The in-game description states that Revered Spirit Ash in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is an upgrade item similar to Scadutree Fragment that can be acquired from the corpses of hornsent and artifacts used to accessorize villages and townships throughout the Realm of Shadow ritualistically. Players may consume it in Sites of Grace to strengthen their Revered Spirit Ash Blessing.

The Revered Spirit Ash Blessing improves summoned spirits' and spectral steeds' ability to deal and mitigate damage but has no effect outside of the Realm of Shadow. This means that if players were to travel back to the base game of Elden Ring, they would lose the buffs provided by Revered Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

It is said that this resource reportedly accumulates in the palms of the withered corpses known as tutelary deities.
