1. Mohgwyn Palace – Albinauric Blood-Farm
Why It’s Great: This area is infamous for its high Rune yield and potential item drops. The Albinaurics here are vulnerable to AoE attacks and drop consumables, crafting materials, and even rare gear.
Item Highlights:
Somber Smithing Stones
Arcane-boosting gear
Blood-based weapons
Tips: Use area-of-effect Ashes of War or magic to quickly clear groups. The Sacred Relic Sword's Wave of Gold skill is extremely effective.
2. Haligtree – Elphael Inner Wall
Why It’s Great: As one of the most challenging endgame zones, Elphael hosts powerful enemies with a high chance of dropping rare and valuable Elden Ring items. Knights here may drop Haligtree armor sets and upgrade materials.
Item Highlights:
Cleanrot Knight gear
Smithing Stone [7] & [8]
Rare talismans
Tips: Equip item discovery-boosting gear like the Silver Scarab and Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot to increase drop rates.
3. Lake of Rot Shoreside – Scarlet Rot Materials and Rot Weapons
Why It’s Great: Despite the danger, this area yields valuable crafting materials used for Rot-related weapons and spells. Enemies here drop unique items rarely found elsewhere.
Item Highlights:
Rot Grease
Aeonian Butterfly
Rotten weapons
Tips: Use Preserving Boluses or the Flame, Cleanse Me Incantation to manage rot buildup. Spirit Ashes can distract enemies while you farm safely.
4. Royal Capital – Leyndell Soldiers and Knights
Why It’s Great: This mid-to-late-game zone offers a good balance between enemy difficulty and item quality. Knights and foot soldiers often drop weapons, armor, and runes, making it a high-yield farming location.
Item Highlights:
Crucible Knight gear
