The Perfume weapons added in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree are unlike anything else in the game. Perfume Bottles spray volatile mists of elemental vapor that explode after a moment, dealing damage. They’re fun and novel weapons, especially if you use the Rolling Sparks Ash of War.

To get Rolling Sparks in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, head to the camp just south of Shadow Keep in Scadu Altus. You can go straight here as soon as you beat Renalla, Twin Moon Knight in Castle Ensis.

You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see lots of Perfumers. Look up—you’ll see a floating Teardrop Scarab above the camp at the location indicated on the map. Kill the floating Scarab to get the Rolling Sparks Ash of War.

Rolling Sparks is an Ash of War exclusive to the new Perfume Bottle weapon class. It sends out cascading elemental explosions that travel in a straight line, with the element decided by the Perfume Bottle it’s applied to. For instance, using Rolling Sparks with the Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle releases large fiery explosions that inflict Madness buildup and deal Fire damage.

This is one of two Ashes of War usable with Perfume Bottles, the other being Wall of Sparks. If you’re making a Perfumer build, equip a Perfume Bottle in each hand (to get the unique power-stance L1 attack) with Rolling Sparks on one Bottle and Wall of Sparks on the other.
