How To Find Elden Ring’s Best Summon Spirit, The Mimic Tear

The summoned spirits of Elden Ring may be useful to take on bosses and other foes. You will unlock many companions you can choose from to upgrade and select the best characters or creatures for your situation. There are many standard and named allies you can use to help, but one summon shines above them all, even though it requires a lot of health. We’re going to tell you how to unlock the Mimic Tear summon ahead but be warned, there are plenty of The spoilersYou’ll be fine. If you’re okay with that, let’s go!

One of the biggest advantages of the best summon, The Mimic Tear, is that it costs health to summon instead of FP – meaning you can run it even with the heaviest strength or dex build that eschews all magic. Another advantage is: You can summon the Mimic Tear. Your weapons, ashes and even equipped items can be used by the Mimic Tear! Make sure you slot in some powerful perfume in your item slots to really take advantage of this, there’s nothing like getting a free damage shield and attack buff mid-fight! 

Having the Mimic Tear unleash all of your strongest attacks – and getting in there with your own moves on top – is enough to obliterate even the most powerful foes found in Elden Ring. The most crucial question is: Where can you find the Mimic Tear summon and how do I get it?

In order to find the Mimic Tear, you’ll first have to complete the General Radahn encounter located in Redmane Castle in Caelid. While we’re still figuring out what the exact trigger to make the festival occur is, my research leads me to believe that Radahn’s battle will be activated after you take your first steps onto the Atlus Plateau. This could be done via the Magma Draper cavern. Once Radahn defeat is complete, a star will be visible in the night sky. Take a walk around Limgrave and check out Fort Haight. It is amazing how the world has changed. You will find Nokron in the depths. Follow the steps and fight the Mimic Tear boss. It is as simple as that. It makes perfect sense that the fight would result in the summoning, but it doesn’t.

You can continue to the Ancestral Forests by moving onwards past this checkpoint. There is a spot of grace on a cliffside that faces some roofing and ledges. It’s time to take the Elden Ring platforming challenge and make your way across the precarious rooftops and ledges, eventually leading to a large room that has an adjacent alcove that’s sealed away. For you to get beyond the seal, you’ll need the Stonesward Key. However, at this point, most likely, you have plenty of them. If you don’t, they can be purchased at numerous NPCs around the world at a relatively low price. The Mimic Tear summon can be obtained by opening the gate and removing the guard.

Mimic Tear should be treated as an upgraded summon. This means that you need to try and +10 it quickly via underground runs and catacomb for plants. You will enjoy watching your Mimic shred bosses and having double the fun seeing them unleash their best ashes attacks, items, or spells.
