The Double Slash Ash of War is one of the most versatile and efficient weapon skills available in Elden Ring. It allows players to execute swift, multi-hit sword combos that can quickly overwhelm opponents and inflict status conditions. Locating this valuable Ash of War requires exploring Caelid and navigating high rooftops.

Where to Find Double Slash in Elden Ring

Players can acquire the Double Slash Ash of War in Sellia, Town of Sorcery, located in the Caelid region. To reach it, travel through the town's elevated structures and jump across the rooftops near the southwestern section. The item is dropped by a Teardrop Scarab resting high above on a massive tree root.

Reaching the scarab directly can be tricky due to nearby enemies and narrow footing. Using a bow or ranged attack from a adjacent roof is often the safest method to eliminate the scarab before it teleports away. Once defeated, it instantly drops the Ash of War into your inventory.

Understanding the Double Slash Skill Mechanics

When activated, Double Slash performs an initial crossing strike from a low stance. Pressing the skill button again triggers a follow-up spin with three additional slashes, while a third input finishes the combo with a powerful overhead slam. This fluid string of attacks makes it ideal for aggressive melee playstyles.

By default, applying this Ash of War grants the Keen affinity, which boosts Dexterity scaling on compatible armaments. It can be equipped on a wide variety of slashing weapons, including katanas, straight swords, greatswords, and halberds.

Resource Costs and Combat Tips

Double Slash is remarkably light on Focus Points, making it highly spammable in sustained encounters. The initial activation costs 6 FP, while each subsequent follow-up input requires only 3 FP, bringing the full combo cost to just 12 FP. This low consumption rate allows players to preserve their FP for spells or other utility abilities.

Because the skill hits multiple times in rapid succession, it works exceptionally well when paired with status-building armaments or weapon buff greases. Using weapons with inherent Bleed or Frost buildup can quickly trigger status effects on bosses and tough enemies. Combining this skill with passive buffs makes it a favorite choice for many dexterous builds across the Lands Between.
