How do you upgrade the spirits after burning the tree Elden Ring?

This is the subreddit for the Elden Ring gaming community. Elden Ring is an action RPG which takes place in the Lands Between, sometime after the Shattering of the titular Elden Ring. Players must explore and fight their way through the vast open-world to unite all the shards, restore the Elden Ring, and become Elden Lord. Elden Ring was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and made in collaboration with George R. R. Martin. It was developed by FromSoft and published by Bandai Namco.

You can upgrade Spirit Ashes with Roderika at the Roundtable Hold after following her quest using Ghost Glovewort.

Here’s how to follow her quest and upgrade your Spirit Ash to deal more damage and have more health:

  • First, you’ll need to head to Stormhill Shack, an area at the foot of Stormveil Castle. You may have already been here and not discovered everything it has to offer!
  • Talk to the NPC in the shack, Roderika, who will give you the Sitting Sideways Gesture. But that’s not all she can do for you.

  • The second time you speak to her, the NPC will give you the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes, a new Spirit Ash Summon! After that, she’ll ask you to pass on a message for you in Stormveil Castle.
  • Beat Margit the Fell Omen using our handy guide if necessary, and make you way through the Castle.
  • Once you arrive at Rampart Tower, run past the barrel and flying enemy-infested pathway ahead, down the stairs, and along the rooftops. A ladder to the south will allow you to drop down safely.

  • Then run past the knight and his torch-carrier on the thin walkway, through the room with the fireplace, and carry on through the next area until you see a drop on the left.
  • Drop down to the room full of wrapped corpses, watching out for the dogs as you do so. The item atop the corpse-pile is the Crysalids’ Memento you need.

  • Travel back to Stormhill Shack and give the item to the NPC there. Once all her dialogue is exhausted, she’ll travel to Roundtable Hold.
  • Fast travel to Roundtable Hold (the large icon in the bottom left corner of your map) and talk to her by the fire.
  • Then speak to the Smithing Master and select ‘About Roderika’.
  • Then return to Roderika and talk to her once more. And for good measure, talk to the Smithing Master about Roderika again.
  • The next time you arrive in Roundtable Hold, Roderika will have set up shop opposite the blacksmith, allowing you to upgrade your Spirit Ashes!

You’ll need Grave or Ghost Glovewort items and Runes to upgrade your Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring. Once done, expect them to receive a boost to both HP and attack power!

Meanwhile, now that you’re done with Stormveil Castle, you’ll need to know what all the Great Runes do and where to find them! Like Spirit Ashes, these special items will give you a big boost in-game, which could mean the difference between life and death.

There’s also one location that gives Elden Ring players 74,000 Runes for free, and it’s not even an exploit! Make sure you don’t miss out!
