Elden Ring

All Ashes of War in Limgrave

By
Claire Farnworth

Limgrave has a plentiful supply of unique Ashes of War to discover and this page serves to show you how to find all of them in the Limgrave region of Elden Ring.

Ashes of War are used to enhance weapons and other equipment with powerful special attacks. Limgrave itself has over 20 to collect, many of which are found in the field or from defeating enemies and bosses. They are always in the same location so you can target the ones that suit your build first.
