Sacred Relic Sword
The Sacred Relic Sword is an epic greatsword found in the Elden Ring. Unlike many other powerful weapons in the game, you cannot use it at first, so you need to find it first and get a few Somber Smithing Stones to level up. This sword scales with Strength and Faith. Getting it requires a high level of Strength, Dexterity, and Faith. It also requires a lot of Somber Smithing Stones, such as the Ancient Dragon Somber Smithing Stone.
While playing the Elden Ring, you’ll encounter a path covered in Albinaurics. They’re passive enemies, but still attack you from time to time. When you’re surrounded by Albinaurics, use the Wave of Gold, which creates a shockwave that kills them all at once and earns you 50000 Runes. If you have a Golden Scarab, you can use it in the Site of Grace as well, and it will be very beneficial.
Marika’s Hammer
Marika’s Hammer is a melee armament you can use in Elden Ring. It is a stone hammer that was forged by Queen Marika in the Numen lands, outside of the Lands Between. When Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring, the hammer partially broke and was splintered with rune fragments. It is the only melee weapon that gets you past the wall of thorns and lets you pass through the wall of thorns.
When you reach Leyndell, the Royal Capital, you will have to face the final boss, Morgott, the Omen King. You can find the Imbued Sword Key in the third-highest Belfry and the west coast of Liurnia Of The Lakes. This boss can be extremely challenging if you don’t know how to deal with its many hands and powerful attacks. Having a huge shield and timing your dodges will help you survive, so you can get a head start on your enemies.
Mountaintop of the Giants
Getting past the Wall of Thorns requires you to find the only flame capable of burning the Erdtree thorns. This area can only be accessed through the city of Leyndell. The closest shortcuts are the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace and East Capital Rampart Site of Grace. The path will then curve east and pass through a large double gate.
The Mountaintop of the Giants region can only be reached through story progression. The region is north of the Liurnia Region and contains two locations: Castle Sol and Forge of Giants. The westernmost area of the region is a part of the region leading to Haligtree and cannot be reached until you obtain a secret medallion.
There are several ways to defeat the Flying Dragon Agheel. The first way is to use a giant shield to soak up his attacks. Alternatively, you can use the Imbued Sword Key on the third highest of the Four Belfries. You can also distract the Tree Sentinel using Spirit Ashes. While the Flying Dragon Agheel has the most wow factor, it is a relatively easy monster to defeat. When it comes to dealing with him, you should avoid swooping attacks and dodges.
Getting to the Elden Throne
The second part of Elden Ring’s first quest – Getting past the wall of thorns – can be a bit tricky. To get past the thorns in this quest, you need kindling and some sort of weapon. Once you have them, you’ll be able to proceed to the next part of the quest and finally reach the Great Erdtree.
The first part of this quest can be found in Leyndell, the Royal Capital, after defeating Morgott, The Omen King. Getting past the wall of thorns can be a bit difficult, but it’s not impossible. In this part of the quest, you will be able to meet Melina, a beautiful princess who is willing to help you overcome the challenge. She will offer to accompany you on your journey and give you the Rold Medallion, which is necessary to access the Mountaintops of the Giants.
Another aspect of the game that will make this part of the quest a bit easier is the abundance of sorcery in the game. While there are many melee-based types of combat in Elden Ring, you can also find a large number of ranged sorceries. A lot of these sorceries are based on Glintstone magic and will throw shiny star-like projectiles at enemies. Some of the sorceries will go against the norm and are worth a look if you’re a fan of magic.
