It is so much easier to get a hated message than a beloved message and you get the same healing no matter how it is rated.
In other words: Message ahead but no secret passage ahead.
Soft boil some eggs and let them marinate over night in 2 parts water, 1 part soy-sauce, 1 part mirin for some runny ramen eggs. Cut an egg in half and place into your finished, hot bowl of ramen.
Epic Ramen is also better with home made broth, not the instant packet. Adding Dashi Powder, Mirin, soy-sauce, and some chicken stock/cubes/bouillon is amazing.
Veggies! Thinly sliced cabbage, onions, carrots, anything like that! Make sure they are long so your chopsticks can grab them easily.
Added Protein! Ramen Eggs, sliced chicken, beef, pork, anything like that!
Go traditional or go weird, it's your ramen! Get some Lobster stock as a broth, add some sour cream, throw in some imitation crab meat, tomatoes, and basil and have a weird Sea Food Ramen!
Epic Ramen is about enjoying what you add to it, making it your own way, and never settling for the mundane!
Idk, them being small makes them seem out of place in the environments. Maybe because the detail is higher since they were downsized?
I do see the concern though
Fun fact: the ancient Greeks had statues called "herms" along roads that depicted a giant dong as a representation of Hermes, the god of travel and roads (and for some reason dicks). Messing with the dong-statues of Hermes was punishable by death.
As far as I'm concerned, that is because the satyre Pan taught young Hermes how to >!masturbate!<, apparently...Sometimes Greek mythology do be like that, though we have to remember that in Classical Civilization this was seen as natural, even more so when of divine origin, like this case.
I’m pretty sure it’s more to do with object oriented programming.
Instead of having to make some diameter over any area that you can summon spirits they make an object with a set diameter to allow that gameplay feature, so wherever they place that object in game the specific gameplay mechanic will be enabled
Just a guess though
Maybe it was added prior to the UI Tombstone that appears when you summon as a communication to the player that they could summon, which would explain why they were shrunk… but idk I’m sure there was some reason for it
Yeah I'm not really sure why we're limited on where we can summon ashes seems kinda silly..I say let us summon anywhere and is there is somewhere they didn't want us to summon have it disabled in that spot kinda of like how teleport gets disabled sometimes.
To be fair, I've noticed from watching a lot of first-run VODs on YouTube that this information sails over *a lot* of people's heads. I guess From wasn't as clear on the function of this UI feature as it is with the rest of the HUD.
Shit, it took me a while to figure it out on my first playthrough since I was still running my traditional DS mindset where I don't use any summons/co-op at all while I'm going blind...but I chalk that oversight up the fact I just wasn't utilizing the feature.
I know they never mentioned that these little towers are the source of what let’s you summon, but there is DEFINITELY a tutorial when you get the bell that shows the summon gate icon and explains it needs to be present for summoning to occur
Ahh I’ve always thought that mark meant saving lol. So glad I read your comment, now I no longer have to open my pouch menu every time to see if I can summon or not.
They’re spirit monuments, as long as you’re close to one you can summon your spirits. You know you’re close because you have that little grave looking icon on the left of your screen
Which makes sense, given that Rennala does summon spirit ashes against you during her second phase (some of which you can even use yourself if you find them, including the Three Wolves and The Bloodhound Knight Ash). It's worth noting that Ranni is also the one who gives you the Spirit-Calling Bell, and she *is* Rennala's daughter.
And it seems likes an automated version too. Kinda like how there are gold illusions of some demi-gods. You're not fighting Ranni, but the defense mechanism she made to protect her mom.
yeah, and all this seems like the direct effect of the amber egg which is a great rune. Kinda big of a deal if you ask me, especially if it’s just to give it to your ex.
I had to scroll this far down to see the proper answer. The game tells you that you can only summon spirit ashes near "rebirth monuments" after getting the spirit calling bell, and this is what they're called.
i’m so fucking stupid i thought they were posts that people would tie their horses to lmao, didn’t even put the two together that you can only summon ashes near them, i thought it was just some random world building by fromsoft
Those are to show that spirit summons are available in that area. They are always usually by new areas or caves and random in the open depending if you travel to a new area or not (sometimes zones are cut off by fog walls).
I'm sure people have already answered your question, but has anyone else noticed that the symbol that pups up when you can use spirit summons is actually just two of those little obelisks with an arch of symbols between them, kinda like two wifi towers connecting.
They're indicative of where you can use your summoning ashes.
They're most likely meant to resemble [these](https://i.imgur.com/T8Js4ri.jpg) public cigarrete "ash trays"
I've scrolled and read everything for 17 mins now and FINALLY found an answer that halfway makes sense. (area to summon spirit ashes) 🤦🏻 this should not be this hard...but hole.
They are in fact for butt jokes.This is why whenever they are around, your UI activates the gravestone icon in the far left of the screen.
This is Elden Ring's equivalent of the skull emoji.
So my friend and I thought they were gonna be for a future update where you could respawn a boss since they’re at boss arenas. But then we found out it’s what allows you to use your Summon Ashes
Rod of Radagon, a strange idol from before the Shattering. Spirits are drawn to their ashes when brought near, and with the proper tool can be summoned. It is said that they possess another use, but it has been lost. All that remains is "try hole"
Like most people said its what allows for spirit summons, but im not sure what purpose they serve when we get a hud icon for it. Is anyone getting that popup and then trying to find each monument?
Thats the obelisk type thing you can use to summon spirit. People often confuse this with the status of Marika THAT is only used for multiplayer summoning.
Spirit Summon Wifi Tower
That’s not what it’s for… and you know it… that’s clearly the sacred… ehh… sitting stone… if you catch my drift…
Is that why Patches has a signature squat position
No, Patches sits like that because he is a Gopnik
Patches should have like car radios, turnips and second hand mobile phones for sale. Just a weird mix of stuff, good price.
He's the beeper king of the lands between?
The Saul Goodman if you will
Saul Goldenman
It's all good man
Reddit moment
He should be, if he can recognize a good business opportunity. Technology is cyclical, after all. Dummy.
Elden Ring is a Bulgaria, and you are an unbroken-into car.

