I have just been using the wolves so far. I like how they can distract multiple enemies and attack them. But what I really like is that when you want to sneak up on somebody to kill them from behind, the wolves sneak with you and don’t blow your stealth. That’s such a nice touch, I love this game, it’s definitely going to be game of the year.
I've found wolves are reasonably good at dodging and usually surround the enemy and only die 1 at a time and thats really all I can ask for. They're so good at distracting which is great for a semi-caster build like mine where i can move in and out of direct combat with a lot more freedom. All you need is a couple of seconds to heal & cast a sorcery or 2 sometimes and life can be so much easier. Theres been a couple of bosses that have huge AOE that just destroys them but they're pretty good in most situations
The skeleton soldiers are easily the best I’ve found so far. There’s 2 of them so great for distractions, but when they die they revive themselves unless hit when on the ground but every boss I’ve fought so far ignored them and agros my character as soon as they go done, so they’re basically indestructible, Carried me through most of the bosses in the first half of the game
@@bbk4497 the two soldiers I can't remember there name I think its godrick or something like that are my favorite ones range and ones a tank really awesome too but my favorite I got early on is the headless one she is the best against bosses as a mage she is my tank lol am gonna hit the catacombs he just showed so I can upgrade her more
Just a tip for those who don't have enough FP to use certain spirit summons, there's a way around it. The Cerulean Hidden Tear for the Wondrous Physick Mix gives you unlimited FP for a short duration and it also allows you to summon any spirit you have without having the necessary FP level to summon them. You get the Cerulean Hidden Tear from the Ulcerated Tree Spirit of the Minor Erdtree on Mt. Gelmir. Hope this helps anyone!
Brilliant. Thank you. Sometimes it seems like the amount of stuff to discover/metagame in this game, is near endless! It probably feels that way because every little thing you find makes a difference, and a lot of the obstacles take like 3, 5, 10+ tries to surmount.
Banished Knight Oleg has been a real blessing for me as a puny wee glass canon mage. His aggression really keeps the heat from me more allowing me to cast my spells, and move to a safer distance. In crowded rooms (I stare at yee Duo Pumpkins) it is divine to have him around.
This mechanic in Elden Ring is such a clever move by Fromsoft. Taking in animals and creatures into battle with you as opposed to just NPC's from previous games adds a little more connection to them. If we ever get a Demons/Dark/Borne sequel, I can see this returning in some fashion. Let's be honest, we all wanted Sif to fight alongside us. Loved that dude 😭
No idea how much I wanted an npc clashing game by fromsoft where you can summon fight alongside some. Elden ring really is the best game I’ve ever played in a long time coming from background of npc hash slack games from soft literally doesn’t fail to amaze.
It also does a lot for anyone wanting to co op, now the boss design assumes you have a friend of some sort with you and can be balanced with that in mind, so bringing a player can actually be worse than doing it without one, meaning you dont have to worry about breezing through the game and things being unfair or undeserved wins when you have a buddy, plus the variety and style to some of the summons adds a whole dynamic that you wont see when bringing players so you have more reason to do one or more solo runs of the game.
Jellyfish has been absolutely slept on. It poisons (not Bleeds as stated in the Video) and has a shitton of health, so it's pretty tanky. Any fight that you think is going to last a while can always use a Jellyfish. I'm a fan of Mimic personally, though. Nobody helps me better than myself.
Wow life goes in loops, I remember when I used to watch minecraft mapstravaganza in your channel and now I’m watching an elden ring tutorial years later. This hit nostalgia
The skeletal summons are by far the best imho. They can self-revive so they practically never quit fighting. You can get 3 skeletal archers later in the game, but I find the two militia skeletons good too
VERY IMPORTANT TIP that you don't mention: In the Catacombs to beat the Boss you have to kill the SNAIL and not the big armored dude - he's not the boss. If you kill it, the SNAIL will just resummon it again! Also Snail goes invisible after a couple of hits so you have to find it again by swinging in nearby area until you hit it again if you can't one shot it.
The snail appears when it summons the guy. Watch where it is when you walk in the room, and ignore the big guy. Just go kill the snail. This is a great tip, and it took me halfway through the first summoned guy to figure it out. He was half dead, but the boss health bar hadnt changed clued me in.
Figured out the snail guy my second time in. I was suspicious my first time when the guy didn’t lower the boss health, and looked at the name. Second time in I noticed him, it’s a pretty clever boss.
My favorite summon is the mimic tear, it’s literally an npc copy of you that has your weapon and spells as well as heals with flasks the only downside is the 600hp cost but with as many flasks you get it’s really nothing.
I got luthel early and from the Fp cost knew that it was a good summon. I had to invest a bit so I can summon it but it really helps in bosses that like the chain attacks because it teleports away and does a range attack keeping aggro while the chain attack finishes.
I started with the imp ashes keepsake they are great. Melee, range and cause bleed on bosses. They bob in and out of combat so stay alive for a while too
My favorite summon is the mimic tear. I literally makes a 1:1 copy of your character, with really good ai and depending on your build, great support and tankiness. It also uses HP to summon so you don't need to spend FP.
If you go back to the cabin you originally find Roderika in there should be a flask upgrade item where she was sitting, only after she's at the round table.
Also if you give her the chrysalid memento, she'll give you the seed as thanks at Roundtable instead. She'll also give you the jellyfish ashes after she becomes a spirit tuner in case you missed out on that.
The skeletons are definitely one of the best summons in the game, reason being unless they take a hit after going down in the reanimation process, they will just keep getting up an unlimited number of times. I've had at least one of them and sometimes all easily last entire boss fights that were lengthy. Fanged Imp's are also really good because they cause bleed damage which is broken good in this game.
Yeah, I managed to get them early from exploring before the first main boss and they’ve been incredibly useful - just have to lead bosses or enemies away when they are down
Man the skeletons are amazing, use the 2 spearmen skeletons almost exclusively but I’m not that far into the game yet! Just beat Margit and omw to godrick atm :)
@@claytonross5960 Most summons don't last very long against bosses unless they are upgraded. The benefit to the skeletons, is they have the potential to come back. They suck against bosses with holy damage.
