In Elden Ring, there are many new weapons. This enormous system is also full of powerful bosses and dangerous scenes.
In Elden Ring DLC, more than 100 new weapons are added. This greatly expands your weapon selection. Therefore, it is crucial to know how to choose the right weapon to annihilate the bosses. However, it should be emphasized that the game developers did not balance the power of the additional weapons with the power of the basic weapons.
There is no doubt that these new weapons have greater potential power. This article focuses on some of the powerful new weapons. Before that, make sure you have obtained Smithing-Stone Miner’s Bell Bearing, which can quickly upgrade your weapons and increase attack power. By the way, if you want to level up or enhance the attributes of your character, saving some Elden Ring Runes will be a nice choice.
After launching Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, you can get Backhand Blade. From your location, head northeast and pass Smoldering Ruins. Continue forward and find the mausoleum on the edge of the cliff. Backhand Blade is on a corpse near the mausoleum.
Backhand Blade may not impress you when you first use it, but it is definitely one of the best weapons. If you can combine Backhand Blade with the build properly, it will be extremely powerful.
Backhand Blade is a rare weapon that can appear in pairs in the game. When you operate it with both hands, the damage caused is also doubled. And it is fast enough to easily combo.
The most special thing is that Backhand Blade has a unique skill: Blind Spot. You can use it to quickly sprint to the left and attack on the right. Therefore, you can attack behind the enemy and perform combos. Many PVE foes are not used to this kind of attack, so Backhand Blade is very aggressive.
To maximize the attack performance of Backhand Blade, Str/Dex build is essential. When its performance reaches the strongest level, you can change the weapon to Keen Affinity.
After defeating Rellana, Twin Moon Knight at Castle Ensis, she will drop Remembrance Of Twin Moon Knight. You can trade this with Enia in Roundtable Hold to get Rellana’s Twin Blades.
Rellana’s Twin Blades also has a unique mechanic. When wielded one-handed, it transforms into a greatsword that deals magic damage. But when wielded two-handed, your left hand will dual-wield a flaming straight sword that can easily deal with continuous magic and fire damage.
Rellana’s Twin Blades has a unique skill: Moon-and-Fire Stance. This skill can be derived from various derivative skills. Pressing Weapon Skill button will put you into Moon-and-Fire Stance. After that, you can press Light Attack button to send out magic attacks or use Heavy Attack to send out fire-based attacks.
Milady is a Light Greatsword that can be easily obtained. Go north, across the bridge from Castle Front Site of Grace, and then west. Defeat the enemies you encounter and climb the steps to the south to find Milady in the tower above.
Milady does not have the special abilities of the previous two weapons; it is just a standard weapon. Milady is easy to use, has a fast attack speed and a large range, and has many other functions.
Combining Milady with Wing Stance Ash of War is even more powerful. Attacking with Wing Stance will quickly cause Frostbite, which can cause devastating damage to most bosses.
Go northeast across the river from Cerulean Coast Site of Grace and you will find a pond full of lightning sheep. In the pond is a corpse holding a Lightning Perfume Bottle.
Lightning Perfume Bottle can fight most common bosses, and can easily cause large-scale area damage with both light and heavy attacks. However, it is slow, so it is important to understand that this damage is at the expense of speed.
Lightning Perfume Bottle can be used with Rolling Sparks Ash of War, creating a large straight line of damage in a medium range. This skill can be used repeatedly, making it very powerful.
Go to Rauh Base region of Land of Shadow, and you will find Forge to the northeast, where Smithscript Hammer is located.
Smithscript Hammer is undoubtedly a powerful weapon, and after the attack is completed, it will be immediately returned to your hand, ready to be used again.
If you inject Flame Arts or Sacred Affinity with Smithscript Hammer, it will upgrade and become very powerful. Faith build can also be used well with Smithscript Hammer.
It is recommended to change the default skill of Smithscript Hammer to Endure. Other more dazzling skills, such as Savage Lion’s Claw Ash of War, increase the melee attack power of Smithscript Hammer and add many new skills.
Putrescence Cleaver is located in Fissure in the cave at the southernmost end of Cerulean Coast. After defeating Putrescent Knight by jumping off the cliff near Fissure Depths Site of Grace, you can trade Remembrance of Putrescence for Putrescence Cleaver in Roundtable Hold.
Putrescence Cleaver’s blade is made of human skulls and has metal elements fused into it. If used properly, it will be of great value.
Press the weapon skill button to use Putrescence Cleaver to perform attacks. This attack will only be continuous if you have PF.
Putrescence Cleaver has a frost build-up skill, making it extremely destructive. Str/Arc builds are very suitable for this weapon, and when combined, you can cast powerful spells to crush your enemies.
This is a brief introduction to the best weapons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Thank you for reading.
There is a very useful Katana in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree called Star-Lined Sword, and it is also the perfect weapon for you to build around Dexterity attribute. If you put a small amount of Intelligence into it, you will benefit a lot.
If you already have this sword, but can’t think of a build around it. But don’t worry, its high dex scaling, fast Katana moveset, and unique Ash of War will make it very easy to choose the best build for it.
This guide will detail all aspects of how to choose the best build around Star-Lined Sword, and what problems you will encounter when choosing it and how to solve them.
Star-Lined Sword is a Katana that can cause both magical damage and bleed accumulation. And because it has a powerful Ash of War - Onze’s Line of Stars, its most important attribute is Dexterity, followed by Strength and Intelligence.
Its Ash of War, Onze’s Line of Stars, deserves a special mention. When you activate it, this Star-Lined Sword will perform two wide-area attacks in front of you to protect you. Don’t get too excited, it can be activated twice! Each attack will deal more damage, until the last attack, which will teleport you into the air and swing overhead at the enemy.
