Elden Ring DLC: How To Use Dryleaf Arts And Dane’s Footwork Effectively? - Locations & Builds

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.

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

Anvil Hammer is a new weapon added in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and it is also a very powerful weapon. As a Colossal Weapon, its moves are relatively slow, but its excellent damage data and high AOE damage make up for this shortcoming. Before you use Anvil Hammer, you need to make sure you have enough skill points to invest in Strength. only then can the Anvil Hammer reach its full potential. If you haven’t figured out how to build the best build for it, follow the steps in this guide and build the best build for various situations you encounter step by step. Strengths And Disadvantages Overall, the biggest power of Anvil Hammer is that it can cause a lot of Stagger Damage, coupled with high Poise Damage, which allows you to break most bosses’ postures in a simple 2-3 normal attacks. It is worth mentioning that with Hammer category of weapons, whether you use a light swing, a heavy attack, or a charged attack, every swing can break the enemy’s posture. You can use this type of weapon to face some hard-to-lock bosses in the DLC, such as Curseblades or Fire Knights, who will faint on the ground after you hit them. Having talked about the advantages, now let’s talk about the disadvantages. In addition to being too heavy and only being able to perform slow moves, there are really no other disadvantages. But you can help reduce the impact of this weakness through subsequent stat allocation or matching Elden Ring Items. Stats Allocation As mentioned earlier, Strength and Faith are the two most important attributes of Anvil Hammer. However, in terms of priority, Strength is more important than Faith. Besides these two stats, you also need to invest a little in Intelligence and Dexterity, but these two stats will not affect the damage output of the weapon, so you can choose. The remaining stats should be used on Vigor to increase your health. Or you can choose to put it on Endurance to help you increase endurance and weight. In addition, investing 25 in Mind can get more value from this weapon’s skill Smithing Art Spears, because it only costs 18 FP. Once you’re over level 150, you can focus on Strength and get it to 80, Faith to 60, and Vigor to 60. If gear load-out becomes an issue, it’s also a good idea to prioritize Endurance until you find a better with your armor of choice. Best Talismans Using Anvil Hammer with both hands will trigger Two-Handed Sword Talisman, which will help you increase your damage by 15%. For Shard of Alexander, you can use Ash of War Smithing Art Spears to burst out critical hits. This will allow you to end the fight more easily and obtain Elden Ring Runes faster. Two-Headed Turtle Talisman is a quality-of-life addition that allows you to restore your stamina at a very amazing rate, which will help you in some long-term battles. The above are your must-haves, but you can also choose some amulets for special combat situations. For example, Crimson Seed Talisman +1 will increase the amount of healing you receive from Flasks by 30%, which can help you when Vigor exceeds 60. In addition, if you plan to use Anvil Hammer and some shields for guard counterattacks, then Curved Sword Talisman is definitely your best choice. Best Incantations First, since it is a Faith-based build, Golden Vow and Flame, Grant me Strength are the best choices, because they can directly enhance your damage output and resistance. In addition, I want to tell you that Anvil Hammer is one of the few weapons in the game that has fire damage, so after you use these Incantations to enhance it, your fire damage will be immeasurable. For other Incantations, you can choose Electrocharge, so that you can passively enhance the damage when you use Anvil Hammer with two hands. Or Pest-Thread Spears can also provide you with a can’t miss ranged option, which is an easy way to deal with some agile enemies. Best Seal In fact, the choice of Seal is closely related to the choice of Incantations. If you don’t want to keep switching, you can directly choose Clawmark Seal, because it is very useful for both Strength and Faith builds. Best Crystal Tears In Elden Ring DLC, Flask of Wondrous Physick is mainly used in some tough boss battles to increase your chances of winning the battle. With this in mind, you can choose these two Crystal Tears to help you complete the battle. When you use Deflecting Hardtear, your spontaneous defense in the hybrid physics will be significantly increased, and it will last for 5 minutes. When you choose Greenspill Crystal Tear, your stamina in the hybrid physics will be temporarily increased for 3 minutes. You can also use your usual Crystal Tears instead of Greenspill Crystal Tear, which will have a different effect, but the 15% increase in base stamina will leave you with a little stamina after you are hit, which you may be able to used to counterattack or even defeat the enemy directly. After reading this guide, have you opened your game and decided to change your build? Hopefully, you can use Anvil Hammer effectively in combat and explore Elden Ring DLC! If you encounter any problems during the build process, you are welcome to come to iGMeet Discord to ask for help from the gamers. I’m sure they will be very happy to help you, and you will also have a chance to get some Elden Ring Runes as a bonus!

