Elden Ring: How To Master Dodge Rolls Mechanic In Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC Like A Pro?

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.

The most attractive items in Elden Ring are the armor and sets scattered around, which are essential for players who want to defeat powerful enemies. Many armors are equipped with unique defensive properties, which are effective against various elemental attacks and different types of damage. Read this guide to learn about the value and unique characteristics of these armors. 10. Divine Beast Head Divine Beast Head is the head of divine beast dancing lion that players must fight in Belurat Tower. This mask provides players with significant strength and dexterity increases, while also enhancing storm-related skills. Specifically, the player’s strength and dexterity are increased by 4 points each, making Divine Beast Head mask one of the most significant armors in the game. However, to balance this tremendous advantage, the helmet also weakens the effect of flasks and affects the player’s concentration. 9. Royal Remains Set Royal Remains Set is made of decayed and rusted metal. After wearing this armor set, the player will look like a living undead skeleton. This armor provides the player with a passive healing over time effect, which is a unique feature for an armor set. It is also great for those who are not too keen on managing health potions in combat. 8. Twinsage Glintstone Crown Twinsage Glintstone Crown is a tremendous boost to all mage builds. The crown makes the player look like two large stone heads fused together at the ears. The helmet increases the player’s intellect by 6 points, allowing many players to easily meet their spell and weapon requirements after equipping the helmet. However, wearing the helmet also comes at the cost of the player’s maximum HP and stamina, which are reduced by 9% respectively. For many mages, the benefits of this armor outweigh its disadvantages. 7. Mushroom Crown Tailored to the theme of rot and decay, Mushroom Crown is perfect for any scarlet rot or poison-based build. After inflicting a scarlet rot or poison status nearby, this helmet greatly enhances all damage. The damage boost applies 10% to all instances of damage for approximately 20 seconds. This buff can also stack with other poison-related buffs. 6. Black Knife Armor Black Knife Armor is adorned with a unique set of pearlescent scales, with a translucent cape covering the chest plate. This set of armor provides the wearer with complete stealth, allowing them to fulfill their dream of being an assassin in Lands Between. Players can get close to their enemies without alerting them. 5. Rakshasa Set Rakshasa Set is stained with blood, reeking of bloodshed and carnage. This set of armor provides the wearer with 8% overall damage boost. This is a significant boost, as it applies to all damage dealt by the player wearing it. However, the armor also effectively makes the player take the same percentage of damage. 4. High Priest Hat High Priest Hat is a very valuable piece of armor that many people may overlook. Obtained after completing Count Ymir questline in Cathedral of Manus Metyr, this helmet increases the intellect and arcane stats by 1 each. While this isn't the biggest boost in the game, it is free. It is one of the few Elden Ring Items in the game that gives a free dual stat boost. 3. Silver Tear Helmet Silver Tear Helmet is one of the biggest and most valuable stat boosters in the game. This mask features a unique design of a liquid metal teardrop on the player’s face. This helm maximizes the arcane stat, boosting it by a massive 8 points. However, this tremendous advantage also comes with a corresponding disadvantage. Equipping this mask will reduce physical damage output. But for any player who wants to create the most powerful arcane builds, this mask is a good choice. 2. Imp Heads Imp Heads are one of the most common enemy types in Catacombs, usually appearing in conjunction with Skeletons. Defeating these enemies can yield some valuable rewards. Each imp type has its own weapon and signature helmet, and each imp has a chance to drop its own unique helmet that provides different stat buffs to the player. However, some helmets have a drop chance of only 0.5%. After equipping these helmets, you will get a nice 2-point stat boost to intellect, strength, dexterity, and even endurance. 1. Guardian Garb Guardian Garb is worn by enemy guardians in Minor Erdtree. Any player who equips this chest armor will receive increased healing from flasks of crimson tears. Healing from a flask of sacred tears can be increased by 10%, and in some cases the player can even receive additional healing. However, this armor will reduce the player’s overall fire resistance. These armors not only help players gain an advantage in combat, but can also be selected according to different combat styles and needs. Whether pursuing strength, intelligence, or dexterity, the armor in Elden Ring can provide powerful support for players.

