This guide shows all Elden Ring Ashen Remains Locations. The Ashen Remains let you summon spirits (ghosts) to aid you in battle. These can be summoned during boss fights behind yellow mist-walls, but usually not against open world bosses. They cannot be used at any time. They are very helpful to distract bosses. While your AI-controlled spirits attack and draw the attention of the boss you can backstab from behind. You also need the Spirit Summoning Bell, obtained from the witch at Limgrave – Church of Elleh, after having unlocked the mount that you can ride.
Also see How to Summon Ashen Remains.
This guide focuses specifically on the Ashen Remains, which are the spirits you summon. Do not confuse this with Ashes of War, which are the skill you equip to weapons! For Ashes of War, refer to Elden Ring All Ashes of War Locations.

Not sure if it should be added here, but really big boost in game for solo is banished knight oleg, who is beneath the starting cave Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace If I am not mistaken…. to enter, you need 2 stonesword key, run through ”dark souls 2” maze with charriot and defeat a boss called ulcerated spirit tree… from that point, he is pretty good tank during bosses in game when you play mages, let. him hit enemy 2-3 times and you can then cast dmg spell 4-5 times before you take the aggro … (also he cost 100FP to summon, since he is from special ashes)
