Elden Ring Rolling Sparks location - a character using rolling sparks to create a lightning explosion

TheElden Ring Rolling SparksAsh of War is one you’ll want to pick up if you’re planning on using one of the new Perfume Bottleweaponsin theShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion. It causes a chain of explosions in front of you, giving you a far higher damage output than the weapon alone could manage.

This Ash of War is so powerful that it may well be nerfed in a future patch, since it can take out bosses in a few hits, despite the DLC generally being regarded—and even criticised—as being brutally difficult. If you’re looking for abuildto help you melt those bosses, the Rolling Sparks location is detailed below.

Elden Ring Rolling Sparks location

It’s possible to grab this Ash of War early on in the DLC, but you’ll need to take a shortcut toScadu Altusand venture very close to the Shadow Keep, potentially triggering theGreat Rune shatteringevent. This will progress many NPC quests so it may be best to wait or back up your save file before venturing there.

Thankfully, you can lock on to the scarab so using abow,magic, or athrowing daggerwill all work, just be sure to finish it off when it hits the ground as it will try to run away. Also, make sure to jump back to avoid the explosion when it dies.

The Rolling Sparks Ash of War can be applied to most Perfume Bottles, and the explosions will take on the element of the bottle: the Lightning Perfume Bottle causes lightning explosions, the Firespark one, causes fire, and so on. Buff it with the Shard of Alexander and Perfumer’s Talisman from the main game, and you’ve got the beginnings of a killer build.
