Not being able to summon wolves, jellyfish, or other help in Elden Ring can be very frustrating. It’s not always obvious why players can’t use ashes to get help from spirits, which can lead to confusion. Thankfully, there are some simple explanations on how to fix the Elden Ring can’t summon spirits issue. Here’s the need-to-know information.
Why can’t I summon spirits in Elden Ring?
Players can’t summon spirits in Elden Ring because:
- They are in an area where they can’t summon.
- A purple icon appears on the left side of the screen when players are in an area where spirit summons are available. If you are not in one of these areas, you can’t summon.
- They don’t have enough FP for the summon cost.
- FP is needed for each summon. The amount is noted on the spirit’s description page.
- It’s possible that even at max FP for your character, you still won’t have enough. This will require more leveling up.
- They don’t yet have the Spirit Calling Bell.
- Use this guide to get the required item.
