Alternatively, if you have unlocked the site of grace in Bellum Church, you may head straight south from there to find the Night’s Cavalry boss.
Defeat the Night’s Cavalry boss to obtain Ash of War: Giant Hunt and 5,600 runes. If you are having trouble against the Night’s Cavalry, you’re able to use long-range Glintstone spells or cast theRotten BreathorEkzykes’s Decay incantationto inflict the enemy with Scarlet Rot, which will slowly sap its HP. Players confident in their melee skills can use piercing weapons like spears and thrusting swords against the Night’s Cavalry, as it is weak to pierce damage.
Is Giant Hunt good and which weapons can use it in Elden Ring?
Ash of War: Giant Hunt is one of the strongest weapon skills inElden Ring. Whether you are in a PVE or PVP fight, Giant Hunt can always deal a respectable amount of damage to your enemies. The Giant Hunt skill can be applied to the following weapons inElden Ring, as long as they don’t have a unique Ash of War:
When applied to heavy weapons like Colossal Swords and Great Spears, Giant Hunt deals an impressive poise damage of 36, while lighter weapons like Spears and Twinblades deal only 30 poise damage. This much poise damage can knockback most enemies, and can break a large enemy’s stance in two or three hits.
By default, Giant Hunt applies Quality affinity to a weapon, providing equally split scaling in Strength andDexterity. Instead of Quality affinity, you can also choose other affinities as long as you have the necessarywhetblades.
