About this item
The skill control uses the ability attached to the active armament. It may produce an attack, a parry, a stance or a temporary buff.
A shield skill usually takes priority over the weapon in the other hand. Two-hand the weapon to use its skill, or use a compatible shield with No Skill when you want the weapon's skill available.
Many skills have another input after the first action. Some use a light attack, some a strong attack and some another skill press, so follow the instructions for that particular skill.

Where to find
Cave of Knowledge
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Stranded Graveyard
- From Stranded Graveyard, approach the seated ghost beside the hole before the large exit lift. Drop into the hole and activate Cave of Knowledge grace.
- Follow the practice path through the enemies and read the introduction to weapon skills when it appears. This explanation is awarded automatically, rather than picked up from a corpse.
- Continue through the Soldier of Godrick encounter to return to the upper graveyard. The Info tab keeps the tutorial available to read afterward.
Notes
- The skill control uses the ability attached to the active armament. It may produce an attack, a parry, a stance or a temporary buff.
- A shield skill usually takes priority over the weapon in the other hand. Two-hand the weapon to use its skill, or use a compatible shield with No Skill when you want the weapon's skill available.
- Many skills have another input after the first action. Some use a light attack, some a strong attack and some another skill press, so follow the instructions for that particular skill.
- Watch FP as well as stamina. An attempted skill with too little FP may lose its important effect rather than working normally for free.
- Can use compatible Ashes of War on armaments that allow skill changes. Fixed unique skills cannot be replaced.
