Elden Ring DLC: How To Completely Explore Temple Town Ruins? - Locations & Rewards
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.

Elden Ring DLC: How To Farm ...
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. If you want to get some special weapons faster, then you can choose to enter iGMeet Discord. There are often some lucky draws in the giveaway channel here. Pay attention and participate in it on time. Maybe you will be the next lucky person!Oct-22-2024

Elden Ring DLC: How To Find ...
Elden Ring features a blue NPC named Ranni the Witch. She is considered one of the most fascinating characters in Lands Between, as she grants players the ability to use Spirit Calling Bell, which gives them access to Spirit Ashes. As players continue their adventures in Liurnia of the Lakes, she will reappear with a series of quests for players to complete. To complete Ranni’s questline, players must travel to a hidden location called Nokstella, Eternal City, a hidden underground city filled with a variety of interesting enemies, mysterious lore, and fantastic scenery. However, getting there can be a hard process. This guide will detail how to reach Nokstella, Eternal City and collect the many valuable resources hidden there, such as Elden Ring Runes and items used to upgrade Spirit Ashes. Path 1 Step One: Starting Ranni’s Questline Starting Ranni, Witches’ long questline is the easiest way to get to Nokstella, Eternal City. First, you need to collect an item from Ranni. You will then need to make your way through Caria Manor, eventually defeating Royal Knight Loretta and fighting Glintstone Dragon Adula before visiting her in the tower at Ranni’s Rise in Three Sisters area of Liurnia of the Lakes. After successfully defeating the ghost of Loretta and confronting Adula, you will meet Ranni. After speaking with her, you will need to pledge your allegiance to Ranni, and only then will she give you the quest to retrieve Fingerslayer Blade from Nokron. Step Two: Getting Fingerslayer Blade For Ranni Go to Redmane Castle in the southeastern corner of Caelid to find and defeat Starscourge Radahn. Once you defeat this Scarlet Rot-infested demigod, his control over the universe will weaken, causing a comet to crash-land near Ancestral Woods, thus opening the way to the underground city of Nokstella. After making your way through the city and dealing with various skeletons, Nokstella warriors, and giant metal balls, you will fight the Mimic Tear boss. You will then open a Site of Grace called Mimic Tear at the base of a large bridge. Crossing this bridge, you will see a crack in the stone railing and a path leading down a hill. Follow the path down the hill and then up another hill and you will reach Ancestral Woods Site of Grace. You will then need to deal with Albinauric enemies as you make your way through the city. Finally, you will come to an area with another giant spherical enemy. Going out the front door of this area will take you to a path leading to another building and a series of Silver Tear enemies. The last Silver Tear in front of the building will turn into a giant. After defeating it, continue forward and find and open the chest under the giant skeleton to reveal Fingerslayer Blade. Step Three: Getting To Nokstella, Eternal City Once you have Fingerslayer Blade, give it to Ranni and you will gain access to Renna’s Rise. Climb to the top of the castle and use the portal there, and you will make it all the way to Ainsel River. First, go through Uhl Palace Ruins and then through the tunnel system that leads to Nokstella, Eternal City. Path 2 To reach Nokstella Eternal City via this path, you will need to deal with a pretty tough double boss fight. To do this, you need to return to Ancestral Woods Site of Grace, then go east, cross the road and enter a small forest area, after finding the spirit jellyfish continue to the right, you will eventually come to an area with numerous spirit jellyfish on the edge of a cliff. Keeping to the left wall will bring you to the edge of the cliff, jump down and continue along the path. You will reach another Site of Grace, continue forward into a tower and then enter Siofra Aqueduct. Go through this area all the way to the end. You will fight a Valiant Gargoyle & Valiant Gargoyle. These two fast-moving bosses are extremely difficult to deal with because of their powerful sweeping attacks and poisonous AoE. Successfully killing these bosses will grant you access to a new Site of Grace at the base of the waterfall, as well as a coffin that, when interacted with, will teleport you to Deeproot Depths. Heading north in this area, you’ll eventually find another coffin that will transport you to Ansel River Main, from where you can enter Nokstella, Eternal City. You can also reach Deeproot Depths by traversing Subterranean Shunning Grounds in Leyndell and fighting Mohg, Omen. After defeating the boss, go through a secret passage behind his reward chest to enter Deeproot Depths without having to travel to Nokron. This path will lock you into the Flame of Frenzy ending, though. Whichever path you choose to get here, be well prepared, as each step is filled with challenges and dangers. In addition, to make it easier to complete the above tasks, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which will post information about Elden Ring product giveaways sometimes. Hopefully, this guide will help you get to Nokstella, Eternal City, and have fun exploring it!Sep-17-2024

