Elden Ring DLC: How To Choose The Best Heavy Armor Sets For You? - Top 11 Recommendations

As we all know, many new weapons and classes have been added to Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, and some of them have superior properties than other weapons, which we call Legendary Weapons. In addition to the beautiful Ashes of War, these Legendary Weapons also have very delicate animations, and most importantly, they can make you have a fatal effect on the enemy in battle. This guide will introduce several Legendary Weapons in the DLC, and you can choose the one that suits you best according to its location and usage. But it should be noted that if your Scadutree Blessing Level is too low, it is not recommended to use Legendary Weapons, because it will be a monumental challenge for you. Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is a very useful legendary colossal sword in Elden Ring, and its quality can perfectly match your Strength, Dexterity, and Arcane. When equipped, you can use its powerful Ash of War ability, called White Light Charge, to deal massive piercing damage to enemies and easily clear anything in your path. Location To get this powerful weapon, you’ll need to start your quest at Ruined Forge in Starfall Pass, southwest of Moorth Ruins. First, you’ll need to go to Site of Grace here, then continue straight ahead, then cross a small bridge and jump off the right side of the bridge. After jumping off the bridge, continue through a corridor and you’ll see a large room. Ignore it as it doesn’t contain Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword or Elden Ring Runes you need. Continue through another corridor until you see a ladder near the second Fire Slime. After climbing the stairs, continue along the corridor above until you reach the main hall of Ruined Forge. You can use the rubble on your left to climb up, and after passing through the door you’ll reach a chain platform. Continue to jump down from the short bridge northeast of the platform below. From there you can pull the lever to raise the gate, jump up and slowly move left. Until you see a furnace, you will see Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword glowing inside. Stone Sheathed Sword & Sword Of Darkness Or Sword Of Light Stone Sheathed Sword is a Straight Sword that first appeared in Elden Ring DLC. Its dominant feature is that it has two variants, Light and Darkness. You can swap between them in the initial altars you pick up. Back to Stone Sheathed Sword, although it is a simple Straight Sword that can change with your Dexterity and Strength, its variants will have much more damage, and the scaling and Ash of War will also change. Normally, Stone Sheathed Sword has Ash of War Square off, which allows you to cut through the enemy from the bottom up. The most troublesome part of this weapon is finding it and how to switch its variants. Location When you are facing Castle Front grace, turn left and move northwest of you. You will find a Fog Rift Catacombs. Continue through these catacombs until you find the second main hall, where there are three giant spike traps. You can use the space on the left wall to cross this dangerous area safely, and eventually you will reach a platform. On this platform, you can kill an NPC to gain XP and Elden Ring Runes, then wait for the trap to deactivate. After it deactivates, you can jump to a small opening in the back of this area, and then you can use the surrounding environment to jump to the second platform. On the platform, you can see a chest containing Blinkbolt’s Ash of War. But the altars that spawn Stone Sheathed Sword are on the roof, so you need to figure out how to jump up again. There is no set method here, just jump up. How To Convert It Into Sword Of Darkness? After you get Stone Sheathed Sword, you can convert it into Sword of Darkness. You need to go to Lower Scadu Altus in Castle Watering Hole Site of Grace, use Torrent to enter Ruins of Unte, and then you need to awaken Furnace Golem. Once you have done that, you can enter the ruins. On the main floor, you’ll find an altar that’s very similar to the one in Fog Rift Catacombs. Interacting with it will transform Stone Sheathed Sword into Sword of Darkness. Sword of Darkness has Ash of War Darkness that can deal Holy damage to enemies, making it easier for you to deal with enemies that are not resistant to Holy damage. Sword Of Light In fact, the steps to transform Stone Scabbard Sword into a Sword of Light are similar to those to transform it into a Sword of Darkness, but the most complicated part is finding an altar to do the transformation. Sword Of Light’s Ash of War Light can also trigger Holy attacks, but the difference is that it emits light to illuminate a small area during battle. This gives you an advantage in dark arenas and battle locations. How To Convert Into A Sword Of Light? Go southwest from West Site of Grace of Rauh Ancient Ruins, and you will find a cave and stairs nearby. Climb this staircase and go north to see Scarlet Lot Cave. When you enter the cave, you will see a horizontal corridor. Go right and exit through two doors and you will find yourself on a balcony. Next is the tough part. You need to do whatever it takes to cross the invisible broken bridge ahead. Again, there is no set way to do this. Just get past it. Once you get past it, you will see a Light Altar that you can transform into.  