Elden Ring Best Summons 2023 - Best Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring 2023

Below let’s go through the Pastorgainz Games’ list of the best and most overpowered Elden Ring summons and spirit ashes to use in early and late games. 

1 - Omenkiller Rollo 

The first spirit ash and summon is Omenkiller Rollo, he can do so many different things and is an absolute beast, he can stagger almost any Elden Ring boss and procs bleed with two Omenkiller Cleavers and also can take so much damage and punishment and stay around to the end of the fight, soloing most dungeon bosses and is a huge help when it comes to main bosses in the game. It is also really good if you want to sit there with him and just continually stagger main bosses over and over again because his heavy attacks pack a massive punch. To find him, you can go to the Capital Outskirts in Altus Plateau after you fight the Fell Twins Boss Fight in the capital, they'll drop that ashes for you and you can definitely use him for most of the end game. 

2 - Lhutel the Headless 

Lhutel the Headless is also a really good summon, if you want an all-around great tank for you that has a lot of survivability, that can teleport around and confuse the enemy, and also is gonna sit there and tank damage for you, then Lhutel is definitely the way to go. This is an early-game summon but can be dropped by the Cemetery Shade inside of the Tombsward Catacombs dungeon in Weeping Peninsula. She will solo the majority of Weeping Peninsula and the rest of Limgrave.

3 - Cleanrot Knight Finlay Ashes

Moving on to the next summon, Cleanrot Knight Finlay is a good spirit summon that is fun to use, he has all the moveset of a Cleanrot Knight, has a rot breath and a long-ranged attack, this summon is very aggressive, and can maintain enemy agro if far away by spamming weapon art. He'll also buff you the second that he's summoned and he's going to give you a 30-second buff that's going to heal you for 7 HP per second and give you fire damage negation by 60. Overall, this is definitely a phenomenal support summon and a summon that you should definitely use, however, you can't get this summon really until you get to the Haligtree, which is pretty much the end of the game.

4 - Battlemage Hugues Ashes

Battlemage Hugues Ashes is one of those unsung summons, he can absolutely wreck any NPC that you throw him at and is also a really great asset for you to have in bigger boss fights within this game, he does excellent ranged attacks with his magic sorceries, he also has a really good melee sorceries that he uses, and he's pretty beefy when it comes to his HP. You can find the Battlemage Hugues Ashes by defeating Battlemage Hugues at the Sellia Evergaol, located at south of the Dragonbarrow West Site of Grace.

5 - Dung Eater Puppet 

Dung Eater Puppet is arguably the best summon in the entire Elden Ring, he is so good, he's probably better than the mimic tier. Dung Eater Puppet has a shriek attack that causes spells to track people and do a ton of damage, he does blood loss, and he also has an incredible attack power on his sword that will allow him to slice through almost anybody in a few's hits.

6 - Banished Knight Engvall Ashes

Finally, we have Banished Knight Engvall Ashes on the list, this is an all-around great summon, he's a fantastic fighter with great combos, he does a lot of damage and he's really tanky, and you can both stagger enemies and bosses with ease. Banished Knight Engvall is ideal for a caster as he survives and tanks for longer. He is definitely a solid summon and really fun to use, he can also be found extraordinarily early in the Murkwater Catacombs, to get it, you need to defeat the Grave Warden Duelist boss.
