Elden Ring DLC: How To Build Your Paladin Build Better And Make It Stronger? - Armors & Weapons

Since the launch of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, it has been rated as the most difficult DLC in history by many players: some extremely difficult bosses and dazzling combat mechanisms make them feel that this game is too challenging. But there is a solution. You need to learn some combat skills and item selection skills. In combat, the most important thing is to ensure that your health is always within a safe range, and the safest thing is to increase your maximum health. Usually, the higher your maximum health, the stronger your ability to survive enemy attack spells and projectiles, and you also have a lot of room for error. In Shadow of the Erdtree, you are provided with a lot of items that can increase your maximum health, such as armor and talismans. This guide will introduce you to several best options. You can choose one or more to combine according to your usage habits or game style. Come and take a look! Crimson Amber Medallion +3 You can find 4 Crimson Amber Medallions in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The default version can increase your maximum health by 6%, followed by 7% and 8%, and the most powerful +3 version can directly increase it by 10%. This is far beyond the reach of many armors, and this talisman, unlike Great Runes, has no drawbacks or caveats, making it the best choice for your build when facing enemies that can be hard hit you. But it should be noted that Crimson Amber Medallion +3 can only be found in the DLC. You can go to Fog Rift Catacombs and defeat Death Knight boss and then find it in its loot. If you just want this talisman as a supplement to your build, you can look for Crimson Amber Medallion +2 in Ashen Capital Leyndell in the base game, which is enough. Morgott’s Great Rune Of all Elden Ring Items that increase your maximum health, Morgott’s Great Rune is the clear winner, as it increases your health by 25%. This means that when you’re fighting a long battle with an enemy, your high health will give you more chances to defeat them, and it will also make it more likely that you’ll get the final Elden Ring Runes bonus. But it should be noted that this bonus is ideal when you have other health-increasing buffs, equipment, and spells in your build. If you focus your entire build on health before a fight, you’ll be invincible. Also, like the other Great Runes, Morgott’s Great Rune requires a Rune Arc before each activation, which can be a bit cumbersome, but if you think about the benefits that Morgott’s Great Rune brings to you, I believe you’ll understand its importance. Erdtree’s Favor +2 Although Erdtree’s Favor +2 only provides you with a 4% increase in maximum health, it doesn’t seem to be outstanding, but that’s not the point. This talisman also grants you an extra 10% Stamina and 8% Equip Load. These bonuses make it a versatile and valuable talisman for a wide range of builds. You can combine Erdtree’s Favor +2 with Radahn’s Great Rune to get a significant boost to both Health and Stamina. Best of all, it weighs only 1.5, making it lighter than regular armor, making it very easy to equip. You’ll find a large courtyard in Ashen Capital Leyndell, and within it is a tree guarded by three Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirits. The Erdtree’s Favor +2 is in that tree. If you don’t want to fight the little monsters, you can just run up to this talisman and run away immediately. If you want to farm some Elden Ring Runes here, you can do so as the Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirits will also drop these rewards. Radahn’s Great Rune Among Runes can be equipped, Radahn’s Great Rune is the most powerful and a favorite among high-level players - not only does it increase your health by 15%, it also increases your Stamina by 15%. This is why you can use it in conjunction with Erdtree’s Favor +2 talisman, which together will significantly increase these key attributes. Like Morgott’s Great Rune, you need to use a Rune Arc before using Radahn’s Great Rune. Radahn’s Great Rune is one trophy you get from the battle against Starscourge Radahn in Caelid, which is also one of the most challenging missions in the DLC, as you need to navigate a very dangerous platform to reach the top of the arena. Fire Knight Helm Fire Knight Helm first appeared in Elden Ring DLC, and is one of the few armor pieces in the base game and DLC that directly increases your total health. It gives you 2% more max health, plus 5% more Stamina and 4% more Equip Load, making it a versatile Elden Ring Item. Compared to the previous talismans, Fire Knight Helm also provides you with a solid protection - strong resistance to physical and fire damage. If you want an item that can both protect you and increase key attributes, Fire Knight Helm is the best. And compared to the previous items, Fire Knight Helm is a little more difficult to obtain, requiring you to challenge Fire Knights in Shadow Keep repeatedly until one of them drops it. But you can also get other parts of Fire Knight Armor Set from it, which is also very useful. The above are the items in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC that can increase your maximum health and enhance your survivability. If you have better options, you are welcome to share them with many players in iGMeet Discord. I wish you a merry game in this interesting game!