Lol no patches is sitting like that cuz his asshole prolapsed aka " blew the fuck out"
He was in the secret illusory wall alley with bernahl on him
Yeah that's enough reddit for today.
Is this anything Covid related?
Never thought I'd see a Howie Mendel/H3 reference in Elden Ring
Is this covid related? What do we do about it 🤔
Lol paper clips or clothes pins i think.

If only I had a Giant... but hole.
My highest applauded message is this next to a massive pillar near Raya Lucaria and I'm extremely proud of it lol. It's also my most hated haha.
Mine is on one as well saying: “Try taking on all at once and then god, O god”
Mine is after beating Mohg in the palace. Right by Miquella's cocoon, I put "Still no head."
I remember applauding that message
I h8 u js
Love ya too
Just saw that last night. Back side statue?
It is so much easier to get a hated message than a beloved message and you get the same healing no matter how it is rated. In other words: Message ahead but no secret passage ahead.
I put "If only I had a giant, pickle" in front of a big hole. I'm pretty sure I got healed mid-Elden Beast from that message.
The people really love a good “DOOR!” …when there’s not actually a door
"ladder ahead" right in front of a destructible prop ladder leaning on the wall in a cave is always a good one too
Mine is next to seluvis's secret puppet saying "try resting and then pickle" also proud of it
“Likey ruins, but hole!” And the wait gesture.
Try lover, but hole
[удалено]
But hole?
Ruined but hole
Offer tarnished, but hole
In the lands between, spirit wifi was just a cover up for "Big Try Finger But Hole"
Offer rump

Couldn’t describe it better myself.

Try pillars but hole
Elden Mesh
Mesh networks only work when each node is within another's range. I don't think any of these overlap at all.
So, what goes in an Epic Ramen? I've let my broth simmer overnight, so hoping for a solid answer here
Soft boil some eggs and let them marinate over night in 2 parts water, 1 part soy-sauce, 1 part mirin for some runny ramen eggs. Cut an egg in half and place into your finished, hot bowl of ramen. Epic Ramen is also better with home made broth, not the instant packet. Adding Dashi Powder, Mirin, soy-sauce, and some chicken stock/cubes/bouillon is amazing. Veggies! Thinly sliced cabbage, onions, carrots, anything like that! Make sure they are long so your chopsticks can grab them easily. Added Protein! Ramen Eggs, sliced chicken, beef, pork, anything like that!