The wolves summon+1 helped me beat the first boss Margit with such ease in under 2 minutes. I am a Lvl 30 Astrologer with Meteorite staff. I am in love with this game.
I wish I picked astrologer. Now Im focusing on upgrading my character to more of a caster. I also need to focus on strength so I can wield that grafted sword
@@Raiden_lemke The only sword you need as a caster is the 12str, 12dex, 24int, 24faith, the night and star sword. This sword is OP AF. I am building a Pally, greatsword focus with faith. My 2nd character, once i beat the game, will be a sorcerer.
@@celuiquipeut6527 Im now building a dexterity build Im kind of just exploring the different classes as I go along. But Im dual wielding the metorite katana with the uchigatana and using the skeleton armor set. Its my favorite build so far but Im stuck on that Wolf of Ragadon or whatever his name is
Godrik soldiers so far are my favorites, reason being they both have shield which makes them very tanky. The guy with hammer also stuns most enemies which saved my life countless times. They are +5 now!
The imps you pick up as a starting item are shockingly effective. They usually strafe and run around enemies l while their normal attacks build bleed, leading to big burst damage. Plus, they have a ranged bomb that usually staggers or flinches most enemies. All in all a very slept on bad ass summon.
The stray is pretty easy to get very early like 10 min into a play through if you run it down and can cheese the shit out of most bosses and encounters. He’s got decent hp, applies scarlet rot that doesn’t go away once it is in affect, he also dodges way more effectively then most other summons IMO. Oh yeah and he costs 35 fp...
It took me a long time to figure out you could upgrade your summons. Still heavily relied on Oleg during the 2nd demigod fight. Summoned him in the last phase and stunlocks the boss for days.
There is also a Rotten dog summon in the City Sellia. He can apply scarlet rott on the enemie where you can watch them die. Imo really helpful against some bosses where he can survive long enough to apply it
@1:24 No, Roderika shows up after you've rested at any grace point on the other side of Stormveil Castle. Just take the side path around the castle and rest at the first one you come too which is just before the church. Now she will have moved to the round table.
If you are like me and went a little too crazy exploring than these summons will most likely get 1 shot in the mid to end game areas. ive found that getting any undead summon will help you the most when fighting the bosses as they come back to life if no attacked after killed. the thing with undead is tho is that when they die they become untargetable so they will be there throughout the whole fight most of the time
@@Soulless1388 thats why I said most of the time, usually the thing that happens is the boss aggro swaps to you immediately giving the summon time to respawn
You just have to be careful because as soon as they begin the reanimation process, enemies can begin to target them unless you take the aggro away from them. I can't count the number of times a boss or tough enemy would kill them, start walking towards me, then immediately turn around and attack them as they start putting themselves together.
The crystilian ashes have been great since it keeps the huge damage reduction against most attacks the crystilians have and has ranged attackd are all. Basicly the best at distracting most bosses.
A good early support for squishy builds is the the Ancestral Follower gotten by beating the underground areas boss. Solid health, melee and a frankle awesome ranged shot. Really like them
I'm super early and trying to cheese the game a lot (early weapons and advantages etc). Roderika can be done before the first boss, just requires you to fast travel to the same spot a couple times to finish her story & requires you to sneak around the first boss around the castle.
Quick tip for the fringe folk heroes cave, the chariots can be destroyed by using Mogh's shackle, which is found in the sewers of the capital, guarded by two giant crayfish.
So hey, there's actually a quest related to her that you can complete. When you first talk to her, she's lamenting her cowardice for not following her men to be grafted (she seems to have had a mental break from reality to boot). If you complete all her dialogue you'll end up with a quest to find her men and give them a msg. Go thru the castle until you reach the boss that first killed you before you're teleported to the continent. After you beat it, in one of the rooms off shoot from the boss room, there's a couple of dogs eating from a pile of bodies, the item on top can be given to Roderika to progress the quest. After you get to the round table hold, complete dialogue with Roderika and she'll eventually leave to go to the hold too. From there, the Smith tells you about her talent, and you go back and forth completing the dialogue with each other as the video says. You'll get several rewards for your efforts tho, and can get the hood she's wearing when you find her on that pile of bodies after she becomes a spirit tuner.
The Skeleton Militia is amazing. If they die once, and are left alone, they just respawn. A bit squishy, but they tanked all the bosses for me so far. Plus they are super easy to get. Just find the Magical man on his magical boat at Summonwater Village and kill him.
Also, if the Jellyfish NPC isn't in the shack anymore (like it did for me), don't panic! You can just find her at the Roundtable, but you'll have to do the whole speak to blacksmith, speak to her, etc multiple times like in the video, until she's in front of him. A new dialogue option for her will show up "Please" and then she should give you the Jellyfish.
This video shows up at the top when you search “how to upgrade spirit summons in Elden ring” - that’s awesome! Great tutorial, keep up the great work Aaron!
I used to have over 50 hours of gameplay beat the game twice but quit for a bit now I've forgotten pretty much everything except for a couple of glitches I found myself and some rune farms.Sm this really helps
The Spirit Tuner will be in Roundtable Hold as soon as you activate any grace in Liurnia. Even before defeating any boss you can just go around the castle and activate the first grace. Also "Renna" only shows up at the church at Nighttime. You can just rest at the grace until nightfall.
You can get the Undead Militaman Early in the game too, what's great about them? they are UNDEAD! yes! they will rise infinite times if they don't get damaged when shatered (just like skeleton enemy)
I'm a big fan of the Marionette Soldier Ashes. 2 archers with strong fire rate, and decent survivability. They also have the spin shot ability, although that's only useful in a few situations. I usually take on the boss myself, and as long as I'm in melee range, attacking reasonably often, boss never goes for them, so they do loads of damage. Pair them with the Rot Breath, and most big stuff falls on its own.
You can get Roderika in round table hold just by talking to her three times when you first meet her. Then you can within 3 minutes basically complete the quest line that makes her a spirit tuner merchant.