In PVP, Onze’s Line of Stars is not the best combination of Tarnished in the game. But its wide arc and massive hitbox will make many enemy players feel helpless when they are caught in it. Plus, you can control the timing of the second set of swings yourself, so you can shorten the time between the two swings to make them more panicked and you can complete PVP more easily.
Even such a powerful sword still has its own shortcomings. In Katanas, its attack range is relatively short, and its low strength scaling makes it less competitive than other two-hand weapons.
In addition, although Onze’s Line of Stars has so many advantages, it should be noted that you need to wait a long time to complete the combo. If you are fighting against humanoid enemies, it is enough; but if you are facing some very powerful bosses, they will not give you the opportunity to wait at all.
Usually, you can only use the first two activation opportunities of Onze’s Line of Stars, and rarely use the last two activations unless you can get a very long damage gap by dodging. All these advantages and disadvantages show that Star-Lined Sword is more suitable for one-handed use. In this way, you can add another weapon to the battle to make up for all the weaknesses of Star-Lined Sword. So which one should you choose?
When you use a one-handed weapon, you can never go wrong with a shield to protect you. So when you use Star-Lined Sword, you can choose a shield like Brass Shield or Wolf Crest Shield, which can resist 100% physical damage and even increase your defense value.
If you have already increased the intelligence stat of Star-Lined Sword to the maximum value, then you can put the staff on the main hand first, and then put Scholar’s Shield to enhance the effectiveness of the shield, and then switch back to Star-Lined Sword.
In fact, all staffs can work perfectly with Star-Lined Sword. Because when you use Star-Lined Sword, the main build is based on Dexterity. So you just need to use the staff to add a little icing on the cake in terms of long-range attacks and practicality.
You can choose Carian Regal Scepter and Carian Glintstone Staff because they both perform very well in intelligence scaling. If you want to use blade sorceries like Carian Piercer, you can try Carian Glintstone Staff.
If your Intelligence attribute is only 40-50, you might want to try Carian Sorcery Sword. It’s a sword, and you most likely won’t use it, but it’s definitely better than some staffs in terms of intelligence scaling, so give it a try!
However, it should be noted that these staves will increase the FP cost of your spells, so you must make sure that you have invested enough in the Mind attribute before using them, so that you can cast spells with confidence and use Ash of War of Star-Lined Sword to deal a lot of damage.
If you still feel that it is better to use two weapons in each hand, then you can choose another Katana and use it with Star-Lined Sword. This will allow you to use some more powerful moves, shorten the attack range and deal with multiple attacks. Because of some fixed attribute data, you can choose Moonveil and Sword of Night Katanas.
Moonveil’s Intelligence and Dexterity attributes work very well together, and you can also rely on the very surprising Ash of War when using it. Compared with Sword of Night Katanas, Moonveil can cause more bleeding and magic damage.
This means that if you want to increase your magic gain, then Moonveil is your best choice. With two powerful Ash of War, Onze’s Line of Stars and Transient Moonlight, you can kill most enemies at any distance and easily get some Elden Ring Runes.
If you are facing enemies with their own shields, you can choose Sword of Night Katanas. Or in PVP, you can use Sword of Night Katanas alone, so that you can burst some unexpected damage.
Vitality is always important in Shadow of the Erdtree, because everything hits pretty hard and you are using short-range weapons. If you plan to PVP, you will want Vigor closer to 60 than 55 to avoid crazy attacks from other players.
Since you’ll be using your Ash of War quite often, you’ll want to get your Psychic attribute up to around 25 so you have enough FP to invest in buffs, a few spells, or your Ash of War. If you plan on using your Ash of War more sparingly, you can make a small Intelligence investment to get more value out of your Intelligence attribute and spell casting.
While Onze’s Line of Stars doesn’t require much FP, it certainly requires a lot of Stamina when used. Having 30 Stamina points will help you keep swinging this Katana without getting too tired.
Agility and Intelligence are the fundamental ways you increase your damage with this sword, with Agility giving you more of a damage buff than Intelligence does. At higher levels (over 150), it’s not a bad idea to reach the soft cap of 80 for Agility and Intelligence to get the most out of Star-Lined Sword’s expansion. But if you plan on staying around level 150, you’ll want to rely on Agility more to increase your attack power drastically.
That’s all for how to get the most out of Star-Lined Sword in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. If you have questions or ideas about builds, why not come to the community on Discord? You may also receive a pack of Elden Ring Runes from IGGM Discord. Check it out!
Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC brings a ton of new content, but the most challenging of all are the new bosses that come with it. The bosses in the new expansion are mainly divided into two categories: must-do bosses and optional bosses. This doesn’t mean that the optional bosses are not worth your time. On the contrary, the sense of achievement and rewards brought by defeating optional bosses will also surprise you!
Among them, Scadutree Avatar is one of the optional bosses we will encounter in Realm of Shadow. It is not so easy to fight and defeat it, especially if you are a melee lover. You may be hurt frequently in the battle. Because it will use Thorns to cause a lot of Bleed damage to you.
But don’t worry, in this guide, we will detail the distribution guide to defeat Scadutree Avatar, helping you to pass the level smoothly and win its Remembrance and Miquella’s Great Rune as a reward! Of course, if you’re looking for a faster and more efficient gaming experience, you can increase the comfort and satisfaction of the game by obtaining Elden Ring Runes!
Scadutree Avatar is located in Church District of Shadow Keep. To find it, you must first depart from Moorth Ruins and then prepare to go to Bonny Village.