Euporia The weirdest, most unique weapon in the game is definitely Euporia, which is hidden in the last dungeon of Enir-Ilim in the DLC. It is a twin-blade that scales with your Faith attribute and can also deal a lot of Holy damage. It has a very beautiful Ash of War called Euporia Vortex. It allows you to spin the weapon at a very fast speed and release golden rays in combat, causing Holy and Slash damage to enemies. Location To get Euporia, you need to go southwest of First Rise Site of Grace and walk up a staircase. When you reach the halfway point, an enemy will attack you. You need to pay attention here that its attack point is where you are currently standing, so you need to use some flexible strategies to avoid its attacks. After defeating it with ranged attacks, continue to the north and you will eventually walk into a room. Flip over the balcony in the room and jump down from the left corner. After landing, walk south and there will be a broken railing directly behind a miniature statue. Climb over it and you will reach a platform where you will see an archway in the wall. You can enter without pushing the door, as there is nothing worth exploring here. Slowly follow the archway in the wall until you reach a pillar and then drop down to a thin platform to the south. Walk along the platform to the left and jump up another staircase from the crack. Go down the stairs until you reach the breakpoint and look south, where you will find a door. Run over and jump into the door, from which you will reach the lower area of ​​Enir-Ilim, Belurat Settlement. Use the elevator on the right to move down, or continue taking the stairs until you reach the last elevator. Once the small elevator takes you to the bottom, you will find a gigantic door in front of you. There, you can find Euporia near an abandoned corpse. The above is some of Legendary Weapons in Elden Ring DLC. I hope you can use these powerful weapons to defeat more enemies. If you have questions about combat strategies, you can come to iGMeet Discord to ask. There will be many players here to help you! I wish you a happy gaming.

There are some dungeons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree that have proved to be a real challenge for many players. In these cases, players are not only frustrated by the bosses themselves but also by the cleverly designed enemy groups or unique game mechanics that combine to create a rare and severe test. Some areas in Shadow of the Erdtree stand out for their unsettling design, which creates a strong sense of unease. These areas cleverly use some familiar fantasy elements to lure players in and then give them a series of terrifying surprises that will make them want to escape to the more peaceful Site of Grace. This guide will inspect the seven most frustrating dungeons and field areas in Shadow of the Erdtree. 7. Electric Sheep Plateau These seemingly docile enemies appear harmless when watching from a distance, but when the player’s back is turned, they will launch a series of cunning rolling attacks to directly ram the player. Although the sheep-like enemies deal limited damage individually, they are much more threatening when they are in groups. When players enter Shadow of the Erdtree, they will encounter a golden sheep, and a giant sheep, both located in Cliffroad Terminus Site of Grace near the starting area of ​​DLC. The giant sheep’s presence easily attracts the player’s attention and makes them ready to dodge potential attacks. The giant sheep brings a new lightning attack, which players need to dodge with little warning. After defeating it, there is a chance to get Elden Ring Runes as a reward. 6. Belurat Well Depths Poison swamps have been added to almost every game of FromSoftware development team, and they have become as iconic as Moonlight Greatsword. In Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, players will encounter the first poison swamp below Belurat, which is the first major dungeon players will encounter. This area is filled with thick poisonous muck, and players have to shuttle between small outcroppings of rubble to avoid contact with these poisons. These poison swamps seem safe to pass from a distance, but they are actually very dangerous. This area is usually full of Man-Flies, as well as an Ulcerated Tree Spirit. 