Elden Ring, an action-packed video game created by FromSoftware, is set in a nightmarish world where players encounter lots of bosses, invaders, and other deadly creatures. The game is known for its intense battles, and in some cases, regular weapons may let players down. That’s where Ashes of War come in handy. These items grant unique skills and powers to weapons in Elden Ring, making them more powerful.

Ash of War: Sacred Blade is a must-have for players looking for a decent Ash of War to enhance their weapons. Not only does it add the Sacred Blade skill to weapons, but also offers damage negation. This guide will walk players through the process of obtaining the Ash of War: Sacred Blade in Elden Ring.

How to Acquire Ash of War: Sacred Blade in Elden Ring

Players can obtain the Sacred Blade Ash of War by traveling to the Church of Marika. As players have to go around various locations before getting to the destination, they should seek help from the Torrent and save their time.

From the starting point, proceed to the main road and travel North. As soon as there is a fork, get to the Site of Grace near Gatefront Ruins. Players should proceed by choosing the eastern road, continue until they reach the bridge's top, and then cross it to encounter another road fork.

Players will see Waypoint Ruins on the right side, and to the left is the direct path to the Third Church of Marika. The latter is where players need to reach to obtain Ash of War: Sacred Blade, so take the left road and travel in Northeast direction.

After getting to the church, players can pick the Flask of Wondrous Physik. Once done, go in the North direction from the church and travel to reach the hill located next to the Spiritspring. At the hill’s summit, Teardrop Scarab would be waiting for players. That's where they will get the Sacred Blade Ash of War, but only after killing Teardrop Scarab.

Before any weapon is equipped with Ash of War: Sacred Blade, players need to ensure that the very weapon is suitable for the Ash of War. As always, players will also need to obtain a suitable Whetstone for this Ash of War. From daggers to Greatswords and Straight Swords to Katanas, players can apply Ash of War: Sacred Blade to a wide range of weapons.
