Golden Greatshield : One of the few Greatshields that's actually managed to improve with updates, Elden Ring 's Golden Greatshield is a phenomenal mid-late game shield, capable of tanking just about anything the game can throw at the player. Though the Golden Greatshield isn't quite as light as the Eclipse Crest Greatshield, its weight of 17.0 is still on the lower side when compared to the rest of its class. While the Golden Greatshield isn't the most sturdy option at first, upon being upgraded, it becomes one tough piece of gear, with a Guard Boost stat of 78. It doesn't have any special gimmicks, and it isn't quite as tough as the rest of the shields above it in this tier, but the Golden Greatshield is a great option for most heavier builds, especially when it can be easily farmed in both the Altus Plateau and Leynde

Much like the Weeping Peninsula battleground, each death here from either side will grant the player some Runes. There are quite a lot of them fighting on the walls. Players can also join in and take out the flyers while they're busy. Profiteering off of war isn't exactly ethical but Melina needs that sugar — sorry, Ru

Updated on August 5, 2024, by Mehrdad Khayyat: Farming Runes is still an important part of the gameplay loop in Elden Ring, and primarily the only easy hack to level up the character skills before venturing forth to the difficult regions of the g

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

Wooden Greatshield : Still not a bad shield, especially for Elden Ring 's early game, the Wooden Greatshield still offers good knockback on enemy attacks, but its defensive stats are much lower than the rest of the shields on this list, landing it right at the bottom. With only 91% physical damage negation and significant weakness to Fire, this shield isn't the most reliable for defense. However, its low weight and minimal stat requirements make it a viable situational option even for non-Strength buil

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

The first of these is the Guide Statues. These statues resembling a creepy old woman can be found all over The Lands Between and they always point to a dungeon. If one is encountered, make sure to approach and check it. If there's a button prompt, hit it and follow the ghostly trail of light that emerges; it'll surely lead to a nearby dungeon. If no button prompt appears, then one can (usually) rest assured that they've already cleared the area's most important hidden spot. Aside from the statues, it's usually just good to just be extra thorough and look for hidden drops or not-so-obvious dips in a cliffside. Unexplained concentrations of enemies are also a good indicator.

As a starting location, Limgrave offers a decent variety of optional bosses along with valuable loot. The region is also home to some easy-to-kill enemies that grant a decent amount of Runes. So, if anyone finds it difficult to beat Margit, The Fell Omen, or Godrick, The Grafted, there are some decent Rune farms in Limgrave to level up and return to the same fights stron

In a game as massive as Elden Ring, it's easy to miss a few bosses. Since many of them have valuable unique drops, it's worth it to go out there and get them felled before moving onto new gameplay features game plus. High-priority targets should include Erdtree Avatars, Deathbirds, Night's Cavalry and the Bell Bearing Hunters. Dragons, evergaol dwellers and NPC Invaders are all important too of course, but those are all best covered in another guide. Out of of those though, Black Knife Tiche and the Mimic Tear should be the top priorities.