5. Ruined Forge Lava Intake Ruined Forges is a new type of dungeons that isn’t particularly popular with players. The first time you encounter a Ruined Forge Lava Intake, it immediately greets you with its lava floor. But fortunately, you don’t need to traverse lava when exploring these Ruined Forges. The adventure begins with encounters with stone golems, which can only be effectively damaged by attacking them from behind. In addition, there are magma slimes lurking on the ceiling, ready to drop down or ambush you if you enter unsuspectingly, so players often need to carefully navigate through narrow passages. 4. Stone Coffin Fissure A large, fog-shrouded hole in the ground, lined with giant coffins that seem to be carved out of the stone walls, is Stone Coffin Fissure, a daunting scene for players. The descent itself is fairly easy with the help of Torrent’s double jump. But it’s inherently scary, and what lurks at the bottom is even worse. Stone Coffin Fissure is actually sealed at the start of DLC, as if to warn players that they’re not ready for what’s inside. This challenge requires players to jump from high places and pass through Bloodfiends and Stone Caterpillars. Putrescent Knight lurks at the end, guarding St. Trina’s deadly secret. 3. Darklight Catacombs Elden Ring emphasizes the cyclical nature of dungeons by reusing elements such as short staircases, white-flame braziers, and vaulted double doorways. Players might confidently walk into Darklight Catacombs in Scadu Altus, pry open the door, activate Site of Grace, and then find that the lights are all out after. Most of Darklight Catacombs require traversing in almost complete darkness, which can cause a lot of confusion around. Players can relight the lights by finding levers hidden throughout Darklight Catacombs. Lanterns can also help illuminate the immediate area, but gargoyles often lurk out of sight until their fireballs hurtle by. 2. Rauh Although players can see Rauh as early as Gravesite Plain, you have to travel through most of Shadow Keep to actually enter it. Once you arrive, the idyllic image of a mountaintop ruin is immediately shattered. Rauh is infested with bugs, including giant scorpions swarming through the once-hallowed halls, and Romina, Saint of the Bud, who waits in the deepest sanctum. 1. Finger Ruins Of Rhia In Dark Souls, Bells of Awakening are usually sounded by striking a bronze instrument. In this scene, however, the sound of the bells comes from a different source. Rather than coming from a traditional percussion instrument, it comes from a uniquely designed stone device. This device consists of another stone finger, its surface riddled with holes, and it is hung upside down. To make sounds, Tarnished needs to blow air with his mouth instead of tapping as before. These dungeons and wild areas are not just part of the game, they are also a test of the player’s skills, courage and determination. As players gradually unlock and conquer these areas, you will not only get satisfaction but also get a deeper experience in the game.

Like any Soulsborne game, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree requires some investigation from the player in order to unravel some mysteries of the game’s story and lore. However, with the DLC, there are still a lot of unanswered questions left unanswered. This is not surprising to many players, as developer FromSoftware is known for leaving many aspects of its world up to the player’s interpretation. Back to this expansion, it does a good job of explaining many aspects of the base game, including telling a lot about Miquella, Dragon Communion cult, Two Fingers and Greater Will, and more. While many players agree that Shadow of the Erdtree is huge, there are still many unanswered questions within it, and these mysteries mentioned in this guide can only be answered through theories. Who Is Demigod Family? Before Shadow of the Erdtree was released, Marika’s family was complicated, but reasonable. Before Messmer was included in the family, the ages of Marika and Radagon’s children were known: Godwyn was the oldest, Miquella and Malenia were the youngest. But in the DLC, it’s not so clear. Messmer is considered as being the eldest son of Marika and Radagon, because Messmer calls Marika mother and has red hair like Radagon. After he joins the family, the family becomes confusing. In addition, Messmer is not the only demigod to complicate things, because there is no simple answer to whether Messmer is a demigod or not, and whether he is a member of the family. In the previous base game, Radagon was married to Rennala, so his family is even more complicated, especially when Shadowbound Beasts are added. Who Is Melina? Melina