Land of Shadow in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is filled with interesting locations for players to explore. But some of the more hidden corners hide unexpected secrets that you may miss when you are in a hurry to explore. Of all the easily forgotten corners, the most important one is Temple Town Ruins, because only after you have explored them can you unlock the subsequent secret locations. And some of Elden Ring Items you find in Temple Town Ruins are also an important part of your enhanced build. This guide will show you how to reach Temple Town Ruins and what you can find there. You can slowly explore this interesting place after you have completed the dominant story of the entire DLC. How To Get To Temple Town Ruins? Temple Town Ruins are located in Rauh Base. If you can’t find them, you can first find Ancient Rauh Ruins, which is just below it. After you defeat Rellana, head to Moorth Ruins in Scadu Altus. Once there, head northeast to the lake with ghost worms. You will see a tunnel in front of you. After walking out of the tunnel, you will come across a poisonous swamp. Here you can use your Torrent and cross this dangerous area until you reach Rauh Base area. Once in this area, continue straight in the same direction until you find Golems. After defeating them briefly, continue forward and you will reach Temple Town Ruins. Before entering Temple Town Ruins, you will also find a map fragment of Rauh region at the door. Please keep this fragment safe, as it will be used later. If you want to go to Temple Town Ruins Site of Grace, you need to cross the river, and Site of Grace will be on your left. Temple Town Ruins Exploration Process Before you are ready to enter Temple Town Ruins, make sure you have Revered Spirit Fragment. If not, you need to go to the south of the ruins and find a headless statue, where the fragment is. Once you have confirmed it, you can enter the ruins. The first thing you need to reach is a large building in the center of the ruins. This large building is surrounded by walls, but you will find a small hole in the south side. Go inside and then go up the stairs directly. As you move forward, you will find an elevated ledge behind you, and inside it is an undead with a pot on its head. When you jump onto the ledge, you can fight it or ignore it, as it does not provide you with any XP other than some Elden Ring Runes. Then keep walking forward until you find a Scadutree Fragment on the ground. After picking it up, you can return the same way. I will divide the subsequent exploration process according to the rewards of each part. Two-Handed Sword Talisman After you return to the previous position, continue to move forward. Soon after you walk out, you will see a Horned Warrior holding a greatsword. At this time, you need to defeat it, because when it sees you, it will start to attack you. Also, don’t worry too much about Horned Warrior being defeated early. There are Marika statues all around to keep you entertained in the fight. After defeating them using some strategy, go up the stairs and look to the left. You’ll see a treasure chest containing a Two-Handed Sword Talisman. Two-Handed Sword Talisman can increase the attack power of any two-handed weapon by 15%, but it should be noted that this is for the two-handed weapon, not for each hand holding a two-handed weapon, such as Backhand Blade. If you are using Strength builds that require two-handed giant weapons, then Two-Handed Sword Talisman will be one of your best helpers. Spirit Ashes Of Divine Bird Warrior Ornis After you get Two-Handed Sword Talisman, you can take a break at Temple Town Ruins Site of Grace. Continue walking north and you will find three red pests. Be careful of the harmful lines that the red pests shoot, so be careful to avoid them. After defeating the red pests, turn right and you will see a Spiritspring. At this time, be sure to use your Torrent to jump onto Spiritspring, because you cannot land on a building in Temple Town Ruins by jumping on it alone. There will be a box in the middle of the building with some crafting material and Elden Ring Runes. After picking it up, you need to go around the ledge of this building and jump to another cliff. Keep going in the current direction until you find a sanctuary-like structure. There will be a chest with Spirit Ashes of Divine Bird Warrior Ornis you are looking for. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman You can explore these bonus items in any order, as the last item is very far from the location of Two-Headed Turtle Talisman. To find Two-Headed Turtle Talisman, you need to go to the south of Temple Town Ruins and descend along a circle of ledges to the bottom of the lake. You will find a small rift just below the waterfall. Once you crawl into it, you will see Two-Headed Turtle Talisman on a corpse in the center of the cave. There are also three angry ghost worms guarding around it, which will start to attack you when you enter the cave. You can also use some simple combat strategies to defeat them. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is a more powerful version of the regular Green Turtle Talisman, which can help you increase the recovery rate of Stamina. If you have participated in some difficult boss stations before, you must know that the recovery speed of Stamina is very important, because you can’t let your Stamina value drop to the minimum when attacking or dodging. If you face some bosses that require a long fight in the subsequent boss battles, you can equip Two-Headed Turtle Talisman. After getting Two-Headed Turtle Talisman, you can choose to continue exploring the lake just now to the south, and eventually you will reach Ellac River area. Or you can choose to continue exploring this area and find some more interesting events. The above is all the information on how to fully explore Temple Town Ruins. I hope it can help you better understand this place. If you have other places you want to explore, welcome to iGMeet Discord to ask many players. I believe there will be many players willing to help you.

