What is Unsheathe?
The Ash of War: Unsheathe in Elden Ring is a common skill applicable to katanas. This technique derives from the Land of Reeds. If you intend to use a katana as your basic weapon, this skill will transform into your bread and butter. It costs 10 FP for a light attack release and 15 FP for a heavy attack release.
The light attack inflicts 15 Poise Damage and the heavy attack inflicts 30 Poise Damage. Cancelling the skill does not require the player to consume and use up FP. Sheathe, however, is not a skill that can be charged and therefore has a fixed amount of damage you can inflict.
How to Find and Equip Unsheathe
There are two methods you can use to use Unsheathe, the first is compatible with all katanas. The second method requires a player to seek out a specific weapon that enables them to use the skill.
Teardrop Scarab
The Ash of War is dropped by a teardrop scarab near the Agheel lake. Initially, head to the Agheel Lake on the South Site of Grace. Afterward, make your way northwest. The scarab that will drop the skill can be found somewhere around the south-east side of the lake. Collect the Ash of War and the skill is all yours to utilize.
Uchigatana
The second method of obtaining this skill is to equip the Uchigatana. The default skill of this katana is Unsheathe. Therefore, obtaining the weapon is the fastest way to obtain the skill. Though, you can always customize the Uchigatana to your needs just like any other katana in the game.
