About this spirit

Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell.

Use to summon three archer spirits.

Spirits of archers who belonged to the Fallen Hawks, a band of soldiers that once explored the Eternal City. Their arrows are imbued with cold ghostflame.

Though their methods are somewhat crude, they work well as a squadron, firing a hail of arrows in unison at the sound of a war cry.

Corpse behind an upper Nokstella building

Ainsel River Main

Starting Site of Grace: Nokstella, Eternal City

1. Reach Ainsel River Main through Renna's Rise after giving Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade, or use the coffin from Deeproot Depths. The ordinary Ainsel River Well does not reach this upper section.
2. Follow the river through the ruins to Nokstella, Eternal City and activate the grace.
3. Take the stairs into the upper city rather than continuing along the lower riverbank.
4. At the upper landing, look for the room containing shield-bearing Silver Tears and the Ghost-Glovewort Picker's Bell Bearing.
5. Walk around the outside of that building and loot the corpse behind it for Archer Ashes. The chest inside holds the bell bearing, not these ashes.
6. You can collect them before crossing the large bridge with the rolling silver sphere.

Notes

• Costs 57 FP and summons three Fallen Hawk archers. The group shares one summoning cost and upgrade level.
• Their arrows can build Frostbite. Against an enemy that resists or ignores Frostbite, the extra status benefit is reduced or unavailable even when arrows connect.
• Their slower shots need a clear firing lane. Pillars, walls and a target moving sideways can waste arrows before the group builds meaningful pressure.
• They are ranged support rather than a shield wall. Keep the enemy from rushing all three at once if you want them to continue shooting.
• Upgrade the ashes with Grave Glovewort. The three spirits do not each need a separate upgrade purchase.
• The corpse is behind the upper Nokstella building with the Ghost-Glovewort Picker's Bell Bearing chest. Opening the chest inside gives the bell bearing, not these ashes.
