Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree’s Ash of War: Wing Stance

Like most folks, you probably saw Wing Stance used on the Milady in early gameplay footage of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree. Unfortunately, Milady doesn’t come bearing this exciting Ash of War—but that doesn’t mean you can’t find it pretty early in the game and apply it to the sword whenever you’d like.

Here’s what you need to know about the Ash of War: Wing Stance and where to find it.

Ash of War: Wing Stance stats and features

The Ash of War Wing Stance can be applied to Light Greatswords. When used, your character assumes a stance with the sword held outward. This can then be followed up with a light attack for a three-slash combo or a heavy attack for a leaping thrust, making it one of the flashiest and most satisfying abilities in the game.

Where to find the Ash of War: Wing Stance

You can find the Ash of War: Wing Stance within the Castle Ensis legacy dungeon. Continue through this dungeon following the main path until you reach the Castle Lord’s Site of Grace.

From the Site of Grace, face east to see a door leading out to a balcony. Walk out onto the balcony and jump off the left side onto the ground below. Use the nearby platforms on the side of the cliff to continue downward until you reach an area with a tall tower.

Enter the tower and climb your way to the top to find a chest. Inside the chest is Ash of War: Wing Stance. When you’re ready to apply it to one of your Light Greatswords, go to Roundtable Hold and speak with Blacksmith Master Hewg.
