Wondering how to find the Golden Vow incantation in Elden Ring? Here is the exact place to find it, as well as the location for the Ash of War by the same name. 

There is still a fair bit of time left before the June 21 release of Elden Ring‘s highly anticipated DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. This means there is enough time to put together a proper build and brush up on some of the core game mechanics

Besides, it wouldn’t really be a FromSoftware DLC if it didn’t feature more grueling bosses than the base game, and the developers have already hinted at a harsher difficulty. So you’ll need the best weapons and items to stand a chance.

The Golden Vow Incantation is one of the better ones that can buff almost all your builds in Elden Ring. There is also an Ash of War by the same name, so here’s where you can find them both.

And here is what the location looks like:

You’ll be invaded by an NPC when you first arrive in this location.

There are multiple enemies on the road, as well as not-so-friendly dogs. If you’ve progressed there naturally for the first time, tread carefully, as they all can deal hefty damage. 

Golden Vow boosts the attack and defense for yourself as well as your allies in Elden Ring, so you can slap it on almost all builds. It lasts 80 seconds so you can use it before you enter a boss room.

Mounted Godrick Knight should be a relatively easy fight.

Both the Ash of War and Incantation work the same, the only difference is that using the Ash of War adds Holy Damage and Faith Scaling at the expense of others.
