Requirements for Enhancing Spirit Summons
To begin leveling up Spirit Summons, certain items must be collected, and a specific character’s questline must be followed to unlock the upgrading feature.
Locate Roderika the Spirit Tuner
To gain access to spirit upgrading, players must seek out a character capable of tuning spirits. This essential figure is Roderika.
She can be found at the Stormhill Shack, situated near Stormveil Castle in the Limgrave region. Upon speaking with her, she will provide the Jellyfish Spirit Ashes. Be sure to exhaust all of her dialogue before proceeding to the Roundtable Hold.
Establish Roderika’s Role at Roundtable Hold
At the Roundtable Hold, Roderika can initially be found standing by the fireplace in the first room. Speak with her once again until all of her dialogue options are completed.
Following this, visit Master Heug, the blacksmith positioned down the hallway to the right. Engage in conversation about Roderika. He will eventually acknowledge that she possesses a special gift.
Return to Roderika and encourage her to embrace her potential. Then, speak to Heug again, suggesting he look after her and mentioning that this is something she wishes to pursue.
Upon your next visit to the Roundtable Hold, Roderika will have moved to a new spot beside Heug, seated near a collection of books. She will now introduce herself as an apprentice Spirit Tuner.
From this point onward, players can begin using Grave Glovewort and Ghost Glovewort to upgrade their Spirit Summons.
