Fighting spellcasters in Elden Ring can be a pain. Sometimes you want to give them a taste of their own medicine, and that’s where Carian Retaliation comes in. This Ash of War ace excels against magical builds, and here’s how to get him.
Elden Ring – THIS ASH OF WAR IS BROKEN! Carian Retaliation Ash Of War Location Guide!
Unlike most other Ashes of War in Elden Ring, Carian Retaliation is not found by defeating an enemy or as a drop from a Teardrop Scarab. Despite the power of this spell, finding the Ash of War is easier than you might think, as it can be purchased from an NPC merchant. The one you’re looking for is Pidia, Carian Servant, and you can find him in Caria Manor.
Although Pidia resides in Caria Manor, you won’t encounter him when you first explore the legacy dungeon. Once you’ve cleared the path and defeated Royal Knight Loretta, you’ll gain access to the back of Caria Manor, which extends into the Three Sisters region. From here, head to the eastern part of the mansion.
From here, head south until you see an opening to drop into. Drop down here and climb down the nearby ladder to find Pidia. Talk to him and use his dialogue to access his shop. Navigate to the Ash of War: Carian Retaliation and purchase the item for 3000 Runes.
