Elden Ring DLC: How To Find Nokstella Eternal City In Shadow Of The Erdtree?

In Elden Ring, different weights of Armor are divided into different levels, and each level has a series of armors with unique functions. The advantage of Heavy armor is that it can provide high damage negation and resistance. Players can choose to obtain many heavy armor sets, but not all heavier weight armor has better performance. Here are the heaviest armor sets you can consider when looking for solid protection. 11. Banished Knight Set It is a heavy armor set known for its excellent defensive capabilities. It is moderately heavy, so players don’t need to invest too much stats in endurance to wear it. Although this set weighs less than Lionel’s set, it can provide higher physical damage negation. Players in Elden Ring can drop fragments of this set and a certain number of Elden Ring Runes by defeating the extremely dangerous Banished Knights in the game multiple times. 10. General Radahn Set Radahn’s unique appearance makes him leave a deep impression in the game. By wearing General Radahn’s gear, players can emulate him. General Radahn Set is not only excellent in terms of practicality, but also in terms of defense and appearance. It has excellent durability and can effectively resist Hemorrhage and Frostbite. This armor set is slightly heavier than Banished Armor set and provides higher defense, but reduces some movement speed. 9. Gaius Set Gaius Set is challenging to obtain. Players need to defeat Commander Gaius in DLC. Although Gaius Set is relatively light, it has excellent durability and defense, especially against Slash and Piercing attacks. Equipping this set requires some points in endurance and players need to fight a warrior. 8. Tree Sentinel Set Many players have died fighting Tree Sentinels when exploring The Lands Between in the early game. Now players can obtain golden armor worn by Tree Sentinels. This golden armor has excellent physical and magical defense. To obtain this armor, players need to successfully destroy three chariots in Auriza Hero’s Grave, which is definitely worth the effort. 7. Veteran’s Set Veteran’s Set is highly favored by players for its excellent poise in its weight class. Veteran’s Set is worn by Commander Niall, the veteran soldier of Sol. Compared with other sets with similar appearances, Veteran’s Set has shown superior performance in many aspects. 6. Lionel’s Set Lionel’s Set may not be everyone’s first choice based on its appearance. However, this set of equipment is worth much more than its appearance. Lionel’s Set shows extremely high poise, which can help players resist enemy attacks. Lionel’s Set is very suitable for players who like close combat. It is not only durable but also enhances the player’s combat advantage. In addition, Lionel’s Set has good magical defense. 5. Omen Set Omen Set may look unpleasant, but it’s actually quite useful. It’s available after defeating Dung Eater in Subterrarean Shunning Grounds at Leyndall Royal Capital. Omen Set increases the damage of both Omen Bairn and Regal Omen Bairn by 5%. But if players can look past its cosmetic flaws, it’s a very practical choice. 4. Solitude Set Solitude Set is available after defeating Blackgaol Knight in the early stages of DLC. This armor set offers excellent defensive capabilities. It has the highest Focus resistance in the game, making it more effective against attacks that inflict sleep or madness. In addition, Solitude Set is also very stylish in terms of appearance. 3. Fire Prelate Set Fire Prelate Set can be a lifesaver for players in some tough times. It has very good defensive stats, especially protection against fire. Fire Prelate Set also has excellent physical and magical damage negation properties. With these sturdy properties, players wearing Fire Prelate Set can gain a clear advantage against both gods and other players. 2. Verdigris Armor Set Verdigris Armor Set raises the standard of armor in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to a new level, even surpassing Bull-Goat set to become one of the best choices for heavyweight armor in the game. With 100 poise and great defensive stats, it focuses mainly on enhancing immunity and robustness, and performs well in resisting slash attacks. 1. Bull Goat Set Bull Goat set is one of the players’ excellent choices of defending against enemy attacks. However, it is also the heaviest armor in the game. With its excellent resistance to physical and magical damage, Bull Goat set creates an impenetrable line of defense between players and enemies. The set is adorned with a pair of massive horns and has a massive poise of 99.99, allowing it to withstand the most powerful attacks. Bull Goat Set has the highest poise and physical defense properties of all the armor in the game. Although the player’s movement speed will be limited when wearing it, you will appreciate the protection this armor provides when facing the challenges in The Lands Between. Although heavy armor will limit the player’s movement speed, the advantages they provide in terms of damage reduction and resistance are often worth this sacrifice. Therefore, choosing a heavy armor set that suits you will help players survive the treacherous environment of The Lands Between.

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!

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!