After successfully reaching Church District from this location, you need to pull the lever here to completely drain the water here so that you can rest and recover at Sunken Chapel Site of Grace. Then, we can prepare to go to Tree Worship Passage Site of Grace in the boss arena.
Scadutree Avatar has many offensive properties, which will cause ground eruptions of thorns, causing Bleed build-up damage. So you need to prepare a set of armor to increase the character’s Robustness, and General Radahn Armor is a good choice.
Similar to Erdtree Avatars, Scadutree Avatars are vulnerable to Fire attacks, and if you choose Faith build, Fire or Frenzied Flame Incantations will be a strong effective attack, and Hefty Fire Pots can be crafted into items that can also cause a lot of damage.
Since you don’t need to get close to Scadutree Avatar, you can avoid the attacks of thorns, so Sorcerers are not very challenging. They are best when repeatedly casting Comet attacks while keeping a safe distance.
Melee users can use shields to block or protect against most attacks, and can also absorb most of the damage caused by thorns. In addition, any tool with Fire or Ash of War properties can be used to fight bosses, such as Ash of War: Flame Skewer or Ash of War: Flame of the Redmanes.
Scadutree Avatars are not vulnerable to Bleed attacks, and considering the diversity of their development stages, using Poison or Scarlet Rot to cause bleeding damage is ineffective. Therefore, we can use Frostbite, which can be triggered quickly, to hit the boss.
In Boss Arena, the trigger rule for the boss battle is to approach the dried Sunflower in the middle of the swamp. Once you approach, you will be attacked by the boss immediately.
It is worth noting that Scadutree Avatar boss has three development stages, each with a full life bar. Although the boss of each stage will use some new attacks, the overall attack strategy is the same.
When entering Boss Arena, Scadutree Avatar will shoot two streams of thorns at you, causing Bleed build-up damage, which can be rolled to the side to avoid damage.
As you get closer to the boss, it may attack by swinging branches, which can be evaded with a shield or rolling in any direction in time to avoid damage.
When you are at a medium distance, the boss will swing branches covered with thorns to launch a thorns attack. You can dodge by rolling in a direction perpendicular to the thorns waves.
During the melee attack, if you hit a Sunflower, Scadutree Avatar will roll its head back a bit, preparing to slam Sunflowers into the ground, knocking you off your feet. This attack can be predicted by the animation, and you can roll or jump behind it to avoid it.
During this process, Scadutree Avatar will also slam two branches into the ground, and many thorns will erupt from the ground. This attack has a large damage range, and you must roll back several times to get out of it.
During the attack, Scadutree Avatar will stagger while losing HP, and this is the time to get close to its head to kill it.
After defeating Scadutree Avatar for the first time, it will be reborn again in the middle of the swamp. As it revives, it will start to rush at you repeatedly and attack. Using a shield or rolling forward in time can help you block the attack.
Pay attention to the moment when Sunflower rolls back and starts to glow, because the boss may be about to cast Incantation, Land of Shadow. This Incantation will create several golden projectiles that will follow and attack you, which you can dodge by rolling.
When Scadutree Avatar’s HP runs out again, it will start to stagger, and you must approach it again to deliver a critical hit. This is the end of the second phase.
During this phase, most of Scadutree Avatar’s attacks remain the same. However, soon after it regenerates for the second time, its stem will begin to glow, and within a certain radius, it will launch a very destructive attack. Therefore, the best way to deal with this attack is to run as far away as possible whenever you see Scadutree Avatar’s stem glowing, while trying to dodge the lasers.
Scadutree Avatar may use this attack several times during the battle. Sometimes, after a burst, the attack will continue and cause tremendous damage, so you must wait for the attack to end. Once Scadutree Avatar ends this spell, it will suffer a huge energy loss, and you can approach and attack it.
After defeating Scadutree Avatar, the player is rewarded with Remembrance of the Shadow Sunflower, Miquella’s Great Rune, and 260,000 runes.
Remembrance of the Shadow Sunflower has many uses, and we can use it to exchange gear like Shadow Sunflower Blossom Colossal or Land of Shadow with Enia NPC at Roundtable Hold.
Strength, Dexterity, and Faith scale the effects of Shadow Sunflower Blossom. The weapon deals Physical and Holy Damage, and comes with Shadow Sunflower Headbutt Ash of War. On the other hand, applying Land of Shadow Incantation requires 58 Faith and takes up a Spell Slot.
Also, for the main story quest of DLC, if it has not been completed yet, Miquella’s Great Rune can help you complete it. For the last boss’ grab attack damage, setting two grabs will end the battle, and Great Rune can help offset this damage.
The above is a detailed guide on how to defeat the optional boss in Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC, Scadutree Avatar. Thank you for reading.
In the patch notes for Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur, it can be seen that the developers are changing the fun of this game by reworking the combat mechanics and adding a town simulator. But some players feel confused about the build and don’t know which build to choose to deal with these fresh changes.
But don’t worry too much, you can use several best boss builds in this guide, which will greatly help you deal with new enemies or face new mechanisms in Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur league. If you are still unclear about which build to choose, or are worried that the previous build ideas may not work with Affliction and Sentinel mechanics, then keep reading!
In the game, Hexblast Mine Trickster is a very easy to build to set up, and it also allows you to move quickly in combat, which means you will have super high mobility to avoid various damage from enemies. Additionally, this build is very good with very little gear, which makes it a good build even in the late game with very little gear!
The core of Hexblast Mine Trickster is Hexblast ability, which is especially effective against cursed enemies, and also deals AOE damage. You can use Stormblast Mines to help this build level up, but Pyroclast Mines are better. It’s up to you.
