Elden Ring offers a plethora of weapons with amazing movesets to keep the Soulsborne player inside you entertained all the time. If the slow movesets of heavy-strength weapons have started to bore you, then a switch to fast weapons like katanas or short swords might be the break you need. However, if you don’t want to change weapons, then choosing Ashes of War might be the way to go.

Unfortunately, Ashes of War are unique items that can only be obtained once per playthrough in Elden Ring. As some of these Ashes of War are too cool to be kept on just one weapon, players can use a rare item called Lost Ashes of War to duplicate and make copies of them. This way, you can have multiple copies of the same Ash of War without going to New Game+.
