Torrent’s double jump
Using Torrent’s double jump unlocks the Capital Gate, allowing you to travel to the northern part of the game. You can safely jump over these braziers if you have the ability to double jump. This opens a portal to a second tower in the northern part of the game. The final step is to light the last brazier, which will remove the seal leading north from the town. You can do this by using a Night Comet spell or a Double Slash Ash of War.
Defeat a Draconic Tree Sentinel in West Capital Rampart Site of Grace
This quest will unlock the gate to the Capital Outskirts after defeating a Draconic Tree Sentinel. This tree sentinel is a lone boss who won’t attack you unless you contact it. When you do contact it, you can use Spirit Summons to attack it and defeat it.
To beat this boss, you need to kill at least one Scarab. The Draconic Tree Sentinel has several shield attacks. The first one can bash enemies from any direction or slam them with its shield. Once its health is reduced to half, it will cast a crimson lightning attack. Once it reaches half health, the lightning will damage enemies both up close and from a distance. Its lightning aura will fry enemies.
The next Draconic Tree Sentinel is a tough enemy. It looks similar to the Tree Sentinel you met at the beginning of the game. It will attack Torrent and then retreat. It can attack more than once and is often very powerful. You should be prepared to deal with this tough enemy and not run away from it.
Defeat Morgott, the Omen King
Defeat Morgott, the Omend King to open the capital gate in the main quest. This new boss has a powerful sword and can deal damage to opponents. To summon Melina, locate her gold summon sign at the mist door on your right. Beware of the squishy nature of Melina; if you corner her, she will be destroyed. However, you shouldn’t back off completely from this boss.
To defeat Morgott, you must be able to survive two phases of his battle. During the first phase, he will charge, thrust, and roll towards you. His attacks are very difficult to dodge, so be sure to pay close attention to the hitboxes on his body and dodge before he tries to strike you. Fortunately, you can parry Morgott’s attacks. In the second phase, he must parry two times to reach the riposte state.
Defeat Maliketh
Defeat Maliketh in Elder Ring as a high level quest. This legendary character is extremely difficult to defeat, but the reward is much better than defeating him with your own strength. If you have already killed him, you must defeat him again, as he will attack you again. You will also be rewarded with a gold coin that you can use to purchase a new weapon. You can also use the Blasphemous Claw to parry his three-wave combo.
The entrance to Maliketh has a Draconic Tree Sentinel guarding it. It is a similar creature to the Draconic Tree Sentinel in Lyndell, but is not a boss. The only difference is that the Maliketh boss cannot be ridden. However, if you do manage to kill it, you will get the bounty. You should try this quest when your character is level 120-130. It is also a good idea to have a fully upgraded weapon, with +22/+25.