You can also use Zealotry and Wither to increase your strength and weaken your enemies, so you win from the start. It should be noted that Hexblast removes curses from enemies it hits, so you must equip a Hex on hit ring so that you can curse them again.
This build has always been praised in previous versions, and it is still the same in Path Of Exile 3.25, and even higher than before, because all melee attacks have been buffed in Settlers of Kalguur. Although Boneshatter Juggernaut is already strong enough, it will give you a big surprise in this league.
This build mainly relies on you to stack Trauma and increase your damage to enemies. But there is a problem with Trauma. When you deal with high damage, you will also take a certain amount of damage. But don’t worry too much, you can help you recover a lot of health by stacking armor and utilizing Juggernaut ascendancy.
After dealing with this biggest problem, you can focus on using Boneshatter Juggernaut’s main combat ability-Boneshatter. This ability not only brings you super high damage to enemies but also combines your enhancements of unique attributes to help you clear any enemies on the road of exploration. You can also more easily pick up POE Currency dropped by enemies on the road.
As one of the best ascendancy classes in Path of Exile, you can try this build if you like Juggernaut.
If you’ve been playing Path Of Exile since 3.19, you’ll know about Shield Crush Juggernaut. It’s a little easier to get started with than some of the more complex builds. Like Boneshatter Juggernaut, it’s also a bit more powerful because of the melee buffs in Path Of Exile 3.25.
This build focuses on using your Shield Soldiers to protect you from enemy damage, so you need to stack as much armor as possible from a variety of sources.
This build is a little different from other offensive builds, as your main damage ability, Shield Crush, can be used to clear monsters instead of killing them, but you don’t have to worry about taking damage.
Also, for those who play Path of Exile 2, this build has always been relevant, so you can look forward to seeing if it appears in Path of Exile 2.

Frostblades Trickster focuses on its namesake ability Frostblades, which gives you AOE damage that can cover multiple targets. Since everything about melee has been reworked, this is a very powerful build that is expected to be the most powerful of Settlers of Kalguur.
The interesting thing about this build is that when you use AOE damage, it works perfectly with single damage and is combined into one damage skill. When you hit an enemy with Frostrike’s initial attack, ice projectiles will shoot out from the first enemy affected and hit other enemies.
This means that all your gear, damage buffs, and any source of stat increase can be used to improve this single damage skill. You can also use Frostblades Trickster with Heatshiver leather hood to make frozen enemies deal fire damage as powerful as your cold damage.
Another popular build since 3.19 is Lightning Conduit Elementalist, which is also a very powerful two-button setup. It may be a bit confusing at first, but once you get used to it, it is simple and powerful.
This build is perfect for when you are using Storm Brand ability against bosses, or when you are dealing with groups of enemies. This ability works a lot like a curse, because it sends a devastating periodic beam of damage to the enemy, and also applies Shock to the target enemy and surrounding enemies.
By using Lightning Conduit, you will get a lot of extra damage from the target that was just shocked, so you can easily clear bosses and small monsters. Once you get the hang of this, you will be invincible!
These are a few of the boss builds you can try in Path Of Exile 3.25 Settlers Of Kalguur. I hope you can have fun playing in this new league!
In this Diablo 4 Spiritborn Jaguar guide, we’ll take a thorough analysis into the character’s gameplay, skills, possible build strategies, and more.
Spiritborn is the newest member of Diablo 4 class roster, a tough warrior from Nahantu Jungle who wields the mystical powers of the guardian of the spirit realm.
Spiritborn marks a true expansion of class depth and build variety in Diablo 4. While we’ll have to wait until Vessel of Hatred to unlock Spiritborn, there’s a lot of information to explore about the class so we can jump right in and dive into the excitement of this new class.
Today, we’ll be taking a thorough analysis into Jaguar Spirit, gameplay, skill selection, and how these elements fit together.
For those who already know how to play Druid in Diablo 4, think of Spirit Boons as an advanced enhancement. For those who are new to Druid, these spirits will bring powerful passive skill bonuses to your character.
Spirits also allow you to perform specific skills, some of which increase attack speed to increase damage output, others increase damage output over time, use vicious poisons to weaken enemies, or if you prefer, there are still some that allow you to use the pseudo-ranged variant of Spiritborn.

For players who love endless fighting and killing, Guardian Spirit is definitely your best choice.Become a fierce predator and ruthlessly tear through enemies with high DPS, accelerated attacks, and swift movements.
Picking up Jaguar Spirit equips you with Guardians’ passive, which triggers a chain of critical hits after every fourth attack with a Jaguar skill.
Many Jaguar skills build Ferocity, a stackable buff that increases attack speed by 5%, with a baseline attack speed of 20%. Building up and maintaining this buff is key to boosting your DPS. You can use this increased attack speed in creative ways by applying it to other Guardian Spirit skills. To reach the potential of these skills faster and make the most of Jaguar Spirit’s abilities, it might also be wise to consider investing in some Diablo 4 Gold.
The appeal of Spiritborn is the variety of Spirit Guardians possible.
One fascinating combination is Jaguar with Centipede, a strategy that doubles damage output by introducing poisons, and stays alive by stealing life and increasing health after killing enemies, which is a perfect fit for aggressive all-out offensive play.
Picking Centipede as a secondary Spirit will give you a healing ability that restores 1% of maximum HP for each nearby poisoned enemy, while also allowing you to achieve a wide range of poison effects at a low cost. A better option is Touch of Death.
