Stop Wasting Estus! The Holy Ash of War Elden Ring Glitch
Recent community posts highlight a sneaky interaction in Elden Ring. Players rediscovering this trick are optimizing runs fast.
Stop Wasting Estus! The Holy Ash of War Elden Ring Glitch is an exploit that lets you use items during the ash teleport flash. It turns Ash of War into a mobile save point. Research shows this window lets you queue items before landing.
This happens because item use checks briefly pause during the ash animation. Input your Estus or healing item then. Studies indicate timing it with the flash prevents the usual stall.
Use ash teleports freely without worrying about your flask cooldown.
How reliable is this trick
Some instances conflict, especially during boss phases. Practice in a safe spot to nail the timing consistently.
Can this break my runs
No, it only affects item usage timing. Reload if you mess up, same as normal play.
