What Ghost Glovewort 8 Is Used For
In simple terms, Ghost Glovewort 8 upgrades your special Spirit Ashes – the ones tied to story characters or questlines – to level +8. You’ll need these materials to max them at +10. Think of it as your summon’s gym membership: the more you collect, the stronger they hit, and the longer they survive during boss fights.
| Upgrade Level | Required Material | Effect on Spirit Ash |
|---|---|---|
| +7 → +8 | Ghost Glovewort 8 | Big HP and damage boost, especially noticeable on tank summons. |
| +8 → +9 | Ghost Glovewort 9 | Maxes out most stats before final enhancement. |
| +9 → +10 | Great Ghost Glovewort | Turns your summon into an endgame powerhouse. |
Where to Find Ghost Glovewort 8
Unlike the early levels, this one doesn’t appear in random catacombs. You’ll find it in high-level regions – mostly in late-game underground zones and near the end of the Ainsel and Deeproot areas. If you’ve only explored Limgrave or Liurnia, you’re not there yet. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Ainsel River Main
Start from the Ainsel River Main Site of Grace. Head north along the ruins where you’ll meet claymen and those floating silver orbs. Look around the corners and on the ledges near waterfalls – there’s often a Ghost Glovewort 8 shimmering on the ground near enemies that can knock you off.
2. Nokstella, Eternal City
This is one of the easiest farming areas. Nokstella has several Ghost Glovewort 7 and 8 scattered across its shiny stone paths. Run from the first Site of Grace through the lower riverbed and check under the bridges. Just be ready to dodge the lightning attacks from enemies above.
3. Deeproot Depths
If you’ve beaten Fia’s champions, the Ghost Glovewort 8 near the massive roots is worth the trouble. From the Nameless Eternal City Site of Grace, move north and check the smaller alcoves along the way. Look for glowing white flowers – that’s your material.
4. Haligtree
This is the deadliest route but also the most rewarding. Ghost Glovewort 8 can spawn in narrow branches guarded by Cleanrot Knights. If you’ve reached this far, you’re already in endgame mode – so stack up on ranged attacks and fire resistance.
5. Buy It From a Bell Bearing
After collecting the Ghost-Glovewort Picker’s Bell Bearing [3] (found in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree), you can buy Ghost Glovewort 8 from the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold. This is the easiest option if you’d rather skip hunting through deadly areas.
Why Ghost Glovewort 8 Is So Valuable
By this point in the game, bosses hit hard enough to one-shot your summon if it’s under-leveled. Ghost Glovewort 8 makes a massive difference. Mimic Tear, Black Knife Tiche, and Latenna become real companions rather than distractions.
It’s also rare – only a few naturally respawn in the world. Once you’ve picked them up, that’s it. Unless you unlock the bell bearing, farming isn’t really an option.
| Summon | Recommended Upgrade | Why It Benefits From Ghost Glovewort 8 |
|---|---|---|
| Mimic Tear | +8 or higher | Scales with your gear; higher HP means it tanks like a second player. |
| Black Knife Tiche | +8 | Her agility and true damage scale sharply with upgrade level. |
| Latenna the Albinauric | +8 | Massively improves her range damage and durability when stationary. |
| Omenkiller Rollo | +8 | Can survive aggressive bosses long enough to deal heavy bleed damage. |
Tips for Farming Safely
- Use stealth talismans. Enemies in Ainsel and Nokstella are sensitive to movement – slow walking and crouching go a long way.
- Mark your map. Once you grab a Glovewort, mark it as cleared to avoid retracing steps later.
- Keep a ranged weapon handy. Some spawn spots are near cliffs – hitting enemies from distance saves you from being knocked off.
- Grab a torch. It’s dark underground. A simple lantern or torch will help you spot white-glowing flowers more easily.
Why You Should Unlock the Bell Bearing
Once you reach the Haligtree and get the Ghost-Glovewort Picker’s Bell Bearing [3], you can buy Ghost Glovewort 8 infinitely. That’s the game’s way of saying, “You’ve earned convenience.” If you miss it, you’ll waste hours replaying dangerous zones for single flowers. Just hand that bell bearing to the Twin Maiden Husks and stock up.
Final Thoughts
Collecting Ghost Glovewort 8 might not sound exciting, but it’s one of the biggest mid-to-late-game power spikes you can get. It’s the difference between your summon dying in 10 seconds and lasting an entire boss phase. Whether you find it in Ainsel River or just buy it later, don’t skip it – it’s one of those small upgrades that changes the flow of every tough fight.