Touch of Death can apply continuous poison damage. Not only is this skill very effective as an opening, but when the poison effect ends or the target enemy dies, the effect explodes among nearby enemies, spreading the poison. This makes this skill particularly suitable for use when facing numerous enemies, especially when combined with Rake skill, which has incredible AoE clear potential.
Another interesting combination for Spiritborn Jaguar in Diablo 4 is Jaguar and Eagle. This combination takes advantage of Jaguar’s enhanced attack speed, combined with Eagle’s high crit rate and its mobility of Eagle, to create a DPS combination.
With this combination, enemies can be quickly defeated by simply keeping up the attack.
If the attack-focused glass cannon style doesn't suit you, another option for Spiritborn Jaguar in Diablo 4 is to pair Jaguar with Gorilla. This combination enhances defensive mechanisms such as barriers and crowd control skills, providing a more warrior-style combat style for players who like to charge in and output as much damage as possible.
Ultimately, with a well-thought-out strategy and some creative thinking, Spiritborn Jaguar will undoubtedly become an exciting and terrifying force on the battlefield of Diablo 4.
If you know Elden Ring well, you will find that Elden Ring builds are all different. We can see various different builds, such as anime-esque magic users, or massive hammer-wielding cavemen. Although they look very different, there is still a very core thing, that is talismans.
There are more than 100 kinds of talismans in Elden Ring. These talismans can bring us unique buffs, such as attack damage, elemental resistance, etc. Although talismans can bring certain buffs, some talismans are the most desired by players, such as Millicent’s Prosthesis.
This talisman is more effective than other talismans and is more coveted by players. If you want to defeat your opponent by attacking continuously in battle, then Millicent’s Prosthesis can help you increase your damage on top of your continuous attacks. But how can we get this Millicent’s Prosthesis?
We need to complete the quest brought by an NPC to get this very good talisman. If you want to get the talisman, and even more Elden Ring Runes, read this article carefully!
Millicent is currently waiting for us at Prayer Room Site of Grace. If we want to get Millicent’s Prosthesis talisman, we must kill her before completing her questline. However, we can’t kill her as soon as we see her. At least, she can’t die before she arrives at Windmill Heights Site of Grace in Altus Plateau. If she dies, we won’t be able to get talisman.
We need to complete some steps and defeat some bosses to get this talisman. First, we have to follow quest prompts to transport Railroading Millicent to Altus Plateau. This is not an easy task, and it takes us an hour. Then we go to Caelid map, find Commander O’Neil in Aeonia Swam and kill him, then we can get broken Unalloyed Gold Needle. We need to bring this needle to Gowry in his shack back.
After giving this needle to Gowry, there is a way to reduce loading time. We remember to save the progress and exit the game, so that we can reduce the time we reload. Then we need to give the mended needle to Millicent, who is now in Church of Plague on Caelid map.
We need to use this needle to stop rot from spreading to Millicent’s body. After completing it, we will have a short rest and talk with Millicent at the nearby Site of Grace, and then set off to Haligtree. At this time, you may find that she is missing an arm, so the next step we need to complete is to go to Shaded Castle on Altus Plateau to find a prosthetic limb.
If you know Altus very well, you will know that Shaded Castle is a building located north of green swamp, and this building is poisonous. So be careful when we enter Shaded Castle. The key location of Millicent’s quest is actually in Altus Plateau.
We don’t need to fight the boss. We need to go to the northwest corner of castle’s outer wall. There is a room there. We enter the room and open a box containing Valkyrie’s Prosthesis. Then we have to return to Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace in Altus Plateau, and then we give prosthesis to Millicent. At this time, she will help you deal with the field boss in Windmill Heights.
If you have completed previous quest, what we have to do now is to go to Windmill Heights in Altus Plateau and defeat Godskin Apostle. If we have already defeated Godskin Apostle, we don’t need to go to this place, saving some trouble.
Then we need to go back to Site of Grace to rest. We can see Millicent nearby. This time Millicent has all four limbs intact. This is our earliest chance to get Millicent’s Prosthesis.
If you only want to get Millicent’s Prosthesis, you can defeat and kill her and she will drop talisman. However, doing so will lock out her other questlines and prevent you from getting Miquella’s Needle. But if you only want to get Millicent’s Prosthesis, this is your best chance. Don’t miss it.
Elden Ring’s inventory has a description of Millicent’s Prosthesis Talisman. Millicent’s Prosthesis is considered one of the best talismans in Elden Ring. This is because this talisman is perfect for Dexterity builds, twin blades, or weapons that can do fast attack sequences. Not only does it increase your Dex stat by five, it also raises power of your attacks when you attack continuously. These attributes are still very good for us.
The key point is that successive hit buffs can be stacked, such as Rotten Winged Sword Insignia talisman and Thorny Cracked Tear Physick. Shard of Alexander talisman is also recommended because many successive attack combos come from Ashes of War.
We can’t get both Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Millicent’s Prosthesis at the same time. If you want both, you need to go through more quests. In addition, if you kill Millicent too early, you won’t be able to get Rotten Winged Sword Insignia.
The above content is about how to get Millicent’s Prosthesis talisman and what Millicent’s Prosthesis talisman is. Reading the article carefully will definitely help you.
There are many areas in Shadow Of The Erdtree that are difficult to find, which in a way represents the depth of this game. Optional bosses, such as Scadutree Avatar and Commander Gaius also provide challenging encounters and valuable rewards.
Players can explore unique areas, such as Abyssal Woods and Hinterlands. A good open-world game is that even if there is no way to defeat it, it will make people want to explore. This sentence is really suitable for Elden Ring, and it really does this.
