NEVER Farm Runes Again! Best Way To Level Up In Elden Ring! 

"Unfortunately, we have to def'eat starscourge radahn" i can feel the suffering in that sentence

Radahn is the most beautiful and tragic of lore pieces. He learned gravitational magic not to fight but to be able to ride his horse and best friend while being that large. He was holding back the meteor shower of aliens from hitting the lands between. He fought his sister and enemy, Malenia to a standstill with her rot destroying him from the inside out. He eats friends and enemies alike after they die in his arena but NEVER eats his best friend and horse.

Mining ruins made easy, first step go defeat a legendary boss lol

Honestly I really enjoyed Radahn. It was a really epic fight, it felt right out of a book having your small army vs that giant berserker. Sure, it was kinda hard when a hit could either directly kill me or stun me enough to get killed but still, I loved it.

The working from home comment hits, as I'm sitting here meant to be working LOL

This damn game took over my life can't stop playing

I love all these clickbait articles on Elden Ring. I knew exaclty what this was before I clicked on it. FARM 1MILLION RUNES IN 1 HOUR EASY! First step: "be 46 hours into the game in beat 3 major bosses as well as 12 Great enemies."

I just love how he calls the npcs "friends" as he continues to sacrifice them.

I just beat this boss last night, your strategy would have made it way easier haha. I'll be sure to give this xp farm a try. Nice video!

Quick tip: i recommend attacking an enemy first before using mimic veil because sometimes the healthbar won't spear if you don't attack them and if it won't appear for me i don't get the runes

If you have a melee build, you're safer fighting on foot rather than horseback with him. Outside his charge move on his horse, the majority of his attacks are easily dodged or they whiff because you're hugging his legs/horse.

If you use the Dragon Communion Seal it will boost rotten breath

The Giant Ball at Lenne's Rise: Where is everybody?

BEWARE! You need faith 15 and arcane 12 to use rotten breath

Such a great spot to farm xp and enjoy watching the AI fight itself. Small tip for anyone trying to keep it going head to the bottom of the stairs where the scarlet rot is and if you stop seeing the numbers tick then you’ll have to hit them with an arrow or a spell to get one of them to start taking damage again and it’ll keep going. Similarly you can also just run past them :) Thanks again for this guide!

For anyone having trouble on radahn: you can actually hold the cast button of the rotten breath, that way aplying scarlet rot with more ease

You are on fire sir. Non stop run farming tips

Your channel really is something great. I got on RU-vid to look up how to beat starscourge, before I even hit the search button I saw this video on my homepage and now I know an afk farm and how to beat starscourge easy. Thanks brother!

You have helped me get runes so much faster on my Spirit Ashes only run! Thank you

3:32, I just got on my horse and dodged it that way. Then summoned the last 3 and ran around like your instructions. Worked like a charm! I’m a level 66

If you can get a longer hit off on Radahn in each phase you only need to hit him once per phase with Rotten Breath. Kind of risky, but he has some cooldowns between his huge attacks that you can take advantage of. Or just stand in front of him and blast while eating a hit. Once his health starts dropping you can ride Torrent to safety and just wait for phase change or death.

Fun fact: Radahn takes bleed damage. Bleed damage does %max health damage. 4-5 bleed procs ends the fight. Do with that info what you will.

Thanks! Very thorough walkthrough on this boss (I already beat him but this is cool seeing a different strategy). Also, excited to see if this works better than the "big bird" method which is starting to get inefficient (it's now requiring me a whopping 200K in runes to level up after grinding away at ball + big bird for many hours).

Great plan, thank you. I found just respawning your allies is effective, you can avoid getting hit and they do the work for you. And the never farm runes again spot is genius. I find that within 2 min I get approx. 7K runes, and waiting for approx. 10 min I get approx. 13K. Waiting longer than that I find it doesn't work as well. But still brilliant as you actually can set your alarm and do this cheat strategy while, let's say, doing chores around the home.

"it does involve defeating a rather difficult boss" I'm sure I can take him *Sees Radahn's arena* I give up

"and you don't wanna be running around back and forth dodging a ball" I feel personally attacked and at the same time relieved that I'm not the only idiot who does this

"I got 125000 runes last time i was here" Me who needs 220000 to level up: I need more efficiency.

