Spirit Summons are one of the most impactful mechanics in Elden Ring, offering players valuable support during intense combat encounters. Whether you're facing overwhelming hordes or powerful bosses, having a reliable spirit companion can make the difference between victory and defeat. However, not all Spirit Ashes are equally effective out of the box. To truly bring out their potential, certain Elden Ring Items are key to enhancing their durability, damage, and overall utility. Here are 13 items that will help strengthen your Spirit Summons and keep them in the fight longer.

1. Spirit Calling BellThe essential tool for summoning Spirit Ashes. While it doesn’t enhance spirits directly, without it, you can’t summon at all. If you're not sure how to obtain it, speak to Renna at the Church of Elleh after acquiring Torrent.

2. Gloveworts (Grave and Ghost)These are used to upgrade your Spirit Ashes at Roderika’s station in Roundtable Hold. Ghost Gloveworts are required for elite spirit types, while standard spirits use Grave Gloveworts. Upgrading is vital for maximizing their power.

3. Roderika’s Upgrade ServicesThough not a traditional item, unlocking Roderika’s services allows for Spirit Tuning. Without it, those gloveworts won’t help much. Complete her questline early to take full advantage.

4. Twin Sage Glintstone CrownThis headpiece boosts intelligence, which is useful if you're running a mage build that supports spirits with ranged spells or buffs.

5. Ancestral Infant’s HeadA unique item that fires spiritual projectiles. It can create breathing room for your Spirit Ashes and distract enemies during a fight.

6. Mimic Tear AshesWhile technically a summon, this spirit is one of the most powerful due to its ability to copy your gear and stats. Gear yourself right, and this spirit can tank or DPS alongside you effectively.

7. Uplifting AromaticProvides a temporary damage negation buff to nearby allies, including Spirit Summons. Great for letting them survive the initial burst in boss fights.

8. Blessing of the ErdtreeThis late-game item offers gradual health regeneration, which can be shared with your spirit if timed correctly, especially when using tanky summons.

9. Lord’s Aid or Cure PoisonUseful support spells to remove ailments from both you and nearby allies. Some spirit summons are vulnerable to poison or rot.

10. Black KnifeprintThis item plays a role in progressing quests that ultimately lead to powerful spirit-related gear. It’s worth the detour if you’re investing heavily into summons.

11. Radiant Baldachin’s BlessingBoosts poise significantly for a short time, helping tanky Spirit Summons hold aggro and stay in the fight longer.

12. Cerulean Hidden TearThis Wondrous Physick mix gives unlimited FP for a short period, allowing multiple spirit-friendly spells without worrying about resources.

13. Elden Ring RunesFinally, nothing strengthens your arsenal and spirit summons more than leveling up. Whether it's upgrading your mind stat for more FP or enhancing summon support items, investing your Elden Ring Runes wisely is essential. Many players also buy Elden Ring Items to experiment with different summon-focused builds, making customization much more accessible.

With the right combination of items, even the most basic Spirit Ashes can become durable allies that turn the tide of battle. As Elden Ring continues to evolve, the synergy between your build and your summons becomes increasingly important. Prepare them well, and they’ll return the favor when it matters most.
