The first Somber Ancient Smithing Stone in the Mountaintops of the Giants can be found on the frozen river in the Consecrated Snowfield . Run along the river until you reach the location marked on the map above and get invaded by Anastasia, Tarnished-Eater . Defeating her will provide you with the fifth smithing stone on this l
The Grafted Dragon requires decent stats to be able to wield. It causes both physical and fire damage, with an added bonus to dragon enemies. The weapon has decently good base stats and scales well off your strength and faith to increase its physical and fire dam
Return to the Prayer Room Site of Grace and exit the room to the North. This time, upon exiting the room, look east below you. A large path will outline the edge of this massive structure. There are multiple ways to reach this path; once you get to it, run all the way Southwest until you come across a dead body with the Somber Ancient Smithing St
At the Haligtree, three Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones are within reach. Two are pretty easy to get; the third, not so much. To obtain the first one, fast travel or make your way to the Prayer Room Site of Grace . From here, exit the door to the North, and make a left. Take this path until you reach a staircase leading downwards; you will need to jump off the railing onto the large diagonal platform below you and then leap onto the floor to your left (the one with eight mini columns in a circle). Continue North past these columns and hop onto another large diagonal platform similar to the one before. This time, make your way upwards and enter the open arch ahead of you . There will be a chest inside that contains the first smithing stone in this locat
Enter the tunnel, and you’ll come across two guards over a pit. Dispatch them and carefully make your way down the pit, dropping down to ledges along the way. On the second ledge you reach, head down the short passage to find one Somber Smithing Stone [2] on a corpse. Continue carefully descending the ledges until you reach the site of grace at the bot
This allows for a more diverse damage build while only focusing on your usual physical-based stats. It has unique ash of war – Storm Kick – that can’t be replaced. This ash of war is an AOE attack of physical and lightning dam
Godrick is a descendant of Marika and Godrick, but as a result of being so far along the family line, he’s too weak to inherit most of the boons his relatives enjoy. He’s since gone mad with what little power he has along with his delusions of grandeur. While Godrick is undoubtedly vile and deserves to be put down for his atrocities, a share of the blame ultimately comes down to a long line of power-hungry roy
The final Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone in the Haligtree can be collected after defeating Malenia . This is no small feat, but upon defeating her, rest at the Site of Grace and return to the Unalloyed Gold Needle . When you return the needle, you will receive Miquella’s Needle as well as a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing St
Its ash of war is Braggart’s Roar, which boosts the user’s damage, defense, and stamina recovery. This ash can be replaced, but it is a very good choice for increasing many base stats for a short period of t
First, you only need to gather 2 of the Great Runes. Some of the “easier” options to collect these runes are defeating Godrick the Grafted and Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. Once you have obtained 2 of the great runes, you will want to make your way to the northern side of the capital, where there is a miniboss blocking your way. Defeat this boss and proceed into the Leyndell Royal Capital. Fight your way through the Royal Capital (easier said than done) until you reach the Elden Throne, where you will have to fight the Omen K
Kick is the default skill associated with a few early-game Elden Ring Builds Ring weapons such as the Hammer and Soldier’s Crossbow, but it’s also available as an ash of war that can be purchased from Knight Bernahl in Limgrave. As per the item’s description, sometimes a simple tool is the most effect
If the player uses it to dodge forward just before they’re stuck by an oncoming Chariot Trap, they’ll phase right through it. This can be tough to pull of repeatedly—and unlocking the ash of war can be tough, as it requires most of Bloody Finger Hunter Yura’s quest to have been completed—but, for some tarnished, it’s more than worth
Continue down this passage until you encounter several Land Octopuses and one Giant Land Octopus . This is a pretty cramped room to be dealing with the flailing limbs of the large one, so you might be tempted to retreat into the passage. The Giant Land Octopus can’t pursue you far, but it means you’ll only be able to attack head-on, which can draw the fight out. Try to keep to the larger space of the cavern, so you have a better chance of getting around the en
After your battle with the bloody finger Raven mount assassin, Yura will relocate to a new location in the Altus plateau. To reach this area of the map, you will need to use the Grand Lift of Dectus, which requires the two halves of the Dectus Medallion . The first half can be found guarded at Fort Haight in Southeast Limgrave, while the other half can be found in Caelid at Fort Far
