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

Astrologer in Elden Ring is one of the best classes to start with in my opinion. But, there are some essential points that you should take note of. The way you build this astrology class will define its power.  In this guide, I have shared my experience with this build and how I managed to make the most out of it. You can too follow the same and boost your journey in the best way.  Astrologer Build Elden Ring The early stages of Astrologer in Elden Ring are pretty basic since there is not much choice in weapons and other equipment. But, as you make progress, there is a lot you can do to make it much more powerful.  Starting Weapons, Gears, and Magic To be honest, we don’t have that many things at the beginning. And that’s the only downside this class has. But, this never makes Astrologler build the worst class. There are a ton of customizations and upgrades that you can do later on.  But, for now, let’s see what we have got to kick-start our journey. For the items that you can hold in hands like the weapons and shields, we have initially three of them.  Now, it’s up to you whether you want to go with the staff or sword. Because this is just the beginning, the real deal will begin when you start leveling up and upgrading your items and stats. That would be the time to get your hands on the best one. Just wait because I have also covered the best item when you have grown enough.  As for the spells, you would have two options. You can pick any of them, here are they.  Again, these are just for the start. There is no issue in picking up any of these. Get the one you think that will work for you better. In case you don’t know, let me tell you that both of these sorcery items are designed to primarily target low-end enemies. Moreover, the resource usage is also pretty low so you can use them without worrying about it.  Lastly, we have a set of gears that consists of various items. Each one of the gear items comes with different stats. So, these are quite essential things when you are planning to work on your character’s stats.  Another important thing is their weight, which plays a crucial role in your activity throughout the game. If your character goes up in weight due to the gear items then things can get challenging for you. So, you have to manage your weight wisely. But, as for the start, it’s okay to go unsorted. Here’s what’s waiting for you.  That’s the whole set of outfits that an Astrologer uses.  Building Up Ultimate Astrologer Class  When you have gained enough experience in the game and you are now good to go with overall mechanics. It’s time to work on your character’s class build. Astrologer build mainly revolves around magical spells.  So, it’s essential to focus on ranged spell attacks rather than melee attacks. However, a few melee attacks can come in handy during close fights. So, what we are going to do is focus on a build that works greatly for magical spells while being helpful in close fights as well.  Weapon & Staff The key weapon for an Astrologer is a staff. It is what helps you cast powerful spells on your enemy. So, we have a few different choices here. The thing to notice here is that these will get unlocked as you move up in the story, defeat different bosses, and do other activities.  Here are the ones that will work best with the Astrology class.  Personally, I like to use Meteorite Staff. It’s just a perfect thing that exist in the game, especially for the Astrologer build. Pairing up this staff with one of the best spells in the game which is Rock Sling. This is the ultimate combo that you can get.  Along with this magical staff, you can pick any weapon like the one that you can use for close-range attacks. It can be a sword or a pike, but not the shield as it can put a lot of weight on your character, which is definitely we don’t need at all.  Armor Load & Other Equipment  Armor is another important part of this build. However, you need to keep an eye on the weight that’s been adding up when you put on equipment. It’s really important.  So, for the armor, there is quite a good number of things that you can use. They all will work towards your stats. Go for the light armor set as it would not block your mobility by any means. Being an astrologer you need to move fast and dodge incoming attacks. And that can only be done if your weight is low.  The best one you can pick is the Astrologer’s Robe. That would be enough to provide you with decent protection, plus it won’t affect much on your weight. With this equipment load, you would easily move around in challenging fights.  As for the consumables and crafting items, you can keep some Magic Potions. Also, the items required to craft these potions will come in handy. Always look out for Crystal Buds when exploring areas, these will help you out in crafting potions.  Stats & Fighting Style  Now, it’s time to work on your stats to make the build even better. There are three main stats that should not be missed when building an Astrologer class. These are Intelligence, Dex, and Strength.  First off let’s discuss Dexterity and Strength. You don’t want to max out these stats. Instead, keep the Dex around 15 and Strength around 20. This would be the perfect combination of stat. Now, we are left with Intelligence, this also needs to be at the mid-level.  Lastly, don’t forget to keep an eye on the Vigor and Mind. These are essential for FP and HP, … Read more