The mimic is the best imo ... it is an exact copy of your character so it is always as streng as you. Killen the God devouring serpent together was a piece of cake since we both had the serpent hunters ability. It really is a game changer.
Just wanted to add, Kaiden Sellsword is another very strong summon which you get after defeating the boss at Cliffbottom catacombs. You can go there at the start of the game but the watchdog boss isnt one of the easier ones.
@@vlanson6529 You can find the Kaiden Sellsword Ashes in the Cliffbottom Catacombs in the East Liurnia Region, by defeating the boss of the mini dungeon, the Erdtree Burial Watchdog.
One of the best early on summons to get is the skeletal militia. They follow skeleton rules, so unless they get smashed once dead or hit by holy damage, they will get back up and keep fighting. They have saved my skin several times.
What also a good ash is banned night engvall when he is plus 10 he is very owerpowerd he carried malenia radahn lorreta astle and also every rembermence boss he is in the catacombs near patches
When you get out of the kristal mine in caelid and you go right there's a ruin in front of the mage city and there you can find the ash of an infested dog. It gives enemies the rot effect and it's super op
She shows up if you go straight to the lake facing cliffs lost grace to get your first entry into the roundtable. The maiden lady tells you to go to this waypoint so it's the proper story progression instead of warping to Caleid.
i have personally two other renowned spirit that i like to use, they are reward of quest and when summoned they are powerhouse, you have launaria, she is an archer that can move but can shoot from super far, she is perfect for fight dragon or boss that are into big area. the second is the swordmistress and monk of nox (don't remember the exact name) you can get it in the area unlocked by the quest of ranni super powerfull
I believe Roderika appearing at the Roundtable is triggered if you get past Stormveil castle, whether you beat the boss of it or not. There's cliffside path after a bridge that completely goes around Stormveil to the north and ends at a site of Lost Grace. I think if you activate that and rest there, that probably triggers it.
Lhutel is the best summon in the game for magic builds imo (outside the mimic which is just OP for everyone). Oleg is great but if you're a caster you don't really NEED your summon to do good damage, you just need them to hold aggro and survive while you spam spells. Lhutal being able to teleport around and being able to attack from range helps her keep aggro a lot better and I've found she's generally more survivable. Also the boss you have to beat is easier than Oleg's imo.
Rodericka has two requisits for showing up at the Round Table. Either you activate a grace past the Godrick area of the game or you fight your way all the way through Stormveil Castle till you get to the area with a Grafted Scion. Once you loot a Momento in that area you can come back and give it to her showing her the fate of her grafted men. She will then tell you she's headed to the round table to find her purpose and be of some use to the members of the Round Table. I'm pretty sure any grace point beyond Godrick's domain counts. But it's certain she'll show up at the Roundtable hall if you travel north and take the cliff path to the Grace point near The Church of Irith.
Stormfoot Catacombs has two summons in. There is the Noble Summons, which is a group of about 4 or 5 dudes, pretty squishy but they run good interference and the noble sorcerer which fires off a ranged magic missle.
I used wolves till i got that cemetery shadow down the twinsage is really great in terms of taunting ppl also he deals a lot of dmg close range surprisingly
Just a quick progression tip, cross the mad pumpkins bridge in limgrave and grab the waypoint right by the wayfarer, then ride your horse on the left side towards the scorched church. Make sure you stay as far left as possible when jumping up with the horse, then go to the grace there. That grace will immediately unlock roundtable hold. After you unlock roundtabpe hold and exhaust the commentary with roderika, take the roundabout path from stormveil to liurnia, and stay at that grace. After you get back to roundtabpe hold roderika will now be there, and go back to roderikas shack and she will have left behind a golden seed
Skele bros have helped me through every single boss fight. While they reanimate, I dodge and avoid, until they can draw aggro again. I beat Godrick with Skele Bros and a Longbow +2 with 50 poison arrows. Never took any dmg
I know this is way later into the game, but there is a summon called the Mimic Tear Ashes, that costs health instead of FP, which is great for tank builds that don't have a lot of levels in Mind. This summon creates a copy of you, that deals Massive damage when you wield the right gear and is really healthy.
The best is to have the best tankiest armor and strongest swords that you cant cary and summon then your spirit and after that you can just unequip the Things to your Otter stuff
1:15 Heads up, you do not need to beat the first boss for Rodricka to go to the roundtable. I haven't entered Stormviel's castle once but managed to find her at the shack. I think npcs move based on how far you traverse the map. When getting to the second area (without going against the boss) she was at the roundtable for me, speaking to her then the smith and so forth will get her to eventually upgrade summons. I heard you can miss something if she leaves without giving her a key item but not sure if that's true or not yet.
@@midnightjay yeah but honestly I missed one isn't too bad. Recently got into the Altus area and like I got 4 golden seeds within 30 seconds. I was shocked 🤣
I got my storm hawk from doing the painting puzzle, from the painting you find in Stormveil castle, the view you have to find is the cliffs behind the church of pilgrimage (cliffs just north of it). No boss kill needed, so it might be easier for low level players. I thought it was a summon specifically to help with the Godric fight, since it flies Godric's huge ground AoE attacks can't hurt the murder bird.
She actually moves to the roundtable hold right after you give her a letter. Not when you defeat Godrick. You can do it before fighting him. However I don't remember where I got the letter from to give to her. But yeah. ^-^
Actually you just need to exhaust her dialogue and go near the bridge to get the cutscene to go to roundtable and she goes there automatically. No need to give her anything.
i like the wolves if i wanna be sneaky, they don't attack unless you do...or the entire situation goes fubar or if I just want a ton of chaos, those 5...or was it 6... demi humans are my go to, they have that WAAAAAGH energy
She appears when you rest at a grace past the castle. If you skip it (go around) and activate the grace,she will be at the round table. Her hood will then be an item you loot in the castle on a pile of corpses (near that mini boss). Normally the item she wanted was there.
