How to Use the Iris of Grace in Elden Ring: Shadow of Erdtree

The Fire Knight Queelign can receive the Fire Knight Queelign Spirit Ash by giving the Iris of Grace, and the Swordhand of Night Jolán can obtain the Swordhand Of Night Jolán Spirit Ash by the same method.

The spirit ashes can be obtained by completing certain questlines that guide you to the two NPCs who offer them as a reward.

Moreover, there is an alternative item known as the Iris of Occultation, which can be given to the same two individuals for access to a distinct range of weapons. However, if you frequently utilize spirit ashes, it is advisable to provide them with the Iris of Grace.
