Elden Ring offers a variety of tools to overcome the challenges you encounter while exploring its gigantic world. You can craft items that exploit enemy weaknesses or even summon spectral spirits, known as Spirit Ashes, to assist you in challenging battles. Like weapons, Spirit Ashes must also be upgraded to make them stronger and ensure their survival in boss fights.

You can upgrade standard Spirit Ashes using Grave Gloveworts, which are found throughout the world, especially in caves and dungeons. However, to max out your favorite summons, you also need a Great Grave Glovewort, which is a limited resource. You can find five Great Grave Gloverworts in the base game, and six more in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Here's how you can find all the Great Grave Gloveworts in Elden Ring's DLC.

Difference Between Great Grave Glovewort & Great Ghost Glovewort

Elden Ring - Shadow of the Erdtree - Great Grave & Ghost Glovewort

In Elden Ring, you can find two types of Gloveworts: Grave Gloveworts and Ghost Gloveworts. These are akin to the Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones, which are used to upgrade standard and special weapons, respectively. Similarly, Grave Gloveworts are used to upgrade standard Spirit Ashes and Ghost Gloveworts upgrade renowned/elite Spirit Ashes.

Spirit Ashes can be upgraded to a maximum level of +10, and the final upgrade requires the rare variant of these Gloveworts: Great Grave Glovewort for standard Spirits and Great Ghost Glovewort for renowned/elite Spirits.
