All Legendary Spirit Summon Locations in Shadow of the Erdtree (2024)

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree brought many new spirit ashes to help players in their journey through the Shadow Realm. The game already featured many powerful summons like Black Knife Tiche and Mimic Tear, but if you have grown bored of using the same summons, the DLC has some pretty strong spirit ashes for you to use.

The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has added 20 spirit ashes. These new summons vary from typical enemies found in the Lands of Shadow, like Spider Scorpion Ashes or Gravebird Ashes , to powerful named characters like Fire Knight Queelign and Ancient Dragon Florissax. Out of all the new summons, the following three are of legendary rarity:

• Taylew The Golem Smith
• Divine Bird Warrior Ornis
• Ancient Dragon Florissax

Follow this guide to find the location of all legendary spirits in the Elden Ring DLC and how to collect them.

While exploring the lands of Shadow, you will find hidden ruined forges home to golem smiths. These are some of the tankiest enemies in the game, but they have a weak spot on their back. As enemies cannot target weak spots nor take critical hits, tanky summons like Taylew the Golem Smith can come in quite handy.

To get the Taylew the Golem Smith summon, you will have to visit Taylew’s Ruined Forge located at the base of Ancient Rauh Ruins. You can find this dungeon by going north from the Ancient Ruins Base site of grace. Like all ruined forges, you will have to search for a furnace usually located at the end of the dungeon and interact with it to receive the reward. In the case of Taylew’s Ruined Forge, the reward is a legendary summon called Taylew the Golem Smith.

Taylew the Golem Smith is the tankiest summon in the Elden Ring DLC and can help you distract mighty bosses like Promised Consort Radahn, Radagon, and more. With the new Heal from Afar incantation, you can also safely heal your summons to help them survive longer during battles.

How to Get Divine Bird Warrior Ornis

Divine Bird Warrior Ornis is one of the strongest summons in the Elden Ring DLC because of his ability to fly and his powerful moveset. This spirit ash gets bonus points for its description, as it describes Ornis as the first to be granted the power to wield feathers and wings. All other horned warriors you will find in the Lands of Shadow are his descendants.

You don’t have to fight any boss to get the Divine Bird Warrior Ornis spirit ashes. To get it, you will have to first go to the Temple Town Ruins at the base of Ancient Ruins of Rauh. From Temple Town Ruins, head north to find a spiritspring jump past a few Kindreds of Rot. Take this spiritspring jump to get to the roof of a ruined building in the south. You can then use Torrent to jump onto the ledge east of the building. From there, follow the path uphill to find a building with a chest. Open this chest to find the Divine Bird Warrior Ornis.

How to Get Ancient Dragon Florissax

Ancient Dragon Florissax is probably the hardest spirit ash to get in the Elden Ring DLC. To get Ancient Dragon Florissax, you will have to reach the alternative ending of the Dragon Communion Priestess questline. Before you start progressing her questline, you will have to deliver Black Syrup from Moore to Thiollier and get Thiollier’s Concoction.

After you have received Thiollier’s Concoction, use it on the Dragon Communion Priestess at night while she’s trying to communicate with Placidusax. This will put her to sleep and break her ties with the Dragonlord. Next, you will have to beat Bayle The Dread and talk to her again to get the Dragonbolt of Florissax incantation.

After receiving the incantation, talk to the Priestess and tell her the truth about putting her to sleep. Continue talking to her, and she will request you to become her new lord. Accepting her request will reward you with the Ancient Dragon Florissax summon. However, going through this ending will lock you out of getting the Flowerstone Gavel weapon and Priestess Heart, an item that lets you transform into a humanoid Ancient Dragon.

How to Level Up Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring

After collecting any spirit ashes, the first priority should be to level them up. At the base level, most summons can barely survive or take hits from powerful enemies. To make sure they actually prove to be helpful, you will have to level them up using Grave Gloveworts and Ghost Gloveworts.

You can upgrade spirit ashes after progressing through Roderika’s questline. She will turn into a spirit tuner and sit next to Smithing Master Hewg in the Roundtable Hold. You can interact with her to upgrade your spirit ashes using Grave and Ghost Gloveworts. If you have collected all Grave and Ghost Gloveworts bell bearings, you can give them to Twin Maiden Husks for an infinite supply of both Gloveworts [1-9]. To max out a spirit summon, you will need a Great Ghost Glovewort or Great Grave Glovewort, which are rare, with limited items available, only a few per playthrough.
