For new players. Touch the sight of grace near the dragon. Once he’s close to death. Hop on your horse and hit him slowly. When he hits 0hp he will do a flinch animation. When that happens sprint to the sight of grace before the dragon heart pops up. And touch grace. When you back out. You will have 50k rune and he will respawn every time.

After Killing the dragon, you could also get the Legendary "Radagon's Soreseal" Talisman inside the building, next to the grace of the elder dragon. You don't have to kill any mobs for the Talisman, just run through the building, climb the ladder, and drop in the correct hole, there you can drop again to the talisman and loot it (cou can watchan another youtube video for that). The Talisman gives you +5 on 4 of your stats, which is like another 20 lvl.

Note to anyone doing this. In ‘Fort faroth’ just behind the grace there is a golden rune you can pick up. Go in the fort, dash left to avoid enemies, climb the ladder and jump down the second hole in the floor. Then go right and the golden rune will be on a dead body. This will give you an additional 10% or something around there. Additionally, instead of the weapon shown in this video, you are able to find a flail in a chest near the gate front bandit camp. This does require dexterity to wield, but it means you don’t have to wander south of the map. Hope this helps whoever’s reading. This game is magnificent.

It's not just from killing that dragon. When you kill it, you'll notice all the other little wrymlings nearby die as well. You basically killed an elder dragon and like ten other dragons at the same time.

If u go to liurnia highway north you will see some ghosts and solders fighting. Don’t fight back but just go to a high cliff next to the road and as they kill each other you will absorb runes each time u can restart the fight by resting at the grace site down the road south the fighting is north. It’s easy if u follow the road I just received 5000 runes with out doing anything no need to get any special items just wait on a high cliff and u will absorb runes. But watch out for the larger boss ( unless u want to fight) he can be activated if u get close to the road but not too close and then run back to a cliff or rock near the road.

[@stormdivision617]

@@caydenjurgensen5511 so it’s a one time thing, but I have heard that you can do it multiple times if you haste to the grace with your horse and rest as the dragon is dying. Apparently that prevents the dragon from dying and you still get runes. Not too sure how exactly that works so I’d look up a video. I wouldn’t sweat it tho, there comes a time where you consider 90k a whole lot anyway so even if the dragon is gone the boost in runes should help you out a tone for the time being.

[@rokzerogaming]

When you get to the minor erd tree instead of taking his route use the spirit spring behind the tree. It will take you directly behind the dragon near the grace. Also this dragon can be farmed infinitely if you get it to the last bit of health before it dies call your horse and kill the dragon on horse back. As soon as you see the death animation run to the grace and rest at the grace. You will get 50,000 runes but the dragon will still be alive. You can keep doing this as many times as you like.

[@rokzerogaming]

@@Horne_Baka yes unfortunately but there is another farming method you could do using the Celebrant's Hammer with the White Shadow Lure equipped to it. Find a decent sized group and use the Lure. You will get 20 runes for every enemy you lure in a single use. If you have a alot pf flasks that will help in between grace rests. I have 13 flasks and that gets me 20,000 runes doing this method.

[@loraelstad8941]

Thank you for making these reasonably length and detailed guides. I am helping to save my hubby’s bacon (Bandit class doing magic/weapons build) in Elden Ring & will also utilize them once I get properly started again, having only just breached the tutorial dungeon to reach outside. I am particularly looking forward to tips on a build for Prophet class. But, I may also change to Astrologer for mor magic than faith build. Still unsure. Would love your opinion.

[@BeenScratching]

Agree!

