ELDEN RING: ELITE Spirit Ashes FULLY UPGRADED Showcase (Ashen Remains Trophy/Achievement) 

Alright love your content bro! My favorite spirit is the great shield soldiers

What level are you? I’ve not seen anyone else with so much health and magic.

@@Nightwalker601 Glitches Of Course

Could you maybe do a showcase of Weapons Arts/skills next? (including ashes of war and weapons you havent shown so far)?

oleg all the way

Lol same here, I had to rethink my whole build

You should know how to use your weapons way better than the AI...

that was one of my favorite messages I'm glad I was using great swords at the time and knew the swing time to bully the mimic

I play a glass cannon build. That fight started, and I was like "you're me, which means you suck, and you're gonna die"

@@AFlyingSwive Emotional damage XD

That's definitely true. This boss has incredible stagger resistance so the spirits that have very high stagger values weren't able to make their true strength shine here. Still, Lhutel the Headless is the best overall performer in my opinion. High melee damage output, a shield, great poise, fade out ability, and a ranged option.

Not to mention he just spams moves quite often. The man is playing whack a mole with some of these spirits not allowing them to even get up

Couldn't agree more that the boss-type matters. I killed the dragon in the lakes by putting Latenna on a rock and she kept sniping him wherever he went. Lhutel the headless meanwhile did nothing but teleport back and forth doing nothing since the dragon just flies everywhere.

Very much the case. If the enemy can be staggered or stunned I found the marionette soldiers to be absolute stagger machines with the amount of arrows they pump out. Meanwhile the greatshield soldiers get destroyed by bosses with aoe nova attacks but I watched let them solo a lot of weaker bosses that I missed earlier in the game.

@@Omar_Al_Seddik the problem I found with luthel on my mage build was that bosses often lost aggro on her and would start targeting me because of her blink ability. She can tank a lot of damage but her damage output isn't that high. Her blink backfires on the players. Imo not the best for distracting bosses. PS. I got luthel after watching this video and thus my assesment.

Like a true gentleman.

Actually, the player moved behind them causing the projectile to hit the summon, and it wasn't the only time they did this. I hate it when that happens in co op; some other player is being targeted, they roll towards me, and the tracking causes the attack to land on me when it would have otherwise whiffed. Thx alot

@@OsirisGrimoire I see that they both did it. Rollo dodged left and the player rolled right

@@TheNecroFisherman didn't notice rollo dodged too since the animation is a subtle sidestep. But the distance he traveled wouldn't have intercepted the projectile if it weren't for the player dodging towards them. Don't know if the player was doing this intentionally (since they do it multiple times) but it kinda messes up the demonstration since its forcing the spirit to tank more hits than its meant to. In a real fight the summon and the player are constantly dividing the enemy's attention, allowing the one not being targeted to recover or go on the offensive. If the person holding aggro constantly puts other teammates in the line of fire, it takes away the advantage of their numbers

chad move

I think he could be the best if the player helps keep the boss busy altogether and take some damage off from him.

Dung eater fucks shit up (when he's not fucking corpses). Especially when he's able to cast his spells.

Yeah he is much hated by any boss lol, no wonder if you look at his background

Also has bleed and a debuff. Fun ash

I ran Dung Eater on my first complete play through. He was mostly awesome, but there are times where he will go long periods without landing a significant attack to take aggro. He's also awful against Malenia - Tiche or one of the more aggressive summons work a lot better.

Its a chick

i was on the edge of my chair... so much potiential

Heads up that makes alot of the bosses go crazy, that fading out saves alot of its HP but sends the aggro right back at ya.

@@Yokonato "heads up" nice pun

I thought that spirit had a lot of potential when I first summoned it and saw it just fading in and out to fuck up some mobs lol

And this is how love is born

Oleg is the GOAT

Where u get Oleg?

@@j18397 Bottom of the hidden area in the tutorial

Oleg is the main character your the spirit

Did you happen to notice the bug at the start with tiche, looked like her red ability healed him.

@@nunya3399 this abillity reduces Max hp so it looks like stuff gets healed esp bosses with Tons of HP but its just that the lifebar gets smaller faster then the dmg Ticks get out

@@jhvfgvsfgbfr oh I see. The life bar length updates.