It has many hidden areas, which is a great game for people who like to explore the map. If you don’t look carefully on the map, you may miss these places and miss some Elden Ring Items. The following places are simple to be overlooked. It’s good to know them.
Gothic Worshipers of Scadutree Avatar. This Church is located in Shadow Of The Erdtree. Although this Church has given up remembrance, Scadutree Avatar is still an optional boss. The completion of this requires a lot of hoops. This is a symbol of the Land of Shadow and a symbol of worship for local people.
In addition, we can find this boss at the end of this Church District. If we want to reach our goal, first, we have to go through Moorth Ruins, through a cave and then reach Bonny Village. Then from there we have to follow the path north, through most of the map, and then we can reach Church District. Then solve the water crisis in the area, and you can see Scadutree Avatar boss.
Messmer’s Hold Has a Backyard, which is another place with optional remembrance bosses. If Church District is unlocked, it will be relatively easy to reach Shadow Keep Back site of grace. If we just want to go to this place, and worry about not being able to reach Shadow Keep Back Gate without solving water crisis in Church District, then it’s not necessary.
We just need to treat Church District as a springboard, and then use the ladder to return to the warehouse in Shadow Keep. Then we just need to follow the route to back door of Shadow Keep, where we will fight Commander Gaius, a remembrance boss, but his charge is difficult to avoid. If you want to try, be sure to be well prepared.
After you have good fortune to kill Commander Gaius and claim your reward, do not leave the arena. This area may have been explored by many people, even several times, but it is not uncommon for some people to miss exploring fields behind Shadow Keep.
As we continue along the road, we can see Scadutree Chalice. In this place, players will find five Scadutree fragments. Therefore, it is necessary to defeat Commander Gaius. After defeating him, we can not only get remembrance and some runes but also Scadutree Fragments. This item is invaluable to us and can easily win in future battles.
Abyssal Woods is considered by many players to be the scariest place in entire game, but it is very difficult to find for some people. This is a completely optional region, and if you don’t read the guide, you will most likely miss it. After defeating Golden Hippopotamus, players need to explore the keep on their own and find the secret ladder.
After we find the ladder, we cross a waterfall and discover the secret of a painting. Then we need to take the classic FromSoftware teleporting coffin to Castle Watering Hole. We have to go forward along the road, and then we not only have to dark-light catacombs but also defeat a boss, so that we finally reach Abyssal Woods.
In Abyssal Woods, we have to face a situation. There is a large invisible area without Torrent, and there are some untouchable enemies that we must avoid. Now complete these, we can reach Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame.
Maybe you didn’t get the thrill of this area after reaching the secret area behind Shadow Keep, then Shadow of the Erdtree will definitely satisfy your needs. We can see a room on the right side of Shadow Keep Back Gate site of grace. When we enter this room, we can see a statue and a message in the room. If you make a Mother gesture in front of the statue, it will open and reveal a hidden passage to Hinterlands.
There are two paths in that place that lead to different areas. One path leads to Shaman village, which is shrouded in a timeless aura and is a very peaceful area. The other path leads to creepy ruins, where we can see a huge finger protruding from ground. This place involves part of Count Ymir’s quest, and we can find the detailed answer in Manus Metyr.
If you were stunned by the blue flower fields in Cerulean Coast, you will definitely be stunned by the red flowers in Charo’s Hidden Grave. There are no remembrance bosses, but that doesn’t mean there are no prizes. In fact, there is a lot of anti-loot to be obtained, and players will be stunned by visual effects.
We can reach this hidden area by the giant dragon corpse in Grand Altar of Dragon Communion. Most players don’t want to step on this sacred corpse, so they will miss this hidden place.
If you like to observe what is happening around you while exploring the world, or like to study the map to get to a specific area, you will definitely notice that there is a small island south of Shadow of the Erdtree. It seems to have no connection with the mainland, but if there is no connection, how can it appear on the map?
We can clearly see a building on the island, that is Southern Nameless Mausoleum, which is easy to miss. We have to go through an underwater tunnel to reach this island. The entrance of tunnel is next to the tree closest to the island. Once you arrive, you can fight Dancer Ranah, and it is worth mentioning that armor set dropped can increase damage.
These seven places are the places that are easy to be overlooked in the game. I hope this guide can help you. If you want to know more information, players can join IGGM discord, where you can get more information, and there is also a giveaway channel, so please join us!
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame, is an optional boss in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and some of his attacks will cause a serious Madness build-up to the player. While Midra is not as powerful as some of the supreme bosses, fighting him still requires you to be quick on your feet.
Midra resides in Midra’s Manse, which can be reached through Abyssal Woods. You must first clear Darklight Catacombs, unlocking Abyss portion of the map.
It is important to note that when passing through Abyssal Woods, be careful of the untouchable enemies, and you will later come across a door leading to Midra’s Manse, behind which are many headless corpses with their heads covered in a layer of golden material.
Midra has many attacks that cause Madness build-ups, so be sure to equip Elden Ring Items that improve your focus, such as Clarifying Horn Charm and Mottled Necklace +2. Flamedrake +3 Talisman is also a good choice, as most of Midra’s melee and Flame of Frenzy attacks will cause Fire damage.
Therefore, it is recommended that you equip armor with good fire resistance. If you use a shield, be careful that his melee attacks will cause minor fragment damage, also Fire damage.
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame, is fairly weak to Bleed and Frostbite, and relatively strong to poison and scarlet rot. Using dual Katana is a fairly simple strategy against this boss, one for Bleed and the other for Frostbite.
