Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adds 25 new collectible items called Revered Spirit Ashes. They can be redeemed at Sites of Grace to receive Revered Spirit Ash Blessings which permanently upgrades summoned spirits’ and spectral steed’s abilities to deal and negate more damage.
Finding a large amount of Revered Spirit Ashes can make the DLC easier. Especially against the hardest bosses your summoned Ashen Spirits will be able to survive more hits. These items are frequently found at Altars. At Sites of Grace you can check how many Blessings you received, but the more you have the more Ashes they will cost per Blessing.
Also refer to Scadutree Fragments, they give you more damage negation from all sources, allowing you to survive more hits.

7. Enir-Ilim
POINT OF NO RETURN WARNING – SEALING TREE: Using the Sealing Tree behind the Church of Bud will make most NPCs disappear from the game. You will no longer be able to advance their side questlines. The ones that remain in the game are Ymir & Jolán (found at Cathedral of Manus Metyr), Igon (found at Pillar Path Waypoint and then throughout Jagged Peak), Dragon Communion Priestess (found at Grand Altar of Dragon Communion until you defeat Bayle the Dread), Fire Knight Queelign, and Moore (he’s still there but his quest will fail). All other NPCs will be removed from the world. So if you have any unfinished side questlines do them now, it’s your last chance! You can still free-roam the world at any point after here, just the NPCs will disappear.
IMPORTANT – NPC Helpers for Endboss: It’s HIGHLY recommended to finish the questlines of St. Trina / Thiollier + Leda / Sir Ansbach. Then you can summon Thiollier and Sir Ansbach to help during the final boss fight. This makes it much easier. Without doing this you’d be on your own during the final boss fight which can make it nearly impossible to beat without overleveling or using game-breaking builds (it’s by far the hardest boss in the entire game).
- St. Trina & Thiollier Side Questline
- Sir Ansbach & Leda & Freyja Side Questline
- Dryleaf Dane Side Questline
- Moore Side Questline
- Igon Side Questline (can still be done after Point of No Return)
- Ymir & Jolán Side Questline (can still be done after Point of No Return)
- Fire Knight Queelign Side Questline (can still be done after Point of No Return)
- (Hornsent Side Questline – his questline autocompletes later during the Enir-Ilim section so don’t worry about this one)
Spirit Ash Blessing #22
In Enir-Ilim, dropped by the fat enemy holding candles that’s walking around the courtyard after Site of Grace: First Rise, where a bunch of smaller enemies are praying.
Spirit Ash Blessing #23-#24
From “First Rise” site of grace go outside to the courtyard (same place where the fat enemy is walking around that drops another Revered Spirit Ash). When you reach the first bridge leading to the courtyard drop down this bridge instead of going over it. At the bottom you find some enemies praying at an altar, the item is at the altar. Same floor as the big root of a tree. This contains 2 Ash Blessings in one pickup.
Spirit Ash Blessing #25
From “Spiral Rise” site of grace go upstairs and step out onto the roof. Go over the roof, you will encounter some bird enemies. After exiting the roof, enter the first room on the left (a small chapel) to find this inside.
