Overview
Ashes of War for Elden Ring are special items which enables you to replace the Weapon Skills and Affinities of your equipment with new ones. Players can apply Ashes of War to their Weapons and Shields to modify their affinities and grant them new Skills. This allows players to adapt each type of armament to their respective Build and playstyle. It is important to mention that Unique Weapons such as the Dragonscale Blade cannot be customized with Ashes of War, and not all Weapon Skills are compatible with every type of equipment. You may want to check Upgrades to learn more about upgrading and modifying your equipment.
How to use Ashes of War in Elden Ring?
Visit a Site of Grace and select the “Ashes of War” menu (this only becomes available after you have collected the Whetstone Knife). Once inside the menu, you can preview the effect of the Ash on your Weapon or Shield, and select to apply either the skill or the skill and the effect, which acts as an optional Prefix. By using Ashes of War, you can match the scaling of your equipment to your character’s Stats. Note that you can “unenchant” your Weapon or Shield at a Site of Grace by selecting the Ashes of War tab, and clicking on the Weapon or Shield and selecting “Unenchant” to remove the effects of an Ash of War and return the Weapon or Shield back to it’s original scaling and Skill.
Bows, Light Bows, Glintstone Staves and Sacred Seals cannot be infused with Ashes of War. Unique Weapons, such as the Dragonscale Blade, can’t be infused to modify neither their Skills nor Prefix.
You can find multiple copies of the same Ashes of War, so you can enchant several Weapons or Shields with the same Ashes of War, but otherwise you can only apply 1 Ash of War to 1 Weapon or Shield at a time. If you wish to reassign it to another Weapon or Shield, you’ll have to remove it first in the Ashes of War tab. Since it costs nothing to do this, it’s encouraged to experiment with many different Ashes of War to see what works best for your current Build and playstyle.
Unlike past From Software titles, you don’t need any sort of material to change the damage type or scaling of your Weapon or Shield, and instead you will use your Ashes of War. To increase your Damage and Scaling, you will need to upgrade your Weapon or Shield with either Smithing Stones or Somber Smithing Stones, and the exact effect of these Upgrade Materials will change based on the Ashes of War slotted. For example, they may improve Intelligence Scaling, or Strength Scaling, as well as base damage. This means that all you need to do is upgrade most Weapons down one “path”, and then swap around Ashes of War to see their effects.
Where To Find Ashes of War?
There are three ways you can get Ashes of War in Elden Ring and those are as drops from Enemies, purchased from NPCs and looted from corpses that are scattered around the game world. These are not random drops or placements, meaning if you know the locations of these Ashes of War, they will always be there in every playthrough you attempt. This allows you to head directly to the ones you know you like, and get your Build off the ground rather quickly. You can find the locations of each Ashes of War on their respective pages, along with other information you might find useful.
Duplicating Ashes of War
An Ash of War can only be equipped on a single Weapon or Shield at once, but it is possible to duplicate any of the Ashes of War you have in your inventory. To do so, you require to have an special item. Head to a blacksmith and you need to possess Lost Ashes of War. Handing this item over, will allow you to obtain a copy of the desired Ash of War.

Unfortunately, they are enemies that will fight you when they catch wind of your presence. When attacked by these birds, they will first fling a barrel of TNT at you. Make sure to dodge out of the way and then when the bird tries to strike you down with its razor-sharp claws, roll out of the way. Then, strike it three times to finish it off after it does a pouncing motion. They’re fairly easy to deal with, especially if you’re a higher level; you just have to avoid its first explosive attack. Once you’ve dealt with these high-flying beasts, turn left at a circular viewing point with two perpendicular bushes of grass facing towards you. If you jump onto the edge and look down, you can see a landing below. You’ll see it’s fairly far down, but you can remedy the fall with Soft Cotton. You can craft it with three Rowa Fruit and 1 Smoldering Butterfly. While used, it temporarily reduces fall damage, making it a great way to get to lower sections of a map. Once you’ve jumped from the ledge and made it to the lower section of the castle, try to find a small wooden bridge to the right side of the platform you’re on. Carefully jump over and follow the route and at the edge, once again fall to the next section of this area below where moss has grown. You’re almost there. Jump down two or three platforms below and then, the ground will break below you. Don’t worry as your fall is saved by the bushes below.

Strike it with your weapon and it will give you the Ash of War: Storm Assault you’re looking for. Guide by Gamepur. |