In addition, if you are looking for more game resources to prepare for the fight against Midra, there is a Giveaway function in IGGM discord, which will occasionally release product gift information. Remember to stay active in the discord group so you don’t miss any messages.
When you enter Midra’s Arena, you will find him in Human Form. You cannot use Spirit Summons during this phase. He can quickly jump on you and cause a madness build-up at this time, and you must be wary of his grab attacks.
After defeating his weakened Human Form, you will face Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame. At the beginning of the battle, he will launch Flame of Frenzy attacks on you, and you can choose to dodge from the side or choose to take the damage and Madness build-up while summoning Spirit Ashes.
After dodging or taking his initial attack, Midra will occasionally open his arms and launch Flame of Frenzy attacks when you are far enough away from him. All attacks with Midra’s arms open can follow a straight line, so they can all be dodged by rolling to the side.
To mix things up, Midra will tilt his head forward and shoot out Flame of Frenzy in a horizontal attack that you can choose to properly dodge by rolling backwards or forwards.
The boss will also launch a 3-hit melee attack that can be dodged by quickly rolling backwards. You can also easily block the attack with a shield, but you may take minor damage.
Be sure to have your sword ready when you see Midra levitate. You can easily dodge this by rolling backwards. Or he will lunge at you with a powerful swing, which can also be dodged by rolling backwards at the right time.
Midra has another variation of the 3-hit melee combo, where he uses a stabbing attack to end the combo, and then his sword unleashes spikes after a brief delay. This attack will cause you to roll backwards. To properly dodge the last blow of this combo, you must roll backwards once more after dodging the stabbing attack.
Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame, will enter Phase Two when he reaches 60% health. During the transition, he will fly up and slam his flaming head into the ground, launching an explosive attack with vast range. The best way to dodge this move is to move away from him and jump at the point of impact.
Afterwards, he will most likely fly towards you and attack you with his great sword, which can be dodged by rolling backwards. He will mainly use the attacks from the first phase, with a few new ones thrown in.
Midra may also jump into the air and slam his sword into the ground, causing spikes to burst out of the ground. You can dodge the initial attack by rolling in any direction, but only rolling backwards will avoid the spikes.
When his health reaches 40%, Midra’s sword will catch on fire, and his swing will send a wave of flames at you. During this time, most of his melee attacks will send a wave of flames, so you’ll have to be careful to dodge them. Rolling to the side will be your best bet.
This phase can be easily ended by dodging his attacks, and once his sword is back to normal, you can easily take him out.
With the right strategy and preparation, Midra is no longer a daunting opponent but a path to a deeper gameplay experience.
In each phase of World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery, new runes were introduced for each class. Of course, in Phase 4, there are also new runes for Mage, such as Mage Cloak Runes and Mage Ring Runes.
They can all provide you with various skills or bonuses, just to achieve a competitive balance when you reach the highest level. Although some old runes have been removed, replaced, or even completely changed, new runes will be added in each phase, so don’t worry about the number of runes.
In the latest phase of WoW SoD, you can collect three new Mage Cloak Runes and some Mage Ring Runes. This guide will detail the location and effects of Mage Cloak Runes and Mage Ring Runes, so that you can find and use them faster.
You can fire a missile at the target enemy and cause huge Arcane damage. In addition, Arcane damage has a 20% chance to trigger Missile Barrage ability, making you more powerful.
In WoW SoD Phase 4, Arcane Barrage is actually only available by reading enough Books, which is a continuation of a Greater Friend of Library Season of Discovery.
You have to read at least 35 books in this phase, so be sure to keep an eye out for places where you might find books and read them. Stormwind Library is a good place to start, as is Scarlet Library wing, which has a lot of books. You don’t have to go looking for these books, as they are everywhere in Azeroth.
When you use this rune, you will launch a spinning orb of ice that you can move forward quickly for 16 seconds. During this movement, the orb can deal Frost damage to enemies every second and apply Chill effect to them.
The first time the orb deals damage to an enemy, it will also slow down its movement speed. If you have Fingers of Frost Rune slotted, you can also trigger this rune’s effect.
Phase 4 Frozen Orb Rune is located in Felwood. After defeating Deadwood Furbolg enemies in Felwood, you will receive Mysterious Darnassian Scroll item, which you can decrypt with the Comprehension Charm you obtained earlier.
Then, you need to go to (60,13) and find a Night Elf NPC Calyx Greenglow wandering around the area. It will give you a quest called Healing The Healer, which you can then follow to Felwood to defeat Irontree Stomper enemies, which will eventually give you Unusual Flask and a bunch of SOD Gold.
Finally, you need to go to Winterspring to talk to Calyx Greenglow again, and after leaving, you need to defeat Enraged Shade to get a Frozen Orb rune.
This rune ensures that your Critical Strikes will deal critical hits. Additionally, while you have Overheat equipped, you can cast a Critical Strikes while casting another spell. Best of all, Critical Strikes have a 15 second cooldown and are not affected by GCDs! These effects make your fights much easier!
Overheat rune is in Western Plaguelands. You need to use Fire Spells on four Novice Frost Mage enemies in Western Plaguelands so that they will be unfrozen.
After unfrozen, you also need to remove their Lesser Curse ability to give you one of the four Torn Spell Notes. The four Novice Frost Mage enemies are located in Dalson’s Tears, Felstone Field, Gahrron’s Withering, and Writhing Haunt.
When you have all four Torn Spell Notes, you can create Overheat rune. Remember, you don’t have to kill Novice Frost Mage enemies outright, but if you accidentally hit them too hard, you’ll need to wait for them to respawn and try again.
