Mastering the treacherous landscapes of the Lands Between in Elden Ring requires utilizing every strategic advantage available to the Tarnished. Among the most powerful tools at your disposal are Spirit Ashes, spectral entities that can be summoned to aid you during intense boss encounters. Finding all six legendary variants not only provides immense tactical support but also unlocks a coveted achievement for dedicated completionists.
Early Game Legendary Spirits in Limgrave and Liurnia
Your journey to collect these powerful spectral allies begins relatively early in the exploration of the southern sub-regions. In the Weeping Peninsula, players can brave the Tombsward Catacombs to challenge the local Cemetery Shade boss. Defeating this eerie foe rewards you with Lhutel the Headless, a heavily armored knight capable of teleporting and throwing spectral lances. Moving north into Liurnia of the Lakes, navigating the Sainted Hero's Catacombs leads to a confrontation with an Ancient Hero of Zamor. Overcoming this chilly adversary grants you the Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff, who excels at tanking damage and striking enemies with lightning attributes.
Mid Game Summons Hidden within Caelid and Altus Plateau
As the narrative difficulty increases, the locations of these legendary items become significantly more dangerous and require thorough exploration. Deep within the blood-soaked sands of Caelid, players must first defeat Starscourge Radahn to grant entry into the War-Dead Catacombs located at the northern edge of the desert. Inside this chaotic dungeon, conquering the Putrid Tree Spirit rewards you with Redmane Knight Ogha, a powerful archer who fires devastating gravity arrows from afar. Meanwhile, exploring the Altus Plateau leads players toward the Capital Outskirts where the unique Omenkiller Rollo can be acquired. To secure his aggressive dual-cleaver combat skills, you must successfully navigate the dark expanse of the Divine Tower of East Altus and defeat the Fell Twins encounter.
Late Game Legends in the Haligtree and Mountaintops
The final pieces of the legendary collection are tucked away inside the most brutal endgame environments where survival becomes a constant struggle. Within the hidden canopy of Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree, players must search the rooftops carefully near the Elphael Inner Wall site of grace. Guarded by dangerous cleanrot knights, a hidden chest contains the ashes of Cleanrot Knight Finlay, celebrated for carrying Malenia out of the scarlet rot battlefields. Finally, no collection is complete without tracking down the elusive Black Knife Tiche, widely considered one of the absolute best summons in the entire game. She can be challenged at the Ringleader's Evergaol, which is accessible only after completing a major portion of Ranni the Witch's extensive side questline.
