In Elden Ring, Ashes of War are special items that can be applied to armaments to give them unique skills, enhancing their effectiveness in combat. With the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the game now has 100+ Ashes of War, giving you a slew of interesting combat customization options.

One of the coolest Ashes of War in Shadow of the Erdtree is the Carian Sovereignty Ash of War, which is a miniature version of the weapon art used by Rellana, Twin Moon Knight. Moreover, acquiring the Ash of War isn’t too difficult either, and here’s how you get it.

Where To Find The Carian Sovereignty Ash Of War In Shadow Of The Erdtree

Elden Ring - Shadow Of The Erdtree - Carian Sovereignty Ash of War Location

The best place to start your hunt for the Carian Sovereignty is the Cathedral of Manus Metyr, which can be reached from the underground tunnel in the Moorth Ruins, and followed by crossing the two hanging bridges in Bonny Village.

Exit the Catherdral of Manus Metyr, and head a short distance to the north, and then turn northwest to descend the rocky slopes.

Now, continue riding all the way south, and past the pack of wolves, until you reach the edge of the cliff. Now, look to your southwest to find a small cave.

The cave is not deep, and its only purpose is to hide the Ash of War. Upon entering the cave, look for a flying Teardrop Scarab towards the cave's ceiling.

Use a ranged weapon or a skill to strike down the scarab, and kill it to acquire the Ash of War: Carian Sovereignty .
