Elden Ring DLC: How To Build The Best Build Around Anvil Hammer? - Tips & Matching Items

Pickaxe is a very exotic Great Hammer in Elden Ring DLC. It has a very large damage output and scales with Strength and Dexterity. In this guide, we’ll talk about how to farm this Pickaxe in the game, and talk about the characteristics of the weapon itself, which you may find interesting even if you are a veteran player of Elden Ring. To farm this weapon, you obviously need to know which enemy will drop it, and the only one who can do that is Miner who wields them. This is important because there is another type of Miner, called Glintstone Miner, also known as the Sorcerer Miner, and they are equipped with Digger’s Staff. Don’t make a mistake, otherwise you will not only not get Pickaxe you need but also waste your time and hard-earned Elden Ring Runes. Ruin-Strewn Precipice If your character is at an intermediate level, the best place to get Pickaxe is at Ruin-Strewn Precipice Site of Grace, which is located on the map. From this Site of Grace, you’ll want to head back to the tunnel to the southeast instead of taking the lift. There are six Miners in this area. Once you reach the open room here, head left immediately. After you see the first Miner, note that there are three more to the east. Next, you’ll need to head toward another tunnel, ignoring Vulgar Militia in the small room to the right, as they’re not doing anything right now. After killing the three Miners, head up the stairs in the middle of the room, and then don’t go any further. Kill the two Miners that are hanging out there and watch to see if they drop anything. If not, run back to Site of Grace and repeat the process until you get Pickaxe. However, if one of them happens to drop something, quickly grab their body and run back to Site of Grace. There’s an invisible trigger on the wooden platform here that will make all four Vulgar Militia in the area come and attack you. It is highly recommended that you simply ignore them, as they will only distract you from farming Pickaxe. This is a very simple and straightforward farming route. And since there is a Site of Grace nearby, it is very necessary to spend Elden Ring Runes in advance to get some consumables that increase Item Discovery. Limgrave Tunnels If you choose to farm Pickaxe with a newly created character, the best place to farm will be another choice, which is Limgrave Tunnels. There are two areas in this place that can be farmed. If you are going to use any consumables to increase Item Discovery, then you can start from Site of Grace and head to the next area. There are 5 Miners there, 3 on the wooden walkway and 2 on the ground. You need to kill Miner on the walkway, then go down and kill Miner in the alcove on the wall and another Miner resting near some crates. After checking the loot, run back to Site of Grace and repeat this operation until you get Pickaxe. But if you don’t plan on using consumables to increase Item Discovery, then go deeper into the tunnel until you reach the first lift, from which you must jump down to continue through this dungeon. There are also 5 Miners in this area, but they are closer to each other. Kill the first Miner in front of you, then check the other one on the right. After that, go left and kill the remaining three Miners. Once you’ve completed the task, the next thing you have to do is to end your character’s life by jumping into the elevator shaft. After that, choose to respawn at Stakes of Marika, and you will be taken to the same area you just cleared. Repeat the operation until you get Pickaxe you want. Don’t forget to restore your runes on each run. Farming Tips Now let’s recommend a few things that can make this farming process easier. Since Miners are protected by something like a hard stone skin, they are really resistant to physical damage. So obviously, it is extremely unwise to attack them with some melee weapons. In addition, since the most effective physical damage against them is Strike, and they are not very resistant to elemental damage, especially Fire. So we can take advantage of this and deal with Miners faster. If you start with Astrologer or Prisoner, you can rush to the farming site because the two Sorcery that come with them are very effective against Miners, and using Sorcery is the most effective way to eliminate them. Now, if you start with Prophet or Confessor classes, you can use Catch Flame to fight against Miners. Prophet class has this Incantation from the beginning, but Confessor does not. To get it, you need to get it from Brother Corhyn in Roundtable Hold for 600 Elden Ring Runes. Fire is definitely the most effective damage against Miners, but the small disadvantage here is that Catch Flame is a melee range Incantation. So you have to keep an eye on your position at all times, otherwise you will die unexpectedly if you are not careful. Finally, a method that works for all classes and does not require upgrading a single attribute is to use a melee weapon that deals elemental damage and strike damage. There are two weapons to choose from here. The first one is Mace, which you can get from Twin Maiden Husks for 800 runes. The second option is Club, sold by Nomadic Merchant located near Coastal Cave, and is worth 600 runes. About Pickaxe Finally, let’s talk about this Pickaxe itself. First of all, it is the only Great Hammer that can cause Pierce Damage. This is the only type of physical damage it causes. The second thing is that you can’t power stance this Pickaxe with other Great Hammers. We don’t know if this is because Pickaxe is set to the wrong category, or just Greataxe Moveset is more suitable for it, but this is how Pickaxe works in the game. The above is our complete guide to farming this Pickaxe in Elden Ring DLC. You can customize your farming route and method according to your character.

