The dark cave is notable for housing the full Mushroom armor set whose helmet is quite substantial for some niche overpowered builds that can one-shot most bosses. Apart from that, players can also find the Kindred of Rot's Exultation in the cave which is also crucial for Poison or Rot builds. So players with uncommon builds will want to venture here ASAP.
This particular strategy was discovered by a popular Souls- focused YouTuber, Iron Pineapple . It can be seen in action here . All one has to do to kill the Draconic Sentinel is to stealthily position oneself behind the boss, and continuously cast Poison Mist at him . This spell will not aggravate the Sentinel, all the while dealing steady poison damage. The only drawback of this approach is that it can take as long as 15 minutes to kill him, due to Poison Mist's low damage st
In terms of the best General Radahn spells, which imitate his moveset in his boss fight, pick up Rock Sling and Collapsing Stars from the base game, as well as Gravity Well and Gravitational Missile. In the DLC, pick up the Ash of War: Spinning Gravity Thrust to imitate one of General Radahn's most infamous attacks.
In the easternmost part of the Consecrated Snowfield, right at the frozen river , players can find the Cave of the Forlorn. The boss in this area is cheap since it's just a reused Misbegotten Crusader enemy and the cave is also home to some reused Misbegotten enemies though one could argue that their being there is lore-friendly.
From there, they can climb the massive Erdtree root ahead of them and wind along its path until coming to a balcony and a waiting boss door. Here, players will need to face the ghost of the First Elden Lord, Godfrey. After defeating the boss, they can move up to the Queen's Bedchamber Site of Grace and then up the long stairs from there to face Morgott, The Omen King.
As opposed to traditional, arena-based bosses, overworld encounters are characterized by the fact that players can get away from them at any moment, or stretch out the fight area by having the enemies chase them. This cheesing tactic applies to nearly every overworld boss, including the already-mentioned Commander O'Neil or Draconic Tree Sentinel (Capital Outskirts) , or even the Divine Beast Dancing Lion in the Shadow of the Erdtree D
Wooden Greatshield : Still not a bad shield, especially for elden Ring dlc features Ring 's early game, the Wooden Greatshield still offers good knockback on enemy attacks, but its defensive stats are much lower than the rest of the shields on this list, landing it right at the bottom. With only 91% physical damage negation and significant weakness to Fire, this shield isn't the most reliable for defense. However, its low weight and minimal stat requirements make it a viable situational option even for non-Strength buil
Black Steel Greatshield : One of the two new shields introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree , the Black Steel Greatshield, is unsurprisingly powerful, quickly earning a spot as one of the best Greatshields available to players. Wielded by the formidable Black Knights, the most loyal servants of Messmer the Impaler, this shield is both menacing and stylish, symbolizing an unyielding force of iron conviction. Despite its heavy weight of 19.5, the Black Steel Greatshield offers 100% physical damage negation and boasts one of the highest defenses against Holy damage, with a base value of 84 that can be increased to 105 when infused with Sacred. This makes it unparalleled for battles against bosses that deal substantial Holy damage, such as Promised Consort Radahn. To obtain this shield, players must defeat Black Knight Garrew, located at Fog Rift F
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
Summonwater Village is easy enough to access, it's along the big main road on Stormhill , just east, near the Limgrave-Caelid border. It's a ruined town dominated by the Tibia Mariner . That's not too worrying as the boss is a pushover— one of the weakest in the game.
The battle against Starscourge Radahn is one of the most exhilarating fights in the entire game. Summoning NPCs to aid the players and charging at the demigod feels epic, and so does the satisfaction that comes with defeating Radahn. The only problem? It's an excruciatingly difficult encounter. Understandably, many players set out to find an easier way of handling
Players will need to be careful as they progress across the bridge toward the tower as they'll be trapped in a dark arena by twin bosses , the Fell Twins. The arena for this boss fight is reminiscent of the Four Kings fight from Dark Souls , being an inky black void where you can only see your enemies and nothing else, but the fight is not particularly tough.
