Can You Summon for the Great Jar Fight? A Comprehensive Guide
In Elden Ring, summoning the right allies can turn the tide of battle in your favor. However, when it comes to the Great Jar fight, some players may wonder if it’s possible to summon in this specific encounter. The answer is yes, you can summon for the Great Jar fight, but you need to know how.
How to Summon
To summon for the Great Jar fight, you must first talk to Alexander the Iron Fist at the crag lake, just after you acquire the Runear. He will then respond with "The Jar fights are mine alone…", but if you manage to defeat him, you can speak to him at Radahn’s Festival in Redmane Castle, where he will give you the option to duplicate your spirit ashes, essentially creating a second, invincible version of your player character. This will serve as your summon, available for you to use at any time during the battle against the Great Jar. Please note that it’s essential to use Radahn’s Festival before participating in the Great Jar fight**.
How It Works
Here’s what happens when you use Mimic Tear, the recommended summon for the Great Jar fight:
• Duplicates Your Spirit Ashes: It creates a second version of your player character, matching your build, abilities, and even your armor, allowing you to focus on dealing damage while the mirrored version absorbs damage.
Benefits
Summoning a second player character using Radahn’s Festival has significant advantages in the Great Jar fight:
• Tidal Wave of Damage: As both characters are doing equal damage, the total damage dealt will increase exponentially.
Best Practices
For effective summoning during the Great Jar fight:
• Keep Both Characters Healthy: Focus on healing the spirit ashes (your original self) and maintain your focus on the Great Jar to minimize damage.
• Switch Roles: Shift attention between your original and mirroring versions, adjusting for situations, such as handling adds, managing invades, and controlling waves.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
When using this summon, it’s vital to remember:
• Don’t Let Either Get Too Close: Be wary of both versions being consumed by the Great Jar. Maintain distance to keep either version safe.
Strategies
Some common summoning strategies include:
-
Keep-All-the-Times-Work: Utilize a dedicated spirit ash (Oleg, Rollo, and Tiche) that allows for all times being safe.
-
Casting-Resting Loop: Repeatly switch back and forth between both spirit ashes to manage healing.
- Single Focus: Assign specific actions between the two spirit ashes and adjust roles based on priority.
Conclusion
Mastering the Great Jar fight requires patience, persistence, and clever strategy. Leveraging Radahn’s Festival and using the Mimic Tear summons Mimic Tear, the highest-damage summoned spirit ash, offers unique advantages and allows you to focus on damage and dealing with additional threats while being protected. Remember to coordinate between both spirit ashes by maintaining a healthy, keep-distance strategy. This battle requires focus and awareness – Don’t Be Cowed.
