The ashes of the glorious spirit in Elden Ring - material for strengthening creatures summoned by the Spirit Summoning Bell. Summons in the game distract the attention of enemies, help fight bosses and make the age much easier. In the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, bosses, and even ordinary enemies, are noticeably stronger than in Interearth, so they destroy summoned creatures very quickly.
To counter the might of enemies in the DLC, Glorious Spirit Ashes were introduced, allowing you to multiply the damage and defense of summons. The guide will tell you where to find all 25 units of Glorious Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring and how to use this material.
There are also items in the game that modify the character's damage and defense. In a separate guide they showed, where to collect all 50 Shards of the Tree of Decadence.
