Ash of War: Assassin's Gambit | Elden Ring Wiki

This stacks with the invisible body spell for near total invisibility and can run past most mobs.

Volcano Manor tries to be the Dark Brotherhood from Skyrim except it's literally just "go here and fight a 1v1".

This AOW is not working for me from what i have tested, wont make you invisible silent or reduce locking range, is anyone having the same results.

Submit

Apparently, this AOW doesn't work with Crepus's Vial equipped. While it is true that this AOW silences movement, it only does so for a time, and I would like to have silent movement even after the effect wears off without having to micromanage my inventory.

Submit

I don't even understand why does this ash of war have a self-harm cost attached to it. There's nothing tying these two things together and in fact defeats the purpose when used against players who can pay attention to your health bar from the self harm. It just doesn't make sense in any scenario as far as I'm concern. While small, it still costs FP to use. Just increase the FP cost and remove the self harm.

Submit

This could have been the best tool in the game if it wasnt a fing AOW. Soft cotton is a thing but still not Gachin's spiritfall from Sekiro.

Submit

Tell me what it does bruh

Submit

Literally just make it so that in pvp people don't see your health go down from using it and this could be such a fun Ash of War. Maybe also make it so the host doesn't appear on the invaders compasses while it is active, or even have it linger for a while so they can't pinpoint you when you use it or when you activate it next.

Submit

Purchased this but it does not show up in my inventory anywhere. Some kind of glitch?

Submit

Okay so idk if it is considered an exploit in the same way that Fire's Deadly Sin + Bloodflame is, but if you use this skill and then cast "Unseen Form", players cannot lock onto you for 30s (45s if you use Old Lord's Talisman). This is especially useful against ranged spammers, be it bows, sorceries, incantations. Without target lock, homing spells are useless (unless their homing is based on proximity, instead of lock-on), and for regular things like arrows or lightning, freeaiming can be very difficult. Now, keep in mind, this *WILL NOT* remove target lock if you use this skill & spell while someone is already locked onto you, so this is best used before a fight, or if you have ran away and are out of lock-on range/hidding behind a corner or something similar. Also, aside from the target locking, the silent footsteps from this skill combined with the visibility of Unseen Form can allow you to easily sneak up on unsuspecting hosts and cooperators in Invasions. However, be aware, for I have read a lot about Crepus' Vial & Black Knife Armour messing with the visual effects of Unseen Form, and while I haven't personally tested this myself, I would recommend testing with a friend beforehand, instead of running the risk of getting unintentionally caught while sneaking around.

Unseen Form and the best friend of this Ash War: USE BOTH TOGETHER IN PVP!!!

Submit

Addendum to previous comment: you need to combine this with Unseen Form, and you can no longer be locked on to

Submit

Does this keep you from locking onto an opponent in PVP now?? I just faced someone using it and I wasn't able to anymore. Had to free aim the whole match. Really cool build!

Submit

Ah yes, the "I don't have time for this bullshit section" ash of war.

Submit

Since this damages you, does that mean people in PVP can see where your position is because of this Skill?

Submit

It saved me on the way to the halightree. That big white bubble thrower could not see me

Submit

In pvp it doesn't seem to be working? I might just be stupid but people seem to know exactly where i am despite the distance

Submit

In PvP, would the health loss show your healthbar to hosts, and reveal your location?

Submit

Comments are saying this makes you invisible in PvP once you're ~10 meters away, but from my experience invading it's clear the host can still see me from miles away. I'm not sure what's going on.

Submit

Backstabbing with this on a weapon yields +20% more runes. Not sure about other crits. Tested on albinaurics at the start of mogwyn's they went from dropping 2k to 2.4k runes

Submit

If you haven't tried using this in the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, you should. Thank me later.

Submit

For some strange reason the 1.03 patch on the visual effect of unseen form spell doesn't apply for this one, which makes the spell version appears to be more transparent. And I didn't know if it is introduced by the 1.03 patch but Crepus's Vial cancels the invisible effect of both this AOW and the spell.

Submit

Loving this WA, just put it on a light dagger or something that you have in one of your right hand slots and you can get a lot out of fun from this when clearing areas that are above your power level. You can also use this to get past the ballistas in stormveil castle (they will shoot you at some point, but you can rush through). It's not Sekiro but I love how they added stealth to the formula of this game.

Submit

So twin blades are considered "medium" swords and can use this but greatswords/great curved swords and anything bigger can't.

Submit

Been using this for quite sometime. It works against many weaker enemies, which allows you to walk pass them as long as you're not too close. However, the more I used it the more I realized how broken the stealth mechanic is. There are way too much scripted aggros through out the game, which completely ignores how well hidden you are. And No, I'm not talking about field bosses. I am talking about some well-placed regular enemies with bad eye-sight who can somehow sense you under this effect. Don't even get me started with the ghostly duel-wielding knight in Castle Sol.

Submit

tested this with a few friends, this is basically the way to make it so you have the effects from ds3’s fog ring, makes it great for stealthing in invasions, and for setting up grace mimic ambushes from far away before a host comes in and presents their back for a backstab.

Submit

I put this on my miscericorde, heavy 50 str and can sneak up in ganks. I get caught sometimes so it’s not true invisibility but it’s close. Can one shot hosts if they’re standing still for a backstab

Submit

I see many idiotic people who mistaken hiding ones presence with "invisibility"

Submit

Does this make it harder for players to lock-on to you in pvp? If so, it could be a decent counter against mages.

Submit

Many bosses will ignore you if used before entering their fog gate. They'll still see you if you get to close or attack, but it can give you a few seconds to use spirit summons or make other preparations. Also despite the description, it can be used on daggers.

Submit

Probably one of the best weapon arts in the game. Works in pvp and pve.

Submit

So this can't be used on daggers or claws, weapons generally associated with assassins.
And yet bloodhounds step, a unique assassin like ninja dash can be used on any weapon?

Daggers and claws kinda got shafted in this game when it comes to skills/ashes of war.

Submit

does this work in pvp?

Submit

any video on how it works in pve/pvp? couldnt find one so far

Submit

Lasts 30 seconds

Submit

Can it be used on flails

Submit

Works very well against AI. Can run past them at a good distance without drawing argo.

Submit

So this combines Hush and Hidden Body from DS3, has no stat requirement, costs very little FP and HP and lasts more

Submit

doesn't really seem to do much can't even tell if its working

Submit

For those of you that may have killed the boss of the area before acquiring the ashes of war that Bernahl sells, once you complete the dialogue with tanith, leave, and come back, a sword will be where Bernahl was sitting. You can interact with this sword to purchase the ashes of war

Submit

when using it, it barely does anything but mask movement sounds. said it'd mask visibility, any changes i'm not seeing from another player's perspective?

Submit

Ahh, why do we have like seven items that mask footsteps yet have none that make the backstabs silent...

Submit

Purchased from Recusant Bernahl in Volcano Manor after killing the first target in the Volcano Manor quest line.

Submit

Volcano Manor vendor sells it after you complete a task for them

Submit

Where do you even find this?

Submit

An NPC sells it once you've joined the covenant at Volcano Manor

Submit

where do u find this

Submit

Can't wait till someone knows where to find this

Submit

A bit odd you can't use this on daggers.
