Players tackling the game's toughest adversaries, such as Yetuga and the Blade Phantom, will appreciate the arrival of this helpful feature. In the third mission, within the Forgotten Temples of the Embars Ruins, you'll face the Revenant of Adversity at the temple's base after you've disabled the magical device draining Netherworld energy. This enemy, a hybrid of Khazan and the Blade Phantom, must be defeated to unlock the ability to summon the Spirit of Advocacy in future encounters.

Once unlocked, the Spirit of Advocacy becomes available just before the final boss fight of each mission. To summon it, look for the golden glowing spot in front of the boss gate. You'll need to use a Lacrima of Circulation, a rare item obtained by defeating other Revenants of Adversity, which now appear in each level. Make it a priority to summon and defeat these enemies whenever possible to collect the Lacrima of Circulation, as it's crucial for the next step.

After completing the Forgotten Temple mission, head back to The Crevice where you'll find the NPC Daphrona. Engage in conversation with her to access the upgrade options for the Spirit of Advocacy. By using Lacrima of Circulation, you can enhance its health, damage, and stamina, transforming it into a formidable ally during boss encounters. It's beneficial to farm additional Lacrima of Circulation, as it not only boosts the Spirit but also provides regular Lacrima for your own stat upgrades and Vengeance Points bonuses. Don't forget to explore the additional buffs Daphrona can offer from destroyed Soulstones.
