Summoning spirits in Elden Ring can provide crucial assistance in combat, making tough battles more manageable. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use summons effectively:
Unlock Summoning:
First, you need to meet Melina and unlock your horse, Torrent. After this, return to the Church of Elleh at night to meet the NPC Renna, who will give you the Spirit Calling Bell and the Lone Wolf Ashes.
Equip Spirit Ashes:
Open your inventory and equip the Spirit Ashes you want to use. These can be equipped in your quick item slots for easy access during combat.
Summon Conditions:
You can only summon spirits when you’re near a Rebirth Monument, indicated by a small white statue icon on your screen. Additionally, you must have enough FP (Focus Points) to summon the chosen spirit
.
Using the Spirit Calling Bell:
With the Spirit Calling Bell equipped, select the Spirit Ash from your quick items and press the corresponding button to summon the spirit. On PlayStation, use Square; on Xbox, use X.
Summoning Limitations:
Remember, you can only summon one type of spirit at a time, and once the spirit is defeated, you cannot summon another until you rest at a Site of Grace.
By following these steps, you can effectively use summons to gain an edge in your battles across the Lands Between.
