Achieving the "Elden Lord" ending is no small feat. Along the way, you'll face some of the game's toughest foes, including demigods, dragons, and the Elden Beast. Preparation is critical, and this means making the most of your Elden Ring Runes and collecting vital Elden Ring Items.

Spending Runes Effectively

Your Elden Ring Runes are the currency of survival. Use them to strengthen your character by leveling up and upgrading equipment:

    Vigor: Boost your HP to withstand heavy hits, especially in the later stages where bosses like Radagon of the Golden Order and the Elden Beast deal immense damage.

    Endurance: Enhance your stamina to ensure you can roll, block, and attack without running out of energy.

    Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence/Faith: Invest in these attributes based on your chosen build. For melee builds, Strength and Dexterity are essential, while spellcasters should focus on Intelligence or Faith.

Avoid hoarding runes unnecessarily—bank them into levels or consumable Golden Runes before heading into dangerous areas to cheap Elden Ring Items prevent losing them upon death.