[@yerpderp6800]

My main is prophet, roleplaying as a mad monk/healer. It depends on your play style, if you want to optimize for damage then you want to dump runes in mind and faith (40/60 are good caps), some intelligence too for sorceries and dragon incantations if that's what you're interested in (I personally don't). I play as a hybrid between support and glass cannon, depending on the situation I switch between roles, but you can also build out to something like a paladin (so strength and vigor becomes important with some endurance, you can slack on mind). I definitely don't recommend the glass cannon build if you're a beginner, one-shotting mobs from the beginning is cool but you're very very squishy the entire time and the build doesn't really shine until mid game where you don't have to worry as much about fp. If you're planning on doing co-op with your husband then you can look into builds that supplement his build's weaknesses. He is probably going to be a little squishy if he went bandit; he can take the dps role while you can tank for him. If you're set on prophet then I think paladin would work well, you can give buffs and healing. If you really want to optimize then I would figure out the main stats you're interested in (if you're going paladin then it will be strength, vigor, and endurance with faith and mind being secondary), tally up the total each class gives you, and subtract by the class' starting level; the higher the number, the better it will be in the long-run for spending the fewest amount of runes to reach your target stats. You can get a lot more complex than that but I think it's a good enough starting point (assuming you're interested in starting over. You'll have plenty of opportunities to respec your stats if you want to try something different, just make sure to not sell weapons and armor that don't have duplicates so you don't accidentally sell vital build gear like I did 😞)

[@loraelstad8941]

@@yerpderp6800 Thank you for the advice. Sounds like a solid starting point. I played Dark Souls b4, but builds are never really my thing, so I always appreciate input. I definitely like to have damage as a focus because I play solo. I wish I could co op with my hubby, but there is no couch co op. We’d have to have 2 systems and TVs & maybe copies of the game for that, so it’s not happening. As for accidentally selling unique gear, I tend to be a hoarder, so that’s not likely to happen. It’ll probably all end up in my storage. 😄

[@StillOnTrack]

Are you talking about the combat tutorial that you jump down into? Next to the corpse on a chair? I jumped in there by mistake as an Astrologer my first go-round and felt that this area really was geared toward physical combat, found it really hard for a starting-level mage. My second attempt realized I didn't have to jump down there. Went left up the stairs and out the door instead, haha. I'd have felt more silly if it wasn't for the fact that so much isn't explained.

[@loraelstad8941]

@@StillOnTrack I needed the combat tutorial to figure out the controls. And, afterward, had only just emerged to Limgrave. B4 getting further in, had wanted to figure out if I should make a different character as Astrologer instead of Prophet bcuz I wasn’t sure if regular magic spells were better than Faith ones. I know I didn’t HAVE to jump down there, by the corpse in the chair, but I wanted to.

For those wondering i just started yesterday and yes it is still working, i suggest running further down from the dragon hitting spot shown and getting the grace then attacking the dragon from the tail, then just when he start shaking when his hp drops to 0 run to the grace and interact which will give u 50k runes but allow u too do this as long as u dont let the dragon die

[@mathewkahotea3809]

Okay i did a little testing and it seems u must hit it in the place shown in the video until its quite low then hop on ur horse and attack at the tail until its death animation in order to recieve the runes, if u attack the tail only for some reason u get no runes and the boss stays alive

You can also use the uchigatana to do it if you start as the samurai or go and find the other uchi in a cave they also cause bleed and if you start as a samurai it cuts a lot of what you need to do out since you don't need to go and get the Morningstar you already have a bleed weapon with the Katana

[@mikesmith9676]

Hi. I got the items in the 1st two steps. ..... and with the boost got the number of runes as shown in the video exactly. I'm not an experienced player at all but for me all the steps in the video worked and I was able to level up my character quickly. However the best way to get runes is the boulder evasion method as it gets you almost 2000 runes every 30 seconds or so and that is without any gold pickled foul foot. I spent an hour every other day just avoiding the bo6kder, getting 2000 runes, resting by the grace site and then dodging the boulder again for another 2000 runes. Took me a few minutes to work out exactly how to avoid the boulder but after that it was incredibly easy and useful. Good luck

[@loosedgaf887]

@mikesmith9676 i actually just saw that method today. Anyway i found out that reason for the differences was due to not updating the game when installed.
