The Ash of War confers Sacred affinity upon weapons and grants the ability known as the "Golden Parry."

Executing an Erdtree incantation, wield the shield to repel adversary strikes and disrupt their footing.

This technique proves efficacious even from a modest range and harmonizes with both small and medium-sized shields.

To acquire the ash of war, eliminate dung beetles positioned along the left railing.

Keep in mind that dung beetles vanish swiftly, thus employing long-range assaults ensures optimal efficiency.
