I like the ghosts in Elden Ring. I have always liked playing pet classes, they always gave me the feeling of being on the road together. Now I am still looking for together what is still achievable for me. I can’t upgrade all the ghosts to +10 because there are only limited +10 upgrade flowers on each playthrough. But I can get what I can and at least bring everything up to +9. For two spirits (Dung Eater and Nepheli Loux) I’ll probably have to play two more times separately.
Every now and then I test them up in the ruins of Zamor. I find some ghosts really surprising. The ghosts at the ruins themselves are already quite toothy, very rarely collapse and deal out really hard. A truly good test of who passes there. For Spirit Ashes +9 i think its good if they kill one of them alone.
