Elden Ring's extensive arsenal of weapons receives a further boost to its variety with different Ashes of War found throughout the Lands Between. Weapon skills, referred to by FromSoft as "Ashes of War," introduce a new feature that can be used to add powerful attacks to weapons. Almost all weapons come equipped with an Ash of War. While some are unique and irreplaceable, players can also obtain the Whetblade to apply Ashes of War to armaments.
