Elden Ring: How To Get To The Warmaster's Shack?

In Elden Ring, finding the Warmaster's Shack is essential as it grants access to a crucial game mechanic – Ashes of War. This location plays a key role in upgrading and customizing your weapons with powerful abilities. Gamer Choice will guide you on how to find the Warmaster's Shack and what you can do once you're there.

How to get to the Warmaster's Shack?

Warmaster's Shack is located in Stormhill, northwest of Limgrave. It is positioned just north of the Stormgate, which you need to pass through to enter Stormhill. The structure itself is distinctive, appearing as a small building missing its entire front wall. Check the map below for its exact location.

What to do in Warmaster's Shack?

Once you arrive at Warmaster's Shack, you’ll encounter Knight Bernahl, a vendor who sells Ashes of War and allows you to apply them to your weapons. These enhancements are vital for tailoring your combat style. Later in the game, you will meet Bernahl again at Volcano Manor, where assisting him with invasions will reward you with the Raging Wolf set.

Visiting Warmaster's Shack at night triggers an optional mini-boss fight. When you rest at the Site of Grace in the shack during nighttime, Bell Bearing Hunter will appear. He replaces the merchant for the duration of the battle. Defeating him grants valuable rewards, including Elden Ring Runes and a Bone Peddler's Bell Bearing. However, Knight Bernahl will not be permanently gone—he will return to the shack when you visit during the day.

While progressing in Elden Ring, understanding mechanics like Ashes of War, two-handed weapons, and magic spells will be crucial to mastering combat and overcoming the game's many challenges.
