Elden Ringhas a ton of mechanics that it leaves players to figure out, including its Spirit Ashes. It can take some time for players to figure out when/where these summons will work, but when they do, players can trivialize a ton ofElden Ringboss fightswith the right ones. There is a certain disparity in terms of each summon’s viability, though, leading many players to use just a handful of them. For example, the Mimic Tear was nerfed shortly after release simply because of how many players quickly flocked to it over other summons.
Still, the community’s focus has been on a handful of more meta Spirit Ashes, leaving many quickly behind inElden Ring’s early game. That’s if they even used them at all. Because of this, some unique interactions have been missed by man. TheLatenna Albinauric summonis one prime example, as it is possible for it to hop on and ride certain wolves. Part of it is because where these summons can work doesn’t often overlay with the types of wolves Latenna can ride, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Something similar happens with the Wandering Noble Spirit Ashes.

The Wandering Noble Ashes will summon 5 Nobles who can attack enemies at melee range. They’re based on the Nobles scattered around The Lands Between, one of the most common enemy types there are, so this Spirit Ash may be passed over for better ones. It’s not commonly used. However, one Redditor named harissss has revealed that they have a special interaction against theFlying Dragon Agheel boss fight.
They recently shared a video to theElden Ring’s subreddit, where they attempt this summon when fighting Agheel. Instead of moving in and fighting as expected, they instead ran, hid back, and cowered against the dragon. Leading commentary on this specific situation suggests that Spirit Ashes retain the AI of the original creatures, and the Noble enemies inElden Ringare designed to react this way to dragons. It’s an interesting and easily missed detail, but it adds a little more realism to the otherwise fantastical world of The Lands Between.
Elden Ring’s take on its open world fills it with mystery, and it stands to reason that there are a few things left to discover. Fans will likely continue discovering details like this for years to come, and it’s possible thatFromSoftware releasesElden RingDLCthat adds even more to its various mysteries. It all remains to be seen, of course, but who knows what else remains hidden in the FromSoftware open-world game.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