These were great choices, one I think is also really good at the start are the undead soldiers. Given how they come back they become a much longer distraction for boss battles with heavy hitters
Now, hear me out: Rotten Stray. It naturally gives enemies scarlet rot. I used it to beat Margit, Godrick, several dragons, the Draconic Tree Sentinel, and the Red Wolf of Radagon without having to attack once. So yeah, slightly strong.
Banished Knight Oleg is the best in the list in this video. I am using him right now and he helps ALOT. Especially against group of enemies. And I also like that this guy is quite tanky too last long in boss figths.
It would really help if you would take two minutes to grab the map fragment before showing where on the map a location is. If you look at an undiscovered main region that you've entered, you can see a little icon showing where the map fragment is. The only one that's not immediately easy to obtain is northern Caelid.
She moves to roundtable after you give her the chrysalid item, found in a room next to the kitchen with the grafted scion miniboss (one of the shortcuts from the tower with both elevators on the left), the room outside with dogs.
Where are the Gargoyles that I used to defeat Gorwrick? Just for 55fp they do awesome damage(keep them alive by fighting alongside them) by taking out a huge chunk of the enemy's health and are very helpful *for your early gameplay*.
She shows up after you get on the other side of the castle. You don't have to beat the castle boss. Just use the shortcut to go around and get the Grace point in Liurnia of the Lakes. Also return to the shack where she was. There will be a golden seed.
Lhutel the headless was so darn useful on encounters with two bosses. He would just tank the other one until I was done with first guy. I think I used him in most of the fights where I got stuck.
I got the wolves, and i dont remember talking to the witch... lolwut? also... I cant summon the wolves and my FP is high enough.. I dont think ive got the bell?...
If you got the horse go to the church with the santa looking vendor at night and there will be a witch there that gives you the bell and the wolves. You dont have to use the bell itself just put the wolves on your hotbar and use em. You have to be near certain tombstones to summon them, there will be an icon on your screen
@@searablacksoul Actually I solved my issue, This method works only if you do it RIGHT away. If you go and progress further into the story like I did before doing this and talk to the lady on the bridge to the north you end up getting the wolf summon sooner (before meeting the witch at the church) Thus the scene wont ever trigger. Those of you that end up going too far into the story, you can BUY a bell for 100ruin stones(souls?) at the round table place you can teleport from the map at the bottom right corner. There is a statue in the back past the edge lord skeleton guy that gives you an emote to stand edgy like him. The statue thing at the back has bells for sale. This is really important to anyone not following any type of guide and cant figure out why they cant summon but have the wolf summon in their inventory. It made me think I was going crazy.
You can get her to the round table by defeating a mini boss in stormveil castle. It’s the boss that you also fight at the start of the tutorial that (most likely) killed you. She talks about it in her dialog. Once you kill the boss, go back to her and give her the item and she then goes to the round table!
@@Raiden_lemke and I believe that’s the item you get for killing that weird spider looking boss in the castle since that’s what she talks about in her dialogue
@@Raiden_lemke oh weird. I guess I didn’t pay attention enough but I swear it was from them. Must have been a random item pick up in the castle near the spider!
To clear up the roderika appearing time, you need to progress through stormveil castle, getting the chrysalids medallion. Then giving her the medallion she’ll appear
For fighting Godrick and that first mini boss in the castle, the jellyfish summon was the best in winning those fights. The huge summon kept the bosses away from us enough time for me to nuke then with spells from far. That summoned npc tarnished girl did not have to engage ...
So many people leave out the godrick soldiers. I use them a lot and you can get very early in the game. I got them after the jellyfish. Across the road from the storm hill shack. With your back facing the shack, cross the road and there is a cliff on your right. Go along the edge of the cliff until you can get on top of it. There are 3(I think) grave yards. The one with the jellyfish already turned red is where you'll find the soldiers ashes.
Very early in the game I've spent a freaking week running around the northern part of the map trying to figure out where the quest is after I got teleported there after looting the dragon burn ruins. Then I had to run around the at area from east to west and then south. I feel like I've spoiled the game for myself a bit that way.
I was stuck on the Mad Pumpkin Head before that one sorcery merchant (forgot her name already) and getting the wolves helped so much. I was able to get the Carian Slicer right after
My favorite that i +10 is Latenna The Albinauric. She rapids fire triple shots of magic infused arrows. Yes she is a turret not being able to move but the sheer aggro she deals makes ranged builds pull the enemy back and forth. She hits enemy goes for her, i Hit it goes for me and repeat. In open areas i love placing her on a spot enemies wouldnt be able to reach easily.
I still think the mimic summon is hands down the best. I hope they don't nerf it since it's an exact copy of the player and players abilities with unlimited fp

The skeletal summons are by far the best imho. They can self-revive so they practically never quit fighting. You can get 3 skeletal archers later in the game, but I find the two militia skeletons good too
Just like the skeletons you fight, if they get hit while reviving they will permanently die, which happens more often than not on most boss fights
militia skeletons are goated

Great tip thanks. Plus if you can't find the snail there will be a glowing white light where it's at
The snail appears when it summons the guy. Watch where it is when you walk in the room, and ignore the big guy. Just go kill the snail. This is a great tip, and it took me halfway through the first summoned guy to figure it out. He was half dead, but the boss health bar hadnt changed clued me in.
Figured out the snail guy my second time in. I was suspicious my first time when the guy didn’t lower the boss health, and looked at the name. Second time in I noticed him, it’s a pretty clever boss.
You should add timestamps to your videos
My favorite summon is the mimic tear, it’s literally an npc copy of you that has your weapon and spells as well as heals with flasks the only downside is the 600hp cost but with as many flasks you get it’s really nothing.
Yeah, I can't believe he didn't put the mimic tear. If your character is a beast, being able to have another you is invaluable
@@cbodley4676 This is about "early" summons. Mimic is pretty late
Mimic summon kinda OP is my only problem with it makes some things just too easy
It’s an endgame mimic so it’s intended to be the toughest. Except mine kinda sucks lol
@@jeg812ify mimic is early to mid game
I got luthel early and from the Fp cost knew that it was a good summon. I had to invest a bit so I can summon it but it really helps in bosses that like the chain attacks because it teleports away and does a range attack keeping aggro while the chain attack finishes.
she lose agro the moment she teleports. happens a lot when i got 1smack dead by the boss when i did nothing from a distance.
