U4GM - 5 Simple Steps to Enchant Weapons Using Special Elden Ring Items
Enchanting your weapons in Elden Ring can give you a significant edge in combat, letting you tailor your blade or staff with elemental damage, higher scaling, or unique skills. By using key Elden Ring Items and following these five straightforward steps, you’ll transform your weapon into a powerful tool for any encounter. If you’re looking to experiment without breaking the bank, don’t forget you can also pick up cheap Elden Ring Items to supplement your arsenal.
Step 1: Gather the Necessary Materials
Before you begin, make sure you have the right components on hand:
Ashes of War: These teach your weapon a new skill and can change its affinity (elemental scaling).
Whetblades: Obtained early in the game, these allow you to apply Ashes of War at any Site of Grace.
Sacred Tears & Golden Seeds: To upgrade your Flask and keep your FP for infusion skills.
Infusion Materials: Such as Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear (for magic buffs) or Fire Grease (for fire buffs).
In my first playthrough, I underestimated the variety of Ashes of War available—once I collected several from chests and boss drops, my weapon transformations became far more diverse and effective.
Step 2: Apply an Ash of War
Rest at a Site of Grace and select “Ashes of War.”
Choose your weapon from the menu.
Select the desired Ash of War skill and affinity. Affinities like “Magic,” “Fire,” or “Lightning” adjust your weapon’s scaling and damage type.
I found that switching a normal sword to an “Ancient Legion’s Ash” not only added a powerful slash skill but also improved Strength scaling, making my build feel more cohesive.
Step 3: Infuse with Elemental Consumables
To amplify elemental damage further, use consumables:
Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear: Mix into your Flask of Wondrous Physick to boost magic infusion.
Paraffin or Fire Grease: Apply these directly to your weapon to add temporary but substantial fire damage.
Combining a magic infusion with a Flask buff let me unleash a flurry of high-damage spells without draining all my FP in one go.
Step 4: Upgrade at the Blacksmith
Head to a blacksmith to enhance your newly enchanted weapon:
Speak to Brother Corhyn or Iron Fist Alexander at Roundtable Hold.
Select “Reinforce Weapon” or “Reassign Ashes.”
Use Smithing Stones or Somber Smithing Stones to raise your weapon’s attack power and refine its infusion.
In my experience, a +10 enchanted weapon with a proper infusion eclipsed any uninfused weapon of the same level by a wide margin.
Step 5: Fine-Tune with Talismans and Stats
Finally, optimize your build around your enchanted weapon:
Equip talismans that boost your chosen damage type, such as the Magic Scorpion Charm for sorcery-infused weapons.
Allocate attribute points to Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Faith, depending on your infusion.
I once paired a Lightning-infused spear with the Godfrey Icon talisman, which shortened charge times and synergized perfectly with my spear’s skill, making each thrust hit like a thunderbolt.
Enchanting weapons in Elden Ring is a game-changer, but it relies on using the right Elden Ring Items and following a clear process. From applying Ashes of War to infusing with consumables and upgrading at the blacksmith, each step enhances your weapon’s power and versatility. And if you need to stock up on materials, consider cheap Elden Ring Items to keep experimenting without draining your rune reserves. Embrace these steps and watch your raw blade become a masterful instrument of conquest in the Lands Between.
