Why does it says "Provides the Sacred affinity, which adds Holy Damage and Faith scaling, decreases physical damage, most damage negation."?
Then below there's something else. Now... I'm confused.

This thing is dumb. It's tempting to call it the single best Ash in the game, not because of its actual effectiveness but because there is so little reason not to run it on every single build you make. More damage dealt, less damage taken, for your and all Spirits/co-op buddies, for functionally zero downside. Only reason you'd ever *not* run it is on a Faith Build that has Spell version, but even then this is useful early game and has the courtesy of providing your Faith build with an early Sacred infusion.

Dunno if this came with patch 1.09.1 but my catch flame does 0 dmg after I use Golden vow ash of war. For context, made a fresh prophet (currently lvl 12), ran around picking stuff up, planned on using golden vow to speed up some fights. However, noticed that after I used Golden vow I couldn't deal dmg with Catch flame.

it seems like this has a similar problem to the jellyfish shield as at the moment if you use it, it causes frenzy spells to do absolutely no damage(haven't tested anything else), spell works fine tho

Wish you could get this animation as an emote, just without the aura kinda like when you have no fp.

This buff nullifes the spearcall ritual weapon art on the death ritual spear. I thought it was because it was a holy spell cancelling out a death spell since death-themed enemies are weak to holy but I'm seeing other people saying the same thing about other weapon arts. Weird.

this page has become useless. no info about buff duration/percentage/fp cost.....

I defeated the knight and the ash dropped. But after the battle it is not in my inventory. Killing the knight once more does not work, he drops it only once. Is this a bug? Anyone encountered this too?
- Anonymous
Does not work with Old Lord's Talisman, still 45 seconds after testing.
Interesting interaction as of today (patch 1.0.7). This buff causes Storm Blade to do 0 dmg. This does not occur of Beast's Roar. Very interesting.

So, by what percent does it increase attack power, for how long?
- Anonymous
Yes it's 2.5% damage buff on pvp, but it's quite literally a no commitment, no requirement buff that anyone can have regardless of build, making it always worth it on non-faith builds since you can put it on an off-hand dagger and reap the rewards.

Kinda pointless for a faith build since the spell version is superior to this one, but a pretty useful buff otherwise.

So I just fought the mounted knight who drops the ash just now on patch 1.05 PS4, on a NG character, and the knight opened the fight with Golden Vow, hit me once, and then used Howl of Shabriri while riding his horse? Is that... normal? I have the clip of it, if somebody wants me to upload it.

Gives +7.5% damage/+5% damage negation in PvP. Buff duration is increased by 30% with Old Lord’s talisman.

Is this page correct? It mentions nothing about the buffs that would be expected...

This seems to be able to buff regular npc enemies when invading. At least it gives them the glowing particle effect, but i haven't been able to test whether it actually makes them stronger.

Seems to be bugged currently with some skills. No damage hit boxes for Death Ritual Spear or Wing of Astel skills with this buff on.

This Ash of War seems underrated. On a socerer or Int spellsword build, equip Golden Vow on any lightweight dagger. Before a boss fight, use Cerulean Hidden Tear, buff yourself with the dagger (along with any other buffs or Terra Magica), and then switch to your main right hand weapon. A free buff for 45 seconds.

I almost beat the game before realizing that this was also an ash of war and not just an incantation lmao. Finally found the lance too
The knight is somewhat near a bunch of flame slugs on a horse staring off into the distance on the edge of a cliff. The art of war isn't as powerful as the incantation oddly enough. Duration is shorter and effect goes from 10% damage increase on ashe to 15% on incantation. I assume the defense buff is similarly 5% lower.
Neither are affected by the faith Stat but the ashe doesn't require faith to be a certain level to cast so that is a plus.

the ash of war version seems to buff spell/incant damage by about 11.66%.
tested multiple attacks -
front-facing Rock Sling unbuffed = 360dmg
front-facing Rock Sling w/ Golden Vow = 402dmg
using this and electrify arnament together makes for a cool effect on your weapon

The knight you're looking for actaully in the top of clliff near camp.

Easiest way to find that wandering knight is to travel to the Warmaster's Shack and run towards the cliffside directly above Deathtouched Catacombs.

Use it on a very light weapon such as dagger, use the skill then switch to your main weapon/weapons.

No, it is also an ash if war. I have it and am looking at it now

I put the GOLDEN VOW to a wrong sword. This mob drop more times that?
It's at the edge of the cliff. You need to go on top. The coordinates are a bit off. It should be around (-175.9375, 104.54688)

This costs 40 FP to cast, lasts about 45 seconds, and increases damage by about 10% based on some quick testing.

the marker on the map is slightly off, this drops off a mounted non-boss knight slightly north east of where the marker is on the edge of that cliff.

For anyone having trouble finding him, he is not in the camp. He is in the high cliff above near the edge. You have to go around through the forest and uphill

the map is wrong, teleport to warmasters shack, take the road north till you cross under the giant highway and see the collisium in front of you then take a right and follow the right edge of the giant highway east till the part where it is collapsed and take another right over the rubble south-southeast and you should see a ruin ahead of you with a cliff edge to the east, head between the ruin and the cliff edge and you will see the knight ahead of you time of day is unimportant (he's pretty much directly left of the deathtouched catacombs marker on the map on the cliff above)

The map is wrong, he is on top of the hill above that fat road area, near the big building.

I think the video mentions you have to go there at night, as that's when the Knight spawns

why would you use the spell version instead of this? saves on putting points into faith by using the aow instead. doesn't seem like the spell is any different or better. Only down side is it adds weight to have this on a dagger and carry it with your main weapon.
