Elden Ring Nightreign

Spectral Hawk Guide

Add to Watchlist

Elden Ring Nightrein - Spectral Hawk Guide

The Spectral Hawk is your primary way of getting around in Elden Ring Nightreign. It lets you glide across Limveld throughout the match. This guide covers what the Spectral Hawk is, how to control it, and how to summon it using Spectral Hawk Trees.

What is The Spectral Hawk?

A Glider Mount Used to Travel Across Limveld

Spectral Hawk

The Spectral Hawk is a large, magical bird with bright blue feathers which functions as a glider. It appears at the beginning of each match, carrying you and two other players into Limveld. Once in the sky, you can steer it and choose where to land.

You can also summon the Hawk again later during the match by interacting with glowing Spectral Hawk Trees found throughout the map.

How The Spectral Hawk Drop Works

Drop Into Limveld and Choose Your Landing Spot

In every match, you can choose to land as a group or individually. While you always drop to the same region, the map is different on every playthrough.

The building structures, terrain, as well as the weather simulation changes meaning that you have to pick your point of descent.

Can You Summon the Spectral Hawk Anytime?

Resummon Your Spectral Hawk at Spectral Hawk Trees

You can only summon the Spectral Hawk mid-game at Spectral Hawk Trees, special spots marked on the map for calling your Hawk. These are fixed locations. Look for the tree-like icon on the map.

Tips For Gliding Using Spectral Hawk
