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
Radahn was a beefy guy, so having a high Vigor reflects this large Health pool. A 23 in Endurance means you will be able to equip the majority of General Radahn's armor, though you may need to use the Radagon Soreseal or the Great-Jar Arsenal Talisman to push your Equip Load high enough to avoid fat rolling. A 50 in Strength takes advantage of the Starscourge Greatsword's scaling, while a 21 in Intelligence allows use of the Meteorite Staff and the Rock Sling spell, both tied to Gravitational Sorceries. The above is calculated for a Level 100 player who started as a Wretch.
There's no chat function in-game, so you'll need to find a willing trade partner or benefactor using any other method be it the Elden Ring Rune Farming Ring discord, social media, or some other method. As always, the hard part of this method is finding someone willing to part with their Nagakiba as dual-wielding it is quite a popular option for Bleed builds, and many people want two of these katanas.
The Nagakiba Katana is a great weapon to dual-wield, especially alongside the Uchigatana. It's an absurdly long weapon overall, having more reach than most spears in the game, and it really doesn't take much effort to get. There's a reason this weapon is so popular, after all. In any case, here are the full expanded stats of this katana:
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 player. 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
In Elden Ring , the average Tarnished will come across many enemies in the Lands Between that can deal incredible amounts of Holy damage. Whether they serve Destined Death or have been blessed by the Erdtree itself, they have the power to kill many who would seek to strike down the demig
Scorpion's Stinger : The Scorpion's Stinger is unique in its ability to apply Scarlet Rot to an enemy. When combined with a talisman such as the Kindred of Rot's Exultation , the Scorpion's Stinger can dish out serious dam
Icon Shield : Just scraping in alongside the most disappointing Greatshields out there, the Icon Shield only has 95% physical damage negation, but its passive ability does slowly regenerate the user's health (3 HP per sec, non-upgradable), potentially making it worth the trade-off in most situations. Elemental stats aren't great either, but with a weight of just 11.5 and reduced Strength requirements, it may appeal to players experimenting with unique builds. Additionally, the Icon Shield's unusual shape and stylish appearance add to its app
Depending on how much you want to invest into Endurance, you will likely need to use one of the four Arsenal talismans that can be found throughout the Lands Between (the Great-Jar's version being the strongest). The best arrows to use with the Starscourge build are Radahn's Spears, as they gain a boost to damage when paired with this weapon specifically.
Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : The best Daggers in Elden Ring are those that come with some kind of special effect or unlock a unique moveset, but many of the game's daggers are useful in the right hands with the right build. With the addition of several new DLC daggers, Elen Ring players have some more choices when it comes to the best Elden Ring Daggers. This Elden Ring Dagger tier list has been updated to include the Main-Gauche and Fire Knight's Shortsword, as well as to include some new details on Daggers available in the base g
It's quite the long and perilous journey to traverse the difficult Leyndell, Royal Capital after players have entered the city's walls. Once you make it to the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace, exit a door to the Southwest and hop down to the right, onto an old horse stable.
The Starscourge Greatsword and Lion Greatbow are each rewards for trading in Radahn's Remembrance, but you can only do this once per Remembrance. Head to a Walking Mausoleum to duplicate the Remembrance of the Starscourge so you can get both of these weapons in a single playthrough.
