With the drastic increase in the difficulty of the boss fights inElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, summoning Spirit Ashes to take the brunt of the aggro is one of the few options left for those looking to clear the game in a reasonable time frame. To that end,high-health Spirit Ashesthat can reliably survive the sheer damage output in a fight are more valuable than ever.

Fire Knight Hilde is one of the tankier Spirit Ashes players can find in the DLC, making it especially useful for players who want to only use items found in the Shadow Realm.

The Fire Knight is situationally aggressive. Most of the time, it’ll rush at any enemy it sees, but sometimes it likes to do a slow, menacing walk towards the target. Unless you use yourself as bait to lure the enemy towards the summon, it will take a long time to get anywhere, making it essentially useless. This means to get use out of this summon, you have to stay somewhat close so that it draws aggro reliably.
