Ashes of War
In Elder Ring, you can change the skill of your weapons by using the Ashes of War ability. You can equip the Ashes of War with your weapons by pressing the Ash of War button. There are some Ashes that can only be used with specific weapons, while others can be obtained only by killing bosses or gathering Teardrop Scarabs. The Whetstone Knife is essential for applying the Ashes of War.
Ashes of War are used for offensive skills and defensive skills. They can also be used to buff yourself in various situations. In Elder Ring, you can use the Godskin Duo Ashes of War to decimate enemies in your path. This weapon can spread black flames around you and surround enemies. Ashes of War also have a hitbox so you can see the damage that you deal with the weapon.
You can also duplicate the Ashes of War by using the Site of Grace. If you have an Ash of War, you can ask the Smithing Master Hewg to duplicate it for you. If you have more than one, you can equip them with a single Ashes of War to kill bosses in a single shot. The Whetstone Knife is required to apply Ashes of War.
Hoarfrost Stomp
If you’ve been playing Elden Ring for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed that the game’s most powerful AoE weapon is the Hoarfrost Stomp. This ability lets you unleash waves of ice that damage enemies on impact. It’s an excellent option for stun-and-death combos and can even damage enemies through walls and pillars. And when used with Mimic Spirit, it can even defeat juggernauts! While Elden Ring’s Hoarfrost Stomp has recently received a nerf, it’s still one of the most powerful Ashes of War skills available.
Regardless of the difficulty of the challenge, the Sword of Night and Flame is an excellent choice, and is also very easy to find in the area. You can also check out this Its Shatter video to see exactly where to find the location of the Hoarfrost Stomp. Just make sure to have a good weapon equipped before you attempt this difficult area. You’ll also want to have an effective pet.
Besides the low FP cost, the skill is also useful when dealing damage to groups of enemies. Hoarfrost Stomp is especially effective when used with Blood Loss, since it increases the amount of damage you take by 20%. However, it’s important to note that this skill only works when you have a weapon with high raw AR, so make sure to choose one that has the best TOTAL AR before using it. While it’s not ideal for solo play, it’s worth considering if you have a high level of Intelligence to complement the ability.
Using a shield
Using a shield when using Storm Stomp is a good idea, and one of the best ways to avoid getting hit is to equip a Whetstone knife while using the skill. The Whetstone Knife can be found at the Gatefront Ruins, southwest of Limgrave. This skill is only available on weapon types that are compatible with this skill. To equip it, you must first have an ash-type weapon equipped. Press L2 while holding the weapon you want to use Storm Stomp on. This ability is only effective if the weapon is in two-handed mode.
Using a shield when using Storm Stomp is also a good idea if you’re unsure about how to use this skill. The weapon must be equipped with a Whetstone knife and a weapon that can use Storm Stomp. This can be done by pressing L2 on PlayStation or LT on Xbox. On PC, Shift is needed. After equipping the weapon, head towards the stairs and click on the chest containing the Whetstone knife. There, you can also find the Storm Stomp skill.
You can also use the Barricade Shield to protect yourself from enemy attacks. Barricade Shield has a high chance of blocking multiple attacks. Unlike the other Ashes of War, it lasts for a short period of time, which makes it the perfect option for when you’re facing several enemies at a time. When you use this skill, you’ll be able to block even the most powerful attacks.
