This guide shows all Elden Ring Ashes of War Locations. The Ashes of War are skills you can equip to certain weapons. These are mainly of interest when playing a melee-based character. Some weapons already come pre-equipped with a skill. To equip these you will first need the Whetstone Knife found at Limegrave – Gatefront Ruins.
Also see How to Unlock & Equip Ashes of War (Weapon Skills).
This guide focuses specifically on the Ashes of War, which are the weapon skills. Do not confuse this with Ashen Remains, which are the spirits you can summon to aid you in boss fights! For Ashen Remains, refer to Elden Ring All Ashen Remains Locations.
