4. How to use the Iris of Grace in the Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree?

The Iris of Grace can be given to the Fire Knight Queelign to receive Fire Knight Queelign Spirit Ash, and to Swordhand of Night Jolán to receive the Swordhand Of Night Jolán Spirit Ash.

There are specific questlines that will lead you to these two NPCs and they reward you with these spirit ashes for completing the quests.

Additionally, there is another item called Iris of Occultation, which can be given to these two to receive different sets of weapons. However, if you tend to use spirit ashes often, then it is recommended that you give them the Iris of Grace.
