The opportunity to deal multiple types of damage at once can be a decisive factor in some battles in Elden Ring, and Flaming Strike Ash Of War is a great way to add some fire to your sword. The player's weapon gets an AoE combo attack that deals additional fire damage. And it can be a good upgrade for dealing with enemies such as Wildlife Creatures.
It is one of the few Ash Of War that can buff already-infused weapons, and fortunately, it is relatively easy to find. Guarded by a small scarab,
Ash of War: Flaming Strike is waiting for you on the outskirts of the ancient castle, and we will guide you along the right path.

Where To Find Flaming Strike Ash Of War in Elden Ring
To find Flaming Strike Ash Of War in Elden Ring, travel to Caelid and visit Redmane Castle. More precisely, players must go around the palace to find a small cemetery on the cliff edge near the southern walls. Among the coffins and aggressive bats, you will notice a small Teardrop Scarab rolling a small ball and trying to run away once it notices you. You will receive the coveted Flaming Strike Ash Of War by killing this bug and destroying its ball.
It is pretty simple, but first, you'll have to get to
Redmane Castle, and you can do this in two ways, depending on your preference:
- With the help of the Radahn Festival.
- Come a long way.
If you want to get Flaming Strike as quickly as possible, you must run through all of Caelid before you reach Redmane Castle. Players also must cross a narrow bridge, constantly dodging the fiery projectiles of the catapults standing near the palace walls. Once you cross the bridge, turn right and walk along the walls along narrow rocks to the cemetery. Along the way, you will meet many more bats, which can be fatal.
If you're willing to wait a bit, rest at a Sites of Grace in Altus a few times. Wait for the Radahn Festival to start, and use the teleport to get straight to Redmane Castle. Using the teleporter inside the palace as your starting point, go down the steps. Walk towards the giant tree and enter the building to the left of it. After going up the steps to the second floor, exit through the open door into the courtyard. Finally, enter the door on the opposite side of the courtyard and go through the room to go straight to the cemetery. This path is much safer and will allow you to avoid many enemies.

How To Use Flaming Strike Ash Of War
Once you have Flaming Strike Ash Of War, you can use it on any melee weapons except Colossal Weapons and Whips. The cost of using this upgrade is only 14 FP, which is relatively cheap for the buffs you receive. After all, by equipping this modification to your weapon, you receive the following buffs:
- Using this Ash Of War, you set the sword on fire with your left hand and scatter the remaining fire in front of you, setting enemies on fire. This action costs 4 FP.
- A subsequent attack with a flaming sword costs 10 FP, after which you unleash a sweeping strike, hitting all enemies in front of you. But keep in mind that this attack can be parried.
- Your weapon begins to burn and deals an additional 90 Fire damage over 40 seconds.
