FromSoftware's Elden Ring gives players the power to summon a wide variety of companions to aid them in battle by using Spirit Ashes. These companions can be extremely useful, as they serve as a distraction against enemies. They can also be very powerful allies that can be upgraded as the game progresses.

Upgrades will often increase the base stats of the companion, such as health or damage, but in some cases will also increase the number of companions summoned.
