Forsaken Depths in Elden Ring is quite more of an optional location and it’s a lot different from many other locations such as Temple of Eiglay and Abandoned Coffin. It is secretly hidden down the depths which can only be accessed from Subterranean-Shunning Grounds.  Forsaken Depths has various things to do like defeating the Omen boss called the Mohg and find out tons of rewards in the sewers. In this guide, we have uncovered everything that you need to know.  Route to Forsaken Depths In order to explore the Forsaken Depths, you need to head to Subterranean-Shunning Grounds. This exact place is located in Leyndell, Ashen Capital. When you are visiting for the first time the main door will be locked which works as a shortcut. So, first, we will unlock that door and it will be a bit longer route.  Unlocking Shortcut Once you have entered the Shunning Grounds there will be a site of grace in front of you, from this point head straight and turn on the left side, you will encounter various enemies on this path, it’s your choice to take them down or simply move on. Go straight from this path, and at the end, you will see an opening in the ground, jump in and follow this route. Take the first right, these will be the sewers. It will be a bit dark in there, a torch will help you along the way. Just keep on moving in the same sewer skipping the first two exits, the third exit will have a bar-type door, so enter through it.  Follow the same sewer until the end and you will reach into a small room with a ladder.  Head straight through the huge wooden door and drop down the ledge on your left side to the lower floor. Go downstairs and take the exit on your right. Follow the path and exit through the doors, take the left route, and follow the sewers next to the stairs.  Take the first right inside the sewers, go straight, and take the second right. It takes you to a huge room with an enemy in there. Quickly traverse the room and climb up the ladder. Cross the wooden bridge and open the wooden doors. There you have the shortcut opened. This is the exact place from where we started, rest at the site of grace to save the shortcut progress.  Heading to Forsaken Depths Now, once the door is open, get back to the wooden bridge and jump on the huge pipes. Keep running on the pipes and head to the point where it ends. Now, jump down through the right side on the lower floor.  Traverse the wooden structure and enter through the opening on the right side. Jump down on the pipes again and enter through the opening. Follow the sewer, skipping the first two exits. Take the third exit which will be on your left.  Jump down turn back, and continue the sewers that take you to the lower side. Climb down the ladder and you will end up in a huge room. There will be an elevator on the right side. This elevator takes you into the depths and exactly to the Forsaken Depths.  Exiting the ladder and heading straight into the door in front takes you to the boss area. Here you can start the fight with Mohg. But before you do that, rest at the site of grace which is just in front of you as you exit the elevator.  Forsaken Depth Mohg Boss Fight Compared to many other bosses in Elden Ring, Mohg is quite more powerful but it is also weak against various types of attacks which makes the fight sort of easier.  Mohg has resistance to fire, so you should avoid these types of attacks. Instead use the following attack types, standard, stack, slash, and pierce. As the fight starts, Mohg will have blood loss around it which can be used as a weakness against it. Equipping Lord of Blood’s Exultation talisman will grant you a boost of 20% attack power. This will only happen when there will be blood loss.  This boss fight is divided into two phases, the first phase ends when Mohg’s health reaches 50%. During the second phase, it will cast a spell called Bloodboon Ritual, healing itself and inflicting a blood loss effect on the player.  This second phase gets a bit tougher but you have to take advantage of its weaknesses and use the corresponding attack types to quickly finish it off.  FAQs  Where is the Elevator to the Forsaken Depths?  The elevator that takes you to the boss area in Forsaken Depths is located in the depths when you head down from the huge sewer pipes located next to the wooden bridge of the Subterranean-Shunning Grounds wooden door.  You will have to follow the sewers and take the routes inside that go towards the lower area, eventually you reach the end of the sewers where you will see a ladder, that takes you to the room with the elevator.  If you liked this guide then you will definitely love our guide on how to store runes & Astrologer class guide!

