Dumb question: If I put an ash of war on my Claymore and later remove it, will the Claymore just go back to Lion's Claw?

Yes. It won't consume the ash either if you're worried about that. They're like accessories for weapons, not consumables.

Thanks, that's good to know on both counts (seeing an ash duplication mechanic made me paranoid). I like Lion's Claw a lot so I was scared of losing it but wanted to experiment with other stuff

Nepheli quest: Has anyone found a way to progress this quest after giving her the hawk ashes? She's just chillin down by the stairs even when you go back right before you fight final boss. Makes me think there's more to do for her.

I don't know what the like Cosmic reason for the omens is, or what they represent.


Omen speculation given that Morgott and Mogh seem to be children of Godfrey and Marika, I wonder if there’s some causal relationship there between Godfrey losing the grace of gold and the Omen curse. Could also be related to the crucible or the ancestral followers since both of those things seem to be horn related

So regular weapons go like +15 and up right? I've been using the wolf sword for the entire game and it's at +9. Does a regular weapon that goes higher end up outperforming the somber stone weapons?

regular weapons go up to 25, with 1-24 being infinitely farmable upgrades and 25 the capstone. somber is 1-9 and capstone 10

There are some datamined voice lines for subsequent parts of her quest but no one knows how/if they can be triggered. Considering how long the population has had to work on it at this point I’m leaning toward it being bugged or cut content

I still don't really get quests in this game, because I'm usually playing in some stage of inebriation, but I'm fine with that. I can never remember who was where or what they told me to do. I figure these things will just work themselves out in time. Oh, there is one exception, I did finish the quest where the blind lady by the road tasks you with taking a note to her father, having some problems with unruly staff in the castle down the road. Did so, Dad's all, tell my girl I said hi. So I go back and she's just laying there and the text is all She's Dead (hit OK) and for some reason I thought that was really funny.

Though I guess people found an alternate way for boc's quest to continue in the last day or two so who knows, maybe it really is something insanely obscure

Everyone complaining about Godskin Duo clearly never messed around with sleep pots/sleep in general. Two pots puts the big guy to sleep and then it's a matter of managing who is asleep and who isn't (and making sure your spirit ash doesn't gently caress that up). It turned a clusterfuck into an actually fun fight.

You inspired me to try my own variation using some different weapons.

Namely these two daggers:

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Reduvia

https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Scorpion%27s+Stinger

You don't get to shove any ashes of war on either one since they're somber weapons, which also means no Blood Slash, but dual wield dagger moveset is super quick so you can build up the ailments very fast. Reduvia has it's own unique Ash of War in a mid range blood projectile that can also build up bleed and does good damage itself. It's also one of the Arcane scaling weapons that isn't broken right now!

Haven't gotten to test this out on a boss or such yet but it's fun and is giving me something a little different to roll with besides Hoarfrost Stomping everything for easy victory.

Reduvia plus a 100% phys shield makes margit and godrick fairly easy for people getting started

Comparable. Although also a lot of what makes a weapon good or bad is its internal scaling with is both weapon-specific and incredibly obscure, the E-S rating system tells you almost nothing lol.

The waypoint teleporter to access Moghwyn Palace is deactivated for me, and doing Varre's questline isn't an option because I murdered his rear end. How do I activate the teleporter? (Please don't tell me it's by killing the invading Sanguine Noble who two shots me...)

Are you just supposed to throw ashes of war on a random rear end weapon and then whip that out to use them? Nothing I'm using can be infused with them and it doesn't look like any of the "special" weapons can take them.

There different ashes for different types of weapons, some ashes only go on spears, some go on everything except axes and hammers, and so on. You're either using weapons that can't use them or you don't have the right ashes.

You use them because you either want the special move, or the stat scaling they change (so if you change a sword that had only had an STR of "D" to STR "B", + it adds DEX "C" or something, it will start doing more and more damage as you level those up which can make weapons a lot stronger.
