![]() ![]() Oh, and grab two more essentials: Rest at the site of grace near the Gatefront Ruins to get your horse, Torrent, and then travel to the Church of Elleh at night to receive the ability to summon Spirit Ashes (equip them in your hotbar and use them when you have enough FP and you see the white tombstone icon on the left side of your screen). You can try to fight it - or you can run past it, open the nearby chest, nab the talisman that gradually restores your health when it’s equipped, and fast travel away back to Limgrave. ![]() Further, if you find the Tower of Return and open the chest there, you’ll be teleported to a distant location with a massive enemy. ![]() On the southern landmass beyond the Bridge of Sacrifice that we described above, you can easily find Sacred Tears, which will improve the recovery ability of your flasks, in the Church of Pilgrimage and the Fourth Church of Marika. Image: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco via PolygonĬheck the chests we mentioned above for some decent items, and if your starting class didn’t begin with a shield that has 100% physical damage negation, go pick up the Beast Crest Heater Shield that we described in our guide on beating Margit the Fell Omen. If you’re looking for good gear and other treasures near the start of the game, you have nearly limitless options. It practically showers players with loot, as long as you continuously explore new locales, defeat intimidating enemies, and solve challenging puzzles. GET SOME LOOTĮlden Ring is a surprisingly generous game. And if you keep going south from there, you’ll eventually come to the Bridge of Sacrifice, which will take you to a southern landmass with a ton of great loot and a wealth of low level opponents, especially in Castle Morne, the stronghold on the southern edge of the continent. Though the trolls look big and intimidating, they’re much easier to take down than the Tree Sentinel. If you’re still hungry for beefier stats, you can head south down that road and take on the caravan that includes two giant trolls pulling a carriage, as well as a large group of enemies acting as their entourage. There are hard-to-spot treasure chests in the broken-down black carriages next to the road there, and another underground down a short staircase, all of which contain potentially useful starting gear. North of this lake is a group of enemies encamped in the Gatefront Ruins, and they’re great for honing your skills and accruing some runes at the same time. When you’re done with those, head east toward the shallow lake that you can see from the First Step site of grace. Check for their locations in the image below. If you’d like a bit more guidance on where to go, there are several relatively easy dungeons near the starting point.

And every character needs points in vigor (health) and endurance (equip weight and stamina). If you want to blast foes with spells from a safe distance, add points to intelligence, as well as the mind stat, which gives you more FP (mana) for casting. ![]() Go explore! And while you’re at it, level up the stats that go well with the weapons and abilities you want to use.įor example, if you like big swords that require lots of strength to wield, level up strength. Leveling up is crucial to being able to take on tough enemies in Elden Ring, but that doesn’t mean you need to grind monotonously for hours on end. Unlike in Dark Souls, in Elden Ring, that path spreads out in every direction, thanks to the game’s exciting new open-world format. The designers used the same trick in Elden Ring that they pulled all the way back in Dark Souls when they put nigh-unbeatable skeletons in the graveyard near Firelink Shrine: You’re supposed to get brutally smacked once or twice, and then choose another path. The best thing you can do to prepare for Tree Sentinel at the start of your adventure is to ignore it. That said, some players are going to want to stomp back, and for them, we’ve put together this Tree Sentinel guide. Tree Sentinel, a massive mounted enemy located right next to the first site of grace in Elden Ring’s open world, is meant to teach you in a roundabout way that you can go do something else when you’re getting stomped. Elden Ring has more tutorials than the average FromSoftware title, but since it’s still basically a Souls game, it’s not going to tell you everything outright. ![]()
