Where To Find Aspect of the Crucible: Wings Location
To get the Aspect of the Crucible: Wings ash of war in theElden RingDLC, you mustenter the Scadu Altus area via a Sealed Spiritspringthat you can reach by heading south after crossing the Ellac Greatbridge toward Castle Ensis. Continue southeast until you see a series of ledges dotted with Bats that lead down into the valley below (on the map, this path is located along the river that leads southeast from Castle Ensis).
If you reach Thiollier, look for the ledges almost directly east.
Once at the bottom, continue southeast until you discover a Sealed Spiritspring near the Elder’s Shack. The ghostly Cairne in this Spiritspring will disappear once you find its twin in the real world. Head a little further southeast and look for the twinned Cairne, and strike it to destroy it.
This willunlock the Sealed Spiritspringwhich launches the Tarnishedextremelyfar upward, directly into the Scadu Altus region, and directly into the Fort of Reprimand. Look for the central execution area with anOmenkillerominously staring at a body, then for a room on the southeast corner of the outer walkway above.
Almost as soon as you turn to enter the door to this upper level room, the Black Knight Edredd boss will attack – initiating combat with the Aspect of the Crucible: Wings skill itself. Theboss may even jump-scare you, as it seems to anticipate the Tarnished walking through its door and will pre-cast this skill so it is already lunging by the time you see it.
Beat Black Knight Edredd to be rewarded with Aspect of the Crucible: Wings, which can then be imbued onto any Thrusting Sword or Thrusting Polearm.
