The sheer amount of armor sets, weapons, and other items added to the game with the launch of the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is immense. Ashes of War are a good way of making even normal weapons without any Weapon Skills viable. As most weapons have the option of having different Ashes of War, players are free to choose from the numerous available ones and pick one that stands out from the rest.
Ash of War: Flame Spear is also a new addition that not only has a cool animation but can also deal decent damage and apply the Flame Art buff to a weapon. For Elden Ring players looking to get the Flame Spear Ash of War and learn exactly what it does, this guide provides the necessary information.

Discover how to find the Demi-Human Swordsman Yosh Ashes in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree by defeating the challenging boss.
When you use this Ash of War, the user thrusts their weapon, which causes a flame spear to shoot straight. After the animation is over, your weapon will retain the Flame Art buff for around 30 to 40 seconds. The range on this Ash of War is surprisingly good, allowing you to snipe enemies from a distance in a mere second.
As the Flame Spear can also be charged, this allows you to equip the
Godfrey Icon, further increasing the total output damage of the skill. The Ash of War costs 19 FP, and a Faith and Dexterity-focused build would be a great choice for it.
Where To Find Ash Of War: Flame Spear In Elden Ring
To get Ash of War: Flame Spear in the Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you will need to make your way to the Storehouse First Floor Site of Grace in Shadow Keep, which can be accessed after defeating the Golden Hippopotamus. From the Grace, head left and then straight going towards the bookshelf. Take a right, avoid the surrounding enemies, and go up the staircase in the distance.
Take the first left after the staircase and then the second right to find a wooden staircase that you need to go up. Go up another staircase, which should be ahead of you, and you will be able to spot a Red Knight. You can ignore this enemy and head towards the bridge in the southwest direction, at the end of which there is a hanging statue. Jump up, climb the feet, and go across to the other side to reach a Site of Grace.
Go through the doorway ahead of the Site of Grace and head left past the Red Knight. After passing a few Giant Bats, you can head left and then right to follow the path and reach the staircase at the end. Do not climb the staircase all the way; instead, head right of it to reach a room with a lever at the end.
Interact with the lever and wait for the climbable bridge to come down and jump to go across it. You can go across the statue on the right side to reach a room with the Statue of Marika. Go through the doorway, head right, and go up the staircase to find a Red Knight on your left. Deal with this enemy to get the
Winged Serpent Helm and the Ash of War: Flame Spear.
