As the name implies, the idea of a bleed build is to inflict as much blood loss damage as possible as quickly as possible. Aside from a handful of enemies and bosses, just about everything in Elden Ring is susceptible to this which makes it very easy to get a lot of bonus damage when engaging otherwise beefy enemies. Many weapons can inflict blood loss, FromSoftware body horror including the samurai starter weapon: the Uchigatana . Some are better at this than others though, so that'll be the first thing to take care of after doing a character re-spec.

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

Not every Tarnished will be capable enough to put on the entire Bull-Goat Set in Elden Ring , as it is by far the heaviest armor in the original game, granting the highest Poise value and unparalleled physical defense. It is also quite potent when facing fire-damaging enemies, although one might consider better options with lesser wei

Found in one of the last Legacy Dungeons in the game, this bizarre headpiece can boost all bubble-based skills in addition to giving a large Holy damage negation boost. Specifically, the Envoy Crown can be found in Miquella's Haligtree , which can be accessed via the north of the Consecrated Snowfi

Seeing as the Mimic Tear will have the exact same equipment and skills as the player character upon entering the arena, the best way to nerf it is by unequipping all weapons and armor before starting the fight . Once inside, all one has to do is quickly put these items back on and tear apart the naked, defenseless Mimic Tear in a matter of seco

The spot where Melina first talks to the players (usually the Gatefront Ruins Site of Grace) is also one of the best early areas for farming some Runes. Because nearly every direction the players go there can lead to clusters of enemies. To the west, just past the Stormgate, there's a giant and several foot soldiers just wait

Location: Three pieces of this set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable Hold after defeating Commander Gaius at the back of the Shadow Keep. To get Gaius's Greaves, players need to kill the lone Wolf Rider enemy found at the same locat

The Tree Sentinel Set is also located in the Auriza Hero's Grave in Leyndell, Royal Capital, where the Crucible Axe Set is found. However, instead of fighting a boss to acquire it, players must destroy all three Chariot traps inside the tomb. Fans can refer to our full guide to make obtaining this armor set eas

As for weapon choice, the Eleonora's Poleblade does well against single enemies, but struggles against groups; use the katana or spear for those. The spear does well against massive enemies with exploitable blindspots, such as dragons, but its weapon art leaves the user exposed to smaller enemies/bosses with a high stagger threshold. The katana is good overall, so it’ll probably be one’s weapon of choice more often than not. Its drawback is that it leaves the user exposed if it doesn’t either kill or stagger the target with the opening series of slashes. In short, consider the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses and choose accordingly. The same goes for the Ash summons and the tears used in the Wondrous Physick. This build isn’t a guaranteed win every time, but it should make many encounters go much more easily once one gets used to it. So, why not give it a shot?

There are three different versions of Morgott in Elden Ring : one can be found at the entrance to Stormveil Castle, one is located in the outer wall of Leyndell, and one is found at foot of the Erdtree, at the end of Leyndell itself.

From there, they can climb the massive Erdtree root ahead of them and wind along its path until coming to a balcony and a waiting boss door. Here, players will need to face the ghost of the First Elden Lord, Godfrey. After defeating the boss, they can move up to the Queen's Bedchamber Site of Grace and then up the long stairs from there to face Morgott, The Omen King.

Simply lure each one with a throwable knife and fight them one by one. That's 5,000 Runes; conveniently enough, Warmaster's Shack is nearby and has a Site of Grace. A word of warning: don't farm these five trolls at night ; a Deathbird boss will appear and it's a rather tough fight for new play

The Crucible Tree Set and Crucible Axe Set armor sets in Elden Ring are nearly identical, with only slight differences in helmet and chest armor details. These two sets are among the best in the game for facing enemies that deal high Holy damage. They offer the same resistances as the Tree Sentinel Set but with significantly less weight, making them essential for any melee build. This is especially true when venturing into the Shadow of the Erdtree , where many enemies rely heavily on Holy dam

Players don't even need to engage the regular-sized enemies at the back of the caravan. Attacking the two trolls will stop the caravan and the players will be free to poke at the trolls without interruption from the rest of the caravan (assuming they stay at the front). The best part is that these trolls are weakened by their chains and can't do much to retaliate apart from the usual stomp. That's an easy 2,000 Runes . Killing the caravan guards will add 1,000 extra Runes to the total earnings. Just rinse and rep