Tiche is my favourite :D

@@nunya3399 it doesnt heal them, but reduce the enemy health bar, but only for a some sec, then the health returns, thats why it "heal" 🙂

Lmao and ya they were my best summons in my first playthrough at the endgame, I used those 2 skeletons that get back up when dead when first starting the game but they're so weak midgame and useless in endgame (loved them nontheless but too weak)

Watching them here I'm happy I brought them to +10. They brought down health right up there with the best of them but they drew massive agro. If you watch this simply looking at damage meters you'd think luhtel was the best, but he wasn't nearly as good of an agro draw. One thing I learned from watching this is how much I messed up this first playthrough by disrupting the dungeater quest prematurely. He was BY FAR the best agro draw. The guy could practically stand flat footed with that summons on the field.

not only are they one of the best, they're just so cool.

Bro I used them for the gargoyle duo fight and they were solid

The Nox girls are waifus, I love fighting alongside them lol

First elite ash I got and I put all my gloveworts materials in upgrading her. Looks like it was the right choice!

Yeah it also misses alot and does get aggro

@@gif631 same problem

@@gif631 then level up your magic

It's a really useful summon, used it to defeat black knife.

Also I used lhutel in the fire giant fight and she ate literally his strongest attacks and moved away from the insta death ones she literally survived till the second part of the fight then got burned alive I literally died because I was amazed for how long my summon survived

I actually hate Engvall. He gets staggered so easily against most bosses

@Sir Dew of mountains same here. Engvall helped a ton against that Onyx Lord boss in that one cave.

All those guys suck except Lhutel because she teleports. 🤣🤣🤣

Engvall is great in enclosed spaces and he can take the most beating of any of the spirit summons.

ya she carry me on so many boss , this showcase is completely bad showcase for all "range" and "support" spirits , i dont know what in mind of this Op when summon so many range spirits especially god like range Latenna right in front of boss and call it "SHOWCASE" , i think he should change his title from all elite spirits "showcase" to all elite spirits "introduce" !

If you summon her while White Wolfes are atound she can go on top of them and move apparently

shes essentailly a turret. Plus you can keep the boss between you and her and constantly hit the boss in the back as you draw aggro away from her and the boss basically gets stuck in the middle taking damage.

Yeah I think she is under-rated. Not many people are just watching summons fight the boss. Its easy to keep her safe on the other side of the room and she just does constant damage.

@@kingknightisbestknight7398 holy sht that’s such a cute and awesome detail if that’s true

Tbh compared to my mimic this one sucks. Mimics are best with either extremely high dps equipment (dual bleed katanas for example) or with weapons that can heal them like a prayerful strike. My main run was a high vigor, high endurance, and high dex build focused on dual wielding katanas and heavy armour. Me and my mimic absolutely ripped through the late game. Even Malenia was pretty easy. I genuinely regretted summoning for Godfrey because the fight last less than a minute and he looked cool.

mimic is the best their build just sucks ass lol

@@laurie1183 Actually, it's 3 Dex bleed, Prayer Stars, and Stupid high Poise

@@laurie1183 play the game again without the summon to really experience it

@@I-like-cows I have. I'm not that fond of replaying Elden Ring because it pushes you so heavily to do a tedious run around to grab good stuff and the incredibly low soul earnings early game make it generally not worth playing.

You out here giving goverment secrets here. I've been using Prayerful strike with my mimic + great stars for awhile amd notice that the health regen stacks. So you can apply great stars passive heal on hit + Prayerful stike + heal for hit talisman (forgot the name) and I can have my mimic survive massive attacks while maintaining their healthbar at the same time after the nerf. Plus it adds hyperarmor so you'll need to get quite a beating to get knocked out of that move.

Genius! Didn't even think of that

before the patch 1.03 mimic tear with faith build and incantation eldtree heal your mimic tear will always use it unlimited heal... before the nerf patch your mimic tear can 1 vs 1 almost everyboss it even can 1 vs 3

@@jameselrick6698 I just give my mimic Uplifting Aromatic and Raw Meat Dumpling. Paired with my build of Tree Sentinel Armor (wearing the nobel headband), Hand of Malenia and Cold Nagakiba lets just say we carve bosses to bits even on NG+. No Ash summon can compete anymore.

Where is prayerful strike? Might I ask?

Thanks for this

Queen Lhutel carries

Thanks, a man of culture!

Thanks very nice information. Mimic will always be the best if scaled properly but I felt like cheating using him on my first playthrough.

@@AlVash2 Plus mimic doesn't need you to invest into mind.

Stack that with the 'improved physical damage' wonderous chug and you can do some insane damage.

