But if they do, then they can be picky about which Stonesword locks (or imp statues) to unlock. Because some of them might have disappointing rewards or are simply not worth the danger and the effort. So, in order to maximize those Stonesword Keys in Elden Ring , make sure to prioritize unlocking these places first. They contain either useful meta items or lead to some big, secret places.

In a game as massive as Elden Ring, there are any number of ways to build one’s character and engage the many powerful boss enemies that inhabit The Lands Between. For most of the game, one really can’t go wrong with how they develop their character, but that may not be entirely true when it comes time to confront the final few bosses near the end. Unless one possesses truly top-tier skills, this is probably the time to re-spec into a more-focused build capable of using one’s loadout to the fullest. There are many of these to choose from of course, but one that focuses on bleed is probably the most effective for struggling players. So, let’s get into it.

Moonveil has the Transient Moonlight Ash of War, which allows its wielder to cast one of two special attacks after entering stance. With the light attack button, after holding down your input for the Ash of War, you will send forth a short-range beam of magic horizontally. With the heavy attack follow up, you will launch a vertical slice of magic forward quite a distance. Both of these special attacks deal significant damage and are extremely useful against both groups of enemies and single-target bosses.

An Uchigatana or side Wakizashi will prove invaluable for the dual-wield setup until these end-game Katanas are available . Just be sure to equip Moonveil in the right hand to be able to use the Transient Moonlight Ash of War.

The first of these is the Guide Statues. These statues resembling a creepy old woman can be found all over The Lands Between and they always point to a dungeon. If one is encountered, make sure to approach and check it. If there's a button prompt, hit it and follow the ghostly trail of light that emerges; it'll surely lead to a nearby dungeon. If no button prompt appears, then one can (usually) rest assured that they've already cleared the area's most important hidden spot. Aside from the statues, it's usually just good to just be extra thorough and look for hidden drops or not-so-obvious dips in a cliffside. Unexplained concentrations of enemies are also a good indicator.

By this point in the game, one will likely be in the low to mid-hundreds as far as their level goes, so there should be a lot of points available for a re-spec. All the weapons typically employed by this build scale on Arcane, so that will be the stat focused most. Assuming a level 130 character, the stats should be something like this:

As for Bell Bearing Hunters, there are four in total, they all appear at night, and they're all inexplicably tough. As with all the previously-mentioned boss enemies, though, the rewards are often worth it. Each hunter awards a special bell bearing upon its defeat, enabling players to gain easy access to high-level materials and more. Track them down at the following locations and bring that A-game; they'll punish anything and everything less.

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.
