The Ash of War: Golden Slam is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Sacred affinity and the Golden Slam skill. It becomes available partway through a run, in the Altus Plateau.
Golden Slam is the skill of the Erdtree Avatars: the wielder leaps high into the air and crashes down on the ground ahead, sending golden shockwaves out in all directions. The landing deals physical damage and the shockwave deals holy damage, and both scale with Faith. The wielder is very hard to stagger while airborne, and the landing flattens human-sized enemies. It suits Faith builds that want a heavy area attack on any melee weapon.

Skill
Use it to crash into groups or onto a boss during a long recovery, since the leap takes about two seconds to land. It gives no invulnerability frames, so incoming attacks still hurt even though they do not interrupt. Many bosses resist holy damage, where Ground Slam may do more.
Good With
| Weapons | Great Club, Giant-Crusher, Greatsword, Great Mace, Claymore |
|---|---|
| Affinity | Sacred strongly raises the Faith scaling of both the landing and the shockwave. |
| Talismans | Sacred Scorpion Charm, Shard of Alexander |
| Stats | Faith |
Notes
- The landing deals physical damage while the shockwave deals holy damage.
- Many bosses resist holy damage, which lowers the shockwave's value against them.
- Once obtained, it can be duplicated with Lost Ashes of War at the Roundtable Hold.
