It might not look like it, but Elden Ring is also a resource-management game. The most valuable resource, of course, is that red HP bar that needs to be spent wisely in boss fights. What other resources need careful consideration before splurging? Keys. Stonesword Keys , in particular. Opening locked passages that require Stonesword Keys is like a box of chocolates, players never know what they're getting.
To get Crepus' Black-Key Crossbow, Elden Ring players must must use a Stonesword Key on the Imp Statue Roundtable Hold. Head to Hewg and look for the stairs that lead to the lower level. The Stonesword Key door is around the cor
Golden Beast Crest Shield : For a shield that just requires 24 Strength to wield, and only weighs 12.5, the Golden Beast Crest Shield is a great option for builds that don't specialize in Strength . While its affordability is a plus, its stats are rather modest among Greatshields and don't particularly stand out. Still, its elegant design makes it a great match for some of the most stunning heavy armor knight sets in Elden Ri
The Light Crossbow gives players the ability to deliver as much damage as the Shortbow but at a much longer range. The drawback of the Light Crossbow, with all Crossbow-type weapons in fact, is the Weapon Skill . The Kick skill is only useful in very specific circumstan
Broken into three categories, Elden Ring 's shields range from being barely worth the pickup to being a must-have for most builds. The game's Greatshields mostly belong to the latter category, offering an unparalleled level of protection against Elden Ring 's bosses and deadly environments. In true FromSoftware fashion, Greatshields also make for some pretty brutal weapons at ti
All the weapons compatible with this build have a bit of wind-up for their skills, so this one can help. Grab it from the Golden Lineage Evergaol located to the southwest of the Grand Lift of Dectus on the Altus Plateau . If one has unlocked a fourth talisman slot, then just put whatever suits the situation best. Most often though, either a damage negation or FP increasing talisman is what works well in this slot.
There are no upgrade materials in the cave though players will also get their Stonesword Key refund in the cave as it's one of the items scattered in the area. Players will need to prepare themselves for the boss in the area though since the Crystalians can be unfair and annoying without a blunt weapon to make quick work of them.
Interestingly, the Veteran's Set is a reward for defeating Commander Niall at Castle Sol Rooftop in the Mountaintops of the Giants, one of the strongest bosses in Elden Ring who deals significant Lightning damage. After his defeat, players will need to spend some runes to purchase this set from Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable H
One can always use their favorite Ash summon, but there are a couple that are particularly good for fighting bosses near the end of the game. The first is the Mimic Tear Ashes of course. It doesn’t do a ton of direct damage like it did at Elden Ring’s outset, but it still has plenty of health and excels at distracting the enemy. Better yet, the summon uses all of your equipped weapons and items, meaning it can help trigger blood loss on enemies. If one doesn’t already have it, it can be fought and obtained near Nokron.
For that matter, it's no slouch when it comes to protecting its wearer against magic or elemental attacks . That said, players still shouldn't expect to poise through some of the toughest and heaviest lightning attacks in the game while wearing it. On the plus side, however, the armor's low weight can allow for some incredibly fast ro
To get the Shortbow, Elden Ring players must purchase it from the Nomadic Merchant near the Coastal Cave location for 600 Runes, or defeat Marionette Soldiers encountered in Liurnia of the Lakes and other locations throughout the game. You can also get it as Starting Equipment for Noklateo city Guide the Bandit cl
Inverted Hawk Towershield : There's nothing wrong with the Inverted Hawk Towershield, being another good shield across the board, and taking minimal effort to farm, but there's also nothing too special about it, landing it on the B-tier of this list by default. Highlights of this Greatshild are its good Magic and Holy resistances. However, players should be prepared for an exceptionally low drop rate. Even with a Discovery of around 250, our experience suggests that farming for this unremarkable shield can take approximately 50 minu
Luckily for players who don't mind resorting to a little bit of trickery, the battle can be made much easier by preventing one of the opponents from reviving the other one. Either one of the Godskins is programmed to revive their fallen partner in less than a minute, but as Reddit user Karolus2001 discovered , players can prevent them from doing so by breaking the boss's poise as he starts the revival process, effectively turning the rest of the fight into a much more manageable 1v1 fight. This requires precise timing, but it's certainly easier than taking both Godskins on at the same t
