Where to use the Iris of Grace in Elden Ring

The Iris of Grace has two key uses in Shadow of the Erdtree and both are linked to some of the coolest side quests in the DLC.

First, inside the Prayer Room in the Church District of the Black Keep, you can give the Iris of Grace to Fire Knight Queenlign to receive his Spirit Ash.

Then secondly, you can give the Iris of Grace to Swordhand of Night, Jolan as part of Ymir's Quest to receive her Spirit Ash as well.

Using the Iris of Grace in this way doesn’t consume the item, so you can do both in the same playthrough.

Alternatively, you can also give each of these characters the Iris of Occultation if you would prefer to get their unique weapon instead.