@@whiz16 i know that now 😂 using mimic tear ash and the ringleader ash now
I started with the imp ashes keepsake they are great. Melee, range and cause bleed on bosses. They bob in and out of combat so stay alive for a while too
They give bleed effect too?
@@AceAxteria yup sure do
How you get them?
@@iamergoproxy3476 You can select Fanged Imp Ashes as Keepsake during Character Creation
Or buy from isolated merchant npc
I started with them I need to get the thing to summon them but are they better then wolves or jellyfesh?
My favorite summon is the mimic tear. I literally makes a 1:1 copy of your character, with really good ai and depending on your build, great support and tankiness. It also uses HP to summon so you don't need to spend FP.
Holy shit... you weren't kidding.
Thank you!
Love summoning in games and this mimic is easily going to be my most favorite for the foreseeable future.
Where to find it?

One thing to point out, it colors your current equipped great, meaning you can slap whatever great you want it to wear and then equip yours back
I've been rolling with the 5 demi human summons. They my boys! Screaming at and smashing things
If you go back to the cabin you originally find Roderika in there should be a flask upgrade item where she was sitting, only after she's at the round table.
Also if you give her the chrysalid memento, she'll give you the seed as thanks at Roundtable instead. She'll also give you the jellyfish ashes after she becomes a spirit tuner in case you missed out on that.
It was a golden seed
@@alexh.3045 good to know thank you!
Played this game for years now since it came out and never knew that
The skeletons are definitely one of the best summons in the game, reason being unless they take a hit after going down in the reanimation process, they will just keep getting up an unlimited number of times. I've had at least one of them and sometimes all easily last entire boss fights that were lengthy. Fanged Imp's are also really good because they cause bleed damage which is broken good in this game.
Yeah, I managed to get them early from exploring before the first main boss and they’ve been incredibly useful - just have to lead bosses or enemies away when they are down
Man the skeletons are amazing, use the 2 spearmen skeletons almost exclusively but I’m not that far into the game yet! Just beat Margit and omw to godrick atm :)
The ones with bows?
Meanwhile my skeletons have been one tapped by every boss to me they are so bad
@@claytonross5960 Most summons don't last very long against bosses unless they are upgraded. The benefit to the skeletons, is they have the potential to come back. They suck against bosses with holy damage.
The wolves summon+1 helped me beat the first boss Margit with such ease in under 2 minutes. I am a Lvl 30 Astrologer with Meteorite staff. I am in love with this game.
I wish I picked astrologer. Now Im focusing on upgrading my character to more of a caster. I also need to focus on strength so I can wield that grafted sword
try geting the moonveil katana, its perfect for int builds
I found that Margit just cleaved the wolves down before they could really do anything.
Since he's weak to poison the jellyfish absolutely wrecked him.
@@Raiden_lemke The only sword you need as a caster is the 12str, 12dex, 24int, 24faith, the night and star sword. This sword is OP AF.
I am building a Pally, greatsword focus with faith. My 2nd character, once i beat the game, will be a sorcerer.
@@celuiquipeut6527 Im now building a dexterity build Im kind of just exploring the different classes as I go along. But Im dual wielding the metorite katana with the uchigatana and using the skeleton armor set. Its my favorite build so far but Im stuck on that Wolf of Ragadon or whatever his name is
Capital content , this game is insane , playing on my own through wretch mode. Had a feeling these battles needed summons .
I've been using the undead dog summons that adds scarlot rot on the enemies, very helpful in the early game, helped me beat Margit and Godrick.
Where did you get them?
@@ABBAZABBA_619 wanna know that too
Location please and thank you
@@ABBAZABBA_619 it’s in the swamp to the right of the tutorial cave and it will be a body to loot in a broken down church
For everyone asking its in the magic town sellia
Godrik soldiers so far are my favorites, reason being they both have shield which makes them very tanky. The guy with hammer also stuns most enemies which saved my life countless times. They are +5 now!
Not to mention the Marionette Soldiers, that spam arrow and constant stagger and interrupts bosses like Renalla in her 2nd phase, makes it a breeze
The imps you pick up as a starting item are shockingly effective. They usually strafe and run around enemies l while their normal attacks build bleed, leading to big burst damage. Plus, they have a ranged bomb that usually staggers or flinches most enemies. All in all a very slept on bad ass summon.
Agreed
The stray is pretty easy to get very early like 10 min into a play through if you run it down and can cheese the shit out of most bosses and encounters. He’s got decent hp, applies scarlet rot that doesn’t go away once it is in affect, he also dodges way more effectively then most other summons IMO. Oh yeah and he costs 35 fp...
The start has got to be the easiest way to cheese any first boss. I always recommend to people struggling with margit
2:08 I like the way he says catacoombs :)
It took me a long time to figure out you could upgrade your summons. Still heavily relied on Oleg during the 2nd demigod fight. Summoned him in the last phase and stunlocks the boss for days.
Yeah I upgraded Oleg up to LVL 3 and he's really good and can tank a lot of hit by stunlock.
This outro is extremely catchy mate...it's stuck in my head and I've been listening to it in a loop for a long time.... I love it😍
There is also a Rotten dog summon in the City Sellia. He can apply scarlet rott on the enemie where you can watch them die. Imo really helpful against some bosses where he can survive long enough to apply it
Any requirements?
He dies way too quick for my taste. Like one hit lol
@@makaiokalahama if you Upgrade him he can be really tanky
Stage 2 rat sucks dosent even apply the rott
I have mine at rank 5. At 5 he can take some hits
@1:24 No, Roderika shows up after you've rested at any grace point on the other side of Stormveil Castle. Just take the side path around the castle and rest at the first one you come too which is just before the church. Now she will have moved to the round table.
Rodrika actually showed up at Round Table b4 I fought the 1st boss and she gave me the jelly fish after she set up shop.
