It's not just good armor against Magic but also when fighting enemies that love to burn their victims. The Preceptor's Set is Preceptor Seluvis' armor. Despite being mere cloth, it's actually a great countermeasure against elemental and magic damage in Elden Ri

Players can't go wrong with this armor. It works well against any kind of Sorcery or Incantation and the high poise makes it ideal for trading hits, especially in PvP. In any case, do remember to grab this good armor after defeating Loretta's original f

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

The Light Crossbow gives players the ability to deliver as much damage as the Shortbow but at a much longer range. The drawback of the Light Crossbow, with all Crossbow-type weapons in fact, is the Weapon Skill . The Kick skill is only useful in very specific circumstan

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

The Light Crossbow is also a more stable weapon than the various classes of bows. Unfortunately, this doesn't negate the fact that all longbows have better damage and range than this weapon. Archer builds will want to replace this with a better weapon as soon as possible, but it's not a bad weapon over

Similar to Miquella's Haligtree, Crumbling Farum Azula is a late-gamer area. While the scenery is imaginative and amazing, this dungeon's platforming reveals the worst thing about Elden Ring 's movement scheme: its controls and cam

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

This weapon has the Mighty Shot weapon skill. The Mighty Shot skill does a lot more damage than a standard shot but requires the player to draw the bow back fully before firing. This is the only light bow with the Mighty Shot skill. Since the Composite Bow is faster than most other bows, it allows the player to fire Mighty Shots faster than the larger bows that typically get this sk

Midra's Manse can be found at the far edge of the Abyssal Woods. To get her, players will first need to take the hidden ladder behind one of the flaming boats in the area just before the bridge leading to the Storehouse, First Floor Site of Grace.

Do be aware that the guards are not friendly and will send catapult fire down the player's approach. There's a teleporter before the great bridge, but it only unlocks after a certain point during Ranni's questl

It really is a toss-up as to which bow is better for a starting player: the Shortbow or the Longbow. The latter offers higher damage and a moderately better weapon skill. Conversely, the Shortbow gives the user a faster rate of fire and has far lower stat requirements, Strength (8) Dexterity (10), than the Long

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