To be honest he would probably be great for my sorcerer since he seems to keep agro a lot better than the other summons, trying not to over use them though cause I've already got the damage, if I take the need to even dodge the bosses attacks then I'm just playing on easy mode

I’ve never done a strength build, but I think I’m going to now

....noted. *applauded*

@@tokyobankai4031 it was slow to pick up speed in this one. Planning on doing str int for the final build but wanted to focus on one first. I’m doing crazy damage now and I’m not even done upgrading yet. Using the ugs you get from beating the boss right before the demigod in the caliead (fuck spelling it lmao). It’s a duo. If you know you know. It turns into S str and C int at 10. I have it +9 and it’s already doing 1k on jump attacks.

Underrated comment, thx.

Imo black knife have too much hp for their utility and mimic got way too much hp for it utility.

thanks so much

thanks

No wolves?

@@krazyfil this is older content. There are many that wasn’t in the video.

@@jameszezulinski Engvall is a new Summon I thought? Oh well either way good video

@@krazyfil this is only the legendary summons

He's one of the best summons on par with Black Knife Tiche and mimic

I’m actually going for a blood loss dexterity build right now and he sounds great if he also gives blood loss because that should mean we can stack it faster

Nah. The only exception is 8:13 Latenna the Archer; even then she would only be viable IF youre playing a full Agro Tank Build. You cant tell me that, the rest of them (that die fast but deal "damage") are actually biable if you take aggro. When Summons like 19:30 Luther The Headless and 23:13 Black Knife Tiche quite literally solo enemies while tanking **exists.** Like 5:48 Bloodhound Knight Floh is an embarasment.

@@Chris____. Bloodhound Knight is probably meant for enemies with less poise and likely deals bleed damage, which he did not get off from this fight. That bleed damage would be a big factor in his damage output if he has it(the bloodhound knight you can fight near the beginning of the game has bleed damage). Being constantly staggered into the ground due to not having as much poise is the reason he had a problem getting his bleed off and dealing damage. Spirits all seem situational depending on the enemies you're facing and that bloodhound knight is no exception. Also I should mention Lhutel the Headless wasn't tanking damage the majority of that fight, but avoiding it by teleporting all over the place. It's definitely stronger than Floh in terms of tanking ability, which leads to it being better in this instance, but like I said, it was avoiding a lot of hits in that fight by teleporting around. Had it been hit as much as Floh, it definitely wouldn't have lasted as long as it did, and again, Floh didn't get the bleed off that would have made it's damage better.

If you tank the boss, Latenna really seems to be able to litteraly destroy it, her dammages are really good

@@moufletmateis6445 Yeah used her quite a lot as she was the first of these I got and she’s the mvp in dragon fights for example. You ride around and evade the attacks while she just unleashes hell on them. Also good to pick off multiple enemies from afar.

@@Chris____. If you look at the headless and black blade fights, those two DON'T actually "tank" very well in the traditional sense. "Tanking" as a suport role is about more than just surviving hits, it's also about ensuring your allies DON'T draw unwanted attacks. As stated by other comments, due to Headless's teleporting and Black Blade's hit and run style the player ends up taking most of the aggro. Also it should be noted that their fights were amongst the longest, meaning although they did more damage all up it was partially because it took the boss longer to kill them (though holy crap Tiche has some wild burst damage, not sure why the boss kept getting health back for her fight). The two of them periodically draw aggro for short durations, but this may not be preferrable for DPS players who want more regular openings to get off their attacks. In this sense even the jellyfish *could* be considered a better tank for a heavily DPS oriented player because of its high health pool and regularly timed, high aggro attacks (1-2 hits is enough to get most enemies attention I find). Not to crap on Either Tiche or Lhutel. They're epic, but saying that they're the "only viable" spirits because they can "almost solo" enemies is a gross oversimplification of how spirits are used. The player's style factors into what summons are the most useful. As another example, let's talk about Floh. I can confirm what Jon P has said. Floh is a poor match up for this boss, especially without support. He's somewhat frail, easily staggered, and requires escape windows to get out of enemy combos. Ideally you would keep switching aggro to give him a chance to do his job. You do some damage, then back off to recover stamina/heal/chug FP juice while floh jumps in. They trade, Floh maybe gets staggered, but it's okay because now you're back in there. You get the boss' attention and Floh teleports back out to avoid potential collateral damage from any wide range sweeping or AoE attacks. Then he jumps back in (hopefully from behind if you're luring the boss right). Once he has a chance to get a few actual attacks off his value becomes apparent. His stagger and bleed are actually really good when you don't let him get stunlocked. If you're using him chances are you want to end fights quickly, so his low health pool becomes less of a concern. Even if he dies the boss should be on extremely low health and well within the range of finishing solo. Of course, all this changes against "zoning" bosses who try to wall you out with projectiles. This is where Floh TRULY shines. Used him at only +3 against second stage Rennala today. His movement speed and constant aggression meant that she couldn't even build distance, and his stagger meant she couldn't get off anything except her quickest attacks, and even then she ended up on her ass before she could finish half the time. And this was with me playing super passively (I didn't know her moveset so I was just feeling the fight out). Once I realised Floh wasn't going to let her breathe I just ran forward and it became a curb stomp with added bleed procs (as if her day wasn't already bad enough). I only found out later that she had the whole "summoning ash" gimmick when my brother told me about it. It was over so quickly she never got the chance to so much as call a wolf pack. This is just one example. While some summons truly are jokes (looking at you Noble Sorcerer), the vast majority are at least viable in a good number of fights, and truly shine under the right circumstances. EDIT: Upon rewatching, Lhutel's damage was a bit higher than I thought. I can see now why she's considered one of the most generally powerful spirits. My point about the aggro still stands though.

