Summary
- Bandai Namco and FromSoftware partner with Torch Torch for an Elden Ring Spectral Steed Whistle replica.
- The replica costs 28,600 yen (approximately $200) and is expected to ship sometime in January 2026.
A brand-new piece of Elden Ring merchandise has been announced by Bandai Namco and FromSoftware in partnership with Torch Torch to reveal the Spectral Steed Whistle replica, which is perfect for Torrent fans despite the hefty price tag. Elden Ring was first launched in 2022 and found immediate critical acclaim thanks to the meticulous, dark fantasy world-building helmed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and Game of Thrones writer George R. R. Martin.
This isn’t the first time Torch Torch has taken a stab at soulslike merchandise with Bandai Namco and FromSoftware, as the company also released items for Bloodborne fans. In the past, gamers could purchase a stunning Ranni statue and Dark Moon Ring, as well as a necklace inspired by the Cainhurst Badge. Furthermore, fans have taken measures into their own hands to create keepsakes too, including one Elden Ring fan who made stunning replicas of the Dark Moon and Black Blade swords.

The Spectral Steed Whistle replica takes the form of a gold ring and is a perfect recreation of the in-game item. Plated with 925 sterling silver, the replica costs 28,600 yen (approximately $200), and interested parties can purchase their copy from Buyee, where worldwide shipping is available. Unfortunately, buyers will have a long wait after purchasing, as the item is not expected to start shipping until January 2026. Several soulslike fans agree Torrent is what really makes Elden Ring great by breaking the mold on video game horses, which makes this ring an unmissable collector’s piece despite the high price tag.
Elden Ring Spectral Steed Whistle Replica Costs $200
Torrent is a spectral steed that serves as the Tarnished’s mount in the game, carrying a similar appearance to a horse with two short horns. To summon Torrent in Elden Ring, players need to obtain the Spectral Steed Whistle, which is a summoning item in-game, and entertain the Tarnished’s introduction to Melina in Limgrave before receiving the item. Torrent has an adorable taste for Frozen Raisins in particular and boasts a handful of useful abilities, including a resistance to fall damage.
The next endeavor on fans’ radar this year is the May release of co-op spin-off Elden Ring Nightreign, which recently saw its last two classes revealed in a leak. Elden Ring Nightreign’s PC specs have also become public knowledge ahead of its launch date, and players are looking forward to returning to a now procedurally generated version of Limgrave called Limveld and tackling punishing boss battles with friends.
