Players will have to unlock Mountaintops of the Giants in order to get to Castle Sol. It's an optional area but Mountaintops of the Giants is mandatory so unlocking that region is easy. To get to Castle Sol, players will simply have to head over to the northernmost part of the Mountaintops of the Gia
Once players get past the initial fear and shock of getting assaulted by giant hands, Caria Manor isn't so bad. The fact that it introduces one of the most terrifying enemies in the game makes it a memorable Legacy Dung
The other useful Spirit Ash is the Black Knife Tiche Ashes . Bosses have a difficult time hitting her, and her ranged attack drains health for a certain percentage. She can drain bosses for a stupid amount of damage if they leave her alone for too long. There are two main drawbacks to using her, though. The first is that she’s expensive to summon, requiring around 132 FP. The second is that she doesn’t draw aggro as often, so players will need to be more careful about avoiding hits. If she sounds useful, though, she can be obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia (accessed by progressing Ranni's questline ).
These aren’t exactly mandatory, but they do pair well with the above weapons. So, for starters, try to get the Shard of Alexander talisman, as it gives a big buff to the attack power of weapon skills. It can be obtained at the conclusion of Iron Fist Alexander’s questline. Next is the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman, which increases attack power if blood loss is inflicted upon an enemy. This can be won from Esgar, Priest of Blood in the Leyndell Catacombs . Another handy talisman is the Godfrey Icon ; this one buffs charged spells and skills.
In order to effortlessly kill the Fire Giant and progress in the story, all players have to do is lure him onto a short, rocky hill near the start of the fight . Then, with the help of ranged attacks , they need to aggravate the giant enough so that he swings his weapon, throwing himself off the hill and losing all of his HP in a pretty hilarious manner. This process needs to be repeated in the second phase of the battle. That particular boss cheese method is best depicted in this vid
At the moment, the consensus seems to be that there are three weapons that compliment a bleed build best: the Rivers of Blood katana, Eleonora's Poleblade and Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear . To get the Rivers of Blood , players will need to go to the Church of Repose on the Mountaintops of the Giants . Upon arriving there, a named NPC will invade. Defeat him to claim the katana. Eleonora's Poleblade can be obtained at Second Church of Marika on Altus Plateau .
As the name implies, the idea of a bleed build is to inflict as much blood loss damage as possible as quickly as possible. Aside from a handful of enemies and bosses, just about everything in Elden Ring Mobile Ring is susceptible to this which makes it very easy to get a lot of bonus damage when engaging otherwise beefy enemies. Many weapons can inflict blood loss, including the samurai starter weapon: the Uchigatana . Some are better at this than others though, so that'll be the first thing to take care of after doing a character re-spec.
As for weapon choice, the Eleonora's Poleblade does well against single enemies, but struggles against groups; use the katana or spear for those. The spear does well against massive enemies with exploitable blindspots, such as dragons, but its weapon art leaves the user exposed to smaller enemies/bosses with a high stagger threshold. The katana is good overall, so it’ll probably be one’s weapon of choice more often than not. Its drawback is that it leaves the user exposed if it doesn’t either kill or stagger the target with the opening series of slashes. In short, consider the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses and choose accordingly. The same goes for the Ash summons and the tears used in the Wondrous Physick. This build isn’t a guaranteed win every time, but it should make many encounters go much more easily once one gets used to it. So, why not give it a shot?
Castle Sol almost didn't make the cut as a Legacy Dungeon on this list since it's small. But the enemies there ensure that players spend hours dying. The ghost Banished Knights who keep teleporting are too overpowered and leave little room for trial and er
Most Soulsborne games demand that players find certain amounts of a particular upgrade material before they can improve the damage of their weapon. The Smithing Stone is what players require in Elden Ring , and trying to find these upgrade materials over and over again can feel cumbers
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
With this mod, summoning becomes better in many ways. They don't disappear after a boss and can be summoned multiple times without players having to rest. As a cherry on top, players can summon help in locations where they weren't permitted, which can make for some interesting combat scenarios in their own ri
