Elden Ring: The Best Places To Unlock First With Stonesword Keys

Glintstone Kris : The Glintstone Kris grants players an interesting ability called "Glintstone Dart," but as far as a Sorcery spell in Elden Ring , it's fairly underwhelming. It may be useful in the early game, but any player building Intelligence will quickly find a better alternat

Getting to Marika's Soreseal Room is a little hard. From the Prayer Room Site of Grace , players will have to run past the knights and jump down a beam to the right (the one connected to a bell tower). They have to go down from the bell tower to the area with the Erdtree Avatar .


Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : The best Daggers in Elden Ring are those that come with some kind of special effect or unlock a unique moveset, but many of the game's daggers are useful in the right hands with the right build. With the addition of several new DLC daggers, Elen Ring players have some more choices when it comes to the best Elden Ring Daggers. This Elden Ring Dagger tier list has been updated to include the Main-Gauche and Fire Knight's Shortsword, as well as to include some new details on Daggers available in the base g


Speaking of more trolls, Stormhill is a lovely area full of those walking behemoths. One area, specifically south of Warmaster's Shack, has five of these trolls standing near a cliff . They're also evenly spaced out so players don't need to fight multiple trolls all at the same time — though doing that is faster but risk

There will be a fog gate and a Gargoyle lock that requires two Stonesword Keys, players need to unlock them and drop down to check each broken floor until they see a corpse with loot. One of those corpses has the Dagger Talisman .


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


The Meteorite Sorcery is very similar to the Rock Sling one as both spells use gravitational magic. While The Rock Sling can hit multiple enemies, Meteorite is better used against big foes like bosses in Elden Ring , as the caster will be able to summon a meteor rain from the sky. The Spell does require 30 Intelligence, so keep that in m


To obtain the Night Maiden's Mist, Tarnished must purchase it from Gowry for 5,000 Runes in Sellia, Town of Sorcery, after completing his quest. Although Caelid is next to Limgrave, it's not considered a suitable area for early players, but you can get there early on and grab some powerful items to facilitate the journey in easier ar


The spot where Melina first talks to the players (usually the Gatefront Ruins Site of Grace) is also one of the best early areas for farming some Runes. Because nearly every direction the players go there can lead to clusters of enemies. To the west, just past the Stormgate, there's a giant and several foot soldiers just wait


Reduvia : Perhaps the best part about Reduvia is that it's available in the early game. It drops after players defeat the invader Bloody Finger Nerijus, and its value is immediately apparent. It has everything: excellent stat scaling, Bleed, and a handy unique weapon skill that allows players to fight at ra

In the easternmost part of the Consecrated Snowfield, right at the frozen river , players can find the Cave of the Forlorn. The Augur Boss Difficulty in this area is cheap since it's just a reused Misbegotten Crusader enemy and the cave is also home to some reused Misbegotten enemies though one could argue that their being there is lore-friendly.

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


Updated on August 5, 2024, by Mehrdad Khayyat: Farming Runes is still an important part of the gameplay loop in Elden Ring, and primarily the only easy hack to level up the character skills before venturing forth to the difficult regions of the g


To the southeast of Gatefront Ruins, along the road, there should be a bridge. Players can cross that bridge and keep going until they see two trolls pulling a large black caravan . Tailing the troll caravan is one Kaiden horseman and several commoner enemies and foot soldiers who easily die in one to two h


Magic Glintblade is one of the Sorceries given at the start of the game for the Prisoner class in Elden Ring . If players choose another class, you can purchase it for 3000 Runes from Miriel, Pastor of V


In terms of base stats, the Red Branch Shortbow and the Composite Bow are identical. They both deal the same amount of damage (65), they both have the same range (29), and they both have the same Strength and Dexterity scaling. The only major difference between the two is their weapon ski
