Elden Ringis, without a doubt, a challenging game. EvenDark Soulsveterans are having a tough but good time with some of the more challenging aspects of the game. Just like theDark Soulsseries, players are expected to spend the game’s main form of currency to level up and purchase items.
The player has to trade Runes in place of Souls as currency inElden Ring, but the concept is almost the same. However, before one can level up their character to boost the stats of their choosing, they willneed to meet the Maiden called Melina.
Thankfully, players won’t need to wait long before they encounter Melina and obtain the ability to level up and gainElden Ring’sSpectral Steed named Torrent. The player will encounter Melina at the Gatefront Site of Grace once it has been activated. It’s located outside the archway past the enemy camp.
How To Easily Obtain 1000 Runes in Elden Ring
Once the player has met Melina and rested at the Site of Grace, it’s time for their character to make their way through the large archway toface the giant Troll waiting to pounceat a high point. It will probably be the biggest enemy one will encounter this early in the game, but there’s an easy way to prepare and defeat it:
Fighting the Troll will take some practice to get the timing of the rolls down. It’s worth it, however, because this is one of the quickest and easiest ways to obtain 1000 Runes over and over againto level up early inElden Ring. Moreover, if the player’s character is defeated, they won’t have to go far to reclaim the Runes.
Fighting The Troll On Horseback
Another method of fighting the Troll ismounted combat inElden Ring. This method can be more difficult, but again, timing is everything. However, instead of rolling between the Troll’s legs, charge at them by pressing the Circle button on PlayStation or B on Xbox. The player’s character should find themselves behind the Troll, leaving it vulnerable to some powerful attacks on horseback.
Elden Ringis available for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
