Completing the Unsightly Catacombs will reward players with many valuable items including two Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring Libra boss Ring . The Winged Misbegotten Ashes is found in the room before the lever that unlocks the boss room, while the Perfumer Tricia Ashes is obtained upon defeating the catacombs’ boss.

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.


Much like the Weeping Peninsula battleground, each death here from either side will grant the player some Runes. There are quite a lot of them fighting on the walls. Players can also join in and take out the flyers while they're busy. Profiteering off of war isn't exactly ethical but Melina needs that sugar — sorry, Ru

Gain a couple of dozen levels though and come back with a Stonesword Key, and it becomes manageable. Inside is a death chariot puzzle and a boss enemy near the end. That would be the troublesome Ulcerated Tree Spirit but it drops a Golden Seed so the venture is worth it.


Elden Ring 's bosses are no different. Intimidating and hard to beat, some of these creatures have stopped players in their tracks plenty of times. Thankfully, just like in any other Soulslike title, there are certain clever exploits, i.e. "cheeses," that can turn these formidable bosses into dust in a matter of seconds. While some of the more hardcore fans will vehemently disapprove of using these in any circumstances, they can come in handy for players who simply want to progress furt


Crucible Hornshield : A disappointing Greatshield, the Crucible Hornshield looks incredible, but its functionality doesn't really match. Though it can pack a punch as a weapon, its elemental damage negation and guard boost aren't great, and don't quite justify the lofty requirements. While it offers decent Holy resistance, the Crucible Hornshield falls short in almost every other area. With so many superior alternatives available, it remains more of an aesthetic choice for players who value style over funct


Dragon Towershield : Requiring slightly less Strength to wield than most of the shields on this list, the Dragon Towershield still offers good elemental damage absorption, and a base guard boost of 69, which is more than worth the trade-off. Players may want to consider switching this Greatshield for another option when facing enemies that deal significant amounts of Lightning damage. One common strategy for enhancing this shield is to infuse it with fire when facing formidable bosses like Messmer the Impaler , providing a crucial defensive edge in bat

The Rampart Tower in Stormveil Castle is an important location as it serves as a hub for some secret areas that interconnect. One of those is a Stonesword lock room filled with two enemies that wield greataxes. They're not too tough to defeat. To get to this room, refer to the images below.


Luckily, there are ways to minimize the burn degree in Elden Ring . Armor is the most available and the least disruptive method of protecting oneself against Fire damage. Some players can probably guess an armor set's Fire protection from appearance alone. Those flammable rags won't do; for better fireproofing, these armor sets ought to keep the temperature d

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.

While exploring Nokstella, Eternal City players are bound to stumble upon a large blocked room that’s near the giant Silver Sphere. The room is concealed by fog so head to the Imp Statue and use a Stonesword Key to unveil it.

The dark cave is notable for housing the full Mushroom armor set whose helmet is quite substantial for some niche overpowered builds that can one-shot most bosses. Apart from that, players can also find the Kindred of Rot's Exultation in the cave which is also crucial for Poison or Rot builds. So players with uncommon builds will want to venture here ASAP.

It might not look like it, but Elden Ring is also a resource-management game. The most valuable resource, of course, is that red HP bar that needs to be spent wisely in boss fights. What other resources need careful consideration before splurging? Keys. Stonesword Keys , in particular. Opening locked passages that require Stonesword Keys is like a box of chocolates, players never know what they're getting.

Climb the stairs and defeat the enemies to use the Stonesword Key on the statue. You will immediately get ambushed by an Imp, so be careful. Approach the item and pick it up to get the Nox Mirrorhelm . It’s a helmet usually worn by those who committed high treason and is incredibly weak against Strike damage.
