Elden Ring is a massive game with a lot of items that aid players with their journey across The Lands Between. One such item is called Ash of War which can be applied to weapons to grant them unique weapon skills. These skills sometimes are the only difference between a victory or imminent death. One such Ash of War, which plays both offensive and defensive roles, is Storm Stomp.
Storm Stomp is an AOE Ash of War that can be obtained earlier in the game from Limgrave. It allows players to stomp on the ground creating a large AOE storm that surrounds them for 1 second. This attack also pushes the enemies away and protects players from serious damage. Like many Ashes of War, Storm Stomp can be picked up and used to make your attacks deadlier in Elden Ring. In this guide, we’ll explain how to use Storm Stomp in Elden Ring and how to unlock it as well.
Elden Ring Ash of War Storm Stomp Location
Using Ashes of War is one of the many ways to upgrade your weapon and make it more capable. Ashes of War are enchantments that you can add to your weapon, and it then allows you to play around with the weapon stats and assign it new skills.
Storm Stomp can be found in a treasure chest present in the middle of Limgrave. From the Gatefront Site of Grace, travel Southeast to find Gatefront Ruins. This area is swarmed with Northern mercenaries so be very vigilant.
After taking down all the enemies, you need to look for a staircase leading you down into a cellar when you’re at the site. A gate will block the door to the cellar, but the gate can easily be opened since it isn’t locked.
When you’re inside the room, you’ll find a chest in front of you. The chest contains Storm Stomp along with some other rewards which include Whetstone Knife key item among them.
Obtaining the Storm Stomp grants us the ability to hold out the balance between Strength and Dexterity. Additional to this, it also decreases the base damage which seems to be crucial at times. This effect can be used on most weapons.
How to Use Storm Stomp in Elden Ring
Each Ash of War needs to bind with a weapon before you can use it. This can be done at any Site of Grace. Once at the site, select Storm Stomp Ash of War and bind it to the weapon of your choice. Storm Stomp ash can be applied to any melee weapons in Elden Ring. Storm Stomp costs 6 FP and deals a lot of stance damage to enemies.