The latest update Elden Ring 1.14 changes the difficulty of the last boss Promised Consort Radahn, making this previously daunting boss accompanied with overwhelming easier to challenge and conquer. As we all know, FromSoftware is known for its challenging boss fights like Artorias, Nameless King, and Orphan of Kos, but the latest DLC is even more challenging, and the terrifying difficulty has refused mountains rookies and gain much complaints among fans. Therefore, here comes the chance for those medium players who are terrified by its horrible challenge difficulty, and if you are interested in fighting strangers, patch 1.14 also has provided some PvP and general balance adjustments for you. However, most players are not satisfied with the adjustment of the difficulty of the final boss challenge, but are more annoyed because they think it is a betrayal of the original intention of the game. The Details Of Update 1.14  The latest update has made some changes to PvP-exclusive balance adjustments in the aspects of equipment and skills. When fighting with other players, the damage that Backhand Blades, Spears, and Pata deal will be decreased. And headshot damage animation will not appear when using Spread Crossbow to attack another players as well. Here are some major updates and bug fixes for your reference: Adjusted the action pattern and attack moves when the battle kicks off. Decreased the damage of some attacks. Decreased stamina damage of some attacks. Decreased the attack range of some non-weapon-based attacks. Enhanced the visibility of some attack effects. As to a nightmare for many players to deal with, Promised Consort Radahn’s combat capabilities have also been nerfed significantly. And noticeably enhance the performance of some specific equipments like swords and spells which has disappointed players in the previous battles. Now comes the chance to embrace those Elden Ring Items to enhance your strength. And boss Rellana may be the biggest winner of this update, whose complete suite of equipment has appropriately been buffed to the moon. The Weakened Promised Consort Radahn Has Invited Complaints Promised Consort Radahn has been a nightmare for many players in the first stage, not to mention the addition of Miquella in the later phrase. This directly makes normal battles more crazy and difficult.  But as the hardest boss to deal with in the entire game, many players would rather fail in battle after battle than see Radahn weakened, because this would make the challenge meaningless, which contributes to the oldest argument about Souls games in existence. This complaint is mainly concentrated among those Souls veterans, who believe in the principle of continuing to challenge and become worthy after repeated failures.  According to the feedback of a player, as a Souls veteran with more than ten years of experience, he could almost always kill those powerful bosses with one hit in the early journey of DLC with the help of a well-optimized bleed build whose level is more than 400.  He took invading other players as fun and said he couldn’t remember the last time he failed. Then it was such a powerful player who was beaten and fled by this boss when he came up against the reborn Radahn at the very end. Although indulging in endless depression and loss at the beginning, he was finally inspired to make enough preparation for claiming a victory next time, such as to collect some of Scadutree Fragments. In the process of careful planning for a normal battle, he got endless satisfaction. However, this satisfaction is deprived by the weaken of Radahn. This made the battle lose its original meaning. This view is supported by most game fans. The Significance To Make Preparation For Fighting Last Boss In addition to the challenge significance mentioned above, it is also necessary to consider the setting of the entire game. It is designed to collect more Scadutree Fragments scattered all over the map to help defeat the ultimate boss.  Because this increases your exploration journey, and you will get to know what’s happened to Miquella and why Shadowlands are designed like this. So many revelations hide in DLC are waiting for you to disclose and many of them are jaw-dropping. Along the way to discover Scadutree Fragments, St. Trina's quest and the unbelievable story that happened in Cathedral of Manus Metyr will be revealed, the truth about Mohg be disclosed, and Marika’s childhood village be found. These fascinating stories and settings are also the meaning of the normal game, not just simply defeating a boss. Finally, when Scadutree Fragments have reached its perfect states, and burden the plea of ​​St. Trina’s with a new Katana in your hands, it is the death of Promised Consort Radahn. Because many players think that this weakening betrays the original intention of the game, because players will most likely skip the step of collecting Scadutree Fragments and kill the last boss directly, and also miss the very exciting plot in the journey. The above is about the weakening of Promised Consort Radahn and the discussion caused by it.