In Phase 4, all Mage Ring Runes are obtained in the same way - by finding a specific book somewhere in the map. Mage Ring Runes can be unlocked. It can improve your skills for a weapon or spell specialization for a specific class.
When you reach the highest level, when facing elite monsters above level 60, the enhanced effects of your weapons or spell skills can reduce the chance of missing attacks or spells. Without further ado, let’s take a look!
Applicable classes: Druid & Hunter & Mage
Rune of Arcane Specialization increases your chance of hitting the target when using Arcane spells. It can increase it by at least 6%.
You need to go to Hearthglen, the northernmost part of Western Plaguelands. Ring Rune book that can unlock the rune is near the coordinates (46, 16).
Applicable classes: Mage & Shaman & Warlock
Rune of Fire Specialization increases your chance to hit with Fire spells by 6%.
You need to go to Searing Gorge to find a Slag Pit and find Overseer Maltorius’s room. If you don’t have a sense of direction, you can find it directly above Archeologist area of Slag Pit. Once you enter the room, you will see a Red Book, which is Ring Rune book that unlocks this rune.
These are some of the runes you can use to enhance your Mage in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4. I hope you have fun exploring Phase 4, and we’ll see you in Azeroth!
Sword of Night can be found at the end of Ymir questline and is the perfect choice for any defensive build that just wants to sit behind a Great Shield and stab you to death. It is a unique Katana in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.
Sword of Night is a good Katana that can hit pretty hard with a fast attack speed, has real combos in its pocket, and can punish defensive builds with quite ease. If you are struggling with how to build this sword for the best results, read on.
A big part of what makes Sword of Night unique is that it has a solid set of moves and a special Ash of War called Witching Hour Slash. This attack can hit three times, charge up for more damage, and cannot be blocked by opponents. It also has true combo functionality, going from an uncharged Witching Hour to an uncharged heavy attack. So if you do a Witching Hour Slash and heavy attack combo, you can deal a ton of damage to your opponent, and if they’re using a low vitality build, it’ll kill them outright.
The strength of Witching Hour also presents a problem for this weapon. Witching Hour Slash animation is long and has no armor, so it’s easy for aggressive opponents to either hit each other or simply knock you out of this Ash of War. While the combo itself does a ton of damage, single hits or your basic heavy attacks don’t do much damage or balance damage.
But these weaknesses don’t stop Sword of Night from being a perfect choice for shielded enemies or players who are looking for a fun Katana and a fun Ash of War. Its strengths will also make it more useful in PvP than in PvE. For PvP, Witching Hour Slash’s multi-hit nature and Sword of Night’s heavy attack make it very useful when picking up the ball. Witching Hour Slash can’t be blocked, so it’s also a perfect weapon for countering opponents who rely too much on Great Shields or heavy evasion.
Since Sword of Night can be knocked out easily, it must rely on weapons to keep its balance. As long as you reach a balance of at least 76. You can wear almost any armor with this weapon, which is the ideal breakpoint to keep you protected from most light attacks. If you want to protect against almost all light weapon attacks and most medium weapon attacks, you will need to build a balance of 98 to 125. If you haven’t found your favorite armor yet, you may be interested in IGGM discord group. There will be product giveaways from time to time, including armor, weapons, and various Elden Ring Items, so remember to be active in the discord group!
Pairing it with another weapon can help alleviate the disadvantage of Sword of Night’s lower damage. Having a weapon with a long range but slow swing speed, such as colossal weapons, Great Spears, or Great Katana, can complement Sword of Night well. Because the long-range weapon makes up for sword’s weak range, but Sword of Night’s fast swing speed can cover short distances.
In addition, you can choose to pair Sword of Night with another samurai sword to increase the damage caused. You can wield two Katanas and still use Witching Hour Slash. While your range is still limited, the damage output at close range makes up for it.

Because it can only be expanded through Dexterity, and not its Ash of War or Infusion, you need to have a total Dex of 80 to get the most damage out of this weapon.
Also, having 40 or 45 Arcane points ensures that your Bleed activations deal more damage, allowing you to make the most of Bleed effect in PvE.
The best talismans with Sword of Night can help increase its low damage output or make it more survivable. Here are some amulet options to consider:
It increases Witching Hour Slash damage by 15%. Have a talisman that can enhance your Ash of War damage. Helping you take full advantage of your damage window when using Witching Hour Slash and punishing greedy shield users, this Talisman should be considered a consistent staple in Sword of Night.
Godfrey Icon adds 15% more damage to a fully charged Witching Hour Slash. This is better for PvE, where you are more likely to land a fully charged Witching Hour Slash on bosses and slower enemies. If used with enough poise and combined with Shard of Alexander, a fully charged Witching Hour Slash will give you an advantage when they try to hit you with your Ash of War.
Balance is an important attribute in Sword of Night for players who plan to use Ash of War often. Bull-goat’s Talisman can increase your Balance by 33%, making it a great fit for your build if you want to reach above 98 Balance without giving up Lightweight.
Sword of Night attacks quickly, and with three attacks in Witching Hour Slash, it’s pretty easy to keep both Talismans active to deal more damage. Equipping both Talismans at the same time allows you to maximize attack damage without relying on Ash of War, but some builds prefer spare Talisman slots over increased damage on multi-hit attacks.
If you plan on using Sword of Night with both hands, Two-Handed Sword Talisman increases its damage by 15%. Bringing its damage to a decent level, but not as good as having a better weapon on the other hand. If you prefer to use Sword of Night’s moveset completely, this Talisman is a must-have.
Sword of Night is a worthy choice. So pick up this blade and brave the world of Elden Ring!