There are over 10 new bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of The Erdtree DLC, but they are often hidden deep in Realm of Shadow and can be missed if you're not careful. Some of them are so hidden that you need your Tarnished to solve puzzles. There are supreme bosses and optional bosses, but the optional bosses are the easiest to miss. These mysterious bosses usually have their own exclusive dungeons, and the paths to these dungeons are also very secret. This guide will introduce two representative bosses - Bayle The Dread and Putrescent Knight. These two bosses are located close to each other. Let's start with the easiest one! Bayle The Dread Bayle The Dread is technically the first optional boss you encounter in new DLC, but it's also one of the hardest bosses to defeat. But fortunately, his location is very easy to find, so we'll start with him. If you want to find him, you need to enter Jagged Peaks region in the southeast of the map. If you haven't explored anywhere in DLC yet, you can follow the steps below to get here. First, you need to go to Ellac Greatbridge in the north of Gravesite Plains. After crossing this bridge, you will reach one of the most important locations in DLC - Castle Ensis. In addition, you will find Castle Front Site of Grace. From here, you need to go up the southeast fork, and eventually you will reach Pillar Path Waypoint Site of Grace on the top of the mountain. Finally, in the south of this plateau, you will find a hidden dungeon - Dragon's Pit. In it, you can defeat Ancient Dragon-Man and obtain many Elden Ring Runes and Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana. After completing this battle, you need to continue forward and you will find Castle Front Site of Grace. At this time, you have entered the southern map. In the jagged rock area where the dragon spawns in the pool, there are two paths for you to choose - one leads to Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. The other leads to Jagged Peak. If you still want to fight Bayle, you need to take the left path. Following this path, you will not only bypass the mountain but also jump over the dragon in front and directly reach Bayle's arena. As I just said, Bayle is very difficult to deal with. Although he is also the easiest to find, you can still choose to find him last and fight him when you are better equipped. Putrescent Knight Putrescent Knight is located on the southernmost part of the map, on Cerulean Coast. If you have already explored Dragon's Pit mentioned above, you can access Cerulean Coast more easily. From Dragon's Pit Terminus Site of Grace, follow the pool of water where the drake field boss appears to the right (south) to find Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. There is a very large dead dragon here, and you can't go wrong. After crossing the dead dragon, you will find an area called Charo, which is a hidden tomb, which can be identified by the unique red leaves here. From this area, you can use Torrent to descend directly to Cerulean Coast mentioned above. Once you reach Cerulean Coast, you still need to continue to walk south until you see a land bridge leading to an enormous crater. Here you need Torrent, and carefully jump down from the hole to minimize the threat of falling. Finally, you will reach Stone Coffin Fissure underground. At this time, you need to get out of the car and walk to it. Stone Coffin Fissure is a very difficult dungeon because there is a group of stone creatures that will attack you with beams. You need to pass quickly through this dungeon while dodging the beams they emit. Here is a tip for you: stand directly under them to keep you safe. After passing the last barrier, there is a Site of Grace where you can take a breath. After resting, continue forward until you enter the end of Fissure Depths Site of Grace. You need to be mentally prepared - because the next is a very difficult boss station. On the huge stone coffin, you need to touch two objects to enter Putrescent Knight's arena - the statue head at the front hanging over the gigantic pit and the curved horns of the statue. This strange boss will jump directly from the horse to attack you, and the horse that looks like it has melted will also attack you. So you need to be prepared to defend from two different angles. If you are not prepared in DLC, this will be a tough battle, but fortunately, the rewards are relatively rich. Putrescent Knight is actually very important in your later stages of the game, as you can complete Thiollier's quest by defeating him, so you will gain a very useful ally who can help you share some of the burden when you encounter a boss in the later stages. After learning about these two hidden bosses, are you less afraid of bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of The Erdtree DLC? These bosses are not as difficult to fight as you might think. I hope you will have fun in the subsequent games!

