To get the powerful Mimic Tear Ashes in Elden Ring, follow these steps:
1. Defeat Starscourge Radahn
First, you must defeat General Radahn in Redmane Castle, located in the Caelid region. This triggers a major story event — a meteor crashes into the Lands Between, opening up access to Nokron, Eternal City.
Tip: Redmane Castle becomes accessible for the Radahn Festival after progressing through Ranni’s questline or reaching a key story point.
2. Enter Nokron, Eternal City
After Radahn’s defeat, head to the large crater south of Mistwood in East Limgrave — near Fort Haight. Drop into the crater to explore Nokron.
3. Reach Night’s Sacred Ground
Progress through Nokron until you reach the Ancestral Woods Site of Grace. From there:
Jump across rooftops and ledges to reach the Night’s Sacred Ground area.
Defeat or avoid enemies and navigate to a room with a fog wall.
4. Open the Fog Wall (Requires a Stonesword Key)
Use a Stonesword Key to open the Imp Statue fog wall in this area. Inside the chest, you’ll find the Mimic Tear Ashes.
What Makes Mimic Tear Ashes Special?
The Mimic Tear summons a copy of your character, including your weapons, armor, and consumables — making it one of the most versatile and powerful Spirit Ashes in the game. Unlike other summons, it costs HP instead of FP, allowing spellcasters and hybrid builds to use it even with low FP.
Quick Checklist:
✅ Defeat Radahn in Caelid
✅ Access Nokron via the crater in East Limgrave