The Temple of Eiglay is an important location in the Elden Ring. This can be found on the ground floor of Volcano Manor. This exact place is an essential part of your entire journey as it connects with a few other quests from this area. Also, there is a site of grace at the temple. Moreover, you can get some great rewards from here as well. In this guide, we have explained step by step the path that leads you directly to the Temple of Eiglay. Also, there is a shortcut that we have covered, you can use it later. But, there is a slight twist, a miniboss Godskin Noble is waiting for you at the entrance of the Temple of Eiglay.  Route to Temple of Eiglay Now, there are a few different ways that takes you to the Temple of Eiglay. But, we are obviously covering the one that is easier and quicker. Along the way there will be various threats, you can choose to get past them or defeat them as they come your way.  Volcano Manor  First off, you have to get to the Volcano Manor. For this purpose you can take help from Rya’s Questline, finishing this quest will lead you to the Volcano Manor, or you can also head directly to the Volcano Manor.  Once you are at the destination, find an NPC named Tanith, speak to her and there will be a bit of conversation. At the end, she will hand over you Drawing Room Keys. It’s up to you if you want to go with her to reach Volcano Manor then take the keys from her.  Upon finishing up the conversation with her, look for the secret area which is just next to Tanith’s room. Follow the path and you will end up in Prison Town Church.  Prison Town Church to Temple of Eiglay  When you are just outside the Prison Town Church, you will have multiple ways leading to the Temple of Eiglay. The first one is just to your right which goes all the way behind the buildings and ends up at the spot where the elevator is located.  But we are using the much easier way. When you are standing outside the Prison Town Church look just in front of you, there are some houses. We are using their rooftops to cut down the entire long route and head directly to the lower level.  Just jump over the houses and keep moving forward, you will encounter some enemies here. Finish them up and move ahead. Keep jumping across the roofs on the left side and you will eventually see a staircase in front of the houses.  That’s where you want to get. Jump off from the roof and take the stairs. Now, take the route to your left and head straight ahead. There will be an entrance into the building, take that and go straight, enter the next room, and take the stairs to the lower level.  Exit the stairs and get through the entrance on the left side. You will end up in a room, now exit this room from the main door which will be in front of you. What you will see outside of the building is lava everywhere.  Be cautious at this point, don’t jump through the ledge. Instead, slide down the ladder which is on your right side. Once you are on the lava floor look for the cage which is on the opposite side of the building you just came down from.  Jump over the lava onto the spot where the elevator is located. Now, keep on moving forward past the elevator. There will be stairs on your right, take the stairs and follow the path, and you will eventually end up on the upper floor.  Here, you will see an elevator. Get on to it and it will take you to the next floor. Now, you are very close to the Temple of Eiglay. Huge stairs can be seen from this point, an enemy would also be there. Finish him off and continue towards the temple from these stairs. Unlocking the Shortcut Now, that you are just at the entrance of the temple, wait a bit before you get in there. We need to unlock a shortcut at first so that it can be easier for next time.  So, instead of heading into the temple take the path just before the left of the entrance. Just a bit ahead there is a huge level on your left. Interact with it to acctivate the bridge that connects the temple to Prison Town Church. That’s it now let’s get back! Entering the Temple of Eiglay Enter the temple from the main entrance, and head straight. The miniboss Godskin Noble will spawn. Defeat the boss and you are good to go.  Upon defeating him you will be free to explore around the temple. Also, don’t forget to pick up the most important item from the table which is Serpent’s Amnion. You can also discover the lost grace from the exact same spot where the miniboss spawns. It will become visible when he is dead.  Defeating Godskin Noble This specific boss is not that hard to kill. You just need to use the ranged and magic attacks. They are your best friend in this fight. Different powerful weapons can be used here. Now, if you want to go for a specific weapon then we have that is called Serpent-Huner. It can deal a massive damage in this fight. If you have it on you then this fight is super easy for you. Otherwise, you can follow this next strategy. Some of his attacks are ranged while the rest are melee. So, it’s a smart things to maintain distance from him all the time. During the fight, he will also spawn a circle of black fire around him. This would be quite challenging for melee attack players. Just wait until the fire goes away and then again start attacking … Read more

Malenia’s boss fight has 2 phases and in each phase, she will make use of different attacks. These are just extremely powerful, you must be fully prepared and loaded with upgraded weapons and armor. The most irritating part of this entire battle is when she regains her lost health after a successful attack. This even happens when you block the attacks. Here are a bit more details on both phases. Phase 1 During phase 1, Malenia will mainly use the melee attacks with her sword. These attacks will not only deal damage but they will have the ability to make her regain HP.

Another possible way is to counter her attacks, this can be done at the exact right moment. What you need to do is perform the attacks exactly when her attacking animation triggers.
