Elden Ring: How to Summon Spirits, NPCs, and Friends

Want to learn everything there is to know about summoning? Here is a complete guide on how to summon spirits, NPCs, friends and more in Elden Ring!

Elden Ring is a game best played with allies, but the game is mostly singleplayer. Although you travel in a 'shared' world, you mostly only interact with NPCs and other players' hints.

Already, players are leaving troll messages on Elden Ring to spoil the new blood of the series. If you see a message that says 'Try Jumping' over a cliff, maybe don't always follow that advice!

How to Summon in Elden Ring

Here's a complete guide to every type of summoning in Elden Ring, starting with the most common!
Ash

Spirits Ash Spirits are special summons that Elden Ring players can find around the game and keep with them indefinitely. Special AI summons are of great help against some of Elden Ring's toughest bosses.

To take advantage of this handy handyman, head to Elleh Church, the structure in Western Limgrave right in front of your first Grace Estate.

First you will need to learn how to get your spectral mount Torrent in Elden Ring. Then, return to this location.

Here you will find Renna, an extremely helpful NPC who will give you the Spirit Calling Bell and Lone Wolf Ashes. From now on, using Lone Wold Ashes will summon a spirit wolf pack into your world - at the expense of FP!

Here's how to get more FP for summoning the game's most powerful Ash Spirit summons!

And then check out every Elden Ring Ash Spirit summons and where to find them here!

By exploring the tiny human statues around the massive Elden Ring map, players will be able to summon special AI to assist you.

Friendly Players

If you want to call a friend into your Elden Ring game for ultimate help, here's how to do it. Go to Options menu -> System -> Display Player Names and set to Online ID.

Next, go to the Multiplayer menu and add a multiplayer password that only you and your friend know.

Once this is done, use a Blackened Furry Finger to create a summon on the ground. Your friend needs to find this location in his own world and interact with it to join you in battle!