If you are like me and went a little too crazy exploring than these summons will most likely get 1 shot in the mid to end game areas. ive found that getting any undead summon will help you the most when fighting the bosses as they come back to life if no attacked after killed. the thing with undead is tho is that when they die they become untargetable so they will be there throughout the whole fight most of the time
Yo didn’t actually know that Really good to know tbh
First world boss still targets and will smash the skeletons even if they are down. I watched it happen for a little over an hour.
@@Soulless1388 thats why I said most of the time, usually the thing that happens is the boss aggro swaps to you immediately giving the summon time to respawn
You just have to be careful because as soon as they begin the reanimation process, enemies can begin to target them unless you take the aggro away from them. I can't count the number of times a boss or tough enemy would kill them, start walking towards me, then immediately turn around and attack them as they start putting themselves together.
@@deadheart1579 it’s certain bosses they become useful on
The crystilian ashes have been great since it keeps the huge damage reduction against most attacks the crystilians have and has ranged attackd are all. Basicly the best at distracting most bosses.
Jesus Christ. Not seen your channel in years! I used to watch your build off challenges on Minecraft! Good to see you’re still making videos dude!
A good early support for squishy builds is the the Ancestral Follower gotten by beating the underground areas boss. Solid health, melee and a frankle awesome ranged shot. Really like them
Love this summon. I'm pretty sure he can be summoned by any starting class without leveling mind.
Early? Lol.
@@mikeclarke3990 whats wrong with saying its early? I got it before Margit
@@mikeclarke3990 yeah its pretty early
I'm super early and trying to cheese the game a lot (early weapons and advantages etc). Roderika can be done before the first boss, just requires you to fast travel to the same spot a couple times to finish her story & requires you to sneak around the first boss around the castle.
Quick tip for the fringe folk heroes cave, the chariots can be destroyed by using Mogh's shackle, which is found in the sewers of the capital, guarded by two giant crayfish.
So hey, there's actually a quest related to her that you can complete. When you first talk to her, she's lamenting her cowardice for not following her men to be grafted (she seems to have had a mental break from reality to boot). If you complete all her dialogue you'll end up with a quest to find her men and give them a msg. Go thru the castle until you reach the boss that first killed you before you're teleported to the continent. After you beat it, in one of the rooms off shoot from the boss room, there's a couple of dogs eating from a pile of bodies, the item on top can be given to Roderika to progress the quest. After you get to the round table hold, complete dialogue with Roderika and she'll eventually leave to go to the hold too. From there, the Smith tells you about her talent, and you go back and forth completing the dialogue with each other as the video says. You'll get several rewards for your efforts tho, and can get the hood she's wearing when you find her on that pile of bodies after she becomes a spirit tuner.
The Skeleton Militia is amazing. If they die once, and are left alone, they just respawn. A bit squishy, but they tanked all the bosses for me so far. Plus they are super easy to get. Just find the Magical man on his magical boat at Summonwater Village and kill him.
You mean skeletal bandit ashes?
@@Jorgeee there’s more then one skeletal ash, your each talking about different onee
I assume any skeleton ashes are good since they respawn if their corpse is unharmed before it respawns
I use the same ashes, such a big help since they just constantly grab agro and just never die lol
Are you talking about Skeletal Militiaman Ashes?
Also, if the Jellyfish NPC isn't in the shack anymore (like it did for me), don't panic! You can just find her at the Roundtable, but you'll have to do the whole speak to blacksmith, speak to her, etc multiple times like in the video, until she's in front of him. A new dialogue option for her will show up "Please" and then she should give you the Jellyfish.
This video shows up at the top when you search “how to upgrade spirit summons in Elden ring” - that’s awesome! Great tutorial, keep up the great work Aaron!
I used to have over 50 hours of gameplay beat the game twice but quit for a bit now I've forgotten pretty much everything except for a couple of glitches I found myself and some rune farms.Sm this really helps
Another good one is the Kaiden Sellsword from the Cliffside Catacombs. He hasn't too much health but has a shield as is pretty quick.
The Spirit Tuner will be in Roundtable Hold as soon as you activate any grace in Liurnia. Even before defeating any boss you can just go around the castle and activate the first grace.
Also "Renna" only shows up at the church at Nighttime. You can just rest at the grace until nightfall.
You can get the Undead Militaman Early in the game too, what's great about them? they are UNDEAD! yes! they will rise infinite times if they don't get damaged when shatered (just like skeleton enemy)
i got them but havent used them, but now i will thanks for the info!
where do ya get em?
@@GuitarManFromJupiter I think it's the red area northeast of starting area. There's a lake with ruins and a boss there dropped skeletons for me.
Damn I got them super early but I thought that they were weak lol ima start using them
I honestly like them most. They will draw agro die revive repeats a bunch for cheap.
I'm a big fan of the Marionette Soldier Ashes. 2 archers with strong fire rate, and decent survivability. They also have the spin shot ability, although that's only useful in a few situations.
I usually take on the boss myself, and as long as I'm in melee range, attacking reasonably often, boss never goes for them, so they do loads of damage. Pair them with the Rot Breath, and most big stuff falls on its own.
You can get Roderika in round table hold just by talking to her three times when you first meet her. Then you can within 3 minutes basically complete the quest line that makes her a spirit tuner merchant.
The mimic is the best imo ... it is an exact copy of your character so it is always as streng as you. Killen the God devouring serpent together was a piece of cake since we both had the serpent hunters ability. It really is a game changer.
Just wanted to add, Kaiden Sellsword is another very strong summon which you get after defeating the boss at Cliffbottom catacombs. You can go there at the start of the game but the watchdog boss isnt one of the easier ones.
@@vlanson6529 You can find the Kaiden Sellsword Ashes in the Cliffbottom Catacombs in the East Liurnia Region, by defeating the boss of the mini dungeon, the Erdtree Burial Watchdog.
