A great heavy armor set that players can obtain in two variants throughout the game, the Banished Knight Set offers robust Fire damage negation, very high poise, and serious physical defense. What's even better is that this is one of the best armor sets in Elden Ring players can get very early in the game by farming Banished Knight enemies in certain areas, like the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Cae

The Moonveil Katana scales primarily with Dexterity and Intelligence and rewards a playstyle that mixes close-quarters swordplay with midrange spellcasting. The Ash of War that comes with Mooveil is Transient Moonlight, which lets players launch a powerful (and cheap) magic arc that scales with the weapon's upgrade level . Equipping Moonveil requires at least 18 Dexterity, 12 Strength, and 23 Intelligence, which isn't a lot considering the high-tier scaling and skill that comes with it.

It's a tough fight, but Dark Souls players will immediately recognize the movement patterns of this Augur Boss Difficulty as being like that of the Gaping Dragon. Its charge attack, where it stomps across the room leaving lava in its wake, can be avoided the same way as this iconic Dark Souls boss: don't roll, just sprint at a 90-degree angle away from its path as best as possible.

Elden Ring is a massive game, so chances are good that it’ll take more than one playthrough to see everything. Seeing as how starting new game plus in Elden Ring is as easy as resting at the Roundtable of Lost Grace and selecting the "Begin Journey 2" option, it can be tempting to do so without making any preparations. Don’t do that. There are certain things that can only be done with most of the map accessible and most of the stores unlocked. If one wants to start new game plus on the best possible footing, there are a few steps that should be taken first.

The Greatsword of Radahn (Lord) and (Light ) are both rewarded after beating Radahn at the end of Shadow of the Erdtree . Indeed, once you beat this incredibly difficult final DLC boss, you can purchase his full armor set, called the Young Lion's set.

Also, make sure to also find all the Walking Mausoleums and duplicate any Rememberances one might have on hand. In general, secret bosses Rememberances should take priority since they're more difficult to seek out, but then it's more about what one does and doesn't want to do in their next playthrough. Don't want to beat a boss again but do want all their stuff? Duplicate. Going to fight 'em again? Maybe don't duplicate. In case it's needed, here's a list of Walking Mausoleum locations, just remember that only the ones with bells are able to duplicate major boss rememberances.


Updated August 6, 2024, by Hamza Haq: With the release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, FromSoftware has introduced a plethora of new weapons, armor pieces, talismans, ashes of war, and, of course, shields. Among them, two stand out in terms of their holy damage negation, giving players looking to counter holy damage-dealing enemies more options to choose from. Considering that the hardest boss in all of Elden Ring primarily deals holy damage during his second phase, this is excellent news, especially because one of the two new shields handily dethrones the previous best shi

Deathbirds (and Death Rite Birds) are worth taking-out for two reasons: they're too ugly to be left alive, and they give all sorts of interesting loot. Some drop weapons, others drop shields, while still others drop talismans and other stuff. It's worth hunting down all eight monstrously hideous birds, but encountering them often depends on the time of day.


However, in a game where death can come at a moment's notice, some players would love the idea of using items that can save them from a tough spot, especially if they are aware of exactly what said thing does in the game. In this regard, Detailed Item Descriptions will prove to be a great help, even if some people feel like it goes against the spirit of what FromSoftware's titles are all ab

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.


Players can easily acquire the Gilded Iron Shield by looting a corpse sitting on a grave outside the Church of Pilgrimage towards the West in Weeping Peninsula. Players can refer to the above image to see the exact location of the shi

Having high Vigor is essential to surviving in Elden Ring , so be sure to regularly put a point or two into this stat as you level up. Having a high Mind stat lets you use Moonveil's Ash of War more before running out of FP, and a split 40 in Dex and 45 in Int takes advantage of the weapon's scaling effectively.


The Crossed-Tree Towershield is one of the better-looking Greatshields in Elden Ring , perfect for players who focus on the Fashion Souls aspect of the game. Nonetheless, the Crossed-Tree Towershield is a robust shield that can protect its wielder from Holy damage (66). But there's more to this Greatshield than the Holy Damage Negation. It also has 66 Fire Damage Negation, making it the ideal choice to use against The Fire Gia
