Magic resistance in Elden Ring is rather accessible. Generally, lighter and more fragile armors provide higher Magic resistance. There's no shortage of this type of armor. To help players make more informed choices, additional Magic-resistant armor introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has been added to this list, ensuring that players won't be unprepared against the most dangerous new bos

Updated January 22, 2025 by Erik Petrovich : The best Daggers in Elden Ring are those that come with some kind of special effect or unlock a unique moveset, but many of the game's daggers are useful in the right hands with the right build. With the addition of several new DLC daggers, Elen Ring players have some more choices when it comes to the best Elden Ring Daggers. This Elden Ring Dagger tier list has been updated to include the Main-Gauche and Fire Knight's Shortsword, as well as to include some new details on Daggers available in the base g

It's great for players who focus on their melee builds going after Magic builds but for battlemages, there are better options out there. Still, one can't deny the Elden Bling potential of this armor. It's a little rough around the edges, at least the defenses are respecta

Fire Knight's Shortsword : One of the best Elden Ring daggers added in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is this Fire damage-infused dagger. The Fire Knight's Shortsword scales very well with Faith and the Flame infusion, which boosts its Fire damage further. There are a lot of Fire resistant enemies in the DLC, but this is a great one to bring back to the base g

While exploring Nokstella, Eternal City players are bound to stumble upon a large blocked room that’s near the giant Silver Sphere. The room is concealed by fog so head to the Imp Statue and use a Stonesword Key to unveil it.

Consecrated Snowfield is something of a special case. Two Night's Cavalry will be guarding a Hearse near the Inner Consecrated Snowfield grace. Both riders must be defeated to get the drops. They leave the Night's Cavalry armor and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone, so seek them out.

Black Knife : The Black Knife hits S-tier primarily for its ability, Blade of Death. Despite a cumbersome animation, the Blade of Death ability does a hefty amount of damage and applies a damage-over-time eff

Summonwater Village is easy enough to access, it's along the big main road on Stormhill , just east, near the Limgrave-Caelid border. It's a ruined town dominated by the Tibia Mariner . That's not too worrying as the boss is a pushover— one of the weakest in the game.

The best side weapon to use with Moonveil is another katana to unlock the Powerstancing moveset unique to the weapon class. Powerstancing in Elden Ring lets players trade off defense for raw damage output, practically dealing twice the amount of damage as normal.

Spells that deal AoE damage, like the Rotten Breath Incantation or Meteorite Sorcery, are useful to Moonveil users too, though they do require more careful stat planning. Rock Sling is a classic among Magic-wielders for its impressive ability to break enemy posture with Physical damage, not Magic damage, which can give a good opportunity for a series of attacks when you successfully stagger an enemy.

This is also another area for which players will want to reserve some Stonesword Keys to unlock. It's in the Elden Ring 's late-game level and it's easily spotted after the Godskin Duo boss fight. It unlocks an elevator that leads to a large area in the Crumbling Farum Azula. Starting from Dragon Temple Altar Site of Grace :

Elden Ring is a massive game, so chances are good that it’ll take more than one playthrough to see everything. Seeing as how starting new game plus in Elden Ring is as easy as resting at the Roundtable of Lost Grace and selecting the "Begin Journey 2" option, it can be tempting to do so without making any preparations. Don’t do that. There are certain things that can only be done with most of the map accessible and most of the stores unlocked. If one wants to start new game plus on the best possible footing, there are a few steps that should be taken first.

Erdsteel Dagger : A bit of extra reach and the ability to compliment a Faith-based build is nice, but the Erdsteel Dagger takes too much effort to get when players can easily go find better alternati

Moonveil has the Transient Moonlight Ash of War, which allows its wielder to cast one of two special attacks after entering stance. With the light attack button, after holding down your input for the Ash of War, you will send forth a short-range beam of magic horizontally. With the heavy attack follow up, you will launch a vertical slice of magic forward quite a distance. Both of these special attacks deal significant damage and are extremely useful against both groups of enemies and single-target bosses.
