Elden Ring DLC: How To Make Your Golem Fist Stronger? - Pros And Cons, Stats And Matching Items

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.

With the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, Sorceries and magic have returned in force, and players have discovered that there are a ton of spells and staffs to use. Each staff has something that sets them apart, and each has a different purpose. Some staffs enhance certain spells, while others have incredible scaling. For example, some staffs can cause bleed damage and scarlet rot effects on enemies. Choosing the right staff in the game can make your quest or combat much easier. Glintstone Staff Glintstone Staff is a great starting Prisoner staff, as it only requires regular smithing stones to upgrade this Elden Ring Items, and Intelligence is something you need to focus on. While the Glintstone Staff doesn’t have any skills or associated buffs, it’s a great all-around choice for players who are just getting started with Prisoner in Elden Ring. This magic root is used by Prisoner by default, but can also be picked up by Noble Sorcerer enemies in Caria Manor later in the game. Astrologer’s Staff Among the first class staffs, Astrologer’s Staff is arguably the best for players who want to build a pure magic build early on. Its Intelligence stat is higher than Glintstone Staff overall, and it improves more with each upgrade. Glintstone Staff is more suitable for flexible builds, while Astrologer’s Staff is more suitable for full magic builds. If you’ve been looking for a handy staff, you can’t miss Astrologer’s Staff. It can be used to maximize your efficiency for a large part of your introductory period, and its high Intelligence stat can make you feel accomplished when fighting against early monsters. Demi-Human Queen’s Staff This staff will probably be the first major upgrade for most sorcerers in Elden Ring. Demi-Human Queen’s Staff can be obtained by defeating a small boss in Demi-Human Forest Ruins. However, it is not without its shortcomings. Its expansion is weak, so you can still use Astrologer’s Staff mentioned above in the early game. When your other attributes are a bit higher, you can use it to add a little magic to your build. Crystal Staff In Academy Crystal Cave, you can find the staff behind the fake wall in front of the boss’s door. If you still can’t see it, you can try to go a little further to the right room. Although it only provides a 10% increase in Crystalian Sorceries, this increase can often mean a completely different result - life or death? Unlike Rotten Crystal Staff, the basic Crystal Staff will not cause any accumulation when used as a melee weapon. But it can’t help but look beautiful - the whole body looks like a sapphire. But it is not a beautiful waste at all, and it can make exploration easier for you with eight Strength and a staggering forty-eight Intelligence. Gelmir Glintstone Staff Like other aspects of Elden Ring, it allows players to build their own characters specifically to showcase their desired fighting style. Among high-level players, most focus on Faith and Intelligence. For mages who want to replicate the high-level player path, Gelmir Glintstone Staff will be their most powerful weapon, as it increases the effectiveness of lava-centric spells by 15%. To get it, you need money to go to Volcano Manor to find Man-Serpent Sorcerer, and you also need to fight it in the throne room. After succeeding, you will find Gelmir Glintstone Staff on the ground. Staff Of Loss Many Elden Ring players will consider what is more effective? Is it a powerful attack that the enemy can see and avoid? Or a smaller damage that is unpredictable? Staff Of Loss can solve your second half of the problem, both casting spells that make the enemy unpredictable and creating a lot of damage. Elden Ring has two specific Invisibility Sorceries, namely Night Shard and Night Comet. So in a sense, Staff Of Loss is closely related to both spells. Staff Of Loss can be found on a corpse located in Town of Sorcery, Sellia. This staff increases the effectiveness of both spells by 30%, but in the dual-wielding New Game+ build this can be increased to 60%! Carian Glintstone Staff In the game, staff wielders are often seen as more passive combatants, as they seem to only be willing to face enemies from a comfortable distance and are unwilling to engage in close combat. But Carian Glintstone Staff completely breaks tradition by adding 15% power to the Carian sword sorceries, allowing you to cast Void Blade on any enemy that stands in your way. If you know Carian Study Hall’s Liurnia of Lakes, then finding Carian Glintstone Staff is very simple. It is on a corpse in the second elevator. Carian Regal Scepter For casual players who don’t want to specialize in a particular type of spell, but just want a staff that can do everything, Carian Regal Scepter is perfect for them. To get it, you need to first give Remembrance of Full Moon Queen to Enia in Roundtable Hold. After you complete this quest, you need to go to Rennala at the top of Raya Lucaria Academy inside of the library to get this Elden Ring Item. Carian Regal Scepter relies mainly on Somber Smithing Stones to upgrade, which means its attributes are also unique. So you have to be unique to use it - Intelligence must be 69 or higher. How many of these staffs have you obtained now? Have you used them to their maximum effect? ​​I hope you have fun playing Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree!

