Spiritcaller Snail is a Boss in Elden Ring. Spiritcaller Snail is found in Road's End Catacombs and then again at the Spiritcaller's Cave. This is an optional boss, as players don't need to defeat it in order to advance in Elden Ring. However, doing so yields useful Items and Runes.
The normal enemy version is Lesser Spirit-Caller Snail. Other snail enemies are Serpent Snail, Crystal Snail, Skeletal Snail, and Lesser Spirit-Caller Snail.
A strange snail-like creature that gives off a pale glow. While weak on their own, they summon forth spirits from beyond to fight on their behalf. But once the snail dies, the spirit will vanish.

The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Spiritcaller Snail Boss Guide
Spiritcaller Snail Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Spiritcaller Snail:
- Focus on the snail and ignore its summons
- When the snail is invisible, look for a faint glow on the ground and attack it
Escargot: Don't bother fighting the Crucible Knight. It'll just get resummoned if it dies, and it'll vanish as soon as you kill the snail anyway. Instead, focus on finding and killing the snail. It will begin the fight in the far right corner of the room, but once you start hitting it it will teleport away. Dodge the Crucible Knight or distract it with summons as you look for a glowing spot, usually in the corners of the room. Once you see it, attack it. The snail doesn't have a lot of health, so it should die quickly once you track it down a few times.
Spiritcaller Snail Attacks & Counters
Attack | Description | Counter |
Spirit Summon | Waves its neck around and summons a spirit to fight you. Only uses this when its summons are dead | Ignore the summon and attack the snail |
Teleport | Teleports across the arena when you attack it | Track down where it teleported to and attack again |

I ran to the right front corner (as you enter the room) after killing the knight, and went to town on the snail with my +4 Claymore. The fight ended there as I got a critical or a stance break on the snail and it didn't teleport.

Snail summons Siluria, and when she's dead, summons Ordovis. If he is dead as well, summons both of them at same time and will keep resumming them together each time they die form that point onward. Just a fun fact.

The snail in road's end catacombs isn't lit up like a christmas tree the light that gives away its position is just a little brighter than the floor around it. But using a spirit summons to keep the crucible knight occupied while you look for the snail is definitely the way to go.

No magic light. Just look for a slightly brighter area that looks lit up an over head light and throw mist on it and keep moving. 9/10 its the snail. It’s not just the corners- more like along the walls.
Just do laps around the summon.

The numbers provided are completely false as of today for the Road Ends Catacombs, his number of summons are limitless :
Silura when above 75% HP.
Ordovis when between 50% and 75% HP.
Both when under 50% HP.
You can test for yourself never damaging him and you can beat a thousand Siluras without a single change.

Skeletal Bandit Ashes Summon is OP for this fight. The Snail’s summon gets distracted and the skeleton revives after death. The boss summon doesn’t appear to use its special moves if it’s on high hp, so avoid damaging it. Snail is invisible but casts a white glow on the ground.

Be wary when kiting the summoned knight around as it the lunge attack seems to have a short blink which means his reach is way more than you think, not sure if that's intentional or not tho. Using summoning ashes of mulitple allied is helpful to distract it, ie wolves, etc..

DO NOT focus on the boss' phantom (the big guy), but on the boss (the snail). The snail is invisible from afar. Look for white glow around the room, it shows where the invisible snail is.
