Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtreeintroduces multiple new weapon types for players to try out. Along with the new weapon types are new Ashes of War that only work on those new weapon types, giving players lots of new options when determining their build.

A common new type of Ashes of War is Stances, which will have the players standing still, holding the stance, waiting for the moment to unleash one of the multiple moves at their disposal. One of these Ashes of War is Wing Stance, and players can find it fairly early into the DLC; here’s where to get it.
