Compared to some other boss cheese methods listed here, this one requires a few extra steps on the player's part. First of all, it requires Rotten Breath , which is a Dragon Communion Incantation obtainable in exchange for a Dragon Heart at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion . This means that in order to be able to cheese Maliketh this way, one needs to have killed at least one dragon earlier on in the g

The Silver Tear Mask can be acquired when the Tarnished defeats the Mimic Tear boss in Nokron, Eternal City. This helmet has an excellent Holy damage negation. But be warned, while this helmet massively enhances the wearer's Arcane stat by 8, it will also reduce the Tarnished's Physical damage. Therefore, the Tarnished will probably want to give this one a pass if they are playing a Strength bu

Eclipse Crest Greatshield : Aside from not being the most exciting shield visually, the Eclipse Crest Greatshield may just be the best shield in Elden Ring . A low weight of 15.0 allows most builds to wield it easily, it blocks 72% of Magic damage , and has a high guard boost of 67, meaning that less stamina is drained per hit absorbed. On top of all this, the Eclipse Crest Greatshield also passively adds 50 points to the user's Immunity, Robustness, and Fo

The Gaius's Set is another heavy armor set added in Shadow of the Erdtree and is among the best overall from a defensive standpoint. While it isn't the heaviest set, it offers excellent protection against physical and fire damage, along with a high poise value. The only potential drawback is its specific appearance, which may not appeal to all players. Mixing parts of this set with other chest armor could be the way to go if fans are aiming for a more stylish Tarnis

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 Royal Knight Set is a late-game armor that has goofy legs, so it's understandable if it's not that appealing as a fashion option. Stat-wise, the armor is pretty decent for something that doesn't weigh too much. It has well-rounded defenses

Contrary to popular belief, lightning can strike twice in the same place, and in Elden Ring , it can strike much more than that, especially if the enemy is a cheating spammer like those late-game dragons. Against such enemies who are intent on turning the Tarnished into lightning rods, it helps to prepare some countermeasures, and armor stands out as the most accessible among th

To obtain these sets, players need to progress further in the game, reaching either Deeproot Depths or Leyndell, Royal Capital. The full Crucible Axe Set is dropped by the Crucible Knight Ordovis boss at the end of the Auriza Hero's Grave. For the Crucible Tree Set, players must defeat the Crucible Knight Siluria boss in Deeproot Depths and search the chest he gua

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

Players can obtain the Omen Set by defeating Dung Eater in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath the Leyndell Royal Capital. Alternatively, if players choose to follow his questline , they can retrieve this armor from his body at the conclusion of his st

Obtaining this set is no easy feat, as it involves defeating Commander Gaius , a formidable boss encountered at the back entrance of Shadow Keep. Gaius charges at players almost immediately upon entering the arena, making for a menacing battle. Interestingly, after defeating Gaius, players can't purchase the full set from Finger Reader Enia. To complete the set and obtain Gaius's Greaves, players need to search the area accessible after the boss fight and defeat the lone Wolf Rider enemy, who drops the final pi

The Preceptor's Set is a pretty good choice for any Intelligence build in Elden Ring , as it has a light weight and grants some of the best Lightning, caligo Everdark leak Fire, and Magic damage resistances in the entire game. It also looks rather stylish, with its menacing mask and wide-brimmed hat, though it can hamper the player's v

Getting it is also simple. Players can head over to the northernmost part of the Altus Plateau. They can grab the armor set near some dancing women which is also near a windmill located north of the Road of Iniquity Side Path Site of Grace (the one with the large broken bridge north of Altus Plate

Depending on how much you want to invest into Endurance, you will likely need to use one of the four Arsenal talismans that can be found throughout the Lands Between (the Great-Jar's version being the strongest). The best arrows to use with the Starscourge build are Radahn's Spears, as they gain a boost to damage when paired with this weapon specifically.
