Elden Ring’s latest DLC, Shadow of the Earth Tree, has captivated players with its new challenges and rewards. If you’re aiming to swiftly level up a new character to experience all that the DLC offers, you’re in the right place. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently farm runes so you can jump into the DLC content without delay.
The Gold Scarab Talisman
First things first, equip yourself with the right tools for efficient Elden Ring runes farming. The Gold Scarab Talisman is your best friend here, increasing rune acquisition by a substantial 20%. To acquire this talisman, venture into the Abandoned Cave in Kage, a challenging area filled with poison-spewing Mushroom Men and rot-spewing flowers. Navigate through this hazardous environment to face a double boss fight against two Clean Rot Knights. While formidable, especially depending on your level, the reward of the Gold Scarab Talisman makes it worth the effort.
Maximizing Rune Yield
Armed with the Gold Scarab Talisman, it’s time to pinpoint the best locations for rune farming in Elden Ring.
-
Beastial Scta in Kid
Located in the northeastern part of Kid, Beastial Scta is renowned for its lucrative rune drops. To reach it swiftly, use a teleporter near the Third Church of America in Limgrave. Beware of the challenging Black Blade Kindred guarding the area; however, you can avoid unnecessary combat by sneaking past them. Focus on eliminating Vulgar Militia Men, enemies known for dropping a generous 1000 runes each. They may be small but pose a significant threat, so stealth kills are recommended to avoid being overwhelmed.
-
Moog’s Palace Region
Another prime spot for rune farming is in the Moog’s Palace region, accessible through the advancement of White Mask Beret’s questline. Utilize the Pure Blood Knight’s Medal provided during this questline to teleport just outside Moog’s Palace. Instead of entering the palace, navigate around it, crossing the treacherous Lake of Blood. Stick close to the cliff to evade attacks from a giant skeleton lurking nearby. Ascend a hill past the Red Albanner and approach the Sight of Grace known as The Palace. Here, you’ll encounter White Albanner, ideal targets for backstabbing to gain 244 runes per kill. Be cautious, as nearby Red Albanners are more aggressive and can inflict substantial damage.
Alternative Rune Farming Methods
If conventional farming isn’t your style, consider these alternative approaches to amassing runes in Elden Ring:
-
Boss Summoning Signs
Place your gold summoning sign outside boss rooms and wait to be summoned by other players. This method allows you to repeatedly battle bosses for substantial rune rewards. Focus on placing signs outside challenging or late-game boss arenas for maximum rune yield.
-
Defeating Gry the Dragon
For a high-risk, high-reward scenario, confront Gry the Dragon near Fort Faro in Kalid. This formidable dragon won’t attack directly but will summon other dragons upon sensing danger. There are two strategies for defeating Gry: a slow, methodical approach focusing on its tail or legs, or a more aggressive strategy targeting the smaller dragons nearby. Each smaller dragon slain reduces Gry’s health, eventually leading to a significant rune reward of approximately 60,000 runes and five Dragon Hearts upon her defeat.
Conclusion
With these strategies in hand, you’re equipped to swiftly accumulate runes in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Earth Tree DLC. Whether you prefer stealthily dispatching enemies for runes or confronting mighty dragons for substantial rewards, these methods ensure you’re prepared to delve deep into the new content without delay.
