Updated August 6, 2024, by Hamza Haq: All FromSoftware games eventually turn into a tug-of-war between the developers making their bosses harder and harder and the players trying to break the game with overpowered weapons and cheese strategies. Anything truly broken is patched out of the game within a month or so, but balancing is tricky, and there is no way to completely get rid of every overengineered strategy there is. With the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, a ton of new weapons , spells, ashes of war, and other items have upended the status quo into something completely fresh once again. And with that come new ways to cheese bos
Erdtree Greatshield : The Erdtree Greatshield may not be the toughest shield around, nor is it the lightest, but it may just be the best option for any Faith builds. To start with, the Erdtree Greatshield is fairly light , coming in at just 13.5, and once fully upgraded, it offers a solid Guard Boost of 66. The real advantage of the Erdtree Greatshield is that it's impressively resistant to any type of Holy and Sorcery damage, making it the ideal choice for any of Elden Ring 's tougher mage fights. The top it all off, the Erdtree Greatshield has a Weapon Art that lets it deflect oncoming sorceries and incantations . Called Golden Retaliation, this Weapon Art can be used to absorb oncoming Magic attacks and launch them back at the enemy. Though the timing for this can be pretty difficult to nail down, especially in the heat of battle, a successful Golden Retaliation can deliver a devastating counter-b
There are two different Mohgs in Elden Ring : one can be found below Leyndell, in the Shunning Grounds barring a secret entrance to the Deeproot Depths, and one can be found atop Mohgwyn Palace, an endgame area devoted to the Formless Mother and the Mohgwyn Dynasty. The Shunning Grounds version of Mohg is actually a Shade, while the real version – the one that drops Mohg's Great Rune – is found in Mohgwyn Palace.
The Moonveil Katana can be found very early on in Elden Ring if you know where to go. From the Third Church of Marika, head north towards the western entrance to Caelid . Follow the road until you reach the telescope marked on the world map - from here, head directly west to reach the Gael Tunnel.
Moonveil also deals Bleed damage on hit, though it does not scale with Arcane and cannot be increased. It scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence (primarily Intelligence), and its Ash of War will deal significantly more damage the more Intelligence your character has.
This is quite an embarrassing exploit, seeing as it has to do with a phase of the very final boss battle in Elden Ring: the fight against Radagon of the Golden Order and the Elden Beast. Looking at the game's patch history and the pride FromSoftware takes in its boss battles, it is honestly quite surprising that it has only been patched in August 2022, nearly six months after the game's release d
Unfortunately, getting the Great Rune from a Demi-God is only one part of its activation. Those looking to activate every Great Rune will have to discover the corresponding Divine Towers sprinkled across the Lands Between. Some of them are much easier to find than others, and one, in particular, holds the Great Rune activation spot for two Demi-Gods; Morgott and Mohg. Here's how players can get to the location and activate the powerful runes for these bosses after they defeat them in Elden Ring .
Just outside the arena, players will find a spot with three Scarlet Rot geysers erupting in a coordinated pattern , one after another. In order to kill O'Neil without pressing the attack button even once, players should have him chase them around these geysers, which will erupt underneath him , dealing hefty damage right away, as well as slowly building up the Commander's Scarlet Rot infection meter. Three or four eruptions should be enough to drain all of O'Neil's
To reach the Church of Vows where Miriel is encountered for the first time, Tarnished must defeat Godrick the Grafted or take a shortcut around the castle to arrive at Liurnia of the Lakes. Next, keep going north until you see a path leading to the eastern Liurnia of the Lakes. Take it and proceed northwest to find the Church of V
Updated October 28, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : When it comes to how to activate the Morgott and Mohg Great Runes, Elden Ring players are in luck: it's actually the same spot. What isn't quite so simple is making sure to head to the right boss location to get both Mohg and Morgott's Great Runes. These two Omen brothers have several locations throughout the game, but only one of their fights actually yields each boss' Great Rune when defeated. This guide has been updated with some more detailed information about how to get to Mohg and Morgott's locations in Elden Ring, as well as some details on the Divine Tower of East Altus and the effects of each Rune.
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
