About this spirit

Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell.

Use to summon the spirit of Latenna the Albinauric.

A rare case of one who chose to become a spirit voluntarily.

Latenna was renowned as a deft magic archer. But having lost her beloved wolf companion, Lobo, she cannot move from the place where she was summoned.

Slumbering Wolf's Shack

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Slumbering Wolf's Shack

Before you go

• Obtain the right half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion.

1. Reach the shallow lake in southern Liurnia, then ride west beneath the enormous plateau. The village is in the shaded cavern below that plateau, not on the unreachable upper ground above it.
2. From southern Liurnia's lake, travel under the huge western cliff to the poisoned village beneath it. Follow the rising path past the hanging bodies to Village of the Albinaurics grace.
3. Continue uphill past the perfumer, but stop before crossing the stone bridge toward the Omenkiller.
4. Look beside the path for a large pot. Roll into it or strike it once to reveal Albus, then speak to him until he hands over the medallion half.
5. After Albus appears, stop attacking and finish his dialogue to receive the right half. The Omenkiller across the bridge is unnecessary for this conversation.
6. From Scenic Isle in southern Liurnia, ride south across the shallow water to the cliff. Lakeside Crystal Cave opens at lake level, rather than on the cliff above. Enter and activate the grace.
7. Look into the large shaft near the entrance and descend using the illuminated rocks. Take the short drops separately, then move east onto the outcrop marked by fire and a candle. The upper Demi-Human rooms and Spear Talisman chest are an optional detour.
8. Enter the passage from that outcrop and watch for three Crystal Snails. Their crystal breath can catch you while you stand still. Continue along the right side of the next corridor to avoid the larger group on the left.
9. When the tunnel opens back onto the shaft, drop onto the ledge to the left. A corpse with Soft Cotton confirms this landing. Heal before taking the remaining drop to the group of three item-bearing corpses below.
10. Follow the lower passage past the last three snails to the boss fog. Defeat the Bloodhound Knight to receive the medallion.
11. After defeating the Bloodhound Knight, use the passage beyond its arena instead of the return-to-entrance wisp. Outside, activate Slumbering Wolf's Shack.
12. Speak to Latenna beside her dead wolf and show that you have Albus's medallion half. Agree to take her along to receive her Spirit Ashes.
13. Do this before collecting the left medallion half at Castle Sol if you want her full quest and its later Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. Ashes left after her death are not the same as preserving that quest.

Notes

• Costs 74 FP and summons a largely stationary archer firing repeated three-arrow volleys. Upgrade her with Ghost Glovewort.
• Place her on safe ground with a clear view of the target. Height can help, but a railing or rock directly in front of her can also block the arrows.
• Keep the enemy occupied away from her position. She cannot reliably retreat or follow you across the arena like a mobile melee summon.
• She can mount certain living direwolves when one is available. Her ashes do not summon a wolf for her, so most boss arenas do not enable that behavior.
• Her personal quest continues after receiving the ashes. Take her to the large Albinauric at Apostate Derelict for its later reward.
• Meet her alive at Slumbering Wolf's Shack with Albus's medallion half before obtaining the Castle Sol half. Ashes left after her death do not preserve the same living quest conversations and reward route.
• Her unusual mount interaction is with the large wolves used by Albinauric archers. An ordinary summoned wolf pack and Lobo's dead body do not provide her with a new mount.
• The later Apostate Derelict meeting uses a special interaction beside the large Albinauric. Completing that meeting does not consume her reusable Spirit Ashes.
• The living quest and the summon are separate rewards. Killing her for the Blue Silver outfit or leaving her until after the Castle Sol half prevents the same complete quest outcome.
• Upgrade through Roderika to +10 using Ghost Glovewort and a Great Ghost Glovewort for the final level. The summoning cost stays the same.
• Needs Spirit Calling Bell, enough available FP and the rebirth-monument icon that permits spirit summoning. The ash remains reusable, but a defeated summon cannot simply be replaced during the same encounter.
