List of Contents
All DLC Ashes of War and Skills
To use Ashes of War / weapon skills, you have to two-hand your weapon and press the L2 button to activate the skill. Depending on the skill, you can unleash additional attacks by pressing the R1/R2/L2 buttons after the initial attack.
If your left hand is empty, you may be able to activate the skill in your right hand without having to go to two-handed mode.
Equip a shield with the Parry skill attached to your left hand and press L2 to repel enemy melee attacks. If your parry is successful, you can stagger your enemies, giving you a chance to strike a fatal blow.
How to Parry and Perform Critical Strikes
Ashes of War are items that allow you to equip a Weapon Skill onto your armament like Weapons or Shields. These can be obtained via pick-up in the overworld, commonly through Scarab drops but it can also be bought from NPCs or sometimes looted from chests.
Every weapon in Elden Ring has a Skill, but different Ashes of War can be equipped to non-unique weapons via Whetblades.
Weapons using regular uncolored Ashes of War such as Vacuum Slice have the most available affinities you can choose from. This means you can choose from any of the neutral affinities like Heavy to special types like Blood.
Choosing Ashes of War with already an inherent element or status such as Carain Greatsword are often limited to the specific affinities of their own (such as Fire or Flame Art if it physically applies fire) and default affinities such as Quality.
Using Weapons Skills will cost you FP and will decrease your FP gauge. Once the FP gauge reaches 0, you will not be able to use your weapon skills again.
If you want to increase the number of times you can use your skills, you need to commit a lot of points to your FP attribute or you can bring more than one Flask of Cerulean Tears to keep you filled with FP.
