The Carian Retaliation is the latest Ash of War in Elden Ring that players can use to instill massive magic damage during boss fights.

Elden Ring boss fights can be a grueling ordeal without the proper equipment. Enemies like Starscrouge Radahn have massive health pools and deadly attacks.

So if you can’t deal enough damage, you might end up depleting all your flasks before you can defeat them.

With the Carian Retaliation, you’ll be able to decimate any boss’s health bar completely.

How to Get Massive Magic Damage with Carian Retaliation

To inflict a considerable amount of magic damage with the Carian Retaliation, you’ll need to use the Wraith Calling Bell to activate its ability without the need for enemy attacks.

• To inflict the most damage, you’ll need to get the Wraith Calling Bell from the underground passage in Laskyar Ruins. The ruins are northwest of the Liurnia Lake Shore Site of Grace.
• Once you’ve acquired the Wraith Calling Bell, apply the Carian Retaliation Ash on War on your choice of shield, and you’re ready to do OP damage.
• Activate the Wraith Calling Bell and follow up with the Carian Retaliation to activate your Ash of War ability.
• This will make it so that the spirit you summon with the Wraith Calling Bell triggers the Carian Retaliation, casting three Glinstone swords around you.
• If all three of these Glinstone swords hit the boss or enemy, they can inflict a considerable amount of damage.

This includes late-game bosses like Godfrey, First Elden Lord Hoarah Loux.
