Sword of Night and Flame

The perfect dual-stat weapon

The Sword of Night and Flame

Is still the best weapon in the game for split Intelligence/Faith builds, as its Intelligence and Faith scaling are higher than the newly introduced Relana’s twin blades

Which is more of a quality weapon.

Although this weapon is acquired quite early in the game in the Carian Manor, it does not begin to become a truly powerful option until enough stats have been invested. In order to achieve maximum damage output, It requires 50 Intelligence and 50 FaithWhich can be difficult to achieve in a single game, and also level stats such as Strength, Mind and Endurance.

The Sword of Night and Flame is an interesting weapon, like these Night-and-Flame Stance skill

did Two different attacks that balance independently. His light attack ends a comet shower that scales with Intelligence, while his heavy attack unleashes a wave of fire that scales with Faith.

Stick from the big next

Cast both incantations and sorceries

The Stick from the big next

is a long overdue addition to the Elden Ring sandbox, allowing the Tanished to cast both incantations and sorceries on a single catalyst. Before the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, players had to switch to another catalyst in order to cast a different class of magic. The staff of the great next mitigates this problem by having No downtime between casting incantations and sorceries. Obtain the staff by trading the memory of the mother of fingers with finger reader Enia.

Before this staff existed, I would have recommended these Golden Order Seal

or these Prince of Death’s Staff

For players with Intelligence/Faith builds, as they have the highest scaling of all Intelligence/Faith catalysts in the game. however, While the staff of the great next may not have as high scalingIt is certainly worth the trade in order to cast each type of spell in Alden ring. This allows for combos that are otherwise not possible, which can be exciting to experiment and play with.

Sacred Relic Sword

For rune farming purposes

The Sacred Relic Sword

is the ultimate reward from the base game of Alden ring After defeating Radagon of the Golden Order and the Elden Beast. It is famous for farming runes, like its Wave of gold skill

Can decimate large groups of enemies at a time, netting thousands of runes per minute in the right spots. One of the best spots for farming runes is in the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of GraceWhere tens of albinurics sleep in a group.

An infinite source of runes is especially useful for New Game Plus, especially if the player has decided to respect before jumping into their new journey. Now that the base game is over, there are likely very few bosses to earn runes from anymore Purchasing smithing stones can get quite expensive. Use the Sacred Relic Sword to top off runes in order to stock up on as many upgrade materials as possible.

Grave/Ghost Sword Master Bearings

Upgrade Cool Spirit Ash

With so many spirit ashes in it Alden ring To play with, it can be difficult to keep them all upgraded with enough materials. There are also some Spirit Ashes that can only be obtained through certain endings of questlines, like these Trash doll ash

Or Ancient Dragon Florissax

What means Not every item can be acquired in a single New Game run. As such, it is important that the corresponding master bearings for each rank of Grave Glovewort and Ghost Glovewort are found before diving into New Game Plus.

The Bell Bearings are scattered throughout the lands between, some notable locations being the eternal cities of Nokron and Noxtella. After acquiring the Ghost Glovewort and Grave Glovewort Bell Bearings, they can be turned into the Twin Maiden Husks for an infinite supply of Gloveworts 1-9. unfortunately, There are a finite number of Great Gloveworts per journeySo upgrading each spirit ash to the maximum is quite a long effort.

By far the most important items to grab before starting New Game Plus are the Somberstone Master Bearings and Smithing Stone Master Bearings. This will allow the Tanished to upgrade any new weapons they find or want to switch to, without having to collect smith stones all over the map like in a new game. By using the Sacred Relic Sword for infinite runes, The master bearings provide an infinite source of armament upgrade materials.

Some of the master bearings are given to the tanished along the main road, such as the Smithing-stone miner’s master bearing [4]Which is dropped from the Godskin Duo in Forum Azula. However, other than the Somberstone miner’s master bearing [2] are Found in more hidden locations like Altus Tunnel. Because of this, it is important to collect them all before starting a new journey, because the Tanished will have to discover the locations again if they missed any.