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is widely considered one of the best DLCs in recent years, not only because it adds a variety of new bosses, armor, weapons, and new areas for players to explore, but also because it provides players with a lot of different lore stories from the base game. FromSoftware, the developer of Elden Ring, has always been known for having some of the most complex and dark backstories, and this DLC does not disappoint. If you think about some of the lore in Shadow of the Erdtree, you will find that it is actually very interesting. This guide will list a few for you. Romina And Scarlet Rot Players who have played Shadow of the Erdtree will definitely know that Saint of the Bud Romina is not the most tough boss in the game. But her creepy design and always unpredictable attacks will make you always a little annoying when facing her. In addition, she will cause a lot of Scarlet Rot, which will make your fight with her more difficult. Have you ever wondered why she could cause this passive effect? ​​And how did she get this deadly plague that defeated Caelid before? In fact, if you explore Land of Shadow carefully, it is not difficult to find that she has a mission to protect Church of the Bud from Messmer. But more players are more inclined to believe that she came across the divine elements of Scarlet Rot at some point and used it to protect herself and her beloved church. This allowed her to keep most of the church intact successfully, but the price paid was too high, as she transformed into the creepy crawler that players encountered in their travels. Players also believe that she is fully responsible for the spread of Scarlet Rot in Land of Shadow, and may even have played a role in spreading it to Middle Land. Miquella Since the base game of Elden Ring, Miquella has always been a very mysterious main character. Players know nothing about him except that he is Malenia’s brother and that he is trapped in Empyrean Cocoon in Mohgwyn Palace. Fortunately, in Shadow of the Erdtree, some of Miquella’s story, personality, and true intentions are unfolded in front of the player page by page, like a book. However, these differ completely from Miquella that players have imagined before, and even destroy the pure and noble image of Miquella in the players’ minds. As players explore Land of Shadow, they will find that this area has become one of the last resting places of Golden Order. Miquella’s intentions appear to be to create a new world of peace, justice, and harmony, but beneath this layer of appearance, he wants to do something improper. He is willing to do anything to achieve this goal, pretending that the end can justify the legitimacy of the means. In Miquella’s pursuit of this whitewashed goal, he lied, deceived, and manipulated many people, including his relatives. Mohg, who was used as a pawn by him, finally succumbed to his “master plan” so that Miquella would look more kind. Gate Of Divinity When Elden Ring first came to players’ attention, there was very little information about Empyreans in the game and how they ascended to godhood. Players only knew that the demigod Ranni was one of the top choices to replace Marika, and there were only a few other candidates on the waiting list, but that was it. Shadow of the Erdtree also answered many of the questions players have been asking for nearly two years, revealing the divine process of becoming a god in Lands Between. And in the last part of the DLC, players will reach the so-called Gate of Divinity, which sounds interesting and epic even without any background to it. Gate of Divinity is not only the battlefield for the last confrontation between players and Radahn Promised Consort in the DLC, but also the place where Empyreans ascended to godhood. While the actual process is unclear, it can be easily inferred that Miquella is the mastermind behind it all. He is looking for the ideal conditions to ascend and transform to reclaim his birthright. Jar Innards Many players may ignore Jar Innards enemies in Shadow of the Erdtree because they are ugly and very ordinary. They are just NPCs that players must defeat to unlock a certain area, and some players even just use them as a tool to obtain Elden Ring Runes. But if you watch their introduction carefully or understand their story, you will find that they were shamans before they were hunted by Hornsent and subjected to many cruel experiments. During the experiment, Hornsent would first chop them into pieces, then put them in a jar and deprive them of their sanity, turning them into mindless creatures that can only attack. This not only fully illustrates the nature of Hornsent but also how cruel Lands Between and Land of Shadows are. So you can always think about this question with every creature of Defiled you encounter in the subsequent games: Are they pure evil, or once noble tortured souls? Reasons For The Fight Between Malenia And Radahn In addition to the fact that players will completely change their views on Miquella in the DLC, Radahn will also change because players will learn a terrible truth. In the base game, players know that Caelid has always been influenced by the previous battle between Radahn and Malenia. When this epic battle ended in a draw, Malenia unleashed Scarlett Rot on the area, becoming the phenomenon of all corruption in the player’s eyes. This not only made Caelid one of the most tough places to explore but also destroyed Radahn’s mind, turning him into a meaningless beast. But the story does not seem to end yet. It has been established that Miquella is not a so-called “good guy”. He is manipulative and has evil intentions. In order to fulfill his birthright as a god, he needs to meet the appropriate conditions, one of which is to make his half-brother Radahn his spouse. Not surprisingly, Radahn refused this plan, which triggered this long-standing conflict. Perhaps in the subsequent base game or DLC, the developers will have a clearer explanation of the details of this battle. The above is some interesting lore in Shadow of the Erdtree. If you have already explored the main content of the DLC, you might as well explore it carefully in Land of Shadows. You may find unexpected surprises!