Thankfully I just beat this boss yesterday, so I’m gonna take full advantage of this right away.

The breath doesn’t have to be super close it has a decent range you just have to hold down the charge button and you will get him affected after one full breath of course this is risky but if you are skilled enough on running and dodging on your horse should be easy enough and quick tip if you dismount before you know you’re going to take a hit you get a small window of invulnerability and same for mounting up just gotta time it right it’s a more advanced tactic but definitely saved my butt plenty during the radahn fight and you can sit back and range him really good while he’s distracted and ticking away would love to coop or pvp with you Tag love your vids keep em coming!!!!

the breath attack, if you are faith built, will actually demolish his health bar as well, especially if you charge it. I was helping someone in a 2 man version of this (higher boss health) and all it took was 2 fully held breath attacks and Radahn was toast, the friend never even had to move from the starting position except to summon the followers

Love your videos man

Go back to the cave of knowledge and make your way through the stone key door, when you get all the way to the end where the knight is, the item behind him is a dragon communion seal, increases damage for your dragon communion incantations, and for the people trying to fight him for the first time, at the top of the hill it let me summon in the allies again after they all died

Testing in 1.04 today, this does work but not in the location he specified. For me it works on the ground while cloaked as a mimic, not the stairs. By ground I mean on the level with the four stair cases going up. Rather than going up a stair I stay on that base. The guys spawn there and ignore me and jump down to fight each other in the blood pool. It takes some work to set this up because if the enemies see you move before fully mimicked they will attack you. You have to be fully mimicked before they see you for this to work. And just to be clear I am waiting right next to the enemy spawn point closer to the boss room, as a mimic. Another note is I am able to run almost all the way back to the site of grace to de Aggro enemies if they see me before I can mimic. There, I can mimic myself and then re approach the stage without risking having a newly spawned enemy see me cast mimic. If the numbers disappear, I can shoot an arrow at one of them and it will restart. Sometimes it times out quickly other times it goes on for longer. Also sometimes the only thing needed to restart the numbers is moving around a bit or getting an archer to aggro me. To be honest it’s very inconsistent and not simply AFK farming. At best it’s a multi tasking farm.

Thanks for the upload finally found some place to go AFK and level up on Elden ring while playing triangle strategy on my switch 😁😁😁😅😅😅 as they came out around the same time Lol and I love to devote all my attention to both this makes that much easier.

Thanks so much! Good work

thank you for the information. In the War Dead Catacombs I followed what you said, one ghost actually spawned on that ledge where you were at. Need to continue to work at this area.

As of 1.03 it has lost efficiency. You have to damage the ghosts for them to do any damage to themselves after they respawn. In my testing if the “battle music” fades out and the dungeon ambience kicks in that lets me know it’s not working anymore and I have to poke the spirits with an arrow or something. I find it best to not go in the area he specified in the video, but rather looping around to where the lever for the boss door is. I go to the very end opposite where the ghost archer is and wait for them appear in the bottom hall opening

For anyone curious, to make the farm easier I check up on it and move closer to where they’re fighting (while staying on the ledge that the video creator shows) to make sure they keep going. It’s been about 30 mins so far and it seems to work

Omg bro thank you so much i have alot of responsibilities since my parents are always out thanks to this i can do all the things i need while leveling up at the same time thank you soo mucchhhh you have my gratitudeee

It's winter and I've finally decided to play this game, and of course my fav game uploader has the video I need❤ thank you, sir!

after entering the room with the battle you can go immediatly right into the far corner to spawn an archer above as well.

I experimented a bit yesterday, and I found that hiding in safe area amongst the rot (just opposite to the bottom landing of a staircase where rot starts) seems to work ok. I wasn't sitting there watching it minute per minute, and my character ended up getting killed at some point, but over that ~45 minute period, it was about 60K runes. It's not a very efficient use of electricity at this point to farm this way, but might not be a bad way for people who haven't done Varre's questline to access the big bird farming location.

This no longer works. After a few thousand, the runes stop coming.

I'm probably not the only person to figure this out, but the Darkness incantation is *really* good for this farm. You can lead new enemies down to the Scarlet Slop area and once they're close to the fray, cast darkness and sneak out. I do this every so often when I notice the action slowing down and it keeps the farm going. It can be a little risky if you're squishy, but it's a bit quicker than the run back to reset, I think.

