📋 About This Mod
WORKS IN DLC - 1. 16. 1
Ever wanted to have a companion in Elden Ring? Rather than having spirit summons that fade away after a fight, or being locked out if they die, you can now summon a companion spirit which will stick with you throughout the game. All spirit ashes are affected, including ones in the DLC.
The normal coloration of spirit ashes are removed, and they now have a small passive health regen.
I've released an alternate download with the original spirit effects and colorations.
CSV Files are a separate download for all your merging needs.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 576 endorsements and nearly 24k downloads.
- Adds a useful gameplay layer with passive regen and re-summoning.
- Simple concept that fits into any playthrough without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2025 – check compatibility with your current version.
- Small passive regen might be too minor for some players to notice.
For players who want a subtle companion that helps with survivability without changing core gameplay. Great for those who enjoy having a magical ally but don't want a complex follower system. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay overhauls or deep companion AI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a gameplay mod, make sure to check if it requires a mod loader like Forge or Fabric for your version.
- Test the summoning mechanic in a safe area first to see how the spirit behaves in combat.
- If you're playing on a server, confirm with the admin that the mod is allowed.
