Summary
AnElden Ringplayer has discovered a handy use case for the Stormcaller Ashes of War, which allows them to completely deflect attacks from the Fallingstar Beast, one of the most frustrating enemies in the game. What’s even more impressive is that this trick works for other enemies too, and manyElden Ringplayers are seemingly unaware of it.
It’s been a while sinceElden Ringwas released, and fans are still finding new mechanics in the game. For instance, one player recently found a tricky andoverpowered use for Spritestones inElden Ring, an item that many considered practically useless in the game. Now oneElden Ringfan has come up with a unique strategy to counter a potent boss attack in the game.
In a new post on theElden Ringsubreddit, user -This-cant-be-real- highlights an interesting trick that a lot of players might be unaware of. Apparently, if players use theAsh of War: Stormcallerwhen the Fallingstar Beast uses its charged attack, the player can deflect it without incurring any damage whatsoever. Additionally, the player also deals some damage to theFallingstar Beast inElden Ring, which is the icing on the cake.
How to Get The Stormcaller Ash of War in Elden Ring
The Stormcaller is one of the firstAshes of War players can get inElden Ring, and is something that is quite useful even in later stages of the game. To get it, players can use the lift near the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace and make their way towards the courtyard. Right before the Secluded Cell Site of Grace, they will find a Teardrop Scarab. Upon defeating it, they can get the Stormcaller Ash of War, which can then be applied to a wide range of weapons.
Over on Reddit, fans are amazed by the fact that they didn’t know about this trick despite playing the game for over two years, and it still seems like there is more to discover. Some have highlighted how this is a more viable strategy than usingAsh of War: Unsheatheto counter the charged attacks, which requires pinpoint accuracy to pull off. Furthermore, the Unsheathe strategy is only viable when players use a long weapon like theNagakiba inElden Ring, as it increases the margin for error. Additionally, fans noted that the Stormcaller ability has been one of the most underrated in the game since it can stun lock a lot of enemies, but players don’t use it as much as it is found early on and often gets replaced by late-game Ashes of War.