There are a lot of craftable items in Elden Ring, such as Glowstone and Sleep Pot, that can help you provide useful effects in various situations and give you a great gaming experience. With the release of Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC, FromSoftware has also rebalanced the weapons and enemies in the game, and many craftable items can help you survive some encounters, even those that have become more difficult in the update. But there are so many craftable items in Elden Ring that you need to know which ones to equip - some crafting materials can even save your life in a life-or-death situation. Glowstone Effect: Emits a weak light from the place of installation Crafting Materials: Ruin Fragment (x1) Dewkissed Herba (x1) Although you can use Lantern or Torch to illuminate dark areas in the game, neither can match the light emitted by Glowstone. This simple item can emit a powerful light anywhere, covering most of the map with you as the center. Unless you leave the area or exit the game. It should be noted that you can carry 99 Glowstones with you, and you can store more than 600 in Storage, so you can use the above two crafting materials to make more in case of backup. In addition, Glowstone can also be used to create a “breadcrumb” trail, which can make it easier for you to pass through some dark tunnels or caves. Sleep Pot Effect: Shooting causes sleep Crafting Materials: Mushroom (x1) Trina’s Lily (x1) Empty Cracked Pot (x1) When you face some of the toughest bosses, especially those in underground regions, it is very useful to use some “cheesy” strategies. Sleep is one of the best status effects against bosses, allowing you to hit it a few more times before it wakes up and causes more damage. Therefore, in many combat tips of Elden Ring, you will be reminded to bring more Sleep Pots. Most importantly, enemies inflicted with Sleep will receive more critical hits. While you are happy, I still want to tell you that the game has a limited number of Cracked Pots, so Sleep Pot is very valuable. Therefore, you have to choose carefully in which battle you want to use it. Bewitching Branch Effect: Uses FP to charm enemies that are pierced. Crafting Materials: Sacramental Bud (x1) Miquella’s Lily (x1) Bewitching Branch is one of the most underrated crafting items in Elden Ring, because most players don’t realize its true power - it can charm most enemies to cooperate with you, except for bosses. Once you use Bewitching Branch, a small pink cloud will surround the enemy, and the enemy after the spell will become your ally within 3 minutes. However, it is not without disadvantages. The only disadvantage is that the charmed enemies will still attack you, even if they don’t mean to. You can also damage the charmed enemies, so if you still want to cooperate with them, refrain from using more AOE attacks. Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot Effect: Temporarily extend the search for an item Crafting Materials: Rowa Fruit (x3) Four-Toed Fowl Foot (x1) Silver Firefly (x1) In most open-world RPGs, loot collection is all about finding the best armor or weapons in the game, especially when the best armor or weapons in the game are hidden behind certain enemies. Luckily, with Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot, you can increase the chance of armor, weapons dropping after defeating a boss. You can also use this item if you just want to shorten the farming time, as it increases the discovery rate by 50 for 3 minutes. However, don’t expect too much from Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot, as it is not guaranteed to be good stuff if Demigod or Boss armor drops from the corresponding boss. Uplifting Aromatic Effect: Increases ally’s attack power and reduces damage Crafting Materials: Altus Bloom (x1) Budding Cave Moss (x1) Silver Tear Husk (x1) Arteria Leaf (x1) Elden Ring is considered by many players to have the largest number of challenging world bosses in the entire FromSoftware universe. Fortunately, you can seek out other Tarnished to help you defeat most of the bad guys, which is why Uplifting Aromatic exists. This craftable item can enhance the attack power of the entire team and increase damage for a short period, which is very important in some very difficult boss battles, and can even turn the tide. Not only in the team, Uplifting