Once all the remaining high-priority bosses have been dealt with, players may want to consider channeling their efforts into sniffing out any remaining dungeons. While this may seem easier said than done, there are a couple of ways to hone-in on their locations.
The expansion has introduced two new powerful Greatshields, and with the latest balance patches, Elden Ring's post-launch content appears to be wrapped up. While the Greatshield tier list has remained largely accurate since the game's release, some entries have been expanded with additional details about their strengths and updated rankings reflecting both the base game and its DLC. Additionally, images for every Greatshield in the game have been added to the list for better clar
Lordsworn's Shield : A pretty good early-game Greatshield , the Lordsworn's Shield can be farmed fairly easily at the Gatefront Ruins, and has a surprisingly good guard boost of 60, but its low physical damage reduction of 94% and fairly weak Elemental resistances lands it in the C-tier. On the bright side, it weighs only 10.0 and has one of the lowest stat requirements. Still, it may only be worthwhile for low-level players who lack better alternati
This does more damage per shot than all other crossbows except the Arbalest and Pulley Crossbow, and the latter only does one point of damage more per shot. The Heavy Crossbow is also very stable when used on horseba
Ant's Skull Plate : The Ant's Skull Plate is a striking and memorable Greatshield, fashioned from a beheaded creature. 100% physical damage negation, and some decent elemental reduction, the Ant's Skull Plate is a good piece of defensive gear, but it truly shines as a weapon. While also boosting the player's immunity by 50 points, this shield inflicts 90 points of poison build-up per hit, making it a rare and lethal poisonous weapon in Elden Ri
Having completed each of these steps, the time to start new game plus will have arrived. After clearing all available bosses, acquiring all available gear/spells/incantations and stocking up on rare items, The Tarnished should be all set for another, hopefully much smoother, journey through The Lands Between. One more tip: go and immediately wreck Grafted Scion, Tree Sentinel, Flying Dragon Agheel and Margit the Fell Omen. Paying them back in full for all the early game pain suffered at their hands is beyond satisfying.
To get Crepus' Black-Key Crossbow, Elden Ring players must must use a Stonesword Key on the Imp Statue Roundtable Hold. Head to Hewg and look for the stairs that lead to the lower level. The Stonesword Key door is around the cor
Even as early as the tutorial area , players can spot one of those foggy Stonesword-locked passages. It's near the Stranded Graveyard Site of Grace , just standing in front of the site. If players are fresh in a New Game playthrough at single-digit levels, it's not advised to unlock this as the whole dungeon is a gauntlet of death and despair.
To find the Triple Rings of Light, head out of the Prayer Room in Elphael, Brace of The Haligtree, and jump down to the right. Go northeast and drop to the lower floor again to find the sealed room behind you. Use a Stonesword Key on the Imp Statue and open the chest to obtain the Triple Rings of Light .

Black Steel Greatshield : One of the two new shields introduced in Shadow of the Erdtree , the Black Steel Greatshield, is unsurprisingly powerful, quickly earning a spot as one of the best Greatshields available to players. Wielded by the formidable Black Knights, the most loyal servants of Messmer the Impaler, this shield is both menacing and stylish, symbolizing an unyielding force of iron conviction. Despite its heavy weight of 19.5, the Black Steel Greatshield offers 100% physical damage negation and boasts one of the highest defenses against Holy damage, with a base value of 84 that can be increased to 105 when infused with Sacred. This makes it unparalleled for battles against bosses that deal substantial Holy damage, such as Promised Consort Radahn. To obtain this shield, players must defeat Black Knight Garrew, located at Fog Rift F
The main advantages of the Soldier's Crossbow are its low stat requirements and light weight , which can make it a decent offhand option for some unique builds. It's particularly useful for aggro-pulling and enemy separation tactics, thanks to its decent range. While far from remarkable, it can serve a niche role for players seeking a simple, lightweight ranged t
