Elden Ring Runes Wolf Pack Ashes Are Loyal Pups, and Therefore They're the Best

Elden Ring has a bunch of spirit ashes, ethereal summons you can summon to assist your fight. Some, like Banished Knight Oleg, are extremely effective damage-dealers capable of wiping out even the most formidable bosses. Others, not so much--looking at you, the spirit jellyfish dust. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and I've discovered plenty to play with, for my money there isn't a single one that's as loyal or as awesome as the lone wolf dust. The ghostly wolf pack is now my most-wanted summon, and is a good example of a Tarnished's best friend even on the Lands Between.

The summoning of the lone wolf is one of the first things you'll find while exploring FromSoft's new game. It's found in the Church of Elleh, a derelict building and one of the first places you'll find during your exploration of the Limgrave region. Blue-skinned Renna will teach you ways to call spirits after you get the ethereal steed Torrent. Talk to her and she'll gift you both an Spirit Calling Bell, a essential item to call ghostly spirits, as well as the lone wolf ashes. Seriously, you can't miss it, unless you're one of the many folks speedrunning the game. However, if you choose to overlook the game, you may be able to buy the spirit ashes from Twisted Maiden Husks, at Roundtable Hold.

This spirit ashes isn't particularly strong, however. The wolf trio can do moderate damage even after increasing their level but they aren't an armory in any way due to their slim health pool. But what they're lacking in total damage output however, they make up in providing a strong distraction during fights. You can call them up and buy Elden Ring Items watch the wolf-like spectral creatures take off, gnash, at their targets and then circle them, cutting them up limb from limb while you hang in the background. It's satisfying while also giving you room to breathe and think about what your future plans are.