Abandoned Coffin in Elden Ring is located in a place where you will face some major threats. But, this exact spot can be rewarding as well. It is situated near the hilly area of Altus Plateau, a place where a boss also spawns.  Paying a visit to Abanondoend Coffin can be extremely rewarding but you have to look out for things with a little extra attention since there are many hidden items. There is also a site of grace near Abandoned Coffin which makes it easier for you to clear out threats in the area. Let’s dive deeper to find out more! Abandoned Coffin Location  Reaching the Abandoned Coffin is not that difficult, it is just close to the Altus Plateau. I would recommend you get on the Altus Plateateu and move along its right-side edge until you reach a point that leads you toward the lower level.  Now, from that point get on the lower ground and head straight, just keep moving along the right-side wall and enter through a narrow path. You will encounter a wolf on this route. This exact route takes you to the Abandoned Coffin location.  Ancient Dragon Lansseax Boss in Abandoned Coffin As you reach the Abandoned Coffin area through the Altus Plateau, look for the site of grace. Rest at this point and prepare yourself for the boss fight with Ancient Dragon Lansseax. Defeating this dragon will reward you with 60,000 Runes and a special type of Dragon Cult spell called Lansseax’s Glaive.  Now, the most important part is how to defeat this ancient dragon. There are actually two different spots from where you can start the fight. The first one is the Abandoned Coffin Site of Grace and the second one is the Rampartside Path Site of Grace.    Since you are on the Abandoned Coffin Site of Grace, the dragon will appear near the hill from where you came down, the exact spot is close to the wolf on the narrow path.  Once the dragon appears at the Abandoned Coffin Site of Grace, fight with him and do enough damage that his health reaches 80%. The dragon will retreat and it will appear again when you visit the Rampartside Path Site of Grace. Here, you can finally finish him off and collect the items he drops.  This dragon boss uses lightning attacks, he will spawn a huge red lightning in his hand and wave it around covering a huge area in just a single strike. Apart from that, he will use a fire breath attack. Both of these attacks are quite powerful. And the entire fight is absolutely amazing based on its appearance and all.  When it comes to fighting style, It is recommended that you take advantage of the hilly area and choose higher ground. However, the dragon is weak against pierce attacks. So, it’s more like a close-range fight if you want to defeat him with his weakness. For this purpose, you can make use of various weapons like thrusting swords, great spears, and even bows.  Exploring the Rest of the Abandoned Coffin Area Abandoned Coffin has multiple spots that can be explored to collect various rewards. Defeating enemies around the area can help you gather a good amount of runes. Additionally, there are various stacks of items hidden throughout the abandoned hilly area. It’s worth checking out each part of the entire location at least once.  Clearing Out Omens The entire Abandoned Coffin area is filled up with Omens, they are a great source of runes. So, I would definitely recommend you kill each one of them. Traverse the entire area and look for omens wherever you can.  Some of the omens roam on the ground level while some roam on the coffins. Ranged attacks or spells can be used to push them down.  Collecting Important Items & Other Rewards Runes aren’t the only rewards you will get as a reward in Abandoned Coffins, there are many other rewards like Lightning Ram Ash of War, Golden Runes, Dragonbolt Blessing, and Scarced Tear.  All of these items are placed at different spots around the Abandoned Coffin area. Stormcaller Church is a small area located within the Abandoned Coffin, look out for it as there is a chest that contains Dragonbolt Blessing.  Some of the stuff is quite easy to find like Lightning Ram Ash of War, which is found standing in open ground. You can spot it with its glowing light. While some items are hidden, you can still find them with a bit of extra effort.  Golden Runes are quite useful items and you should not miss them at all. They can help you store runes or more specifically they work like rune generators. Using them will grant you a certain amount of runes instantly. The rest of the items are essential too, so pick up as many of these as you can.  Most of the Golden Runes will be in the coffins around the area. Check thoroughly each one of the coffins in the entire area. If you are lucky enough then you might get the best variations of Golden Runes. The ones that yield the highest amount of runes, although it’s pretty random which one you are gonna get.  Apart from the Golden Runes, some other items are also hidden in these coffins. Most of the time it will be a lot easier to identify which coffin has an item because they will be glowing.  FAQs Where is the Abandoned Coffin in Elden Ring? Abandoned Coffin area can be accessed by following the route near the Altus Plateau. It’s actually located at a lower level from the Altus Plateau. So, you have to move on the route that takes you down from the plateau. You need to get to two floors lower from the plateau. Once you are there, just follow the right-side wall when you turn towards the southern direction. You will eventually reach at a point where a narrow path can be seen. This … Read more

