Elden Ring: Greatshields Tier List

Revision as of 23:19, 5 November 2025 by Nora68489817209 (talk | contribs)


Castle Ensis is a letdown in many ways as there is not much going on in this Legacy Dungeon. It features a relatively linear path with little to no hidden secrets, no backtracking and no reason to revisit the area after it has been clea

The first of these is the Guide Statues. These statues resembling a creepy old woman can be found all over The Lands Between and they always point to a dungeon. If one is encountered, make sure to approach and check it. If there's a button prompt, hit it and follow the ghostly trail of light that emerges; it'll surely lead to a nearby dungeon. If no button prompt appears, then one can (usually) rest assured that they've already cleared the area's most important hidden spot. Aside from the statues, it's usually just good to just be extra thorough and look for hidden drops or not-so-obvious dips in a cliffside. Unexplained concentrations of enemies are also a good indicator.


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


Similar to Miquella's Haligtree, Crumbling Farum Azula is a late-gamer area. While the scenery is imaginative and amazing, this dungeon's platforming reveals the worst thing about Elden Ring 's movement scheme: its controls and cam

General Radahn was a master of Gravitational Sorcery and an imposing, terrifying warrior in close combat. Being a heavy bruiser and a master of Sorcery is a tricky business to build stats around, but with the right tools it's not impossible to blend these polar opposites.

General Radahn's armor is only unlockable after defeating the Starscourge, and his greatsword and bow can only be unlocked by trading in his Remembrance with Enia. To purchase the full Radahn armor set, speak with Enia after the battle to find each piece (head, chest, legs, hands) for sale. They are very heavy but very protective, so be sure you have points in Endurance to be able to dodge roll.


Clever's Moveset Modpack adds the entire gamut of cleverraptor6's (mod author) mods in a single package. Each mod in the pack adds a completely new moveset, a fully realized build, and unique weapons to work with these movesets. By their very nature, these movesets are much more powerful than vanilla Elden Ring Nightreign DLC Ring , promising players a much easier time handling anything the game can throw at t


Broken into three categories, Elden Ring 's shields range from being barely worth the pickup to being a must-have for most builds. The game's Greatshields mostly belong to the latter category, offering an unparalleled level of protection against Elden Ring 's bosses and deadly environments. In true FromSoftware fashion, Greatshields also make for some pretty brutal weapons at ti


The only issue with it is that it's too small for a Legacy Dungeon and an area governed by one of the demigods. If players are quick or experienced, they can rush this whole place in just five minutes— boss inclu


Wooden Greatshield : Still not a bad shield, especially for Elden Ring 's early game, the Wooden Greatshield still offers good knockback on enemy attacks, but its defensive stats are much lower than the rest of the shields on this list, landing it right at the bottom. With only 91% physical damage negation and significant weakness to Fire, this shield isn't the most reliable for defense. However, its low weight and minimal stat requirements make it a viable situational option even for non-Strength buil


On the other hand, the platforming sections (specifically the one on the pipes with imps) are too overdone. Moreover, putting giant lobsters in a small area is just unnecessary torture. But even then, a lot of players will appreciate the cleverness that went into designing this vast dung

Deeproot Depths: hangs out near the Nameless Eternal City grace. This one is also accessed by destroying the skulls on the top rather than on the feet. Do so by dropping down onto it from the roots above or shooting them with a bow.


It's just there to frustrate the players once again and is just a mere nuisance in game design as players simply just run past it. It's topped off with one of the least logical pathways to a boss arena; somehow, coffins are a better transportation method than Torr

While wielding any of General Radahn's three associated weapons you will be able to replicate other attacks from his Caelid boss fight and the encounter at the end of Shadow of the Erdtree . His normal Starscourge Greatsword uses Gravity magic, while the Promised Consort weapons both implement Holy damage.


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