is arguably the most confusing point in Shadow of the Erdtree. Although she is one of the most well-known characters in the game, there is no large description of her in the game. Is she a demigod or Gloam-Eyed Queen? There is absolutely no clue, but evidence of both identities appears in the game. Due to the fact that Melina’s appearance time in the game and the lack of additional scenes about her, especially in Shadow of the Erdtree, it is difficult to determine her identity. However, she is also the most important character in Shadow of the Erdtree, because she gives the player Torrent, so she met Miquella at some point. In previous trailers and teaser images for Shadow of the Erdtree, it was hinted that Miquella was Torrent’s former owner, but it is unclear how the horse ended up with Melina. The fundamental problem with Melina is that she doesn’t have much to do in the game’s story. She is not constantly calculating like Ranni, nor does she have a place in the history of Lands Between like other major characters. All she does is serve as a temporary Finger Maiden for Tarnished, and then casually fights Morgott in Leyndell and sets fire to Erdtree. From these events, we can feel that Melina must know a lot about this world and its history. If Elden Ring can answer them in subsequent game content, it will definitely attract many players! What Is Kaiden Like? In the base game, Kaiden was only a minor character in the world of Elden Ring, but that doesn’t mean his presence is not important. You can see Kaiden mercenaries in various places in Lands Between, and according to some item descriptions, they are from their homeland in the northern mountaintops. I believe that some old players must have felt the difficulty of fighting them. Many players joked that it would be difficult to persist in this battle if they did not want to obtain Elden Ring Runes in the ultimate reward. But after Tarnished went to Mountaintops of Giants, Kaiden was never seen. So it’s completely unclear where Kaiden is, but no one has ever found him in Shadow of the Erdtree, and it’s likely not in Lands Between. But in the DLC, you can see Kaiden mercenaries sitting on the beach next to countless shipwrecks, which may mean that Kaiden is just across the sea, but this is all just speculation. Since they are mercenaries, it can be speculated that these Kaiden warriors are hired here, but what is their relationship with Lands Between? Do they have a history of being hired before Shattering? It’s unknown. Does Radahn Want To Be Miquella’s Spouse? When many players are ready to complete this DLC, they will be surprised to find that Radahn is the ultimate boss they have to face, because he has become a cannibalistic zombie in the previous storyline and was killed during Radahn Festival. So when players see him again, they will be very surprised. However, many players also feel sorry for him, because it was very refreshing to fight Radahn in the arena when he was at his peak. Although Radahn is no longer at his peak now, he is very close. So you still get a certain amount of satisfaction from this fight and get some Elden Ring Runes as a reward. After Tarnished killed him, his soul was placed in the body of his half-brother Mohg. This is a clear storyline, but it is not clear whether he is willing to become Miquella’s spouse. Why Is Godwyn Was Killed? Godwyn is a strange character and the only demigod that Tarnished does not fight, unless Melina is considered one of them. He is also known as Godwyn Golden and was considered a favorite of Marika before Night of Black Knives and his partial death. Tarnished can see Godwyn as a strange, fish-like creature entangled in Deathroot. But a common question surrounding him is why was he killed? Was he the original target? The undead in the game all worship Godwyn and call him Prince of Death. So when his body was buried under Erdtree, the undead corrupted it, which is how Deathroot appeared. Most players think this may be for convenience, as many demigods may have been elsewhere at the time, such as Malenia and Miquella may have lived in Haligtree. It may also be because Godwyn was the most important to Marika, and Black Knife Assassins were Numen women who had connections with Marika. All that is known so far is that Ranni is behind this, although it is unknown if Godwyn had to die to get rid of Greater Will. There are even theories that Marika was involved in the conspiracy, but these are just theories. The above are some unanswered questions in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Bonny Gaol is one of the optional mini-dungeons you’ll encounter when you begin your Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree journey. It’s tucked away in the secluded area of ​​Scadu Altus and is a tough nut to crack. However, just