How to use Ashes of War in Elden Ring

How to unlock Ashes of War / FromSoftware

To unlock Ashes of War, you’ll need to find the first one, which is nearby the Gatefront Site of Grave, in the cellar there. Once you’ve found one of these abilities, using them isn’t quite as simple as it seems. You can equip them to your weapons easily enough, but be careful, as only one can be used at a time.

For example, this means that if you’re holding a shield and a one-handed weapon – both of which have Ashes attached – only the shield's ability will activate, leaving your weapon’s ashes unusable unless you unequip those on your shield.

It’s also possible to find Lost Ashes of War around the place, which you can use to duplicate any of the ashes in your possession.
