How to get & use Lone Wolf Ashes in Elden Ring

Elden ring is the latest Souls Game released by FromSoftware on 25th February 2022. Like any other Souls Game, Elden Ring too is pretty difficult. The game becomes particularly tougher when you are playing solo. To ease up the combat a little, the game gives you the option to summon spirit companions to help you out in difficult areas. To do so early in the game, you will need Lone Wolf Ashes & Spirit Calling Bell. Unlocking Spirit companions is one of the first things you need to do in the game if you are playing solo. To unlock spirit companions, you will need to unlock the horse first. This guide shows how to unlock the horse and spirit companions in the game as quickly as you can.

How to get Horse

You can get the horse early in the game even without engaging in any combat. To get the horse, you will need to rest at three sites of grace in the open world (Sites of grace inside caves & Dungeons don’t count). The simplest three sites of grace in Limgrave that you can rest at are marked in the picture below. You can reach these three places without even having to engage in combat.

How to get & use Lone Wolf Ashes

Once you have unlocked the horse, rest on a Site of Grace and change the time to Night. Then fast-travel back to the Church of Elleh and you will find Witch Renna sitting on the wall there as shown in the pictures below. If Witch Renna, does not appear for you, then fast-travel to another Site of Grace and fast-travel back to the Church of Elleh. This did the trick for us.

This does not even come close to telling anyone how to **USE** the lone wolf spirits!! And there is *NO* pouch area for equipment slots or any area on the right had side of the screen on the PC whether playing with the keyboard and mouse as i am, or using a controller (I tried that too). So I have not even bothered to keep looking for the pouch. In addition, I somehow got my lone wolf ashes permanently stuck in the chest when using the keyboard. I had to hook up a controller to get them out of the chest and put themback into the inventory section. Now I can’t even use them.

Wait for the icon on the left side of the screen to appear. PS5 uses the square button to use the ashes 🔲
