What is Revered Spirit Ash in Elden Ring?

A warrior fights in Elden Ring.

There's no denying that Elden Ring is a tough game with a lot of enemies and bosses that can really test your mettle. Luckily, alongside the ability to improve your weapons, you can also find a variety of Spirit Ashes that can be used to summon spirits to help you in battle. There are tons of these to choose from, and while some are objectively better than others at different things, even the worst ones can add a bit of extra survivability or damage output when you're in sticky situations.

While these Spirit Ashes can only be improved to level 10 in the base game, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion allows you to increase their damage and defense even further when finding and using Revered Spirit Ash. Here's everything you need to know about Revered Spirit Ash.
How Revered Spirit Ash works
You'll discover multiple Revered Spirit Ash throughout your journey in the Land of Shadow. As you find them, you can take them to any Site of Grace and select to enhance your Shadow Realm Blessing, granting your Spirit Ashes the ability to deal and take more damage in combat.

5 great weapons you should try in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

The hand-to-hand combat style in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Elden Ring certainly has no shortage of weapons in its base game, yet its long-awaited expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, comes packing dozens more for players to uncover and add to their arsenal. Eight fresh weapon types have been added to the game with the DLC, meaning you'll be able to find all-new ways to take out foes — whether it's beating them down with dueling shields or slicing them to pieces with massive katanas. The very best weapon for you will be one that suits your playstyle and build, but we've compiled a list of our five favorites and why we think you should track them down for your collection.
Smithscript Greathammer

The Smithscript Greathammer looks like a pretty standard greathammer at a glance, but this new weapon — found in a ruined forge midway through the DLC — has a cool trick up its sleeve: It can be thrown. Think of this armament as a giant version of Thor's Mjölnir, as holding down its heavy attack sends you into a spin that ultimately throws the hammer at your foes and returns it to your hand almost immediately. This makes it a stellar choice for builds that focus mostly on bonking foes at melee range, giving you just a bit of ranged effectiveness when you really need to keep your distance.