If you want to become the most powerful Samurai in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, then do not miss this guide. Here we will bring you Moonlight Katana Samurai Build. We will cover its play style, gear to use, best Talismans for this build, tips for using the game, and more. With this guide, you will eventually master the great power of Moonlight and have fun in the new DLC. Gameplay With Transient Moonlight, Moonlight Samurai can deal tremendous damage from both melee and ranged. The skill of releasing shockwaves, which is great for ranged attacks, however, in melee range you will deal even more damage because Katana will also hit the enemy. Moonlight Samurai has high Intelligence and Dexterity, allowing the user to perform all the most powerful magic to their liking. With this build, you will cast a lot of Stance damage and tear bosses to pieces with ease. Gear Now that the basic play style is out of the way, let’s move on to the best weapons for Moonlight Samurai. Main Weapon: Moonveil Katana Let’s start with the main weapon for Moonlight Samurai, which is without a doubt Moonveil Katana. To use it effectively, the user needs 12 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 23 Intelligence, and it scales primarily with Intelligence and Dexterity. But its best feature is the aforementioned Transient Moonlight skill, which gives the user versatility in combat. This weapon can deal with regular Unsheathe attacks with a special arching shockwave when L2+R1 is pressed. R1 Transient Moonlight is often used to deal with large groups of enemies, while pressing L2+R2 allows for an overhead Unsheathe attack with a vertical projectile, similar to Ash of War: Unsheathe. This will become your go-to skill, especially when dealing with bosses. Many times, enemies’ stances will be broken because of the massive Stance damage of this skill. Secondary Weapon: Carian Glintblade Staff Next, I decided to go with Carian Glintblade Staff as a secondary weapon, since this build is centered on Intelligence, anyway. This Staff requires 6 Strength, 22 Intelligence, and 12 Dexterity to use effectively. I chose this Staff because it boosts the strength of Glintblade Sorceries by 15%, and we’ll be using either Glintblade or Greatblade Phalanx Sorceries in this build. Of course, if you have more Elden Ring Runes budget, you can also use Azur’s Glintstone Staff, which will give you more casting time. Sorceries Speaking of Sorceries, I chose Phalanx Sorceries for more Stance damage, and it also matches up well with Moonlight Sumarai. Glintblade Phalanx Or Greatblade Phalanx Also, I recommend using either Glintblade Phalanx or Greatblade Phalanx as a secondary damage source. Both of these Sorcery will help you deal extra raw and Stance damage, which will complement your Moonveil Katana while not disrupting your attack rotation too much. Glintblade Phalanx only costs 18 FP to use, while Greatblade costs 30 FP, so this is something you’ll want to consider as well. You can use either one, it all depends on your preference. But personally, I use Glintblade Phalanx for lower FP costs, and I tend to focus on using Moonveil instead of casting Glintblade Phalanx. Terra Magica The next Sorcery on the list is Terra Magica, which casts a magic puddle or a sigil that increases magic damage by 35% for 30 seconds. All of our damage sources are magic based, so this will improve the overall damage of the build. Talismans Next, let’s get into the best Talismans for this build. Shard Of Alexander The first Talisman on the list is our Shard of Alexander. This provides a 15% increase in skill damage, especially when performing a Transient Moonlight. Magic Scorpion Charm Next up is Magic Scorpion Charm. Since we’re dealing primarily magic damage with this build, the 12% extra magic damage this amulet provides will be beneficial in exchange for the 10% increase in physical damage taken. Green Turtle Talisman The next Talisman on the list is Green Turtle Talisman, which increases Stamina recovery and is one of the go-to Talismans I use because my gameplay and strategy always revolves around ultra-aggressive gameplay and strategy, so most of the time, my Stamina is running low. So, the faster my Stamina recovers, the more damage I can do to the enemy. Carian Filigreed Crest Finally, for general use, I recommend Carian Filigreed Crest. This Talisman reduces FP cost of skills by 25%, allowing you to deal more Transient Moonlights before popping a Cerulean Tear. Stats Let’s move on to Moonlight Samurai’s stats. Starting with Vigor, it has 40 points assigned to it. If you feel like you need more HP to survive, feel free to bump it up to 45-50 since we’ll be using Godrick’s Great Rune later on, anyway. And since I’m used to Glass Cannon builds, I don’t usually invest a lot of points in Vigor. Next up is Mind, which has 30 points assigned to it since this is a build that requires FP. Constantly using Transient Moonlight while setting up buffs will deplete your FP, so I highly recommend having at least 30 points in Mind. Moving on to Endurance, it has 40 points assigned to it since the intended gameplay of Moonveil Samurai is super aggressive. You’ll be spending most of your time face-to-face with bosses, or pulling out Transient Moonlight from a distance. Personally, I deplete Endurance faster than anything when optimizing for combat, so I highly recommend having at least 40 points in Endurance. I consider Endurance to be the offensive stat in any Souls game I play, because the more stamina you have, the more damage you can do. Next Strength is at least 18, so you will use Nagakiba. Also, I recommend at least Dexterity at 60 and Mind at 75, so you can maximize the damage of Moonveil Katana and Glintblade Phalanx or any magic you want to use later. For Faith and Arcane, 0 points have been assigned to them since we don’t need these stats in this build. How To Optimize This Build? Now that stats are out of the way, let’s move on to Moonlight Samurai gameplay tips and optimization techniques. Learn 5 useful tips that will help you master this build. Utilizing Wakizashi The first tip I have for you is to prepare Wakizashi and fuse it with Ash of War: Golden Vow. Having the ability to cast Golden Vow will increase your damage by 11.5% and increase damage negation by 7.5% across the board. Optimize Your Opener The second tip on the list is to optimize your Opener. At the start of a fight, I usually cast Flask of Wondrous Physick first, get more magic and stance, then cast Golden Vow, and have my Glintblade Phalanx ready. Finally, rush the boss and start casting Transient Moonlight. During this time, try to deal as many attacks as you can, as the stance buff from physics doesn’t last. If you manage to fight off the boss, you will have a huge upper hand. Use Terra Magica Effectively The third tip on the list is to make sure you cast Terra Magica and stand on Sigil first, then use Transient Moonlight in succession. You can also do this at the melee range to deal as much damage as possible. Prepare A Katana We never know how many magic-resistant enemies DLC will throw at us, so preparing at least another Katana, such as Nagakiba, will still give you an advantage. Customize The Build The last tip on the list is to customize the build to your liking. As mentioned before, this build has access to the most powerful Sorceries in the game, so if you don’t like my personal setup, feel free to get creative. You can be a full mage with this build, as you will have high Dexterity anyway, so your cast times will be much faster. Utilizing spells such as Comet Azur or other destruction spells in the game may give you more options or variety in combat. Consider changing Staff to Azur’s Glintstone Staff if you choose to go this route. That’s it for the complete guide to building this Moonlight Katana Samurai Build. Hopefully, it helps you get off to a better start as you enter Shadow of the Erdtree!
