Speaking of more trolls, Stormhill is a lovely area full of those walking behemoths. One area, specifically south of Warmaster's Shack, has five of these trolls standing near a cliff . They're also evenly spaced out so players don't need to fight multiple trolls all at the same time — though doing that is faster but risk

Castle Ensis can be found directly northeast of Ellac's Greatbridge north of the Three-Path Cross Site of Grace in the Gravesite Plains. This area is accessible as soon as players set foot in the Land of Shadow and doesn't require clearing Belurat, Tower Settlement beforeh

Updated August 6, 2024, by Hamza Haq: All FromSoftware games eventually turn into a tug-of-war between the developers making their bosses harder and harder and the players trying to break the game with overpowered weapons and cheese strategies. Anything truly broken is patched out of the game within a month or so, but balancing is tricky, and there is no way to completely get rid of every overengineered strategy there is. With the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, a ton of new weapons , spells, ashes of war, and other items have upended the status quo into something completely fresh once again. And with that come new ways to cheese bos

Not all armor in Elden Ring is protective, of course. In fact, one might even be surprised to learn that armor sets with the most metal parts tend to make for terrible lightning insulation. That kind of adherence to elementary-level science in Elden Ring doesn't bode well for players who want to protect themselves against one of the most troublesome damage types in the game. Thankfully, these armor sets are good excepti

Castle Sol almost didn't make the cut as a Legacy Dungeon on this list since it's small. But the enemies there ensure that players spend hours dying. The ghost Banished Knights who keep teleporting are too overpowered and leave little room for trial and er

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

The Queen of the Full Moon Set has a ridiculous headpiece and questionable physical defense, but all that is excused once players use it against mage enemies or dragons. The Queen of the Full Moon armor boasts one of the most consistently resistant stats in the g

The third Church of Marika is located in Western Limgrave just north of the Mistwood Ruins. It's a rather peaceful spot except for a lone troll walking around near the entrance of the ruined church . It just so happens that these trolls give 1,000 Runes per k

This is quite an embarrassing exploit, seeing as it has to do with a phase of the very final boss battle in Elden Ring: the fight against Radagon of the Golden Order and the Elden Beast. Looking at the game's patch history and the pride FromSoftware takes in its boss battles, it is honestly quite surprising that it has only been patched in August 2022, nearly six months after the game's release d

To the southeast of Gatefront Ruins, along the road, there should be a bridge. Players can cross that bridge and keep going until they see two trolls pulling a large black caravan . Tailing the troll caravan is one Kaiden horseman and several commoner enemies and foot soldiers who easily die in one to two h

Among the mage armors in Elden Ring , Azur's Glintstone Set is one of the best options for dealing with enemies and bosses who wield Lightning damage. This armor is particularly valued by magic builds, not only for its strong defense, but also for its striking appearance, highlighted by a large green glintstone on the helmet and several smaller ones on the shoulders. Additionally, the set's crown increases the damage of powerful spells such as Comet Azur, Glintstone Cometshard, and Comet (at the cost of increased

The last method of obtaining the Nagakiba involves very little effort compared to the other methods, and it's asking for it (for free or from a trade) from other players online. It's obviously a pretty 'lame' way of getting this weapon, but not everyone wants to do entire NPC questlines for a singular weapon. Additionally, for those of you on NG+ runs or on new characters, this method is understandably less involved and easier to do. In any case, if someone agrees to the 'trade', players can create a private game and have someone else drop their spare or unwanted Nagakiba katana in-game.

One of the heaviest armor sets in the game, the Fire Prelate Set grants almost unparalleled Poise and defense, not only against Physical damage but also against Lightning and Fire. It is one of the armors in Elden Ring that gives one's character an 'oversized' l
