<br>Updated September 4th, 2024 by Jacob Buchalter: Even after the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC dropped, most of the 'overpowered' weapons in Elden Ring kept their spots in the rankings.

There are two different Mohgs in Elden Ring : one can be found below Leyndell, in the Shunning Grounds barring a secret entrance to the Deeproot Depths, and one can be found atop Mohgwyn Palace, an endgame area devoted to the Formless Mother and the Mohgwyn Dynasty. The Shunning Grounds version of Mohg is actually a Shade, while the real version – the one that drops Mohg's Great Rune – is found in Mohgwyn Palace.

In the watery base or bottom of Mt. Gelmir, players will find a locked cave guarded by some pesky Basilisks . Players will need to deal with these cretins first since they can catch players off guard while they're opening the Stonesword Gargoyle. Beyond that, there aren't many threats in the area that can hinder players from getting to Seethewater Cave.


Among the mage armors in Elden Ring , Azur's Glintstone Set is one of the best options for dealing with enemies and New Bosses Elden Ring who wield Lightning damage. This armor is particularly valued by magic builds, not only for its strong defense, but also for its striking appearance, highlighted by a large green glintstone on the helmet and several smaller ones on the shoulders. Additionally, the set's crown increases the damage of powerful spells such as Comet Azur, Glintstone Cometshard, and Comet (at the cost of increased

Summonwater Village is easy enough to access, it's along the big main road on Stormhill , just east, near the Limgrave-Caelid border. It's a ruined town dominated by the Tibia Mariner . That's not too worrying as the boss is a pushover— one of the weakest in the game.

It's quite the long and perilous journey to traverse the difficult Leyndell, Royal Capital after players have entered the city's walls. Once you make it to the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace, exit a door to the Southwest and hop down to the right, onto an old horse stable.


Inverted Hawk Towershield : There's nothing wrong with the Inverted Hawk Towershield, being another good shield across the board, and taking minimal effort to farm, but there's also nothing too special about it, landing it on the B-tier of this list by default. Highlights of this Greatshild are its good Magic and Holy resistances. However, players should be prepared for an exceptionally low drop rate. Even with a Discovery of around 250, our experience suggests that farming for this unremarkable shield can take approximately 50 minu


The secret to obtaining this greatbow is only just now beginning to get out among Elden Ring players. It involves using a bow to drop large pots on the moving chariot trap in the Tomb of Knowledge. The Erdtree Greatbow stands out among the bows by splitting its damage between physical damage (60) and Holy damage (65). As a greatbow, this weapon also has excellent ra

It's by far the most useful and overpowered Spirit Ash in the game, as it makes a literal copy of one's character (but with lower damage and higher HP). This Spirit Ash can make the toughest of boss fights manageable without virtually any big drawback. One Stonesword Key is a small price to pay for this superweapon in Elden Ring .


Bows and other ranged weapons are generally not the best weapon in games like Elden Ring , since there is more of a focus on melee combat. Bows, crossbows, and cannons are slow, it's easy to miss, they require ammunition, their damage generally is low, and many ranged weapons are not compatible with the best Ashes of War , which upgrade equipment. That being said, these weapons have their uses, and players will come across situations where ranged tools are the most efficient weapon for dispatching enem


The Arbalest has a few aspects that some players might want to exploit. The first is that the Arbalest has relatively low Dexterity requirements . This allows more character builds to make use of this weapon as their preferred distance weapon. This weapon also reloads faster than one would expect from an oversized Heavy Cross

Inside this cellar room, players will find a Godskin Prayerbook which grants access to Black Flame Incantations and also the Godslayer's Seal . It's one of the most powerful sacred seals in the game, and it also buffs Black Flame Incantations so this area is significant for certain pyromancer builds.

Once defeated, players can then enter the Divine Tower of East Altus and use the elevator to reach the top. There, they will find the Great Rune activation spots for both Morgott's and Mohg's Great Runes side by side.
