How to Get the Spirit Ashes of Jolana and Anna
The process of obtaining the Spirit Ashes of Jolana and Anna involves several stages, most of which are related to completing the respective quests of Count Emir and Hand of the Night Sword Jolana. The decisions you make at the end of Jolana's questline will determine if you can obtain this rare spirit ash.
Below we have outlined a brief list of actions you need to take:
- Reach the Cathedral of Manus Metir in Shadow Altus and start Emir's questline.
- Obtain and use the first map of the ruins to visit the ruins of Ria's Finger Sanctuary and ring the bell.
- Return to the cathedral and talk to Jolana and Emir, exhausting all their dialogues. This will grant you the second map, leading to another set of ruins and a second bell.
- Obtain the gesture Oh Mother in the village of Bonni.
- Use the Oh Mother gesture at the statue of Marika at the back gate of the Shadow Haven to open the path to the Inner Lands.
- Visit the Ruins of Deo's Finger Sanctuary in the Inner Lands and ring the bell hanging there.
- Return to the Cathedral of Manus Metir and talk to Jolana and Emir again, exhausting all their dialogues. You will receive the third and final map depicting the cathedral. The ruins are located there.
- Rest at the site of grace inside the cathedral, and when Emir disappears, interact with his throne to find a hidden staircase under the cathedral.
- Descend under the cathedral and defeat the Night Swordswoman Anna when she appears as an opponent. As a reward, you will receive the Night Claws weapon, which enhances bleeding.
- Return to Jolana and inform her of the attack.
- Descend under the cathedral again and ring the bell hanging there.
- Defeat the boss Mother of Fingers Metir.
- Return to the cathedral, where Jolana will invade your world as an enemy. Defeat her, and then fight Emir when he also appears as an opponent.
- Rest at the site of grace and talk to Jolana again at the column in front of the throne.
- Give her the Grace Iris to receive her spirit ash.
- Return to the site of grace in the Inner Lands and head southeast up the hill to the village of shamans.
- Reach the end of the cliff in the village of shamans and descend the cliff wall using ledges, then jump to the upper level of Rabbit's Summit.
- Interact with Anna's Doll near the stack of books and merge it with Jolana's Ash to create the Spirit Ashes of Jolana and Anna.
How to Get the Ruin Maps, Find the Finger Sanctuary Ruins, and Ring the Bells
These items are given to the hero by Emir during the first meeting with him in the Cathedral of Manus Metir. Emir tasks you with finding the sacred ruins where, according to legends, the hero's fate will be determined by the stars after ringing the bells.
First Finger Sanctuary Ruins
The first map will lead you to Ria's Finger Sanctuary Ruins, located on the Southern Shore and near the Azure Coast. Follow these steps:
- Use fast travel to the site of grace Front of the Castle on the Gravesight Plain.
- Move east through the valley, passing attacking Blood Fiends and Mesmer soldiers.
- Follow the cliffs to the left and turn left again halfway through the poisonous swamp, entering the cave by the river.
- Continue through the cave and rest at the site of grace Ellak River Cave.
- Descend to the waterfall on the left, then jump down the ledges.
- Keep going until you reach the site of grace Ellak River Lower Stream.
- Continue moving through the ravine, passing the Furnace Giant, and climb the hill at the end of the river path to the site of grace Azure Coast.
- Move south through the field, past the stele with the map fragment of the Southern Shore, and climb to the site of grace Cross on the Azure Coast, where Mikella's Cross and the Shard of the Decaying Tree are located.
- Before reaching Mikella's Cross, turn left towards the four large tombstones on the cliff.
- Before reaching the huge stone ship-tomb, turn right down the slope and descend to the beach.
- Walk along the beach to the east until the very end, where you will see another stone ship-tomb on the left.
- Climb the slab and enter the ruins. Finally, activate the site of grace Ria's Finger Sanctuary Ruins.
When you are in the ruins, head to the northern part and ring the hanging bell in the center. To do this, you need to use the Necklace with Holes that Emir gave you along with the first ruin map.
Second Finger Sanctuary Ruins
Once you find the first bell and ring it, head to Emir and talk to him. This will give you the second map and reveal the location of the next ruins. They are located in a hidden region of the Inner Lands, at the easternmost point of the Shadow Haven.
You will also need to visit the village of Bonni to learn the gesture Oh Mother. To do this, head to the site of grace Shadow Haven, Rear Gate, jump to the other side of the village, and move north to the dried gray tree, under which there is a statue with a purple item. After completing all the actions, you can head through the Inner Lands to the second finger ruins.
- Travel to the nearest site of grace located on the eastern side after passing through the Church Quarter.
- Climb the stairs to the upper levels of the Sample Vault, then go up another floor and find the hidden window leading outside.
- Follow the path upwards and rest at the site of grace Warehouse, Attic, then take the elevator up to the rafters of the warehouse.
- Cross the rafters to the other side of the tower, trying not to let the Fire Knight knock you off the edge.
- Once back outside, descend on two elevators back to the lower floor of the Shadow Haven and rest at the site of grace Shadow Haven, Rear Gate.
- In the room to the right, you will find a statue with a Shard of the Decaying Tree in front of it. Perform the gesture Oh Mother, and the statue will move, revealing a hidden passage.