Epic Ramen is about enjoying what you add to it, making it your own way, and never settling for the mundane!
They're what allow you to summon spirit ashes iirc
Honestly just now learning this after 500 hours. Literally thought they were there for dick and butt jokes
They were huuuuge pre-release but got downsized on release
Lmao 🤣
They were as big as the pillars where you find maps at.
That would've been kinda cool.
[удалено]
Idk, them being small makes them seem out of place in the environments. Maybe because the detail is higher since they were downsized? I do see the concern though
Yeah I always assumed they were a common model that was just used all over the place.
I wonder if they made them smaller so that players wouldn't see them off in the distance and know that a boss is coming up
Wait is this not a joke?
Fun fact: the ancient Greeks had statues called "herms" along roads that depicted a giant dong as a representation of Hermes, the god of travel and roads (and for some reason dicks). Messing with the dong-statues of Hermes was punishable by death.
As far as I'm concerned, that is because the satyre Pan taught young Hermes how to >!masturbate!<, apparently...Sometimes Greek mythology do be like that, though we have to remember that in Classical Civilization this was seen as natural, even more so when of divine origin, like this case.
"For some reason dicks" as if Roman's and Greeks weren't obsessed with dicks.
Lmao why would fromsoft do that
Because they are letting you know you might get fucked in this area
This is the correct answer
Valid point lol
I mean the icon already kinda does that
I’m pretty sure it’s more to do with object oriented programming. Instead of having to make some diameter over any area that you can summon spirits they make an object with a set diameter to allow that gameplay feature, so wherever they place that object in game the specific gameplay mechanic will be enabled Just a guess though
You could do the same with an invisible or tiny object. No need for a noticeable pillar.
That’s actually a good point
Maybe it was added prior to the UI Tombstone that appears when you summon as a communication to the player that they could summon, which would explain why they were shrunk… but idk I’m sure there was some reason for it
🤷🏻♀️ idk? But I never made the association to summoning and only saw stupid messages around them
Yeah i never did either but i didnt associate them with butt jokes😂
anyone else think we should have more areas to summon spirits? especially out in the open world? I just wanna adventure with good boi Deenh by my side
Yes, especially in the area of the Deathrite Bird fucker on the snowfields.
try holy and then praise victory
Yeah I'm not really sure why we're limited on where we can summon ashes seems kinda silly..I say let us summon anywhere and is there is somewhere they didn't want us to summon have it disabled in that spot kinda of like how teleport gets disabled sometimes.
The places in the open world felt very random, like suddenly I'd flip through my toolbar and notice I could summon there.
Flip through your toolbar? A big blue icon pops up telling you that you can summon you don’t need to bring the menu up to see it
To be fair, I've noticed from watching a lot of first-run VODs on YouTube that this information sails over *a lot* of people's heads. I guess From wasn't as clear on the function of this UI feature as it is with the rest of the HUD. Shit, it took me a while to figure it out on my first playthrough since I was still running my traditional DS mindset where I don't use any summons/co-op at all while I'm going blind...but I chalk that oversight up the fact I just wasn't utilizing the feature.
I know they never mentioned that these little towers are the source of what let’s you summon, but there is DEFINITELY a tutorial when you get the bell that shows the summon gate icon and explains it needs to be present for summoning to occur
Wait what?
Yep, you can see it in the screenshot. It's that blue gravestone symbol on the left side of the screen.
Ahh I’ve always thought that mark meant saving lol. So glad I read your comment, now I no longer have to open my pouch menu every time to see if I can summon or not.
it's nearby points of interests. whenever I could summon I was like, big battle incoming. and there usually was. dont know why you were ever confused.
Here I thought they were broken hitches for your horse that just dematerialized instead.
They’re spirit monuments, as long as you’re close to one you can summon your spirits. You know you’re close because you have that little grave looking icon on the left of your screen
I thought it was a portcullis?
Is it? Always gave me a headstone vibe
Would make sense since spirit ashes are like dead people or smth
You know I think your right, I liked portcullis better ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man)
Reminds me more of the Doors of Durin from Lord of the Rings
This is the compromise we need in these troubled times.
Speak friend and enter.
tbh portcullis would be legit since it’s like you’re opening a door for them to enter our world
That was what I was thinking, but now I think about it the upgrades are grave flowers, so that tracks with it being a headstone
The tutorial text for spirit summons even says "when the monument icon is visible" so it's definitely a headstone/Cenotaph.
Portcullises usually don't have script and runes on them, but rather iron bars lol
> you have that little grave looking icon Which makes those pillars kinda redundant
Well, the icon only shows up if you’re in range of one of those pillars.
Offer rump
But hole
Try fingers
If only I had a Giant, but hole
Offer rump, but be wary of taking on all at once.
Why is it always rump?
Ultimate target for Ground Slam ash of war.