Aromatic is also very friendly to the player as Mimic Tear, the best Spirit Ash Summon, will also use it in boss battles. Rejuvenating Boluses Effect: Reduces accumulation of deadly diseases Crafting Materials: Dewkissed Herba (x2) Crystal Cave Moss (x1) Golden Centipede (x1) Rejuvenating Boluses are absolutely essential when you want to explore areas such as Volcano Manor, Deeproot Depths, Subterranean Shunning-Grounds, Lake of Rot. Because these locations have many enemies that cause Death Blight, especially Basilisk or Wormface. In addition, Death Rite Bird or Lichdragon Fortissax, which only appears at night, can also cause Death Blight. In order to craft Rejuvenating Boluses, you need to collect Missionary’s Cookbook 7 to unlock this recipe. Read More: How To Find Missionary’s Cookbook In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC? Neutralizing Boluses Effect: Reduce the accumulation of poison and heal the poison Crafting Materials: Herba (x1) Cave Moss (x1) Great Dragonfly Head (x1) FromSoftware’s enemies and bosses have a tradition of not only dealing damage but also inflicting numerous status effects. These effects slowly drain the player’s health. The most annoying thing in Elden Ring is the poison, which will slowly drain your health over a minute if you don’t do anything about it. Fortunately, Neutralizing Boluses can help you solve this problem. You need to use Armorer’s Cookbook 2 to craft it, and you need to trade with Nomadic Merchant to get it for 600 Elden Ring Runes. Poisonbone Dart Effect: Something that can be thrown away can damage and accumulate poison. Crafting Materials: Thin Beast Bones (x2) Poisonbloom (x1) Most players often overlook Poisonbone Dart when crafting items. Because they think it can do almost no damage, it is the perfect tool to trap enemies, especially those that are in groups. In addition, you can use Poisonbone Dart to kill annoying enemies such as Giant Bats or Rats. Their health is very low, and only one Poisonbone Dart is needed to kill them. In addition, Poisonbone Dart will help you inflict Poison Build Up in boss battles - much like the unique Coil Shield. Preserving Boluses Effect: Reduces scarlet rot buildup and cures decay Crafting Materials: Dewkissed Herba (x2) Crystal Cave Moss (x1) Sacramental Bud (x1) The most common status effect in Elden Ring is Scarlet Rot, especially in Caelid region of Lands Between. But what’s worse is that many hidden areas that players haven’t discovered, such as Lake of Rot, are covered in Scarlet Rot. Fortunately, you can craft Preserving Boluses to eliminate this annoying status effect. The only problem with crafting Preserving Boluses is that Sacramental Bud is hard to find, so you need to think twice about how to use Preserving Boluses. They are rare, but necessary. Immunizing Cured Meat Effect: Boosts immunity temporarily Crafting Materials: Rowa Fruit (x5) Sliver of Meat (x1) Great Dragonfly Head (x1) Smoldering Butterfly (x1) As mentioned earlier, Elden Ring is full of enemies that cause status effects. Immunizing Cured Meat can solve this problem very well. It can increase your immunity by 100 points in 60 seconds! But you need to be aware that it can only increase immunity, not cure status effects. You can get it from Nomadic Merchant in Liurnia of Lakes using Elden Ring Runes, or go directly to Redmane Castle to find Armorer’s Cookbook 5, which has the recipe for Immunizing Cured Meat. Soft Cotton Effect: Temporarily reduces fall damage and noise Crafting Materials: Rowa Fruit (x3) Smoldering Butterfly (x1) Although Falling is not an enemy in the game, it is a common occurrence for many players. Falling from a hillside or ledge will usually result in your immediate death, especially if you have only invested a few points in Vigor. However, Soft Cotton can provide a sense of comfort and security when climbing up and down. For example, it can protect you from falling when exploring Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel. It should be noted that it only increases your chances of surviving a fall, and does not increase your immunity, so you need to work hard on your attributes. Hopefully, these craftable items can help you get through those battles comfortably during your exploration, and I wish you have a happy game in Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC!
