Ainsel River is where players start getting a glimpse of the vastness of Elden Ring 's underground area. It's a Legacy Dungeon that supplements the underground wonders brought about by Siofra River (a semi-open-world area). Ainsel River is sprawling, cryptic, and oppressive thanks to a certain mini-boss that's hard to k

This mod ensures that players don't need these elusive Smithing Stones to upgrade their weapons. As a result, players struggling against a boss can accumulate Runes to upgrade their weapons in no time and unleash a world of hurt against their foes in no t

Marika's Soreseal is a talisman that gives quite a boost as it adds five levels each to four attributes. Those stats would be Mind, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane. That's a total savings of 20 levels which is a lot of Runes, especially in late-game where level-up costs start to become exorbitant.

With a sprawling open world that is just begging to be explored, a lifetime's worth of deep, interesting lore, and an abundance of possible character builds, there are plenty of things Elden Ring deserves praise for. It is a FromSoftware game, though, and these titles have built their reputation on excruciatingly difficult (but also very satisfying) boss batt

The only issue with it is that it's too small for a Legacy Dungeon and an area governed by one of the demigods. If players are quick or experienced, they can rush this whole place in just five minutes— boss inclu

Players can lure out the giant first for a one-on-one and deal with the soldiers later. To the east is the Gatefront Ruins encampment full of lowly soldiers and wolves along with one tough knight (who can be avoided altogether). Both of these potential farming spots are just a few meters away from the Site of Grace; players can simply walk back to safety and rest if things go a

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 Murk Farm Nightreign 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

The Tombsward Catacombs is located in the Weeping Peninsula, making it one of the early game catacombs. The exact location is south of the Church of Pilgrims, and the cave has an open entrance. It’s just one room inside, sealed by a fog barrier. Use the Stonesword Key to get the Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [9] , which allows you to craft the Rancor Pot.

There's no shame in admitting defeat in Elden Ring , because, in hindsight, most players just seek tactics or strategies to make the game easier. Whether that's cheesing the boss fights with some unbalanced weapons or over-leveling, nearly every player is out to lessen the difficulty in one way or another. It just so happens that some of them don't have that kind of time and this is where easy mode mods can become a gods

To easily gain a significant advantage over any overworld boss, all players need to do is use ranged attacks from a high enough vantage point . Of course, it results in a very slow picking away at the enemy's health, but in most cases, it virtually eliminates the chances of getting hit or even aggravating the boss in the first pl

Once inside, and once the axe enemies are dealt with, players will find an Iron Whetblade which is crucial to optimizing a character build since it allows players to customize weapon scaling . There's also a Miséricorde and a Hawk Crest Wooden Shield in the same room, but those items are just small bonuses compared to the Iron Whetblade .

Updated August 20, 2024, by Hamza Haq: Despite being touted as the easiest FromSoftware game to date, the challenges in Elden Ring are no less than any of the Dark Souls games, as proven by the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC . Players looking to make their journey through the Lands Between a little easier by using mods have plenty of options at their fingertips. From mods that increase the player's own strength to those that reduce the effectiveness of the enemies, there is something for every

Crossbows need a little work in Elden Ring . They're certainly better than they were in the Dark Souls games , but they still need a little balancing. The deal with crossbows in games, traditionally, is they offer a trade-off to players; they are slower to reload but more accurate and damaging than bows. In Elden Ring , crossbows do quite a bit less damage than bows – even many light bows have higher damage rati

The dark cave is notable for housing the full Mushroom armor set whose helmet is quite substantial for some niche overpowered builds that can one-shot most bosses. Apart from that, players can also find the Kindred of Rot's Exultation in the cave which is also crucial for Poison or Rot builds. So players with uncommon builds will want to venture here ASAP.
