Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell. Use to
summon the spirit of a warhawk.
Spirit of a Stormveil warhawk, the talons of which have
been sliced off so that razor-fine swords could be grafted
in their place. With its lord vanquished, and its wings
wounded, the hawk perished as it solemnly gazed at its
former home. The storm is a warhawk's cradle.
Obtained in Weeping Peninsula, just north of the Church of Pilgrimage. This is the reward for finding the location depicted on the "Prophecy" Painting, and as such, the painting item must have already been obtained from the sideroom to the big courtyard near the Liftside Chamber Site of Grace in Stormveil Castle.
Summons a flying Warhawk, complete with sword-talons and a flame spray.
Deals Standard damage with its sword-talons, Pierce damage with its pecks, and Fire damage with the spray.
Surprisingly durable due to its flight letting it avoid certain ground bound attacks and the additional evasiveness of its melee attacks.
It actually has fairly low HP and as such is quite vulnerable to area of effect attacks since those are much less likely to miss it.
Compared to the similar Stormhawk Deenh this Ash is available a good bit earlier, has the utility of a Fire-based attack, has some extra range on its melee attacks, and won't override any other Aura Buffs such as Golden Vow.
