The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring introduces Perfume Bottles as a unique weapon type, crafted by Perfumers within the Realm of Shadow. These weapons are particularly effective at quickly inflicting status effects, a capability that can be further enhanced when paired with Ashes of War like Rolling Sparks or Wall of Sparks. This guide details the locations of all available Perfume Bottles and highlights the best Ashes of War to maximize their potential.
Perfume Bottle Locations
There are five distinct Perfume Bottles to find within Shadow of the Erdtree. Each offers a different damage type and status effect build-up. The Firespark Perfume Bottle, which deals Fire damage, can be found in a chest within a camp located across the Ellac Greatbridge and south of the Castle Front Site of Grace. The Chilling Perfume Bottle, dealing Magic damage and Frost build-up, is located in Lamenter's Gaol. For those seeking elemental and status effects, the Frenzyflame Perfume Bottle, dealing Fire damage with Frenzyflame build-up, is situated in the Church Ruins in Abyssal Woods. The Lightning Perfume Bottle, which deals Lightning damage, is found north of the Cerulean Coast Site of Grace, nestled in a swamp guarded by a Lightning Ram. Finally, the Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle, dealing Physical damage with Poison build-up, is available for purchase from the merchant Thiollier.
Enhancing Perfume Bottle Effectiveness with Ashes of War
To fully leverage the offensive capabilities of the Perfume Bottles, players are advised to seek out two specific Ashes of War: Rolling Sparks and Wall of Sparks. These Ashes of War are considered the most potent for increasing the damage output of any Perfume Bottle. Their strategic application can significantly amplify the effectiveness of these unique weapons, especially in their role of applying status effects. Maps detailing the locations of these Ashes of War are available to aid players in their search.