Curved Swords have always been a staple in Elden Ring, and since the early days of the game, there have been countless players who have liked this weapon. Curved Swords are often linked to Dexterity and are often proportional, making them ideal for use when you are using Bleed builds and swift attacks. Shadow of the Erdtree DLC successfully continues this tradition, and also adds some new weapons to Tarnished’s arsenal, allowing players to better choose different weapons according to different combat situations. This guide will introduce you to some very useful Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree, and you can choose Curved Swords you want in battle at your discretion. Dancing Blade Of Ranah Dancing Blade of Ranah is one of the best Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree, as it scales with your Dexterity. If you want to rely on this attribute to play in the DLC, then Dancing Blade Of Ranah will be a good choice. You can get this powerful weapon by killing Dancer of Ranah in Southern Nameless Mausoleum. But it should be noted that Dancing Blade Of Ranah cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War, and can only be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones. When you use Dancing Blade Of Ranah, you can actually feel it from the name. Its skill - Unending Dance allows you to initiate a dance-like action and swing the blade while bouncing. When you are surrounded by enemies, you can use it to protect yourself from being approached by enemies. Spirit Sword Spirit Sword is also a new Curved Sword in Shadow of the Erdtree. It looks more powerful than the regular Curved Sword, and in addition to Dexterity, it is also related to Intelligence and even Strength. It has multiple uses and is very cost-effective! In addition, this sword is said to be a medium for communicating with spirits, so in addition to Physical Damage, it can also cause considerable Magic Damage. When you switch from an enemy that cannot resist physical damage to an enemy that is vulnerable to magic damage, you don’t need to change weapons, just use Spirit Sword. Spirit Sword can be found in Cerulean Coast, specifically between Cerulean Coast West and Cerulean Coast Site of Grace. If you see several half-people areas during your exploration, then you are not wrong, which means you are not far from the location of the Spirit Sword. Like the other Curved Swords in this guide, the Spirit Sword cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War, and can only be upgraded with Somber Smithing Stones. Falx Falx is also mainly adjusted by Strength and Dexterity. It is a pair of Curved Swords that can be used in both hands at the same time. When Hornsent invades Rauh Ancient Ruins Site of Grace, you need to defeat it and you will pick up Falx from its corpse. If you like dual-wielding the scimitars of Warrior profession in the DLC and want to try different weapons, then Falx can perfectly match your requirements. Although Falx does not cause Elemental Damage to the enemy, its Physical Damage of up to 107 can make the enemy unable to parry. Its special skill, Revenger’s Blade, allows you to sprint forward a long distance and slash the enemy in the shape of an X. In addition, Falx paired Curved Swords has a passive effect that allows the enemy to accumulate bleeding unconsciously, which is very timesaving and labor-saving. Similarly, it cannot be enhanced. Horned Warrior’s Sword Horned Warrior’s Sword also adjusts its damage primarily through Strength and Dexterity, followed by Faith, and is one of the most complete Curved Swords in Shadow of the Erdtree. This weapon is usually found in the hands of Horned Warriors in the Lands of Shadow. You can choose to kill Horned Warrior in Belurat Tower Settlement swamp to obtain this weapon, or directly obtain it from any Horned Warrior who can wield this weapon. It doesn’t hurt. Like other Curved Swords, it cannot be enhanced or infused with Ashes of War. However, since this is a paired weapon and is also the most powerful part of the build, you only need to find one to get a pair of Horned Warrior’s Swords. Its skill is also very special. When you use Horn Calling, you will drive the sword into the ground and summon a very powerful and piercing horn in front of the enemy, which is very suitable for temporarily incapacitating enemies when they get too close. Horned Warrior’s Greatsword Speaking of some very powerful Curved Greatswords, we have to mention Horned Warrior’s Greatsword, which is much larger and heavier than the regular non-Greatsword version. This means that you need more Strength to pick it up, especially when using it one-handed. Compared to similar weapons, Horned Warrior’s Greatsword does not require farming, and only requires you to defeat Wind-Aspected Horned Warrior at the end of Enir Ilim. Although you can take it to the exchange to exchange for 200 Elden Ring Runes, it is better to keep it. Because not only does it have powerful special skills, especially when used with special amulets such as Millicent’s Prosthesis, it can unleash a lot of damage and even destroy the most powerful enemies, but it also scales equally with Strength, Dexterity, and Faith, making you a very balanced state. Freyja’s Greatsword The last one comes up, but it is definitely not the least important. Freyja’s Greatsword is mainly related to Strength, and secondarily to Dexterity. You will encounter Redmane Freya carrying it many times when exploring Lands of Shadow, but to obtain it, you need to defeat Freyja directly in Enir Ilim. Freyja’s Greatsword weighs 14 and requires your Strength attribute to reach 25, but its Physical Damage is as high as 146, which is very suitable for players who like Strength builds. They usually want to have a heavy weapon with good attributes and a weapon with 360-degree coverage. Freyja’s Greatsword will meet all their requirements. Have you chosen your favorite Curved Swords? If you have already chosen, then enter Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and start your exploration!
