Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree introduced several new ways to fight your enemies. Many new weapons have unique weapon abilities that can turn the tide of battle in your favor.
How to Get Swift Slash Ash of War ► Elden Ring DLC
One of these weapon skills comes in the form of the Ash of War: Swift Slash, a powerful punching skill. Here's how to get it.
Swift Slash is a new Ash of War introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree. This skill unleashes a chargeable thrust attack followed by a deadly vacuum blast that rips the enemies it hits apart. Obtaining this particular Ash of War can be quite tricky, as you're halfway through a sidequest with Needle Knight Leda and the Hornsent in Elden Ring.
The quest itself is a long one and starts at the very beginning of the Realm of Shadow, in the Gravesite Plain area. Go to the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace where you will meet Needle Knight Leda and the Hornsent. Talk to Leda and she will tell you to talk to the Hornsent, which will eventually give you the first map of Miquella's Crosses.
