If you’re looking for specific secrets to look for as you traverse the Midlands, you’ll want to check back in a few days for some ways to find some hidden areas and bosses. Today, we’ll introduce you to some strategies to get the most out of your exploration in the vast open world and old dungeons you’ll experience on your journey and solve the puzzle. like how some of the more general concepts work. Obviously, if you’re looking to dive into the wonderful world of Elden Ring completely spoiler-free, now’s the time to stop reading.
God Runes, How Do They Work?
When you defeat one of the Elden Ring shards of demigods, you’ll receive their god runes. However, to activate it, you will also have to locate and climb a magic tower in the link area. Depending on the demigod, they can be very easy to find in the surrounding territory and easy to locate on the map. However, some demigod towers are quite hidden and require a lot of exploration to discover. You may even have to delve into some of the smaller dungeons to find your way. Once you climb the divine tower and activate the god rune, you can then use the Arc Rune to activate its associated powers, which can include live leeches, massive HP boosts, buffs to all the leeches. your stats and more. These summoner spells grant considerable power but expire upon death. Yes, that makes them similar to Emiding in Dark Souls III; however, you have more options in which buff to apply. If you find yourself in need of Rune Arcs, the mouse will drop them quite often, and you can buy them from a variety of characters around the world.
How to get Boss weapons and armor
Okay, so you’ve managed to take on one of the big bosses. Now you want to put on their armor and be able to pick up their weapons or spells. What is an adventurer for? Go to the Reservation Roundtable – there’s an empty room that you may not have checked before. Here you can withdraw your “boss souls” for special weapons and spells, as well as purchase complete armor sets for runes. Now, what if you wanted more than one weapon or boss spell to complete your party? Because you only get one token from the boss, right? Here’s what you do – go out into the open world and find one of the giant bell-ringing stone monsters walking on land. Jump on the Torrent, and clean their paws by smashing skulls. Be careful, because they can and will completely crush you if they step on you. Once cleaned, the giant ferocious beasts will stay put and allow you to climb inside. Here you can make a copy of the boss tokens to get more joins or just crush them to get more runes. Interesting!
Light is possible
The first journey to the Limgrave may see you using torches to see in some of the darker caverns that dot the landscape. However, this is an annoying obstacle that takes up one of your hands. Instead, look for a lantern as soon as possible that you can easily attach to your hip to light up any area without using your hands! This will be especially useful when you’re diving into late-game dungeons and other dark areas where you’ll need everything at your disposal. There are a number of different places to buy a lantern, but you can find one early at the Isolated Seller’s Shack at Weeping Penosystem in the South Limgrave, far to the West and on the coast . This seller also sells a lot of other useful things like Stonesword Keys, so it’s a good place to buy some runes early.
Upgrade Your Equipment (And Summon!)
One of the most important things you can do in Elden Ring is level up your weapons. Standard weapons can be upgraded to +25 and special weapons up to +10. To do this, you need special materials that you can often find in abundance in mines around the world. However, you may find yourself needing a lot of these mats, especially since you may want to level up a lot of weapons and experiment. Since you can run out of a certain level of upgrade materials, the best way to ensure your supply never runs out is to keep running sub-dungeons around the world, especially mines. . By completing certain mines you will receive a bell bracelet which you can submit at the Round Table Holder which will unlock different levels of upgrade materials for purchase, which means you can bring tons of weapons to level up without tracking materials all day. This also extends to your summoner array, as you can find bell bearings that allow you to buy mawort and other materials needed to upgrade summons, generally at the end of dungeons. Can’t figure out how to summon? Head to Ellah Church (where the homemade smithy and supplier Kale is) after you get the Torrent and the ability to level up, and meet new characters there. She will give you the bell to take advantage of this feature. Constantly leveling up your gear will ensure you can cope with the challenges to come! If you’re a heavy melee builder and don’t have the power to summon some of the coolest named summons, don’t worry – there are several summons that will let you instead with my HP group!
Swap arts and hobbies
Got a really cool weapon but you don’t like the special skill? Change it! Yes, you can attach skills like Quickstep to use Bloodborne fully for anything if you want! The system is highly customizable but at first it seems difficult to work with. You’ll discover tons of Ashes as you progress, and you can mix and match them with your weapons. Perhaps more importantly, you can also change the nature of the weapons, allowing them to scale differently or be harder. The weapons in the Elden Ring scale with your stats. Take a construction that requires heavy dexterity? Swap your sword’s attributes and make it scale with heavier dex than power. This system can be confusing at first, but it allows for unparalleled customization opportunities. This is a big plus – if you don’t feel like messing with this system, you don’t have to, as many of the unique weapons in the game have their own special moves that can’t be swapped or changed. change. No problem!
Go somewhere else
A lot of players are trying to take down the brute defiant bosses. While you can certainly do this, a more fun and rewarding option is to go exploring. I know this seems obvious to the open world, but sometimes you really get stuck with the old ways of just smacking your boss in the face over and over again. I mean, that can be fun, but go around! Even if you think you’ve completely explored an area and searched for every piece of debris, there may be a portal or secret passage that can take you to another realm entirely. The world is huge, and there are often ways to get around what seems like a requirement to proceed. Break things down and experiment!
Crafting can make a difference
Create things and work on your Flask of Wondrous Physick options. One of your first goals is to travel to the Eastern Limgrave to get to Marika’s Third Church and pick up the Flask of Wondrous Physick. This modular booster grows throughout the game as you unlock rich options, usually from killing Erdtree bosses. Some of the stronger buffs you can get in Pots allow you to basically absorb all hits for free and auto heal when your health is low, which is great for taking on a tough boss nag. Perfume and vases are extremely handy in combat; there is a perfume that allows you to soak in the whole breeze. Combining it with Flask, which is like two completely immune hits in a boss fight, can make life so much easier! And that’s just the surface, as you can craft a huge amount of consumables to complement your gameplay. Buy and choose every recipe you see. You never know when you might want to do something!