Runes work as the currency of the Elden Ring, you can get it through several ways but there is a high risk of losing them at any point. And unfortunately, we cannot store or bank them directly. But there is a workaround that can help us save our runes.  In this guide, I have covered the possible ways of saving our precious runes. We are not directly storing them, instead, we have a few ways of investing which will help us when we need those runes.  Ways to Save or Store Runes in Elden Ring Losing your hard-earned stacks of runes can be frustrating and that’s why most of us often look for ways to store them or either bank them somewhere. If we die at any point, all the collected runes go in ash.  The most challenging thing is we cannot store them anywhere. It’s just with us until we spend them somewhere like buying different stuff or upgrading things. And yes, you guessed it right we are going to invest them so that they can be saved.  So, here are some ways that I found super useful when it comes to saving the runes.  Store Runes with Sacrificial Twig Now, we all know that we lose our collected runes whenever we die. But, we have an item in the game to tackle this situation. But this costs you some of your runes. So, in order to stop losing your runes upon death, get yourself some Sacrifical Twigs. These are the items that protects your collected runes from losing when you die in a battle. Each of the Sacrificial Twigs costs 3,000 Runes, and they are one-time usable items. So, try to use them when you have collected a huge amount of Runes. You can purchase it from various merchants across the Lands Between. One such merchant is Twin Maiden Husks who can be found at Table of Lost Grace. Rune Items One of the best ways that I found is stacking up rune items, these are the consumables that give you a certain amount of runes when consumed. So, it’s a perfect way of storing runes without having worries of losing them.  Now, there are a variety of consumables for this specific purpose. One such item is the Golden Rune. It has variations, and each one of them gives you a different amount of runes. Such as the best variation can yield 10,000 runes. The lowest amount you can get from a variation is 200 runes.  Now, if you don’t know where to get these consumables then let me tell you, they are obtained primarily through looting. Hundreds of corpses are spread around the Lands Between that have Golden Runes. The best way is to search the spots near the sites of grace such as Rampartsite Path, Gate Town Bridge, and many others. Another option is finding them in glowing skulls, they spawn at random spots around the map.  Other ways include defeating enemies, looting from hot-air balloons, treasure nobles, and chanting winged dames. These are the possible of getting your hands on Golden Runes. In my opinion, you should definitely pick them up and store them in your inventory whenever possible.  Spend Your Runes Another way to save your runes is by spending them on different activities. Since runes work as the main currency in Elden Ring, we can use them to purchase lots of items and even upgrade or alter your character’s stats.  This is a great way to invest your runes early on before they get lost. I would recommend you to spend them on purchasing useful and important items and also upgrade the stats. This is definitely one of the essential parts of your journey. You have to buy new weapons and other items from time to time.  As you move toward new spots and discover new enemies, the threats get stronger and this requires some ultimate weapons and boosted stats. There is no better way of saving your runes than to spend them.  So, what you can do is head straight to the merchants and get yourself loaded with some high-end weapons. These merchants also offer various other items like ammunition, consumables, tools, and various others.  As for the upgrade, you can rest at any site of grace to get access to the leveling menu. Here, we have the option to level up our character and this will boost stats like Attack Power, Defense Power, and various others.  Runes Mod This is a bit different method because it requires you to install mods from external sources. There are several different mods for this purpose. Some can get you unlimited runes whereas others multiply your existing runes by up to a thousand times.  This one is pretty different from the traditional way of getting runes or saving them. And most of the players want to keep the experience fully natural without adding any mods. So, you might find it unuseful. But for those who are okay with mods then this might help you.  FAQs  Is There a Way to Store Your Runes in Elden Ring?  Well, there are actually multiple ways to save your runes but this is actually in a different form. The runes in their original form cannot be stored anywhere, rather you can spend them or invest them in leveling up. Ultimately, that’s the purpose of runes in Elden Ring.  Another great way of saving those runes is by picking up consumables like Golden Runes and other similar items that unleash runes when you use them. These can consumables items can definitely be stored and used whenever the runes are needed.  How Many Runes Can You Store in Elden Ring?  You cannot directly store runes but there is an alternate way of storing them. Rather than keeping the runes in their original form, look for the Golden Runes in the Lands Between. These come in different variations, and each of these variations can be stored up to 999. So, these … Read more
