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

The Meteorite Sorcery is very similar to the Rock Sling one as both spells use gravitational magic. While The Rock Sling can hit multiple enemies, Meteorite is better used against big foes like bosses in Elden Ring , as the caster will be able to summon a meteor rain from the sky. The Spell does require 30 Intelligence, so keep that in m

Luckily for players who don't mind resorting to a little bit of trickery, the battle can be made much easier by preventing one of the opponents from reviving the other one. Either one of the Godskins is programmed to revive their fallen partner in less than a minute, but as Reddit user Karolus2001 discovered , players can prevent them from doing so by breaking the boss's poise as he starts the revival process, effectively turning the rest of the fight into a much more manageable 1v1 fight. This requires precise timing, but it's certainly easier than taking both Godskins on at the same t

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

Also, make sure to also find all the Walking Mausoleums and duplicate any Rememberances one might have on hand. In general, secret bosses Rememberances should take priority since they're more difficult to seek out, but then it's more about what one does and doesn't want to do in their next playthrough. Don't want to beat a boss again but do want all their stuff? Duplicate. Going to fight 'em again? Maybe don't duplicate. In case it's needed, here's a list of Walking Mausoleum locations, just remember that only the ones with bells are able to duplicate major boss rememberances.

One can always use their favorite Ash summon, but there are a couple that are particularly good for fighting bosses near the end of the game. The first is the Mimic Tear Ashes of course. It doesn’t do a ton of direct damage like it did at Elden Ring’s outset, but it still has plenty of health and excels at distracting the enemy. Better yet, the summon uses all of your equipped weapons and items, meaning it can help trigger blood loss on enemies. If one doesn’t already have it, it can be fought and obtained near Nokron.

The other useful Spirit Ash is the Black Knife Tiche Ashes . Bosses have a difficult time hitting her, and her ranged attack drains health for a certain percentage. She can drain bosses for a stupid amount of damage if they leave her alone for too long. There are two main drawbacks to using her, though. The first is that she’s expensive to summon, requiring around 132 FP. The second is that she doesn’t draw aggro as often, so players will need to be more careful about avoiding hits. If she sounds useful, though, she can be obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia (accessed by progressing Ranni's questline ).

In order to effortlessly kill the Fire Giant and progress in the story, all players have to do is lure him onto a short, rocky hill near the start of the fight . Then, with the help of ranged attacks , they need to aggravate the giant enough so that he swings his weapon, throwing himself off the hill and losing all of his HP in a pretty hilarious manner. This process needs to be repeated in the second phase of the battle. That particular boss cheese method is best depicted in this vid

Elden Ring 's bosses are no different. Intimidating and hard to beat, some of these creatures have stopped players in their tracks plenty of times. Thankfully, just like in any other Soulslike title, there are certain clever exploits, i.e. "cheeses," that can turn these formidable bosses into dust in a matter of seconds. While some of the more hardcore fans will vehemently disapprove of using these in any circumstances, they can come in handy for players who simply want to progress furt

Deathbirds (and Death Rite Birds) are worth taking-out for two reasons: they're too ugly to be left alive, Duo Expeditions Mode and they give all sorts of interesting loot. Some drop weapons, others drop shields, while still others drop talismans and other stuff. It's worth hunting down all eight monstrously hideous birds, but encountering them often depends on the time of day.
