You need Spirit Ashes to summon allies, and that’s a fun element of this new mechanic. These ashes are located throughout the world, in chests and as a reward for defeating certain bosses. This makes Elden Ring a game of summoning as you expand your ever-growing catalog of summons. However, they can be quite tricky to find, so here is the Elden Ring summons we’ve found so far.
How to summon in Elden Ring
Once you get the Spirit Calling Bell, all you have to do is use your ashes as a consumable to use it. These calls are temporary and will cost FP. They can also only be summoned in certain locations, such as boss battles, dungeons, and marked areas filled with enemies.
If you plan to summon regularly, I especially recommend getting the Sky Blue Hidden Tear for the Flask of Miraculous Medicine, as it eliminates all FP costs for a short period, effectively making your summoning free and independent of your FP limit.