One of the best early on summons to get is the skeletal militia. They follow skeleton rules, so unless they get smashed once dead or hit by holy damage, they will get back up and keep fighting. They have saved my skin several times.
about to start this game today, and I'm really looking forward to having a big old jellyfish floating at my side XD this is gonna be fun
What also a good ash is banned night engvall when he is plus 10 he is very owerpowerd he carried malenia radahn lorreta astle and also every rembermence boss he is in the catacombs near patches
When you get out of the kristal mine in caelid and you go right there's a ruin in front of the mage city and there you can find the ash of an infested dog. It gives enemies the rot effect and it's super op
Lol I was getting meteor spell and just picked it up in passing. Gonna try it out
She shows up if you go straight to the lake facing cliffs lost grace to get your first entry into the roundtable. The maiden lady tells you to go to this waypoint so it's the proper story progression instead of warping to Caleid.
i have personally two other renowned spirit that i like to use, they are reward of quest and when summoned they are powerhouse, you have launaria, she is an archer that can move but can shoot from super far, she is perfect for fight dragon or boss that are into big area. the second is the swordmistress and monk of nox (don't remember the exact name) you can get it in the area unlocked by the quest of ranni super powerfull
I believe Roderika appearing at the Roundtable is triggered if you get past Stormveil castle, whether you beat the boss of it or not. There's cliffside path after a bridge that completely goes around Stormveil to the north and ends at a site of Lost Grace. I think if you activate that and rest there, that probably triggers it.
You can find the Mad Pumpkin Ashes in the Minor Erdtree Catacombs in Caelid if anyone is interested in finding that one
Which one?
@@MrGrandTheftAutox idk if this helps either but the catacombs closest to where you can find the greatsword from berserk around that erdtree
Lhutel is the best summon in the game for magic builds imo (outside the mimic which is just OP for everyone). Oleg is great but if you're a caster you don't really NEED your summon to do good damage, you just need them to hold aggro and survive while you spam spells. Lhutal being able to teleport around and being able to attack from range helps her keep aggro a lot better and I've found she's generally more survivable. Also the boss you have to beat is easier than Oleg's imo.
Thanks for the review now upgrading lhutel to full
Rodericka has two requisits for showing up at the Round Table. Either you activate a grace past the Godrick area of the game or you fight your way all the way through Stormveil Castle till you get to the area with a Grafted Scion. Once you loot a Momento in that area you can come back and give it to her showing her the fate of her grafted men. She will then tell you she's headed to the round table to find her purpose and be of some use to the members of the Round Table. I'm pretty sure any grace point beyond Godrick's domain counts. But it's certain she'll show up at the Roundtable hall if you travel north and take the cliff path to the Grace point near The Church of Irith.
Stormfoot Catacombs has two summons in. There is the Noble Summons, which is a group of about 4 or 5 dudes, pretty squishy but they run good interference and the noble sorcerer which fires off a ranged magic missle.
I used wolves till i got that cemetery shadow down the twinsage is really great in terms of taunting ppl also he deals a lot of dmg close range surprisingly
Just a quick progression tip, cross the mad pumpkins bridge in limgrave and grab the waypoint right by the wayfarer, then ride your horse on the left side towards the scorched church. Make sure you stay as far left as possible when jumping up with the horse, then go to the grace there. That grace will immediately unlock roundtable hold. After you unlock roundtabpe hold and exhaust the commentary with roderika, take the roundabout path from stormveil to liurnia, and stay at that grace. After you get back to roundtabpe hold roderika will now be there, and go back to roderikas shack and she will have left behind a golden seed
I love the jelly fish cause it like poisions the enemy while their health goes down lil by lil
Skele bros have helped me through every single boss fight. While they reanimate, I dodge and avoid, until they can draw aggro again. I beat Godrick with Skele Bros and a Longbow +2 with 50 poison arrows.
Never took any dmg
as soon as I got him, I made my man br-oleg to plus 3. also, ever since i got him i have named him my man broleg
Thanks for the early game summons. Most videos are how to beat the game using summons you don't get until you are close to beating the game.
I know this is way later into the game, but there is a summon called the Mimic Tear Ashes, that costs health instead of FP, which is great for tank builds that don't have a lot of levels in Mind.
This summon creates a copy of you, that deals Massive damage when you wield the right gear and is really healthy.
The best is to have the best tankiest armor and strongest swords that you cant cary and summon then your spirit and after that you can just unequip the Things to your Otter stuff
1:15 Heads up, you do not need to beat the first boss for Rodricka to go to the roundtable. I haven't entered Stormviel's castle once but managed to find her at the shack. I think npcs move based on how far you traverse the map. When getting to the second area (without going against the boss) she was at the roundtable for me, speaking to her then the smith and so forth will get her to eventually upgrade summons. I heard you can miss something if she leaves without giving her a key item but not sure if that's true or not yet.
Yeah you miss a golden seed. Cause the item you were suppose to give her was a chrysalid memento. When you try to go back all you get is her hood :(
@Sarah Sinclair That sucks, means I missed it...I can get it ng+. Missing a golden seed is pain
@@midnightjay yeah but honestly I missed one isn't too bad. Recently got into the Altus area and like I got 4 golden seeds within 30 seconds. I was shocked 🤣
I got my storm hawk from doing the painting puzzle, from the painting you find in Stormveil castle, the view you have to find is the cliffs behind the church of pilgrimage (cliffs just north of it). No boss kill needed, so it might be easier for low level players. I thought it was a summon specifically to help with the Godric fight, since it flies Godric's huge ground AoE attacks can't hurt the murder bird.
Good video pal
She actually moves to the roundtable hold right after you give her a letter. Not when you defeat Godrick. You can do it before fighting him. However I don't remember where I got the letter from to give to her. But yeah. ^-^
Actually you just need to exhaust her dialogue and go near the bridge to get the cutscene to go to roundtable and she goes there automatically. No need to give her anything.
Its the chrysalids momento
i like the wolves if i wanna be sneaky, they don't attack unless you do...or the entire situation goes fubar
or if I just want a ton of chaos, those 5...or was it 6... demi humans are my go to, they have that WAAAAAGH energy
She appears when you rest at a grace past the castle. If you skip it (go around) and activate the grace,she will be at the round table. Her hood will then be an item you loot in the castle on a pile of corpses (near that mini boss). Normally the item she wanted was there.