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

For a Samurai build who wants to level up quickly in the latest expansion, I prefer to prioritize finding one of the newest weapons that fits our play style, Great Katana. Many players are also looking forward to getting this weapon. If you want to get Great Katana as early as possible in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree without being spoiled, then don’t miss this guide. In this guide, I tell you the best way to get the earliest Great Katana in the game, as spoiler-free as possible so that you can get a fresh experience before venturing into the core of DLC. At the same time, here I also provide my first impressions of Great Katana. Without further ado, let’s get started! Great Katana Breakdown Great Katana is a new weapon in Shadow of the Erdtree. This Heavy weapon is a sound choice for those who like to use Katana but want to stance-break more effectively and deal more damage at the same time. Great Katana scales primarily with Strength and Dexterity, making it one of the best weapon choices for Dexterity and Arcane Builds. In addition, this weapon comes with Ash of War: Overhead Stance. When using Ash of War, you can enter a stance that holds Katana high above your head. Normal attacks will push you forward for a downward slash, while heavy attacks will do a series of overhead slashes. Location To get this super cool weapon, we still need to access DLC. You need to first defeat Starscourge Radahn, then go to Mohgwyn Palace and defeat Mohg, Lord of Blood. Once you’ve completed both of these steps, you can interact with Miquella’s Cocoon, which is located in Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum, where you’ll fight Mohg, thus entering Land of Shadow and starting DLC. Although we need to enter DLC to get this weapon, luckily, we don’t have to fight any bosses in Land of Shadow. Once you enter DLC area, we just need to head straight to it. This is a real Godsend, as it’s not far from your first Site of Grace, Gravesite Plain. From Gravesite Plain Site of Grace in DLC, we need to head north. To speed things up, you can ignore all the enemies you may encounter along the way. Of course, if you’re not in a hurry, you can just hack and slash around to collect some Elden Ring Runes. Our goal is to reach a lake located just north of our current location. Now, if you look at the map, you’ll see that there are three large lakes around this area, but the one we need to go to is the middle one. Once you reach the location, you’ll notice a sleeping dragon. You don’t need to fight this mini-boss, as you can get around it by crouching down. Note that there is a corpse near the dragon, and that’s the corpse we need to loot. Slowly crouch down close to the corpse and loot it to get Great Katana. It’s totally simple and easy. Personal Impressions Great Katana looks and feels great when wielded. I knew this weapon would resonate with me the first time I saw it, and it didn’t disappoint. All of its current moves are really refreshing. Its normal attack reminds me of Monster Hunter’s Longswords, especially when performing an upward swing. Its basic skill Overhead Stance is definitely familiar and Sekiro players will notice it immediately because it is similar to Ichimonji Combat Arts. There is no doubt that this skill hits like a truck. However, because of its long preparation time, doing this stance may be intimidating to some people. But since I go for skill, I am happy with it. Of course, if you don’t like this skill, you can always change it. Not to mention that we will see a lot of new Ashes of War in DLC area, which makes this weapon have a longer range, so I think it will be a deadly tool when playing PVP. As for damage, Great Katana hits hard at the maximum upgrade, but its slow attack speed is very obvious. When dealing with fast-moving targets or bosses, such as Maliketh, the Black Blade and others, the safest attack we can perform per opening is two or three hits. Conclusion Overall, Great Katana feels really good so far and it hasn’t been disappointed. I can’t wait to build around it, and just thinking about the different Samurai theme setups we can get from it makes me excited. So, expect me to provide an early Samurai Build in case you want to use such a build for your first play with this weapon in DLC. My major goal is to get you to master this weapon, so stay tuned. Anyway, I hope you found this quick guide useful. Of course, this is not a be-all and end-all guide for Great Katana, as we’re sure to discover more potential for this legendary weapon as time goes on. Do you think this DLC is worth trying so far? If you already own this weapon, please share your experience with us!