In Realm of Shadow in Elden Ring DLC, you will meet Freyja who carries a Greatsword with her. After you complete the quest she gives you, you can get her Greatsword called Freyja’s Greatsword, and you can also create an optimal build for it. The skill of Freyja’s Greatsword is Spinning Slash, but if you want better Redmane Skills, you can change it. In this guide, we will show you how to get this powerful Greatsword and what kind of build you should build around it. This way, its maximum effectiveness can be brought into play. How To Get Freyja’s Greatsword? As I just said, Freyja’s Greatsword is related to Redmane Freyja, and there are currently two ways to get it. The first is to let Redmane Freyja get Freyja’s letter. In return, she will give you Golden Lion Shield. From this location, head to Enir-Ilim, where you will fight Leda and her allies with Freyja. After the battle, you can loot this powerful weapon from Leda’s corpse. Second, if you don’t want to spend time completing her questline, you can continue to complete other quests or battles in the DLC, as you will still fight Leda and her allies in the later games. After the battle, you cannot loot anything from her corpse except Elden Ring Runes. You need to return to the seventh floor warehouse in Shadow Keep, where Freyja and Freyja’s Greatsword are waiting for you. Best Talismans Unlike Talismans required for other weapons, in this build, you need to focus only on the offensive power of Freyja’s Greatsword itself. Among the many Talismans, Shard of Alexander is to increase the damage of Ash of War Savage Lion’s Claw of this weapon by 15%. Claw Talisman is also very useful when you use Greatsword to jump attack, because it increases your mobility. In addition, Two-Handed Sword Talisman is also very necessary, because it increases your attack power by 15% when you use Freyja’s Greatsword with both hands. For these Talismans, you can choose one or two to equip. If you have to choose one or two, my suggestion is to choose Claw Talisman and Two-Handed Sword Talisman. These Talismans are located far away from each other. For example, Shard of Alexander is obtained after you complete Iron Fist in Alexander’s questline, Two-Handed Sword Talisman is found in a treasure chest in Temple Town Ruins, Claw Talisman is found on top of a watchtower in Stormveil Castle, and Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is in a treasure chest near Rivermouth Cave. So you can spend some time and Elden Ring Runes to find these Talismans before building Freyja’s Greatsword build, because they will be useful not only in this build but also in other builds. Best Armor Although you can get a Freyja’s Armor from Freyja, it has no passive effect to increase the effect of Redmane Skills or the damage of the weapon itself, so it is useless. The best choice is Rakshasa Set, because each piece of armor in it increases your damage by 2%. But it should be noted here that it also increases the damage you take by the same percentage. Increasing the damage to the enemy is more valuable than the negative effects you take, because those negative effects can be reduced by Talismans and Crystal Tears. Best Attribute Data Allocation For attribute data allocation, Vigor and Strength are both essential. And since Freyja’s Greatsword only scales in Strength, you only need to invest a little in this attribute. Intelligence and Arcane can be ignored because these two attributes are not suitable for this build. Faith cannot be too much, because you only need a moderate amount of Faith to use Golden Vow. For Mind and Endurance, you can maintain a balance between the two, and whether you prefer one to the other depends on how often you use Ash of War Savage Lion’s Claw. If you have already chosen the data for each attribute, you can’t Respec in Realm of Shadow, so you must reflect. But there is a way to modify it. You need to go to Raya Lucaria Academy and defeat Queen of Full Moon Rennala in exchange for Larval Tear. You can use this Larval Tear to help you Respec, but still be aware that this Elden Ring Item is limited. The following is the distribution information of each attribute, for reference only. Vigor: 60 Mind: 40 Endurance: 30 Strength: 85 Dexterity: 20 Intelligence: 9 Faith: 25 Arcane: 10 Best Wondrous Flask Of Physick There are a lot of Crystal Tears options in Wondrous Flask DLC that are perfect for Freyja’s Greatsword builds. For example, Greenburst Crystal Tear can help you increase the speed of Endurance recovery - 15 points per second for 3 minutes, which is very important for this build because using Ash of War and charged heavy attacks in combat will consume a lot of Endurance. Similarly, Crystal Tear and Two-Headed Turtle Talisma can also achieve this effect. If you want to reduce the damage, you take a little or even cancel it, you can choose Opaline Hardtear, because it can cancel 15% of all damage types for 3 minutes after you use it. Or if you want your Poise to be a little stronger, you can also equip Leaden Hardtear. Best Incantations Because Freyja’s Greatsword only increases the damage of Redmane Skills, and does not increase the damage of any Sorceries or Incantations, you can equip some Incantations when you are facing some spell damage that you cannot resist. In addition, the armor provided by Freyja does not have any passive effects. The best Incantations are Supportive Incantations, because they can protect you in some regular battles. Or you can choose to stack Golden Vow and Flame, Grant me Strength, which will increase your damage and gain some damage offset in a short time. The above are some of the options you should choose for the build of Freyja’s Greatsword. If you encounter better build items in the game, you can come to iGMeet Discord to communicate with other players and learn from other players.

