This Ash of War grants an armament the Fire affinity and the following skill: Flaming Strike: Skill that emits flame in a wide frontward arc. Follow up with a strong attack to perform a lunging, sweeping strike. This will also coat the armament in fire. Usable on melee armaments (colossal weapons and whips excepted).

Ash of War: Flaming Strike Location in Flaming Strike: Redmane CastleDungeon, dropped by a Teardrop Scarab in a small graveyard along the south cliffside behind the castle. From the front gate, hug right along the cliff towards the ballista, going up and past the vampire bats. There will be a small gap in the cliff that must be jumped across to get to the graveyard. From the Chamber Outside the PlazaGrace site of grace, head south. Make your way through the barricades and head down the stairs to the SW (there is a transporter on them). Go past the tree with hanged men and make a south up a few short stairways into the castle. Go up the stairway inside and head outside again to the south. Either a) Make a left and turn right/south to enter the castle again, taking out any resting soldiers if need be. On the left side at the other end of the room is a door which opens up into the graveyard area (only openable from this side). OR b) instead of making a left, continue eastward, go up the ladder, make a right and go up some stairs, turn west, then south after the castle turret, and move onto a wooden ramp curving counterclockwise around the turret. Go down the ladder here to enter the graveyard. The door in the above method can be seen to the west, up several flights of wooden stairs. If the Radahn Festival is currently Active, this Ash of War is still accessible by following a similar route but after the stairs with the teleporter continue into west into a wooden structure with a set of stairs, go up the stairs and you can jump into a small crevice into the wall that will allow you to go through to the part of the castle that is before a room that connects into the graveyard. Normally this area is inaccessible during the Radahn Festival but using this jump will allow you to get there.
