Elden Ring: How to Collect All Legendary Ashen Remains

Elden Ring is packed with secrets, powerful gear, and collectible items that can dramatically influence your journey across the Lands Between. Among the rarest and most sought-after collectibles are the Legendary Ashen Remains. These elite Spirit Ashes not only provide powerful companions in battle but also unlock a special achievement for players who manage to collect them all. There are six in total, and each one requires dedication, skill, and often some precise timing within your playthrough.

 

If you're aiming to unlock the achievement tied to acquiring all Legendary Ashen Remains, prepare yourself for a challenging but rewarding adventure. In this guide, we'll walk you through all six and provide helpful tips to ensure you don't miss your chance at any of them.

 

1. Mimic Tear Ashes

 

Arguably the most iconic and powerful Spirit Ash in the game, the Mimic Tear creates a near-identical copy of your character, mimicking your stats, weapons, armor, and Elden Ring Items. This summon is incredibly useful for late-game content, especially for solo players.

 

To acquire the Mimic Tear Ashes, you'll need to unlock Nokron, Eternal City, which only becomes accessible after defeating Radahn. Once you've entered Nokron, head toward the Night's Sacred Ground. You'll find the Mimic Tear Ashes in a locked room behind a fog door. A Stonesword Key is required to gain access, so make sure to keep one handy—this is one Elden Ring Item you don't want to miss.

 

2. Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Ashes

 

This tanky summon can take significant damage and draw enemy aggression, making it a great choice for players running glass cannon builds or facing tough bosses. You can obtain the Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Ashes in the Sainted Hero's Grave, located in Altus Plateau.

 

Defeating the boss at the end of this dungeon will reward you with this powerful summon. Make sure you're well-prepared—this area can be quite punishing. You might want to stock up on Elden Ring Runes to level up or upgrade your weapon before heading in.

 

3. Black Knife Tiche Ashes

 

Tiche is a lethal assassin spirit who deals a significant amount of damage with her Reduvia-like blade. She's one of the strongest offensive Spirit Ashes in the game, ideal for players who want aggressive, high-damage support.

 

To unlock Black Knife Tiche, you must first complete Ranni's questline. This is a critical note: if you progress too far in the main story without finishing Ranni's arc, you may be locked out of obtaining Tiche during that playthrough. Once Ranni's quest is completed, you'll gain access to the Moonlight Altar, where you'll find Tiche after defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol.

 

4. Cleanrot Knight Finlay Ashes

 

Finlay is a powerful Spirit Ash that can dish out divine damage and support the player with her aggressive fighting style. Her Ashes are located in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree—one of the final, toughest zones in Elden Ring.

 

To get there, you must fully explore Miquella's Haligtree, a massive optional dungeon. Look for a chest in a hidden room guarded by Cleanrot Knights. Given how challenging this area is, make sure to bring along plenty of healing items and spend some Elden Ring Runes upgrading your Spirit Ashes or gear before diving in.

 

5. Lhutel the Headless Ashes

 

A spectral knight who teleports around the battlefield and wields a ghostly lance, Lhutel is available relatively early compared to the others. She's a strong summon for mid-game fights and offers solid durability and mobility.

 

To find her Ashes, head to the Tombsward Catacombs in the Weeping Peninsula. Defeat the Cemetery Shade boss at the end, and Lhutel the Headless will be your reward. While you're down there, keep an eye out for crafting materials and other Elden Ring Items that can help boost your summons and equipment.

 

6. Redmane Knight Ogha Ashes

 

Ogha uses a greatbow to rain down arrows from a distance, making him a perfect support summon. His utility shines when dealing with enemies that are weak to ranged damage.

 

You can obtain Ogha's Ashes after defeating the Putrid Tree Spirit in the War-Dead Catacombs—an area that opens up after the Radahn boss fight. This location is swarming with aggressive enemies, so enter well-prepared and with plenty of Elden Ring Runes in reserve in case you need to level up or make a tactical gear change.

 

Final Tips

 

Collecting all six Legendary Ashen Remains is not just about ticking boxes—it's a true test of your mastery of the game. Each Ash has a story, a purpose, and can radically change the tide of a battle when used correctly.

 

Here are a few additional tips:

 

    Backup Saves: If you're worried about missing Tiche due to Ranni's questline, consider backing up your save before making story progress.

    Upgrade Your Ashes: Don't forget to use Grave Gloveworts and Ghost Gloveworts to upgrade your Spirit Ashes. These are vital Elden Ring Items that make a big difference in summon effectiveness.

    Farm Runes: Before venturing into tougher areas, farm Elden Ring Runes to strengthen your character and spirit allies. Rune farming spots like Mohgwyn Palace or Windmill Village can help speed up the grind.

 

With careful planning and a bit of persistence, you'll not only secure the Legendary Ashen Remains achievement but also enhance your combat capabilities in some of Elden Ring's most challenging encounters. Good luck, Tarnished—and may your summons carry you to victory.
