To get Crepus' Black-Key Crossbow, Elden Ring players must must use a Stonesword Key on the Imp Statue Roundtable Hold. Head to Hewg and look for the stairs that lead to the lower level. The Stonesword Key door is around the cor

In general, Magic Glintblade and Rock Sling should be more than enough to make your Moonveil Katana build more effective. Magic Glintblade should be cast before entering combat, or during lulls, while Rock Sling is great if an enemy can be easily staggered or is resistant to Magic damage.

Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : When it comes to the best Bows in Elden Ring, players have a lot of choices to sort between. Though there are less than a dozen of any one Bow type, you have Short Bows, Longbows, Crossbows, and all of the other sub-types, there's a lot of options when it comes to the best Elden Ring bows. This guide to All Bows in Elden Ring, Ranked has been updated to include some more detailed location information for each entry to help players hunt down these best Elden Ring Bow weapons more efficiently and get their ranged builds going fas

Black Knife : The Black Knife hits S-tier primarily for its ability, Blade of Death. Despite a cumbersome animation, the Blade of Death ability does a hefty amount of damage and applies a damage-over-time eff

Main-gauche : Similar to the Wakizashi and Parrying Dagger, the Main-gauche unlocks a unique duel-wielding moveset when equipped in the off-hand – but only when you are wielding a Thrusting sword. Its innate ability to Parry attacks makes it great for offensive playstyles that suit a dual-wielding playstyle, but being found deep in the DLC makes it hard to acquire, and its stricter requirements to unlock the moveset make it less appealing than a Wakiza

The Warrior Jar Shard (and the Shard of Alexander) greatly increase the damage that weapon skills and Ashes of War can deal. The Godfrey Icon enhances charged Spells and Skills, too. These two combined can do much to increase the damage output of Moonveil, but ultimately the boosts to FP reduction and Bleed damage will prove more useful in more situations.

The Scaled Set is a more serious version of the Mushroom set for those who want armor that can actually tank multiple sources of damage. It has a lot more poise and the same Magic defense. The downside? It's a lot heavier. In fact, it's one of the heaviest medium-heavy armor sets in the g

At the very least, the Mushroom Set makes for an excellent defensive countermeasure against magically inclined enemies in PvP or against those nerds in Raya Lucaria Academy. As a bonus, players get to be as light as a pack of button shro

Fire Knight's Shortsword : One of the best Elden Ring daggers added in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is this Fire damage-infused dagger. The Fire Knight's Shortsword scales very well with Faith and the Flame infusion, which boosts its Fire damage further. There are a lot of Fire resistant enemies in the DLC, but this is a great one to bring back to the base g

Erdtree Avatars drop crystal tears for the flask of Wondrous Physic, which can grant the player various unique buffs upon consumption. Since there are so many potential builds and situations in Elden Ring, it's worthwhile to get as my tears as possible before starting a new run. There are seven avatars in total and they can be found in the following locations:

In a game as massive as Elden Ring, it's easy to miss a few bosses. Since many of them have valuable unique drops, it's worth it to go out there and get them felled before moving onto new game plus. High-priority targets should include Erdtree Avatars, Nightreign Trading Deathbirds, Night's Cavalry and the Bell Bearing Hunters. Dragons, evergaol dwellers and NPC Invaders are all important too of course, but those are all best covered in another guide. Out of of those though, Black Knife Tiche and the Mimic Tear should be the top priorities.

Elden Ring is a massive game, so chances are good that it’ll take more than one playthrough to see everything. Seeing as how starting new game plus in Elden Ring is as easy as resting at the Roundtable of Lost Grace and selecting the "Begin Journey 2" option, it can be tempting to do so without making any preparations. Don’t do that. There are certain things that can only be done with most of the map accessible and most of the stores unlocked. If one wants to start new game plus on the best possible footing, there are a few steps that should be taken first.

In a title like Elden Ring , where bosses are enormous and their attacks tend to have absurd range, it takes a special kind of player to willingly choose a dagger. In truth, based solely on their short reach alone, daggers are probably one of the most difficult weapons to use in all of Elden Ring . However, when paired with a lighter equipment load, the right Ash of War choice, and a bit of cunning, daggers can actually be one of the most rewarding weapons to
