The Carian Sovereignty Ash of War is a weaker version of the same weapon skill that Rellana, Twin Moon Knight, uses during her boss fight, where she conjures a magical great sword and then unleashes a downward slash, followed by a full circular sweep. If you’re using an INT build, this Ash of War is a must-have and could make all your battles a lot easier.

How To Find Carian Sovereignty

The Ash of War: Carian Sovereignty can be found in a cave towards the west of the Cathedral of Manus Metyr. To get to this cave, you’ll have to start from the Church District Highroad Site of Grace and head west.

Keep going west until you come across a path leading south right alongside the cliff. You’ll encounter a lot of wolves along the way, but you won’t have to worry about them if you are on horseback.

Once you’re inside the cave, you’ll find a Scarab sticking to the cave’s ceiling. Killing the Scarab will reward you with the Carian Sovereignty Ash of War.

If you fail to kill the Scarab and it manages to disappear, you’ll have to rest at the Site of Grace and then try again.

If you haven’t unlocked the Church District Highroad Site of Grace or the entire northeast area of Scadu Altus, you’ll have to head to the Moorth Ruins and drop down the hole from there. Once you’ve dropped down the hole, you’ll have to progress a little, and then you will resurface at Bonny Village. From there, you can access the northeast area of Scadu Altus easily.

How To Use The Carian Sovereignty Ash Of War

The Carian Sovereignty Ash of War can be applied to any type of sword, including daggers, katanas, and twinblades, but cannot be applied to colossal weapons. The Ash of War allows several types of infusions, but it is recommended to go for the magic infusion to get the maximum damage output from the weapon skill.

The Ash of War can be charged, which also increases the damage to the follow-up sweep. To do the follow-up attack, you’ll have to press the weapon skill button again after your character has unleashed the initial attack.

You can further boost the damage output of the weapon skill by using Alexandar’s Shard, Godfrey Icon, and any other Talisman that boosts Magic Damage, such as the Magic Scorpion Charm Talisman.
