will find some Ashes by the way – the Wandering Noble Ashes. This item allows you to summon five spirits of noblemen to fight for you. They provide an excellent distraction in crowded places, but can’t take much beating. After you talk to Renna, she will give you the item you need to be able to summon spirits. It’s called “Spirit Calling Bell”. All you have to do is talk to this NPC. The item is granted to you for free. In the conversation, Renna asks if you can summon your Torrent yet. I had my mount, so I answered yes. I don’t know what would happen if you answer negatively. At least this is a sign that you can meet Renna before you get to the third lost grace location to get your mount. Renna will give you the Lone Wolf Ashes for free. This is an item you can use to summon three wolves. They are very ferocious and fast. They don’t have a large health pool (unless upgraded, but that’s a topic for another guide).

What is the penalty for killing merchants in Elden Ring?
Elden Ring: Should You Kill the Merchants – To put things simply, there is no apparent negative consequence for killing the game’s merchants. In fact, there is a very compelling reason to slay them, and that is that each one drops a Bell Bearing when dispatched. 
Despite the convenience that killing the merchants in Elden Ring offers, some players may still be uncomfortable with executing them. For those fans that are indeed on the fence, a bit more information about the merchants may be helpful, as the lore that surrounds them may serve to inform the decision.
Here is that information, which has been pulled from the Nomadic Merchant’s Armor Set, and players that want to discover this lore in-game are advised to stop reading now: These merchants once thrived as the Great Caravan, but after being accused of heretical beliefs, their entire clan was rounded up and buried alive far underground.
Then, they chanted a curse of despair, and summoned the flame of frenzy. One final point that may be worth mentioning is that Merchant Kale, who is located in the Church of Elleh in Limgrave, does a play a role in the beginning of Blaidd’s questline in Elden Ring,
- However, dispatching the vendor will not prevent players from seeing that story to its conclusion, as he will drop the item that is relevant to the questline when slain.
- Additionally, fans should not be too worried if they do not receive the item upon killing Kale, as they can still pickup Blaidd’s thread later in the game.
