Like many open-world games, Elden Ring has crafting. You’re going to want to know how to make your ownElden Ring weapons, poison darts, and snacks forTorrenton the road, after all.

Your trusty steed won’t want for anything ever again when you’re done.
First, get used to picking up materials wherever you see them. From the very beginning of the game, you’re going to see lots of flowers, mushrooms, and odd shiny objects to pick up. Get in the habit of picking up everything you see: you never know what you may need later on.

You can do this really early on. After exiting the Cave of Knowledge, you’ll find The First Step Site of Grace. Travel north and you’ll see a dilapidated building, containing the Church of Elleh. Here you’ll find the very first merchant of the game, who offers the kit for 300 runes. You should also purchase the Nomadic Warrior’s and the Missionary Cookbooks.

Imogen has been playing games for as long as she can remember but finally decided games were her passion when she got her hands on Portal 2. Ever since then she’s bounced between hero shooters, RPGs, and indies looking for her next fixation, searching for great puzzles or a sniper build to master. When she’s not working for PC Gamer, she’s entertaining her community live on Twitch, hosting an event like GDC, or in a field shooting her Olympic recurve bow.