like the other gaols, Bonny Gaol is still a dungeon worth exploring because there’s some really nice loot and amazing rewards waiting to be collected at the end of the quest. One of the great loot you can find at Bonny Gaol is Night Armor Set, which is the same set of armor worn by Jolan, the main NPC in DLC. In this guide, let’s take a look at Bonny Gaol location, a full walkthrough for completing the dungeon, including where to get Armor of Night Set, Shield of Night, Hefty Cracked Pot, Curseblade Meera Spirit Ashes, and Stalwart Horn Charm +2. Getting To Bonny Gaol First, we’ll cover how to get to Bonny Gaol, starting at Moorth Ruins Site of Grace in Scadu Altus. From there, we’ll move a short distance east and a little south to find a ramshackle entrance to the ruins below. We’ll have to be careful when entering the ruins, as it’s possible to die from fall damage. Note that there’s still some value in the insignificant items in the ruins, so feel free to explore. Not only can you enrich your build with these items, but you can also trade them with other players for additional Elden Ring Runes, killing two birds with one stone. Once we get close to the bottom of the ruins, there should be a tunnel leading southeast, out of the ruins, to Bonny Village Site of Grace. Bonny Gaol isn’t far away. To get there, head south from Bonny Village Site of Grace and cross the wooden bridge. Be careful, there are Spider Scorpions on the way to Gaol, but there aren’t actually any in Gaol. How To Complete Bonny Gaol? This dungeon is relatively short, but it does require a little backtracking and trickery. Hefty Cracked Pot Going down the main path, we’ll first drop two hanging jars to reach a secluded area. As we head to the southeast room, be careful of the jumping Jar Innards. New enemies added to Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. These weird creatures are contained in giant jars. Keep an eye out, you’ll also find a Hefty Cracked Pot here. The enemies here are annoying, though, so we should deal with them first before going to the sigil to the west and standing on it. It should glow and summon the hanging jars to come down. But if it doesn’t work the first time, jump on it and these jars will take us back to the top floor, and from there we can follow the path to the west. Stalwart Horn Charm +2 Behind the door that needs to be opened, there is a chute that we can jump down. Once down, we’ll move east and go through the tunnel system. At this point, keep an eye out for the annoying corpse oozes on the ceiling. At the end of this path, there is a ladder that we can climb to get Stalwart Horn Charm +2. Armor Of Night Set & Shield Of Night We will then retrace the previous route back to the tunnel system. This time, we will move a short distance west and then turn south. We can run along this path the rest of the way out of the tunnel system. Continuing forward, we can pick up Lost Ashes of War on the way, but nothing else of note. Once we exit a large cave, we will go west, down a staircase and through a door. After going through another door that needs to be opened again, we will jump onto the hanging pot to the north, but be sure to stay on it as it descends. If it doesn’t start to rise on its own, jump on it. It should lead us to a higher area where Armor of Night Set can be found. We will then also need to keep an eye out for Jar Innards that swoop in as we follow the southern passage to get Shield of Night. Curseblade Meera Spirit Ashes Next, we need to enter the cave again and go down the slope to the west room where there is an enemy sitting on a chair. We then jump down the cave and land in a river of blood. Go west towards a tunnel full of slime enemies. Then turn south to another tunnel and jump down at the end. Continue running east past Living Jars and then drop down to another area full of hanging jars. Go north past the enemies and eventually reach a platform full of black shadow enemies. Go west until a jar elevator appears and take it to the bridge full of enemies below. Once you defeat or ignore them, you will drop down to the lower platform. Going west, we can find a fogged gate. Behind it is Curseblade Labirith boss fight from Elden Ring. It moves the same as the one seen when the player enters Land of Shadow, except that Curseblade Labirith will release black shadows and become invisible. Therefore, it is recommended that you try to stay in the corner and lure the boss to come to you and show up. Once you defeat it, you will get its Curseblade Meera Spirit Ashes as a reward. The above is the complete route to complete Bonny Gaol dungeon. Although this is just an optional dungeon and will not have a big impact on your major story, the rewards you can get from completing it are definitely worth your effort! Come and try it out!
