Find Wandering Wight in Forest of Wolves in Chapter 1
You can find the Wandering Wight near the Outside the Forest incense shrine in the Forest of Wolves in Chapter 1. After reaching the shrine, move past the wolves, cross the bridge, and turn left to encounter the Wandering Wight.
Disappears if You Unlocked the Secret Area
If you've gone past the Wandering Wight and rung all three bells to teleport to the Secret Area in Chapter 1, he will disappear and you won't be able to get his Spirit. If this happens, you will need to either start a new save or wait until you get to New Game+ to get the Spirit.

However, the skill only lasts briefly, and it's even shorter if the spirit hasn't been fully cultivated yet.