Elden Ring DLC: How To Buil ...
Souls games like Elden Ring have always had fantasy elements that are one of the biggest highlights of the game. In this popular game, you can play various characters, such as Mages, Knights, Samurai, and more. In addition, you can also use some hybrid classes, such as Paladin and Spellblade, which are mostly built around two or more attack attributes. When talking about Paladin, most players may think of him using his power to support or heal his allies. But in fact, he also has very powerful offensive abilities. This guide will help you choose the best items for your Paladin build in two aspects: armor and weapons. Depending on your gaming style and usage habits, you can choose the most useful ones. Best Armors When choosing Armors in Elden Ring, you need to consider not only the defensive stats of Armors but also the fashion, because this best represents the theme of the entire build. Paladin is introduced as a glorified holy knight, so you should be able to find several armor sets that match him in Shadow of the Erdtree. Solitude Set This is a new armor set added in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It has become a new favorite among players because it is very similar to Guts’ armor in the previous base game. Although this armor set looks very grim, it is indeed the most suitable for knight-like builds. Blackflame Monk Set Besides Grim Armor Set, another armor set that can be selected for Paladin Build is Blackflame Monk Set. In this dark and eerie Land of Shadow, the dark white and hooded Blackflame Monk Set will stand out more. But collecting Blackflame Monk Set is not a straightforward task, because there are only a few places where Blackflame Monks can be found, and even after you defeat him, the chance of dropping the parts in the set is very low. Even if you don’t get a full set of armor, don’t be discouraged. You will still get a lot of Elden Ring Runes. Haligtree Knight Set Gold is the symbol of Holy, whether in the base game of Elden Ring or in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The helmet in Haligtree Knight Set has a light golden hue, and there is a golden embroidery of Miquella’s Haligtree on the chest armor. This matches the description of the holy knight. Besides this appearance that is very suitable for Paladin Build, the entire armor set can also increase your Faith by 2 points. Don’t underestimate this number, it may make you burst out with powerful power in battle! Leyndell Knight Set The design of this set of armor is actually very similar to Haligtree Knight Set, but the golden hue will be a little stronger, which also means that the color of Holy will be stronger. Because it was originally designed to protect the knights who defended Royal Capital Leyndell, and Leyndell was always bathed in golden light at the foot of the Erdtree, Leyndell Knight Set would be more suitable for such a very powerful knight than Haligtree Knight Set. Tree Sentinel Set In Elden Ring, you will see Tree Sentinels everywhere, and they are also wearing golden armor. It is for this reason that Tree Sentinel Set has become the easiest armor set to get in Paladin Build. The posture of Tree Sentinel Set is very elegant, and its golden appearance matches the holy Erdtree incantations very well. If you use it in Land of Shadow, it may make your Paladin Build more eye-catching. In addition to the above armor sets, you can also choose other ones according to the habits of the used builds, such as Royal Knight Set, Malformed Dragon Set, Crucible Axe Set, and Crucible Tree Set. But it should be noted that you need to replace the helmet in Malformed Dragon Set. Best Weapons Elden Ring DLC also provides you with a lot of Holy weapons that can deal Holy damage to supplement the Paladin Build. In addition, you can also use some non-unique weapons infused with Ash of War to adapt this Strength-Faith build. Miquellan Knight’s Sword / Inseparable Sword Although Miquellan Knight’s Sword is a straight sword, both weapons have the same Ash of War, called Sacred Blade. After you have it, when you use both weapons, you will release the skill of firing holy projectiles. If you think these two weapons are too difficult to obtain, or the required attributes are too difficult, then you can directly get Ash of War Sacred Blade from Limgrave using Elden Ring Runes, which can be infused into any type of weapon. Golden Order Greatsword It is one of the few legendary armaments in the entire Elden Ring, forged by the second Elden Lord Radagon. This weapon is also a symbol of the tenets of Golden Order, so from this you should know that it also has the nature of Holy and is the best weapon for Paladin Build. But you may need to pay attention to it. Its Ash of War Establish Order is not very effective. So if you focus on the theme of the build rather than the damage in your item selection, then you can add Golden Order Greatsword to your options. Euporia This is a rare legendary twinblade found in Shadow of the Erdtree, and one of the most powerful Holy weapons in the DLC. Its unique skill, Euporia Vortex, is comparable to Comet Azur Spell, but it fires a holy beam instead of a beam of magic. Pretty tempting, isn’t it? But if you want to get Euporia, you’ll have to be prepared, as it’s located in the last area of Elden Ring DLC, so don’t rush to put it in your picks. Ordovis’s Greatsword This weapon has the standard moves of a Claymore greatsword, but its major strength lies in its skill, Ordovis’s Vortex. It’s the most powerful weapon in Strength-Faith builds like Paladin Build, as Faith can provide it with a very considerable AR boost, and Strength can bring you more bonus benefits. If you’ve considered Crucible Axe Set when choosing your weapon, why not swap it out for Ordovis’ Greatsword? They both do about the same amount of damage, but Ordovis’ Greatsword gives you more bang for your buck! These are some of the best choices for weapons and armor in Paladin Build. I hope it helps!

Elden Ring: The Best Route ...
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!Jul-14-2024