These were great choices, one I think is also really good at the start are the undead soldiers.
Given how they come back they become a much longer distraction for boss battles with heavy hitters
Making my way to godrick those skeletons helped so much easily the best early game summon for group damage
Since this game has came out I have subscribed to so many new people... Need info!!
Now, hear me out: Rotten Stray.
It naturally gives enemies scarlet rot. I used it to beat Margit, Godrick, several dragons, the Draconic Tree Sentinel, and the Red Wolf of Radagon without having to attack once. So yeah, slightly strong.
Also used it on godrick, it’s a beast. Literally.
Yep, I leveled the rot dog up twice and took out Godrick and a ton of mini bosses
Banished Knight Oleg is the best in the list in this video. I am using him right now and he helps ALOT. Especially against group of enemies. And I also like that this guy is quite tanky too last long in boss figths.
I have my Oleg at lvl 6 . True friend
Luthel is my lover
It would really help if you would take two minutes to grab the map fragment before showing where on the map a location is. If you look at an undiscovered main region that you've entered, you can see a little icon showing where the map fragment is. The only one that's not immediately easy to obtain is northern Caelid.
You find something before the hawk called the stormhawk king, what are you supposed to do with that?
would like to know too
She moves to roundtable after you give her the chrysalid item, found in a room next to the kitchen with the grafted scion miniboss (one of the shortcuts from the tower with both elevators on the left), the room outside with dogs.
The two skeleton knights are pretty good too. They can resurrect. Get it from the mini boss on the small boat on the lake.
Where are the Gargoyles that I used to defeat Gorwrick? Just for 55fp they do awesome damage(keep them alive by fighting alongside them) by taking out a huge chunk of the enemy's health and are very helpful *for your early gameplay*.
She shows up after you get on the other side of the castle. You don't have to beat the castle boss. Just use the shortcut to go around and get the Grace point in Liurnia of the Lakes. Also return to the shack where she was. There will be a golden seed.
Lhutel the headless was so darn useful on encounters with two bosses. He would just tank the other one until I was done with first guy. I think I used him in most of the fights where I got stuck.
This game is just so goddam epic. It's eating my life.
SKIP TO 2:15 FOR SUMMON LIST
Save us 2:15
I got the wolves, and i dont remember talking to the witch... lolwut? also... I cant summon the wolves and my FP is high enough.. I dont think ive got the bell?...
If you got the horse go to the church with the santa looking vendor at night and there will be a witch there that gives you the bell and the wolves. You dont have to use the bell itself just put the wolves on your hotbar and use em. You have to be near certain tombstones to summon them, there will be an icon on your screen
@@searablacksoul Actually I solved my issue, This method works only if you do it RIGHT away. If you go and progress further into the story like I did before doing this and talk to the lady on the bridge to the north you end up getting the wolf summon sooner (before meeting the witch at the church) Thus the scene wont ever trigger. Those of you that end up going too far into the story, you can BUY a bell for 100ruin stones(souls?) at the round table place you can teleport from the map at the bottom right corner. There is a statue in the back past the edge lord skeleton guy that gives you an emote to stand edgy like him. The statue thing at the back has bells for sale. This is really important to anyone not following any type of guide and cant figure out why they cant summon but have the wolf summon in their inventory. It made me think I was going crazy.
You can get her to the round table by defeating a mini boss in stormveil castle. It’s the boss that you also fight at the start of the tutorial that (most likely) killed you. She talks about it in her dialog. Once you kill the boss, go back to her and give her the item and she then goes to the round table!
No its when u give her the chrysalids’ momento
@@Raiden_lemke and I believe that’s the item you get for killing that weird spider looking boss in the castle since that’s what she talks about in her dialogue
@@dylankoski6848 I know she talked about a Spider boss but I got it without fighting him
@@Raiden_lemke oh weird. I guess I didn’t pay attention enough but I swear it was from them. Must have been a random item pick up in the castle near the spider!
@@dylankoski6848 yea I found mine on like a pile of bodies after killing a bunch of dogs
“Cat-cooms”
Latenna is my favorite. Her insane range and damage have helped me so much .
I have the wolves at lvl 6, they're actually so good.
Same. Playing with the astrologer and can't think of anything better than wolves for getting agro.
avionette soldiers are really good too, causes bleed attacks fast throws fire bombs and just is generally really fast with its wings
To clear up the roderika appearing time, you need to progress through stormveil castle, getting the chrysalids medallion. Then giving her the medallion she’ll appear
Where is the medallion
Nope havent even got the medallion and she showed up
I love the wolves and how they can give u time to heal and all attack at once dealing tons of damage
For fighting Godrick and that first mini boss in the castle, the jellyfish summon was the best in winning those fights. The huge summon kept the bosses away from us enough time for me to nuke then with spells from far. That summoned npc tarnished girl did not have to engage ...
So many people leave out the godrick soldiers. I use them a lot and you can get very early in the game. I got them after the jellyfish. Across the road from the storm hill shack. With your back facing the shack, cross the road and there is a cliff on your right. Go along the edge of the cliff until you can get on top of it. There are 3(I think) grave yards. The one with the jellyfish already turned red is where you'll find the soldiers ashes.
Very early in the game
I've spent a freaking week running around the northern part of the map trying to figure out where the quest is after I got teleported there after looting the dragon burn ruins. Then I had to run around the at area from east to west and then south. I feel like I've spoiled the game for myself a bit that way.
I was stuck on the Mad Pumpkin Head before that one sorcery merchant (forgot her name already) and getting the wolves helped so much. I was able to get the Carian Slicer right after
My favorite that i +10 is Latenna The Albinauric. She rapids fire triple shots of magic infused arrows. Yes she is a turret not being able to move but the sheer aggro she deals makes ranged builds pull the enemy back and forth. She hits enemy goes for her, i Hit it goes for me and repeat. In open areas i love placing her on a spot enemies wouldnt be able to reach easily.
I still think the mimic summon is hands down the best. I hope they don't nerf it since it's an exact copy of the player and players abilities with unlimited fp
