Best Elden Ring Boss Cheese Methods

Midra's Manse can be found at the far edge of the Abyssal Woods. To get her, players will first need to take the hidden ladder behind one of the flaming boats in the area just before the bridge leading to the Storehouse, First Floor Site of Grace. Follow the route down to the painting room with the illusory wall next to it. Take the ladder down to a coffin that will drop to lower Scadu Altus. Head southwest through the water all the way to the Darklight Catacombs . Clear this dungeon to access the Abyssal Woods. Head to the southwestern edge of the Abyssal Woods to reach Midra's Ma


While the basic Dagger can be used as an excellent weapon for a challenge run through Elden Ring Nightreign Expansion Ring , the unique daggers found throughout the game can be exceptionally powerful. In general, like swords, katanas, and other blades, daggers often apply a Bleed status to enemies—an extremely strong status effect in Elden Ring . This means that despite their limitations, daggers tend to be a high-damage, high-mobility choice that rewards players' skills even more than other opti


The Elden Beast poses a mighty challenge that wraps up the entire storyline, and although it isn't the most difficult boss in the game, many players still find it quite difficult to beat, especially if they struggle to find the right tools for the job. Those playing a mage character can consider themselves lucky, though, as this class can deploy a spell that is arguably the easiest way to beat the Elden Be

For those of you who can resist instant gratification and want to reap more rewards later on, talking to Yura instead of killing him when you encounter him north of Murkwater is the better deal overall. Finishing his questline will not only reward the Nagakiba but will also lead to unlocking other weapons and items such as:
All four methods each have their own pros and cons, and it's up to the Tarnished to determine which serves their urgency and purpose the best. For the uninitiated, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura is an NPC in Elden Ring who plays a small part in one of the endings.


If a lowly Tarnished has ever wanted to be just like the Finger Maidens, who help with the guidance of the Two Fingers, it would also be good to know that their robe massively negates Holy damage. The Finger Maiden Robe can be found inside the Church of Inhibition, north of the Frenzied Flame Village , and can be found directly behind the Site of Gr

The second method for obtaining the Nagakiba involves completing Yura's questline to a certain degree or at least interacting with it in some capacity and then heading to the Mountaintops of the Giants.


Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : The best Daggers in Elden Ring are those that come with some kind of special effect or unlock a unique moveset, but many of the game's daggers are useful in the right hands with the right build. With the addition of several new DLC daggers, Elen Ring players have some more choices when it comes to the best Elden Ring Daggers. This Elden Ring Dagger tier list has been updated to include the Main-Gauche and Fire Knight's Shortsword, as well as to include some new details on Daggers available in the base g

The last method of obtaining the Nagakiba involves very little effort compared to the other methods, and it's asking for it (for free or from a trade) from other players online. It's obviously a pretty 'lame' way of getting this weapon, but not everyone wants to do entire NPC questlines for a singular weapon. Additionally, for those of you on NG+ runs or on new characters, this method is understandably less involved and easier to do. In any case, if someone agrees to the 'trade', players can create a private game and have someone else drop their spare or unwanted Nagakiba katana in-game.


To obtain these sets, players need to progress further in the game, reaching either Deeproot Depths or Leyndell, Royal Capital. The full Crucible Axe Set is dropped by the Crucible Knight Ordovis boss at the end of the Auriza Hero's Grave. For the Crucible Tree Set, players must defeat the Crucible Knight Siluria boss in Deeproot Depths and search the chest he gua


Blade of Calling : Its special ability shares an animation with the Black Knife's Blade of Death, but deals slightly less damage in most cases. Still, the Blade of Calling can be an excellent choice for a Faith build in Elden Ri

In a game as massive as Elden Ring, there are any number of ways to build one’s character and engage the many powerful boss enemies that inhabit The Lands Between. For most of the game, one really can’t go wrong with how they develop their character, but that may not be entirely true when it comes time to confront the final few bosses near the end. Unless one possesses truly top-tier skills, this is probably the time to re-spec into a more-focused build capable of using one’s loadout to the fullest. There are many of these to choose from of course, but one that focuses on bleed is probably the most effective for struggling players. So, let’s get into it.
