Elden Ring has a lot of Bosses & hostile creatures. Some of which are easy to deal with while others take a whole lifetime or two, at least it feels like that. To survive against these Foes, we as players must level up, upgrade, and get the best gear possible. Or we can just bypass all of that by using Spirit Ashes. Spirit Ashes are NPC summons that the player can use at the cost of FP & sometimes Health. Mimic Tear has been the best Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring but there is a strong contender that can take that title. That Spirit Summon is Cleanrot Knight Finlay. In this guide, I will show you how to get the Cleanrot Knight Finlay Spirit Summon in Elden Ring.

Why use Knight Finlay Spirit Summon?
The Cleanrot Knight Finlay Spirit Summon is a Legendary Spirit Ash that the player can use during their Battles. She may be the best Spirit Summon in the game, maybe even better than the Mimic Tear. I say this as Mimic Tear is only as strong as you are. If your character build is weak, it will be as well. Cleanrot Knight Finlay is independent of the player Stats and is pretty powerful.
She is strong close range and can deal with Holy Damage at long ranges. Not only that but she vomits out Scarlet Rot that will kill anyone in due time. This is perfect for Boss Fights. Why? Well, Scarlet Rot is a D.O.T. status effect that works on the Targets Max Health. So it doesn’t matter if the Boss has 10K Health or 100K Health, the damage will eat away the Health just the same.
This was all about getting the Cleanrot Knight Finlay Spirit Summon in Elden Ring. Hopefully, this guide has helped you. You can also check out our other guides like Best PvP Weapons You Should Use in Elden Ring.
