Not all armor in Elden Ring is protective, of course. In fact, one might even be surprised to learn that armor sets with the most metal parts tend to make for terrible lightning insulation. That kind of adherence to elementary-level science in Elden Ring doesn't bode well for players who want to protect themselves against one of the most troublesome damage types in the game. Thankfully, these armor sets are good excepti
Once everything is ready, it’s time to go out and fight. What to use will come down to personal preference, but there are a couple of important things to keep in mind. The primary means of dealing damage with these weapons is their weapon arts, so one is going to spend the majority of their time in combat exposed. So, use careful timing when launching an art since it can be interrupted during the wind-up by most enemies and also mid-attack by enemies possessing a high stagger threshold. If one needs to go on the defensive, switch to the spear and hide behind a medium-size shield, if possible.


This hood might lower overall HP but no other headpiece matches its Holy damage defense. It also looks amazing on any Tarnished looking to defeat a God. Along with its amazing Holy defense, it also offers +2 to Intelligence and Faith, making it an excellent choice for sorcerer bui

These aren’t exactly mandatory, but they do pair well with the above weapons. So, for starters, try to get the Shard of Alexander talisman, as it gives a big buff to the attack power of weapon skills. It can be obtained at the conclusion of Iron Fist Alexander’s questline. Next is the Lord of Blood's Exultation talisman, which increases attack power if blood loss is inflicted upon an enemy. This can be won from Esgar, Priest of Blood in the Leyndell Catacombs . Another handy talisman is the Godfrey Icon ; this one buffs charged spells and skills.


Wooden Greatshield : Still not a bad shield, especially for augur Boss difficulty Elden Ring 's early game, the Wooden Greatshield still offers good knockback on enemy attacks, but its defensive stats are much lower than the rest of the shields on this list, landing it right at the bottom. With only 91% physical damage negation and significant weakness to Fire, this shield isn't the most reliable for defense. However, its low weight and minimal stat requirements make it a viable situational option even for non-Strength buil

Once again, a named NPC will invade and players must defeat them to get the weapon. As for Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear, they’ll have to travel to Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum and defeat the Lord of Blood himself in order to get his weapon. All of these weapons are not necessary to have on hand, but they make for a nice range of options. Of the three, though, Rivers of Blood is the most usable, so go for that one at the very least. Of course, these will all need to be upgraded in order to get the full effect.

Defeat it and then look around in the ruined buildings for a basement preceded by a Stonesword lock. Inside this basement or underground cavern is a chest that contains the Green Turtle Talisman . It's a lifesaver of a talisman since it increases stamina recovery speed. For some melee characters or builds, this might even be necessary.