I'd consider it an upside, depending on your build! For example, Lhuthel attacks both via Melee and ranged, making it useful for most any build the player uses. In my case, I'm maining a dual-claw, pure evasion playstyle, so I'm going to maintain aggro anyways. If Lhuthel takes aggro occasionally, I'll use that opportunity to heal or restore my FP, but otherwise I want my summon to stick in the fight as long as possible, while I Bloodhound Step the boss dizzy.

you can comet azur this fool

@@grobariza not so easy he leaps around a lot

@@lostinspacestudio Nah, you can delete him and his farm Azula brother while he postures at you at the beginning of the fight. With that said comet azur kills don't prove much given that if you have an enemy stand still long enough that spell will delete most things in the game.

@@vocalcalibration8033 yeah well me and many others don't have that luck..

I found them mad annoying to fight. So I knew that once I got them as a summon, the enemies wouldn't like it either lmao.

that was my logic with Stormhawk: ok angry birbs are one of the most terrible things in this game.......lets see how the AI deals wIth a taste of its own medicine.

Meanwhile i'm casting Azur's comet 😂

Damn, I can't critique that. Play your best run my dude, she's certainly no tank but she's got some great punch to her if you can peel the bosses from them!

Latenna is no joke, for the right encounter she can put out very reliable damage. She is in my top 3 to upgrade to 10 first.

she helped me in during two fallingstar beast fights. i set her up on the edge of the battlefield and she was just raining down arrows while I mixed it up with melee.

@@thant0s >Best run Oof

She can cheese astal if you just keep aggro

She can ride wolves to if there are any near her

yeah if its a more open boss i use latenna because im a straight tank build. if its tighter quarters i use mimic because we can both stand in the pocket and take abuse. i run the full bull goat armor set and grafted great sword with 60 vigor and 60 strength and 50 stamina so far. i haven't beaten the game but man my mimic has made the game kinda easy for some fights.

She is dead? Or how is she now a spirit?

@@miguelfaican420 she killed herself basically

@@miguelfaican420 she took the form of a spirit just to help you but i dunno really how

I think mimic would've destroyed sentinel if it was correct build with useful items in hotbar

Even if you don’t attack the boss, you can just buff and heal the ashes from time to time.

Definitely want those two in my pokedex.

I've got them but haven't really given them a chance (thanks to my girl Lhutel carrying my ass.) Looks like I need to level them up a bit.

The power of having two of them, and the way one kept her distance a bit, really seemed to help. This experiment seems biased toward the summons with multiple entities (the greatshield mob from the non-elite video did amazingly well), because the player isn't doing anything to draw aggro or damage the boss. I assume that a lot of the single summons would've done even better with active player participation.

i think they're bugged, mine aren't nowhere near this aggressive and i leveled them up

I loved the theme of what they are and randomly upgraded them to max...ive never looked back

I didn't do any real testing but from what the stats show it took about 12% damage negation taken away from me, or it halved them. Originally I had ~24% across the board, equipping Radagast's Soreseal gives me just over 12%. So in light/medium armor, it's definitely worth it but if it halves your dmg negations you may want to avoid it in heavy armor. At that point it'd be taking like 25% dmg negation away from you, and that's gonna make you take considerably more dmg.

They are my new favorite as an astrologer, they are not tanky but good at running distraction. Knight Oleg is my toughest ash summon that I've upgraded but he's considerably slower so I have to mind my aggression somewhat with him

they really impressed me too. especially when one has aggro the other flanks . as soon as they were summon they went all in. i need to find them

It doesnt shine as well in the video but ancient dragon knight has INSANE hp and tanking ability + seemingly unlimited range lightning attack meaning that theyre an absolute godsend to share bosses aggro, though due to relatively low damage theyre not gonna be soloing many bosses
