Ash of War: Holy Ground
Holy Ground grants the Sacred affinity: you raise your shield to consecrate the ground around you, creating an area that steadily heals HP and raises defence for you and any allies inside.
It works on all shields and is a natural fit for co-op play and Faith-leaning builds.
Skill effect
Raise your shield to consecrate the ground, steadily restoring HP and boosting defence for you and allies inside.

Where to find it
In the original version of the game, it drops from the three teleporting chariots inside Auriza Hero’s Grave in the Capital Outskirts on the Altus Plateau. Explore the side section that starts in the pit near the end of the dungeon and activate the flame pillar at its end. This turns a statue on top of the pillar so it projects a teleport sigil into the hallway where two chariots patrol side by side, and the third chariot teleports into their path, wrecking all three.
Item description & lore
The ground it creates is blessed by the Erdtree.
