The third Church of Marika is located in Western Limgrave just north of the Mistwood Ruins. It's a rather peaceful spot except for a lone troll walking around near the entrance of the ruined church . It just so happens that these trolls give 1,000 Runes per k


The function of this mod should be pretty self-explanatory. Runes are what fuel everything in Elden Ring 's economy, from a player's level to the items they can obtain. The distribution of these Runes is pretty balanced, which means that players can only farm Runes over and over again before they get bo

Getting to Mohg is a bit more convoluted than getting to Morgott as players will need to enter and get through Mohgwyn Palace, which is a notoriously punishing zone that's relatively hidden. Players can either progress White-Faced Varre's quest and use the Pureblood Knight's Medal to instantly teleport there, or use a Waygate in the Consecrated Snowfield , located Northwest of Yelough Anix Ruins.


Co-op in Elden Ring is present like in older Souls games, but it's quite limited here. Certain spots in the game are off-limits for co-op play; Torrent will be unavailable, and defeating bosses will punt co-op partners back into their world. Elden Ring 's Seamless Co-op mod aims to remove those restricti

Updated August 13, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : Now that the Elden Ring DLC has been out for a while, it's no secret that General Radahn makes a return at the end of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, as Miquella's consort, and as the final boss. His new armor set and weapons can be purchased after defeating this version of Radahn, and this guide has been updated to reflect these new Elden Ring General Radahn build options.
