About this upgrade material

White flower that blooms in catacombs.

A spirit nestles close to it.

Strengthens renowned ashes to +9.

Graveyard behind the church

Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree

Starting Site of Grace: Haligtree Roots

Before you go

• Reach Elphael through the Haligtree.

1. Reach Elphael through the Haligtree. The secret lift route requires the medallion halves from Albus in Village of the Albinaurics and the tower beyond Commander Niall at Castle Sol. Solve Ordina's four-flame evergaol puzzle to open the waygate to the Haligtree.
2. Descend the Haligtree and defeat Loretta to enter Elphael. Continue through its inner wall and rot-water section to Drainage Channel, then follow the outside roots and stone supports to the church below. The lift inside the church leads down to Haligtree Roots grace.
3. From Haligtree Roots, take that nearby lift back up. Cross the church and leave through its northeastern doorway into the graveyard. Turn left and follow the graves downhill toward the western end.
4. Watch for the Kindred of Rot firing threads along the slope. Loot the corpse at the far end for Ghost-Glovewort Picker's Bell Bearing [3]. The white flowers nearby are separate pickups.
5. Offer the bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold. It unlocks Ghost Glovewort [7], Ghost Glovewort [8] and Ghost Glovewort [9] without a stock limit. Defeating Malenia is not required. Buy Ghost Glovewort [9] for 12,000 runes each.

Notes

• One flower upgrades a compatible special Spirit Ash from +8 to +9. Roderika also charges the spirit's tuning fee, apart from the material cost.
• Offer Ghost-Glovewort Picker's Bell Bearing [3] to the Twin Maiden Husks for unlimited purchases at 12,000 runes each. The bearing comes from the Elphael graveyard behind the church.
• This is the material family used by Banished Knight Oleg, Black Knife Tiche and Cleanrot Knight Finlay. Grave Glovewort serves a different group and cannot replace it.
• Use Spirit Tuning with Roderika at Roundtable Hold. Finish her conversations with Hewg to unlock tuning if the service is not yet available.
• One flower upgrades the entire ash, including every spirit in a group. A five-spirit summon does not require five flowers for the same upgrade.
• Fixed flowers do not regrow when you rest. The bell-bearing shop provides the repeatable supply, and that handed-in upgrade-material unlock remains available in later Journeys.
• A +9 spirit needs Great Ghost Glovewort for +10. The numbered-flower bearing does not unlock an unlimited supply of that final material.
• The final ghost-glovewort bearing is in the graveyard outside the church above Haligtree Roots. Its three shop ranks can be unlocked before fighting Malenia.
