There's no shame in admitting defeat in Elden Ring , because, in hindsight, most players just seek tactics or strategies to make the game easier. Whether that's cheesing the boss fights with some unbalanced weapons or over-leveling, nearly every player is out to lessen the difficulty in one way or another. It just so happens that some of them don't have that kind of time and this is where easy mode mods can become a gods
Elden Ring is a difficult game. That's not too surprising considering Elden Ring is from the same people who gave the world Dark Souls , as well as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice . Anyone who's played a game in the Souls series knows how difficult they can
Instead of getting Mighty Shot, like the Composite Bow, the Red Branch Shortbow has the Barrage skill. This skill allows a weapon to fire much faster than normal. In general, this skill isn't as desirable as Mighty Shot, although Barrage does have one advantage. A barrage of arrows has a much better chance of inflicting a status ailment on an enemy than a single s
For a faster clearing operation, summon some Spirits and charge at these heathens. Players don't even need to fight the Pumpkin Head as he's too far away to join. Killing those Misbegotten enemies over and over again in an epic AI battle is always a fun spectacle and an enjoyable Rune farming met
In a title like Elden Ring , where bosses are enormous and their attacks tend to have absurd range, it takes a special kind of player to willingly choose a dagger. In truth, based solely on their short reach alone, daggers are probably one of the most difficult weapons to use in all of Elden Ring . However, when paired with a lighter equipment load, the right Ash of War choice, and a bit of cunning, daggers can actually be one of the most rewarding weapons to
Bows and other ranged weapons are generally not the best weapon in games like Elden Ring , since there is more of a focus on melee combat. Bows, crossbows, and cannons are slow, it's easy to miss, they require ammunition, their damage generally is low, and many ranged weapons are not compatible with the best Ashes of War , which upgrade equipment. That being said, these weapons have their uses, and players will come across situations where ranged tools are the most efficient weapon for dispatching enem
This mod ensures that players don't need these elusive Smithing Stones to upgrade their weapons. As a result, players struggling against a boss can accumulate Runes to upgrade their weapons in no time and unleash a world of hurt against their foes in no t
As a light armor, the Noble's Set isn't too impressive in terms of Poise value or Physical defense, but it offers great lightning and magical defense and can be worn by almost any build with a limited equip l
Such armor is also worn by one of Fia's champions, but he doesn't drop this set after the fight. With its high weight , players should expect great Poise and Physical damage negation, and Lionel's Set doesn't disappoint. On top of that, it grants one of the best murk farm Nightreign stats for lightning, fire, and magic defense, making it useful in various combat encount
Bloodstained Dagger : A great no-nonsense choice. Since it's a basic weapon, it can be upgraded to +25 with regular Smithing Stones , but unlike the basic Dagger, it passively applies Bleed. Not only that, but when combined with another Ash of War, the Bloodstained Dagger can apply multiple status effe
Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : When it comes to the best Bows in Elden Ring, players have a lot of choices to sort between. Though there are less than a dozen of any one Bow type, you have Short Bows, Longbows, Crossbows, and all of the other sub-types, there's a lot of options when it comes to the best Elden Ring bows. This guide to All Bows in Elden Ring, Ranked has been updated to include some more detailed location information for each entry to help players hunt down these best Elden Ring Bow weapons more efficiently and get their ranged builds going fas
Contrary to popular belief, lightning can strike twice in the same place, and in Elden Ring , it can strike much more than that, especially if the enemy is a cheating spammer like those late-game dragons. Against such enemies who are intent on turning the Tarnished into lightning rods, it helps to prepare some countermeasures, and armor stands out as the most accessible among th
This is a great crossbow to use until the Crepus' Black-Key Crossbow, Full Moon Crossbow, or Pulley Crossbow are found. The Heavy Crossbow does significantly more damage than the standard Crossbow; however, the Strength and Dexterity requirements are only slightly hig
Cinquedea : The only useful thing that the Cinquedea does is boost Bestial Incantations—which are relatively lackluster—but as it stands that passive ability cannot outweigh the relatively poor base stats and inability to upgrade it without using Somber Smithing Stones. It's also in a difficult hidden location in Elden Ring that, as of Patch 1.03, is currently near impossible to obt
