To reach the Church of Vows where Miriel is encountered for the first time, Tarnished must defeat Godrick the Grafted or take a shortcut around the castle to arrive at Liurnia of the Lakes. Next, keep going north until you see a path leading to the eastern Liurnia of the Lakes. Take it and proceed northwest to find the Church of V

Apart from the scenery and the main boss of this Legacy Dungeon , there's really nothing new in Miquella's Haligtree or in Elphael. It's an area filled with recycled monsters which would have been fine, but it seems the developers picked the most annoying and least-balanced enemies and dumped all of them in this late-game a

Fingerprint Stone Shield : A shield that verges on being broken, the Fingerprint Stone Shield is infuriating to play against but incredibly satisfying to use. With a whopping guard boost of 81, a player holding this shield can keep blocking for a staggering amount of time. To make it even better, the Fingerprint Stone Shield also has some of the best elemental blocking on any shield in Elden Ring , and when used as a weapon, this shield even causes 50 points of Madness build-up. The only trade-off is that this shield is the heaviest in the game. Even after five months of updates, various nerfs, and reworks, the Fingerprint Stone Shield remains one of the most infuriating , satisfying weapons to use in the entire game. Though players have found a few workarounds to those using the Fingerprint Stone Shield, the weapon still claims victory in the vast majority of scenarios, whether it's through actual skill or just sheer dumb l

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

Jellyfish Shield : A decapitated head of one of Elden Ring 's adorable Jellyfish creatures , the Jellyfish Shield is one of the best Greatshields in the entire game. With an incredibly low weight of just 8.0, the Jellyfish Shield can be wielded by a good variety of build types. While blocking 100% physical damage, the Jellyfish Shield's Weapon Skill, "Contagious Fury," is by far its most unique, and helpful asset, boosting damage by 20% for 30 seco

Cuckoo Greatshield : The Cuckoo Greatshield is an excellent option for those looking to absorb some Magic damage , but unfortunately, it's outshone by the Eclipse Crest Greatshield in just about every way. Still, this shield remains a great one for Magic and Holy defense if the player hasn't found the Eclipse Crest yet. Another appealing aspect is its stunning design, which pairs seamlessly with many medium and heavy armor sets, allowing for a stylish and cohesive character appeara

Runes replace the Souls and Blood Echoes FromSoftware veterans are familiar with . It works near-identically, meaning that players should invest their Runes wisely instead of getting greedy and hoarding as much of this valuable resource as possible. So, it's only a given that players who lose their hard-earned Runes will be quite peeved by this developm

There are a couple of lions here as enemies and not much apart from a few characters, a missable duo boss fight, and Radahn himself. Despite the lack of activities within this area, visiting the place from time to time (or for the first time) is always a pleasure due to the hauntingly impressive music and scen

Crossed-Tree Towershield : Another shield that doesn't technically have anything wrong with it all, the Crossed-Tree Towershield is yet again Greatshield that lands in the B-tier by default, having decent stats, but being outshone by most of the other shields on this list. Nevertheless, with strong resistances against Fire and Holy damage, a decent Guard Boost, a sleek design, and easy accessibility, it's no surprise that this Greatshield has its share of dedicated f

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

It's then topped off with a boss fight that's equally ridiculous as it forces players to summon or resort to specific tactics that invalidate their character build. The saving grace here (no pun intended) is the reward from the boss and the castle's treasu
