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
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
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
Luckily for players who don't mind resorting to a little bit of trickery, the battle can be made much easier by preventing one of the opponents from reviving the other one. Either one of the Godskins is programmed to revive Teammates Strategies their fallen partner in less than a minute, but as Reddit user Karolus2001 discovered , players can prevent them from doing so by breaking the boss's poise as he starts the revival process, effectively turning the rest of the fight into a much more manageable 1v1 fight. This requires precise timing, but it's certainly easier than taking both Godskins on at the same t

This one is a simple, clever way to defeat the Mimic Tear optional boss. Moreover, it has nothing to do with actual combat. Players with strong menu navigation skills will have no trouble pulling off this cheesing strat

Many Elden Ring players getting through the game for the first time find themselves getting stuck at the Godskin Duo battle in the Crumbling Farum Azula. While the Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble are individual, optional bosses that can be encountered on multiple occasions throughout the game, fighting both of them at the same time is a mandatory ordeal for all those who want to see one of Elden Ring's endi
Fire Knight's Shortsword : One of the best Elden Ring daggers added in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is this Fire damage-infused dagger. The Fire Knight's Shortsword scales very well with Faith and the Flame infusion, which boosts its Fire damage further. There are a lot of Fire resistant enemies in the DLC, but this is a great one to bring back to the base g
Despite being an optional boss, most Elden Ring players will cross paths with Commander O'Neil and his archers, either by accident or while following Millicent's quest line. When encountered in early to mid-game, he can pose quite the challenge. As an overworld boss, though, he can be led away from the battle arena straight into the Scarlet Rot-ridden swampla
Glintstone Kris : The Glintstone Kris grants players an interesting ability called "Glintstone Dart," but as far as a Sorcery spell in Elden Ring , it's fairly underwhelming. It may be useful in the early game, but any player building Intelligence will quickly find a better alternat
Although not a Sorcery itself, the Meteorite Staff is one of the best early-game weapons for Sorcerers in Elden Ring . Requiring only 18 Intelligence, the Meteorite Staff has S Int Scaling and grants a 30% boost to the power of Gravity Sorcer