I've found that if you crouch on the right corner of the stairs on the left where he is showing (right on the very edge of the ledge), the knights on the upper floor will try to attack you with their spear charge and fall off the ledge into the pit below, which keeps the fighting below you going.

There is a little ledge you can jump on from the broken stairs. You can hide from the archer and if you get the right spot the mobs up top will Agro on you and fall down below continuing the loop. Not 100% but usually nets me 100k before being hit by too many random fire pots.

I love this game and it's content creators. You guys rock man.

This is the first one that works for me , u just got a new subscriber

My recommendation is to kill one of the cleanrot knights first then activate the others. Because they are so prone to falling of you need to voluntarily make the respawn cycle offset for one of the knights so they always respawn before the regular knights otherwise the cleanrot knights will eventually kill all of the regular knights and stick to the lower level where they can’t repeat the aggro process.

Thanks bro! Your elden tips are gold. Keep em comin. 👍

Bro this is literally fire you just discovered me a time saving plan forever omg

Cunning, Totally missed seeing that doorway when I rode along the cliff bottom. Thanks.

I put more hours into this game than work this week 🤣

I did this exact thing. That rot breath has quite the range and can be channeled. I applied rot in 1 channeled breath at range and then it’s just entropy until round two. Rinse, repeat.

Thank Your, Your video makes playing Elden Ring more fun for me.

Working great nice going man

If you use the Clawmark Seal you only have to hit Radahn once with the breath, at least that was my experience, and my stats were the base of what you need for rot breath and the Seal wasn't upgraded. It does boost bestial incantations, so that might be why. I believe you get it from the beast guy you give the deathroots to in northern Caelid.

Accidentally unmuted during zoom call with work. Another dev heard ER in background. He says “farming runes?” Busted.

Tried this today while watching the hockey game. Great way to make progress while not really playing. Some times I'd go to reset and have +10k and it needs to be reset. Sometimes I go to check and it's +25k with fights still going on. Just check every 10 minutes or so and good to go! Side note.. leveled from 90 to 98 while watching a hockey game lol

Good idea, thank you very much. Boss fell down yesterday :)

Bro if I had seen your strategy way before it wouldn’t had taken me 5 hours and 50+ deaths to defeat him. And also loving this farming I don’t have to do anything and 20+k ruins right away thanks man

You had me until you said defeat Radahn

Awesome video thank you 💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Thumbs up and a sub for having an "AFK Farm" thumbnail and actually delivering on the promise.

This is exactly what I was looking for Thank you almighty bald elden lord Tag!!!!

You can also use the Serpent Bow, Poison Arrows (Fletched) and Arrows Reach Talisman. Took a few tries but I didnt have to get close to him at least.

There is another safe spot on the broken stairs, where you can drop onto a few stone blocks protruding from the wall and stand on them let sort of in-between floor levels. Also if you want to make more runes faster but don't mind a little hassle, you can stand on the diagonal staircase or in the archway in the middle and wait for the knight to spawn and simply block, counter and CRIT him to sleep. He will spawn again after a few seconds, rinse and repeat and you get 1,4k every 10-15 seconds with golden scarab equipped. And that's on top of the mayhem that's happening underneath.

Dude your brain is so friggin huge! Love your videos!

Was trying so hard to beat him with my twinblades to no avail. Switched to full on sorcery rock slinger(57 int, meteorite) and he disappeared real quick.

Without the cheese, for me at least, Radahn was easily one of the hardest from software bosses I’ve ever fought. It don’t know what it was about his attacks, maybe it was the delay and the spells, but even with summons this boss was extremely difficult. Edit: Just fought the Apostlle duo, imo harder then Radahn, but much more bs. Edit 2: After finally beating Melania, I’ve gotta be honest and say the pre-nerf version of Radahn that I fought felt harder, but also more fun.

OMGGG fighting Radahn with the Rotten Breath was so epic 😂I just defeated him in my fourth attempt and the "Rotten Breath and Run" tactic was suuuuper fun to watch as he kept losing HP and all the spirits were fighting him while I was just riding around the battlefield, watching and laughing my butt off 😄

I had reduvia blood blade on my dagger fighting radahn. Was actually really fun firing blood at a beserker as he leaped in the air and having to last minute roll for s.

