To unlock the seal of the Converted Fringe Tower in Liurnia of the Lakes, find the spare Glintstone Key in Raya Lucaria and give it to Sorcerer Thops to earn the Erudition gesture.

Head to the tower and use the gesture while wearing the headpiece to unlock the seal and gain access to the chest at the

All four methods each have their own pros and cons, and it's up to the Tarnished to determine which serves their urgency and purpose the best. For the uninitiated, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is an NPC in Elden Ring who plays a small part in one of the endings.

The Starscourge Greatsword and Lion Greatbow are each rewards for trading in Radahn's Remembrance, but you can only do this once per Remembrance. Head to a Walking Mausoleum to duplicate the Remembrance of the Starscourge so you can get both of these weapons in a single playthrough.


Redmane Castle barely counts as a Legacy Dungeon because it's quite small and there's not much to do in the area. However, the whole place is oozing with atmosphere and history. It's Radahn's castle and supposedly Caelid's bastion before Malenia nuked the whole contin


Lake of Rot and the city of Nokstella were probably awesome on paper. In practice, it's just players skipping the content by running past them in order to avoid Scarlet Rot and all the tedious enemies. While the city of Nokstella is rewarding thanks to enemies that drop Larval Tear, the Lake of Rot area is neither fun nor challeng

Main-gauche : Similar to the Wakizashi and Parrying Dagger, the Main-gauche unlocks a unique duel-wielding moveset when equipped in the off-hand – but only when you are wielding a Thrusting sword. Its innate ability to Parry attacks makes it great for offensive playstyles that suit a dual-wielding playstyle, but being found deep in the DLC makes it hard to acquire, and its stricter requirements to unlock the moveset make it less appealing than a Wakiza

In a title like Elden Ring , where new bosses Elden Ring are enormous and their attacks tend to have absurd range, it takes a special kind of player to willingly choose a dagger. In truth, based solely on their short reach alone, daggers are probably one of the most difficult weapons to use in all of Elden Ring . However, when paired with a lighter equipment load, the right Ash of War choice, and a bit of cunning, daggers can actually be one of the most rewarding weapons to


Similar to the previous Sorcery, the Glintstone Arc is obtained the same way; Astrology class starter Sorcery, obtained from Sorceress Sellen, or Thops. If, by any chance, Thops is dead because you completed his quest in Elden Ring , take his Bell Bearing and give it to the Twin Maiden Husk to purchase the sp

The confrontation with Yura (as well as Nerijust) will be a tough fight, especially if you're under-leveled, but thankfully like most NPC encounters in Elden Ring , both of these fighters can be easily stun-locked or staggered. You'll also probably want to touch the Grace inside Murkwater Cave before starting this fight (which houses the Patches questline ) for an easy respawn area in case Yura wipes the floor with you.

However, Yura's questline can be quite long compared to a lot of other NPC questlines and will require you to unlock/reach the Altus Plateau, which is unofficially considered a mid-game area in Elden Ring . Once you encounter Yura at the Second Church of Marika in the Altus Plateau and talk to him, the Nagakiba is yours. To complete this questline in full, you'll need to meet with and help Yura out a number of times, so let's break down exactly what's involved in this questline below:

Celebrant's Sickle : A decent option for farming runes since the Celebrant's Sickle grants an additional 10 runes on hit, but with the widespread availability of better rune farms in Elden Ring , there is very little reason to use the Celebrant's Sic

In terms of the best General Radahn spells, which imitate his moveset in his boss fight, pick up Rock Sling and Collapsing Stars from the base game, as well as Gravity Well and Gravitational Missile. In the DLC, pick up the Ash of War: Spinning Gravity Thrust to imitate one of General Radahn's most infamous attacks.
