How to get Gravitas in Elden Ring

  • Looted from a Lesser Alabaster Lord that uses the Gravitas skill as one of its attacks when it fights. You can find the enemy roaming by the beach side at the stone arch that has a bonfire near the Seaside Ruins Site of Grace in south of Limgrave. From the site of grace, simply jump all the way to the beachside using your mount and defeat the enemy. [Elden Ring Map Link].
  • Default skill for the Meteoric Ore Blade

      Surprising ways that you use Gravitas is as you walk off of a platform, in front of a wall or if the target is standing above/beneath you.
      Bloodboon Ritual may share some properties too.

        Just wanted to give a slight correction, I found out during a recent invasion that the thrust of this weapon art CAN be parried, when an absolute gigachad of a host sprinted up to me point blank and slapped my s**t away when I tried to poise trade what I thought would be a running attack. I share my trauma and my shame now in order to begin the process of healing

          There is a Spirit Spring down to the beach farther along the strand if dropping to the series of ledges is too challenging.

            A little bit of testing I just did of Magic Vulgar Militia Shotel +16 vs Magic Cross Naginata +16 strongly suggests that this ash doesn't care about your weapon's int scaling, it just cares about your weapon's upgrade level, infusion (magic is best), and intelligence. Boosting strength or dex didn't affect damage but int definitely affects it. I don't have a third weapon (e.g. a random shitty straight sword) around to totally test my conclusions, so take this with a grain of salt, but the numbers were the same between these two weapons (despite different ARs and scalings) and responded to changes in Int but not changes in other stats.

              "As a gravity type attack, it will bring flying enemies to the ground when used - quite effective against the Sword-wielding birds of Stormvale Castle" Stormveil?

                Use this at point blank with bloodflame blade. Thank me later for the neverending stance breaks and bleed.

                  It knocks enemies down if you use it while they are jumping (at least for scaly misbegotten it does). It is fun to use it this way.

                    Using this on a dex build and damage is actually good and provides a roll catch opportunity. 8/10 would recommend for any non-mage build, but you need to use it intelligently. Don't just use it whenever someone is in range.

                      I counter this ash and other gravity nonsense by blocking then using a guard countering into the poor mages face. Intelligent use of this ash would be to have carina phalanx or the high poise dmg version up so you can combine these with an actual r1 or r2 and guarantee a poise break if your opponent attacks.

                        You can actually party the downward slam: somebody tried using it against me in melee range for some reason so I was just curious and hit L2.

                          Update the location info to include the spirit spring to the south of the site of grace. the drops off the cliff are outright fatal without perfectly timed double jumps to underneath the cliff at a higher platform

                            Anyone know what the damage of the skill scales with? Wish there was a way to see this for each Ash of War.

                              Can be combined with weapons that have status effect or DoT, for example if you weapon deals bleed/poison/scarlet/sleep, it'll apply it to your enemy even if they dodge it. Same goes for weapons that deal DoT(black fire weapons or the spell Black Flame Blade).

                                The Gravitas skill can hit enemies through walls and ceilings. Bodies sometimes do some weird clipping stuff when they die, but other than that it's an amazing skill.

                                  Anyone know how the damage is calculated? BTW— Freaking awesome for PVP. It pulls them in and makes them stumble, allowing you to slash them sometimes several times or charge up a strong attack for a roll catch. I have the natural version on the meteoric katana, and only perhaps if there were a weapon just as fast but longer range would there be a better weapon for it.
