Revered Spirit Ash is the second blessing item in Shadow of the Erdtree. Where Scadutree Fragments make you stronger, Revered Spirit Ash strengthens your summoned Spirit Ashes and Torrent. If your Mimic Tear or jellyfish melts in two hits in the Realm of Shadow, this is the stat you are missing. Below are all 25, grouped by area, with how each one is picked up.
| Ashes in the game | 25 (all in the Realm of Shadow) |
| Maximum blessing | Revered Spirit Ash Blessing level 10, which uses all 25 |
| Where you spend them | Any Site of Grace in the Realm of Shadow |
| What it boosts | Damage dealt and damage negation of Spirit Ashes and Torrent |
| Most common source | Stone altars, often with a headless corpse nearby |
| Other sources | Drops from ghostly pot carriers and large Inquisitor-type enemies |
| Densest area | Belurat, Tower Settlement (5) |
| Works outside the DLC? | No, the blessing only applies in the Realm of Shadow |
Where to find all 25 Revered Spirit Ashes
Out in the open world the ashes sit on small stone altars that glow from a distance. Inside legacy dungeons some are carried by enemies instead, so clear the ghostly pot carriers and big candle-bearing brutes when you see them. Area totals add up to 25.

Quick early route for your first ashes
- From the Gravesite Plain grace, ride east past the Scorched Ruins to the cliff altar above the Church of Consolation.
- Head north to the Abandoned Ailing Village and kill the flies around the altar.
- Swing past Cliffroad Terminus to the pond altar east of it.
- Clear Belurat, Tower Settlement for five more, including the one after the Dancing Lion.
That is 8 ashes before you even reach Castle Ensis, enough to make summons noticeably tougher for Rellana.
How the Revered Spirit Ash Blessing works
- Rest at any Site of Grace in the Realm of Shadow and choose the blessing option to spend the ashes.
- Each level makes Spirit Ashes and Torrent deal more damage and take less, but only inside the Realm of Shadow.
- Higher levels cost more ashes each, so level 10 takes all 25.
- It is separate from the Scadutree Blessing: fragments upgrade you, Revered Spirit Ash upgrades your helpers.
