In Elden Ring, which boss is known as the Regal Ancestor Spirit?

In Elden Ring, the boss known as the Regal Ancestor Spirit is the Regal Ancestor Spirit. It is encountered in Nokron, Eternal City, after activating the necessary obelisks in the Hallowhorn Grounds.

The Regal Ancestor Spirit resembles the earlier Ancestor Spirit but is a separate boss with a distinct arena and stronger presentation. Its battle includes spectral movement, sweeping attacks, and the ability to restore health by absorbing nearby spirit creatures. The encounter emphasizes the worship of ancestral beings beneath the Lands Between.

The two Ancestor Spirit fights are easy to mix up because their names and appearances are closely related. The standard Ancestor Spirit is tied to the Siofra River area, while the Regal version is found in Nokron. Neither boss is the Ancestral Follower enemy encountered elsewhere underground.
