As a knight of Leyndell and devout worshiper of the ancient dragons, Kristoff has long since outlived his allotted time, but he can still serve Elden Ring players as a spirit. This mighty warrior wields a large shield and a deadly spear that commands the power of lightning. Without a doubt, the 108 FP spent on summoning such an ally is worth it, but first, you must snatch his soul from the hands of the Ancient Hero of Zamor.

Progressing through the game, players can meet three Ancient Heroes of Zamor in different locations, but only one will reward them with Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff. The boss you need is in the depths of the dungeon west of Leyndell, Royal Capital, and we are here to guide you along the right path.

The only way to get Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Ashes in Elden Ring is after defeating the Ancient Hero of Zamor. This boss awaits the brave Tarnished in the small dungeon west of Leyndell, Royal Capital. Take the Windmill Village Site of Grace as your starting point and follow the path south along the capital walls. Once you reach the Rampartside Path Site of Grace, turn west, and you'll soon notice the dungeon entrance.

Having reached the right place, players will find the Black Knife Assassin at the entrance, so it won't be easy to get inside. After defeating it, enter the dungeon and stand on the elevator slab to go down below. It is worth noting that the system of corridors in this location is confusing, so here are the exact steps that will lead you to the boss:

Go straight ahead and take Sainted Hero's Grave Site of Grace as a starting point.
Go to the back of the room, turn left, and go down the steps.
Go straight, take the first right, and go down below.
Walk towards the round illuminated platform, turn left, and go straight down the steps until you enter the corridor to the left of the wall statue with a glowing stone in its hand.
Once you enter the corridor, turn left and go lower. Upon entering the room, jump so that the floor collapses under you, and you can go even lower.
Activate the lever to the right of the wooden door and enter it as soon as it opens.
Go under all the falling blades and look for a small passage on the right wall.
Climb the stairs, jump off the ledge, and go right until you spot a shadow enemy.
Make the enemy follow you and lead it into the circle of light. From the enemy room, go down the steps and jump off the ledge on the right. Go under the blades and up the steps until you are right in front of the circle of light. As soon as the shadow creature steps on the circle, its defense will drop, and you can kill it.
Go under all the blades again, but this time continue straight to the very end of the corridor and enter the open door.
This path has no branches, so go straight, and you will reach the Ancient Hero of Zamor room.

Elden Ring: Things You Should Sell To Merchants

In Elden Ring, it's usually a good idea to sell the following items when players have the chance.

This boss has ranged and melee attacks, but its strength and speed are far from ideal. Beware of the ice breath and use Dodge-Roll when the enemy jumps on you. Ranged attacks guarantee an easy victory, but you can also deal decent melee damage when the boss casts frost breath. Once this enemy falls, you will receive the coveted Ancient Dragon Knight Kristoff Ashes.
