Learn how to obtain the Carian Retaliation Ash of War in Elden Ring. Follow this guide through Caria Manor to defeat Royal Knight Loretta and find Pidia, Carian Servant.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Main Caria Manor Gate Site of Grace, enter the manor and turn left. Follow the wall northwest, avoiding or defeating Spider Hands.
  2. 2
    Go under an arch to the northeast, continue hugging the left wall northwest into a building guarded by Spider Hands. Head upstairs to find the Manor Lower Level Site of Grace.
  3. 3
    From the doorway to the southeast, traverse the elevated walkways, dealing with Phantom Raya Lucaria Soldiers and avoiding invisible magical traps.
  4. 4
    At a fork in the walkway near a tower, continue southeast. At the second tower, turn left (northeast) and head upstairs to find another tower with a lift to the Manor Upper Level Site of Grace.
  5. 5
    Exit northwest, being wary of Direwolves. Head northeast down stairs and continue northeast until you see stairs leading up to a doorway to the northwest.
  6. 6
    Ascend the stairs guarded by Page enemies and a Troll Knight. You can either fight them or run past them through a gate.
  7. 7
    You will enter a courtyard with a shallow pool. Approach the pool to trigger the boss fight against Royal Knight Loretta. A Stake of Marika is located just outside the courtyard gate.
  8. 8
    After defeating Royal Knight Loretta, exit Caria Manor via the gate to the northwest. Turn left and follow the wall southwest and south.
  9. 9
    When the wall disappears, follow the cliffs southwest until you spot ledges leading down to a square stone building. Drop down to the top of this building.
  10. 10
    Turn southwest and drop off the building's edge onto a wooden platform. Repeat this process, dropping onto another wooden platform to the southeast, then onto a stone battlement below.
  11. 11
    Drop down southeast again to a lower roof to find an open trapdoor. Descend via a ladder. You are now in the upper balcony of the room containing the Manor Lower Level Site of Grace.
  12. 12
    Find Pidia, Carian Servant scrubbing the floor in the western corner of this room. Talk to him twice, and he will offer to sell you items, including the Ash of War: Carian Retaliation.
Tips
  • Spider Hands can be a nuisance in groups; watch out for buried ones that ambush you.
  • Direwolves are tougher than normal wolves but can be run past.
  • The Troll Knight is a significantly more dangerous version of Trolls. Consider running past if you are struggling.
  • A Stake of Marika is conveniently located outside the courtyard where you fight Royal Knight Loretta.
