Consecrated Snowfield is something of a special case. Two Night's Cavalry will be guarding a Hearse near the Inner Consecrated Snowfield grace. Both riders must be defeated to get the drops. They leave the Night's Cavalry armor and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, so seek them out.

At the moment, the consensus seems to be that there are three weapons that compliment a bleed build best: the Rivers of Blood katana, Eleonora's Poleblade and Mohgwyn's Sacred Spear . To get the Rivers of Blood , players will need to go to the Church of Repose on the Mountaintops of the Giants . Upon arriving there, a named NPC will invade. Defeat him to claim the katana. Eleonora's Poleblade can be obtained at Second Church of Marika on Altus Plateau .


Verdigris Greatshield Almost comparable to the Black Steel Greatshield in potential, the Verdigris Greatshield is the second new Greatshield introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. What sets this shield apart is its emphasis on guard capacity rather than pure damage negation. At +10 upgrade level, the Verdigris Greatshield boasts a 90 Guard Boost, the highest of any shield in Elden Ring . Additionally, it comes with a unique skill called Moore's Charge, similar to Shield Crash but with one key difference: while it doesn't deal damage directly, it creates an AoE splash at the end of the charge that can knock down multiple enemies. The tradeoff for its high stats against physical, Fire, and Magic damage is its considerable weight of 28.0 (second only to the Fingerprint Stone Shield) and a staggering Strength requirement of 49, the highest in the game.

Golden Greatshield : One of the few Greatshields that's actually managed to improve with updates, Elden Ring 's Golden Greatshield is a phenomenal mid-late game shield, capable of tanking just about anything the game can throw at the player. Though the Golden Greatshield isn't quite as light as the Eclipse Crest Greatshield, its weight of 17.0 is still on the lower side when compared to the rest of its class. While the Golden Greatshield isn't the most sturdy option at first, upon being upgraded, it becomes one tough piece of gear, with a Guard Boost stat of 78. It doesn't have any special gimmicks, and it isn't quite as tough as the rest of the shields above it in this tier, but the Golden Greatshield is a great option for most heavier builds, especially when it can be easily farmed in both the Altus Plateau and Leynde

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.
