How to Find and Use Ash of War: Determination
Ash of War: Determination can be found after entering the Limgrave region. Once in the area, players need to move northeast of Agheel Lake. Here, they will come across a bridge banding over the river below. Towards the left of this bridge, players will find a Teardrop Scarab. Like all scarabs, this one needs to be killed quickly, or else it will disappear from the area.
It is important to note that the area is filled with enemies. If a player is new to the game, they should be careful when approaching the scarab. There are two enemies in the region, and directly aiming for the scarab may trigger them. So it is better to sneak up on them as they rest by the campfire and eliminate them one after the other. However, this can be a bit challenging as scarabs keep rolling away. The best option is to use a long-range weapon to catch and kill the scarab. After killing the scarab, players can obtain the Ash of War: Determination.