- Go through the newly discovered entrance and rest at the site of grace Inner Lands.
- Summon a spirit to help you fight several Tree Guardians that have appeared nearby.
- Once the enemies are defeated, cross the bridge and rest at the site of grace Inner Lands Bridge before continuing east.
- Upon reaching the site of grace Stone Fingers Hill, follow the road to the southern tip of the peninsula, and eventually, you will arrive at the Deo's Finger Sanctuary Ruins.
All that remains is to reach the center of the ruins and ring the hanging bell again.
Third Finger Sanctuary Ruins
The last ruin map will lead to the Cathedral of Manus Metir. The ruins are located in an underground location, so you will have to wait for Emir to leave his throne to get here.
After receiving the third ruin map, rest at the nearest site of grace to refresh the area. When you return, Emir should be gone. Interact with his throne to activate the button that opens the hidden underground entrance.
Note: Emir may disappear before you obtain the third ruin map. In this case, you can descend, but these actions will break the quest.
Descend the stairs, and you will arrive at the Miir Finger Ruins. Here, you will face an invader named Night Sword Anna. She does not pose a significant threat to well-leveled heroes. After defeating her, proceed to the end of the ruins and ring the hanging bell one last time. Note that this action will trigger a boss fight with Metir, Mother of Fingers.
How to Obtain Yolanda's Spirit Ash
To obtain Yolanda's Spirit Ash, you need to complete her quest chain and give her the Rainbow of Grace. This is critically important because if you choose another path and give her the Rainbow of Darkness, you will receive a good weapon, the Night Sword, as a reward for completing her quest, but you will also block the ability to obtain her spirit ash.
How to Complete Yolanda's Quest Chain
Yolanda's quest line is relatively short compared to other characters in Shadow of the Erdtree. As long as you return to the cathedral and talk to her after activating each bell in the Finger Sanctuary ruins, you do not need to perform additional actions, except for the single fight with the Mother of Fingers.
After defeating Metir, Mother of Fingers, return to the cathedral and interact with Emir's throne again. Yolanda will invade your world and attack the hero.
Defeating Yolanda is not difficult compared to other bosses in Elden Ring. Her blade causes bleeding, but she has no complex attacks, and her basic sword strikes are easy to dodge. The opponent will fall rather quickly, but be cautious, as Emir will invade your world immediately after her defeat. Make sure you are prepared for another strong enemy.
The final boss of this quest chain has a health bar similar to a boss and various spells that he can use against the hero. The enemy can also summon fingers. We advise you to eliminate such enemies as quickly as possible to focus on the fight with Emir.
Use Emir's throne and other large objects in the cathedral, such as columns, to shield yourself from some of his magical attacks. The throne, in particular, can serve as a convenient cover from his spells. Emir is not a particularly difficult opponent. The only thing to watch out for is his large finger shield grabs, which can rise from the ground and deal damage to the hero. However, this spell is easy to avoid if you keep your distance. But even with this, there will be no problems, as Emir often teleports around the arena.
After defeating Emir, rest at the site of grace in the Cathedral. When you get up, you will notice Yolanda standing in her usual place — by the column in the central part of the cathedral. This is where you need to give her the Rainbow of Grace to receive the desired spirit ash.
How to Obtain the Rainbow of Grace
If you do not have the option to give her the Rainbow of Grace, it means that the item has not yet been found. In this case, select Leave and go search for it. To find the Rainbow, fast travel to the site of grace Warehouse, First Floor in Shadow Altus and use the elevator located in the first corridor to the left in the western part.
On the lower level, turn right and descend the stairs into a room teeming with monsters. Go through the second part of the room and turn left to reach the back of the room. The Rainbow of Grace is located near a small altar in the dark. Once you have it, return to the cathedral to give the item to Yolanda.
How to Obtain Anna's Spirit Ash
When you give the Rainbow of Grace to Yolanda and receive her spirit ash, fast travel to the site of grace Inner Lands and climb the elevation in the southeast of the location.
At the top of the slope, you will see the Shaman Village. Here you can find several useful items if you have not been to this place before. Among them is the Minor Erdtree, which is located in the center of the glowing flower field at the entrance and continuously heals allies. You can also find the Golden Scythe Talisman at Marika's statue in the tree to the south, which significantly enhances resistance to holy damage. On a ledge right above the glowing flower field lies Marika's Rune, giving 80,000 runes at once.
But your main goal here is to reach the top of the Shaman Village to find a small passage in the rock.
Run along the path and descend the ledges. Be careful, as you can fall and kill your hero!
Eventually, you should climb the spire of Rabat's Elevation. When you reach the lower part of the grassy ledges, you will see a stone balcony.
Jump onto this balcony, and you will find yourself on a narrow path overlooking the upper room inside the spire. Here you will find the Night Sword Anna Doll. All you need to do is interact with this marionette and escort Anna to Yolanda's spirit ash.
By spending 144 FP, you can summon both Yolanda and Anna simultaneously. If you choose to use the Rainbow of Darkness on Yolanda, the combined ash cannot be obtained. This reward is only available when using the Rainbow of Grace.