In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, there are many new items. Like Scadutree Fragment, Revered Spirit Ash can help you increase your game progress. So it is a must-have item in Shadow of the Erdtree. Revered Spirit Ash can help you improve the offensive and defensive capabilities of Spirit Ash, and can make them stronger allies for you. You’ll see this buff in their increased attack and damage resistance. The first thing you need to know is the location of each Revered Spirit Ash. Revered Spirit Ash is divided into four categories according to each region: Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash, Scadu Altus Revered Spirit Ash, Ruah Ruins Revered Spirit Ash, and Abyssal Wood Revered Spirit Ash. Below is the specific location of each Revered Spirit Ash. Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash The first Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash is located in East of Scorched Ruins. First, you will spawn at Scorched Ruins Site of Grace. Go east and you will find it on a shriveled statue on the plains to the east. The second one is also very easy to find, located on the statue worshiped by the winged people in Ailing Village. The third one is a little further away from the second one, located in the only lake with turtles in Clifford Terminus, and it is also on a statue. The fourth Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash is not as peaceful as the above. You need to climb to the top of Belurat Tower at Main Gate Site of Grace and kill scorpions to pick it up from the shriveled statue. In addition, there will be two other Elden Ring Items on the ground as your reward. The fifth one requires you to defeat some birds first. They are located behind the Private Alter Site of Grace. After killing them, you can move to the next area, where there will be an enemy holding a pot waiting for you. After killing it, you will get the fifth Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash. The sixth one is near Belurat Tower mentioned above. Don’t worry, there is nothing wrong with this bridge, but at the end of it, there will be some very easy to defeat enemies. After killing them, you will see Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash lying peacefully in front of a shriveled statue in front of a tree. The seventh one will appear after you defeat Dancing Lion boss. You can find it in Tower Settlement dungeon Belurat. It is difficult to defeat unless you use skills such as Pierce, Fire, Hemorrhage, Scarlet Rot to suppress it. After you defeat Dancing Lion boss, a Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash will automatically appear in this space. The last Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash may require you to go back a little. Before you enter Ellac River Cave Site of Grace, remember to look around. You can find it on a ledge inside the cave. Scadu Altus Revered Spirit Ash Scadu Altus Revered Spirit Ash is easy to find. The first one is in Storehouse on First Floor Site of Grace. There will be a very large specimen statue inside. You can find it easily. In the same place, but on the seventh floor, you will find another specimen statue. The second Scadu Altus Revered Spirit Ash will also be there. The third one requires you to go out and is located on the edge of a cliff near Moorth Ruins. There you will find a corpse with Scadu Altus Revered Spirit Ash on it. In addition, this location is also where you go to Bonny Village. Speaking of Bonny Village, the fourth one is here. It is located at the north end of the entire canyon. You may need to walk a long way to find it. Again, it is on a corpse. In the southeast of the ruins, on rivers of Unte, you will find the fifth Scadu Altus Revered Spirit Ash. The last one is also on a corpse in the Village of Flies, or more specifically on the pedestal. Ruah Ruins Revered Spirit Ash You’ll find 4 Ruah Ruins Revered Spirit Ashes in Ruah Ruins, two of which you can get from an enemy holding a pot like Gravesite Plains Revered Spirit Ash - one at the entrance to Ruah Ancient Ruins, and one in front of an elevator near some Spider Scorpions. You’ll find it in Temple of Ruins, south of Ruah Ruins, where there’s a tattered corpse lying on a pedestal. You’ll also find it in Gazebo, where there are a lot of corpses. Abyssal Wood Revered Spirit Ash You’ll find two Abyssal Wood Revered Spirit Ashes after entering Abyssal Wood, one of the new areas with strong eye monsters in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The first one is from the large Omen Shaman after you kill it. It gives you some Elden Ring Runes besides Revered Spirit Ash you want. The second one is located on the second floor of Chamber Site of Grace. You need to turn north inside the building to find a chandelier with Abyssal Wood Revered Spirit Ash attached to it. How To Use Revered Spirit Ash? Revered Spirit Ash in Elden Ring works very similarly to Scadutree Fragment in the base game, so the method for using it is similar. First, you need to go to any of the above locations to get yourself Revered Spirit Ash, then you can be teleported to any Site of Grace and can use them to access the menu. In the menu, select Shadow Realm Blessing. After using it, you can summon Spirit Ash in any allowed location to see if they perform as you expect. Although this is not that important in combat, it will give you a little wiggle room and even a sudden comeback. Hopefully, this guide can increase your understanding of Revered Spirit Ash and how to use it wisely. Have fun playing Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC!