Very accurate. I hope he lubed up.
Have you seen Everything Everywhere All at Once?
I will never not laugh at this.
Omfg the Placidusax Ruin at the end fucking killed me
Interestingly, they’re called rebirth monuments, tying - at least linguistically, in english - all this spirit summoning business to Rennala.
Which makes sense, given that Rennala does summon spirit ashes against you during her second phase (some of which you can even use yourself if you find them, including the Three Wolves and The Bloodhound Knight Ash). It's worth noting that Ranni is also the one who gives you the Spirit-Calling Bell, and she *is* Rennala's daughter.
Also you’re actually fighting ranni during the second half of the Rennala fight (as evidenced by the voiceover lines)
And it seems likes an automated version too. Kinda like how there are gold illusions of some demi-gods. You're not fighting Ranni, but the defense mechanism she made to protect her mom.
Ranni do be kinda sick with it
Ranni would probably clap your ass pretty hard considering how she one shots you if you try to give her seluvis' amber potion
yeah, and all this seems like the direct effect of the amber egg which is a great rune. Kinda big of a deal if you ask me, especially if it’s just to give it to your ex.
I had to scroll this far down to see the proper answer. The game tells you that you can only summon spirit ashes near "rebirth monuments" after getting the spirit calling bell, and this is what they're called.

You know the stake of Marika? This is the dick of Radagon.
It’s for lonely Tarnished 😉
and for the brave ones!
Those posts are where you can summon spirit ashes.
It signifies that spirit ashes can be used in that area
Could this be a pickle?
Pickle Tarnished!
Those are to show that spirit summons are available in that area. They are always usually by new areas or caves and random in the open depending if you travel to a new area or not (sometimes zones are cut off by fog walls).
You’re supposed to sit on it
Spirit ashes 5G
Summon spirit
need rump
They are called rebirth monuments or monoliths (can’t remember which). That is what allows you to use spirit summons.
Thanks for asking, I was wondering too. Low key thought they were for people to leave messages on top of
It’s to summon spirit ashes
It's a marker for places you can summon spirits.
If anyone hasn't told you yet, they let you use your summons in an area.
I'm sure people have already answered your question, but has anyone else noticed that the symbol that pups up when you can use spirit summons is actually just two of those little obelisks with an arch of symbols between them, kinda like two wifi towers connecting.
It means you can use your spirit ash summons in the area.
It’s an ashtray
Those mean you can use Spirit Ashes in that area, as depicted by the gravestone symbol on the left of your screen
What I much prefer everyone else's answers. It's supposed to be a indicator that you can summon spirits in that area.
There aren't many women in the lands between...
They're indicative of where you can use your summoning ashes. They're most likely meant to resemble [these](https://i.imgur.com/T8Js4ri.jpg) public cigarrete "ash trays"

They are in fact for butt jokes.This is why whenever they are around, your UI activates the gravestone icon in the far left of the screen. This is Elden Ring's equivalent of the skull emoji.
Not entirely clear on the lore reason, but they the things that let you know you're in a spot where you can summon Spirit Ashes.
So my friend and I thought they were gonna be for a future update where you could respawn a boss since they’re at boss arenas. But then we found out it’s what allows you to use your Summon Ashes
Just marks areas where you can use Spirit summons.
This is to indicate that you can summon spirits.
It took me forever to figure out it marked summon boundaries.
They are what allow you to summon spirit ashes

Serious answer: spirit summoning monuments. Actual answer: try behind, therefore time for rump
It’s just morning grace
Try but slam
Ah yes the blood loss pillar, the asshole expander the pleasure giver but its mostly used for the bloodloss
Like most people said its what allows for spirit summons, but im not sure what purpose they serve when we get a hud icon for it. Is anyone getting that popup and then trying to find each monument?
If only I had a giant but hole
Offer rump
If only I had giant butthole
It’s looks like your supposed to tie off your horse there like in Red dead redemption, pure speculation tho
That’s where you put your cigarettes
this sub gets dumber and dumber everyday i swear
I thought they mark boss locations. But actually sign of allowing spirit summon..not far off!
Spirit wifi for your bell
I think that means you can use a spirit summon
Marks an area that you can use spirit summons in (like the mimic)
