Cinquedea : The only useful thing that the Cinquedea does is boost Bestial Incantations—which are relatively lackluster—but as it stands that passive ability cannot outweigh the relatively poor base stats and inability to upgrade it without using Somber Smithing Stones. It's also in a difficult hidden location in Elden Ring that, as of Patch 1.03, is currently near impossible to obt
The Tombsward Catacombs is located in the Weeping Peninsula, making it one of the early game catacombs. The exact location is south of the Church of Pilgrims, and the cave has an open entrance. It’s just one room inside, sealed by a fog barrier. Use the Stonesword Key to get the Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [9] , which allows you to craft the Rancor Pot.
Despite its unique design, melodic sound when firing, and low weight and stat requirements, the Harp Bow is widely considered one of the weakest ranged weapons in Elden Ring . Its poor damage and range are disappointing, especially given how late in the game players can acquire
With a simple mod, players can disable this mechanic so that they're free to take risks without bearing the repercussions that come from a loss. As a result, players can easily level up their character and tackle fierce bosses without being too tentative or ignoring certain imposing battles altogether because of how intimidating they s
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.
Main-gauche : Similar to the Wakizashi and Parrying Dagger, the Main-gauche unlocks a unique duel-wielding moveset when equipped in the off-hand – but only when you are wielding a Thrusting sword. Its innate ability to Parry attacks makes it great for offensive playstyles that suit a dual-wielding playstyle, but being found deep in the DLC makes it hard to acquire, and its stricter requirements to unlock the moveset make it less appealing than a Wakiza
Elden Ring 's modding community has already introduced several mods that reduce the game's imposed challenges . And there's nothing wrong with that, providing they're used offline. So, for those craving more accessibility, these mods ought to lower blood pressure quite a bit. A word of warning though: these mods are not meant to be used online . Doing so will likely result in a ban and could ruin other players' experiences. Also, while it can be tempting to use mods that make the game easier, a huge part of what makes FromSoftware games so special is the challenge they pose. This is arguably the most accessible FromSoftware game to date, and players should give it some hours before deciding if these mods are the only way to enjoy the game for t
Marika's Soreseal is a talisman that gives quite a boost as it adds five levels each to four attributes. Those stats would be Mind, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane. That's a total savings of 20 levels which is a lot of Runes, especially in late-game where level-up costs start to become exorbitant.
In terms of base stats, the Red Branch Shortbow and the Composite Bow are identical. They both deal the same amount of damage (65), they both have the same range (29), and they both have the same Strength and Dexterity scaling. The only major difference between the two is their weapon ski
Climb the stairs and defeat the enemies to use the Stonesword Key on the statue. You will immediately get ambushed by an Imp, so be careful. Approach the item and pick it up to get the Nox Mirrorhelm . It’s a helmet usually worn by those who committed high treason and is incredibly weak against Strike damage.
Dagger : The only redeeming quality of the Dagger is that it can be upgraded to +25 with Smithing Stones, but even then, it is outshone by alternatives like the Bloodstained Dagger. Still, a decent option for those willing to invest in
Golden Greatshield : One of the few Greatshields that's actually managed to improve with updates, Elden Ring 's Golden Greatshield is a phenomenal mid-late game shield, capable of tanking just about anything the game can throw at the Steam Player Count. Though the Golden Greatshield isn't quite as light as the Eclipse Crest Greatshield, its weight of 17.0 is still on the lower side when compared to the rest of its class. While the Golden Greatshield isn't the most sturdy option at first, upon being upgraded, it becomes one tough piece of gear, with a Guard Boost stat of 78. It doesn't have any special gimmicks, and it isn't quite as tough as the rest of the shields above it in this tier, but the Golden Greatshield is a great option for most heavier builds, especially when it can be easily farmed in both the Altus Plateau and Leynde
Spiked Palisade Shield : As a shield, the Spiked Palisade Shield isn't all that great, only negating 95% of physical damage, and only having a guard boost of 59. Elemental resistances are not very generous either, capped at 50 on average. On the other hand, this shield isn't a bad weapon, causing 70 points of blood loss build-up with each successful hit . For certain blood-focused builds, it could be worth considering, especially given its brutal design, which pairs well with heavy armor s