This still works btw if anyone is wondering

I got the rotten breath right away before knowing how good it was and let me tell you. I beat Goddrick first try because of this 🤣 its OP and I love it.

Wow.. confession time. I have been coding and playing Elden Ring at the same time. This is the most addicting and deepest game I have ever EVER played. Mind you - I despise Dark Souls "hellish mode" games, but I am sold. I have died 1000 times in the game and still ask "for another please". Your tut is a god-send. Now I can farm and get my 20% bonus for turning in my code on time. Sub-For-Life. Thanks!!!

Yep, exactly what I expected. Can confirm, this is amazing.

I was already a dex/faith build and already had rotten breath (can be used at a short distance if you can't get up on him as down in video). I decided to be reborn and got my vigor up to about 30, and consumed a rune ark just to stay alive! Took me 3 hours but I got him! Currently getting my runes worth by being a tree😏 Update: I Decided to farm by shooting a bolt at big bird underground and it gives me way more runes quicker, especially since this way does stop working for me and they start all standing around after about 10 minutes.

This has been patched. When I try it, you’ll get souls only for the ones you’re physically watching. Been at it for half an hour and got about 15k souls. Not bad, but not working the way the video shows

I just discovered this yesterday!! I went to wash dishes and came back to runes galore. Was like whoa.

My Friend you are a God-send you earned my sub and I think the patch update messed it up because the enemies don't take damage after a while even though there not blocking

not as efficient as the bird farm, but definitely worth unlocking, afk rune farms are always super useful

for anyone wondering, the cheese works amazing well! I'm terrible at this game but I enjoy exploring and gathering cool items. radahn was a huge roadblock and the cheese saved the day.

Wonderful, you are the man!

Good vid bro thanks

Found out AFK farming pretty early on at the impassable bridge. Just go pull the dog creatures over and the soldiers will fight it out with them for about 5k in 5 mins. Not great but I found it early and liked it.

"Never farm runes again!" Me who wants all Proficiencies- you underestimate my power

A year ago ,around the time this video was made I was I was a noob, and just started playing elden ring. As a noob I doubted my builds (still do) and had made it apoint to beat radahn with the cheese and other peoples builds so I could unlock this farm. I beat radahn after 2 weeks... I know this boss fight was easy for most but for me it was hell and all because I doubted myself I only started getting close to beating him when I stopped trying to do The cheese methods. And other peoples builds I gave into myself and tested out what I thought was a cool build at the time (was like a really crappy build now that I look at it) playing the way I wanted to play gave me just enough motivations and moral that on the first try with that crappy build I made I finnaly beat him. So If your having trouble beating redahn dont worry you can do it and dont be afraid to experiment with all sorts of builds you find fun. If your having fun your sure to beat/win. (Oh and to add salt I never use this farm I suck balls when it come to fiddleing with it)

Yeah baby let's gooo! Glad to see the Rot'n Run tactic put to good use

WHILE FIGHTING RADAHN... You only need to hit him with rotten breath 2 times total. 1 hit with the rotten breath will take him down to half health. The second one after he enters phase 2 and you will win. It takes about 2 minutes each phase. Hold it down for the whole amount of your fp

In the current patch I can get 500k runes in about 20 minutes but it’s not afk

Your strategy made me respec some to use rotton breath. Radahn took 2 tries after rotton breath charging and just taking a scenic horseback ride

Ty man defeted radahn first try, thx to your guide, god bless you

Perfect rune farming spot if you want to do something while also earning runes on the side. A little inconsistent when it comes to duration (sometimes 8 mins, sometimes 30 mins), and slower compared to the boulder method or farming at farum greatbridge. But definitely useful if you have something important to do but you still want to grind in the game

i finally beat margit today lol and that armor set is so cool

I literally didn’t realize you could summon your friends in there (Blaidd & Co.). That be good to know for the future

Thank you so so so so much. I love you, Tag. 😂

I tried it around 10 times. It seams to always glitch around 20-30k. I don't know if the AI is better on other systems but on my PS4 the AFK method is just not reliable.

At this point just run a save editor to have 9 billion runes and 999 stats lol

First time i noticed the skybox change after he enters 2nd phase. Nice!

Thank you lol cause I was definitely tired of dodge a ball for hours 😅
