Now for some big-brain risky moves. Those who have ventured a bit into Agheel Lake will have been dissuaded by the nasty dragon who wants to use them as a landing pad. This inopportune moment can be turned into an advantage; players simply need to lure the dragon, Agheel, into crabs and other enemies within the l

All the weapons compatible with this build have a bit of wind-up for their skills, so this one can help. Grab it from the Golden Lineage Evergaol located to the southwest of the Grand Lift of Dectus on the Altus Plateau . If one has unlocked a fourth talisman slot, then just put whatever suits the situation best. Most often though, either a damage negation or FP increasing talisman is what works well in this slot.


The third Church of Marika is located in Western Limgrave just north of the Mistwood Ruins. It's a rather peaceful spot except for a lone troll walking around near the entrance of the ruined church . It just so happens that these trolls give 1,000 Runes per k

Once all the remaining high-priority bosses have been dealt with, players may want to consider channeling their efforts into sniffing out any remaining dungeons. While this may seem easier said than done, there are a couple of ways to hone-in on their locations.

This guide to the best Moonveil build Elden Ring players can put together has been updated to provide more details on these recommendations, including new information on the weapons' requirements and scaling, the most useful Sorceries, and more.


The Solitude Set is the best armor added in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Holy damage protection. Beyond that, it's an excellent armor set overall, offering outstanding protection against all types of damage in Elden Ring , along with extremely high Poise and Physical defense. Naturally, this level of protection comes with significant weight, but given how far into the game players must progress to obtain it, this may no longer be an is

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:

Deathbirds (and Death Rite Birds) are worth taking-out for two reasons: they're too ugly to be left alive, 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.

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.

As the name implies, the idea of a bleed build is to inflict as much blood loss damage as possible as quickly as possible. Aside from a handful of enemies and bosses, just about everything in Elden Ring is susceptible to this which makes it very easy to get a lot of bonus damage when engaging otherwise beefy enemies. Many weapons can inflict blood loss, including the samurai starter weapon: the Uchigatana . Some are better at this than others though, so that'll be the first thing to take care of after doing a character re-spec.


The first supposed brick wall that players will face in Elden Ring is Margit, the Fell Omen , just waiting to ambush some poor ambitious fool just outside Stormveil Castle. Players will soon realize that they'll need more levels one way or another if they are to defeat Margit without much frustrat
