The BEST Way To LEVEL Fast In Elden Ring! 585,600 Runes Per Hour - Elden Ring Rune Farm 

For an additional bonus, do the farming at night because occasionally you will get a bolder to spawn that drops 9000+ souls. It’s a “glowing eye” enemy (even though boulders don’t have eyes lol)

For anybody wondering why it's hard to get the rune points. Stay close to the edge of the cliff and turn around and watch the ball roll off the cliff. It will help. I think once you stop looking at the ball it will disappear and you won't get the points. Hope this helps.

For people watching this video, if you have Lenne’s rise grace already unlocked you can skip directly to 4:20 as the exploit explanation actually starts from there

Added bonus, if you can locate the abandoned cave in Central caelid you can get the gold scarab talisman which increases runes obtained from defeated enemies. Which raises the payout of the Boulder to 2,342 runes.

Thanks for making this

The boss poison hack doesn’t work anymore. If he gets too far away from the bridge he automatically teleports back.

So an update for me: After the latest patch this farm still works. I use a fowl foot and sprint towards the site of grace in order to reset the ball, and repeating that. I'll get around 3075 runes pr run. However, for the night boss on the bridge, that's been patched. He won't suffer that much damage by the poison traps and he will also teleport back to the bridge when you are close to the top of the hill with traps - no matter how close he is to you.

If anyone is curious, yes this still works after the patch. I just noticed that it's worth making sure you watch it fall off to get the exp

For those saying its inconsistent, look at the ball as it rolls off. Works everytime. The ball needs to roll OFF the cliff pretty quick, I always do a quick turn to make it fall off fast. If you let it roll down the hill, no XP. ALSO for people with slower load times, running to the grace may be faster than teleporting. There is also a second ball farther down that you can do the same thing with, can do both and then teleport. you will have to test which is better for your loading times.

For those have a problem with consistency, you have to look in the direction of the Boulder after it falls off the cliff. If you ride away to fast with your back turned to the falling Boulder you won’t get “souls”.

They must have made an update cause the poisoning the horseman at night isn’t working for me and I’ve tried 100 times

Just a tip for those who don't know, make sure that after you turn around, you watch the ball drop to get your runes, if you dont and start going back to the grace then you won't receive your runes

If you're using a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot to increase the runes you get, don't fast travel to the Grace because it'll just remove the effect. So you'll just have walk to the Grace to reset the enemies and keep the effect.

Use a GOLD PICKLED FOWL FOOT before doing the boss trick! Goes from 42,000 to 54,599!!! And when farming the rock with said foot, do not teleport, it will deactivate the effect. Instead run back to the lost grace and sit. You can get about 7 to 8 runs with it active!

One thing to note is that at 2:41 he says that you can farm 2-4K per hour in that location. The enemies there are easy to backstab and are actually worth 1k each making it a pretty easy farming area

A quick tip I suggest, Instead of teleporting, walk towards the site of grace, rest, and then leave. This will still reset the ball and doesn’t take as much time

For those that don’t know there is a additional ball down the road by a tree laying down. You can get 4K each run doing both. I have yet to see a video of someone doing both ball drops. The 2nd ball is also way more consistent at dropping runes.

So just a heads up that I've noticed. If you don't physically see the Boulder go down sometimes it won't give you the runes *something else I notice. Don't open the map when it falls. Wait until you see the runes pop up then open the map.

Just started playing 2 days ago. This is so helpful, man. Thank you!

Okay you won me over as a subscriber. I like the fact you ACTUALLY explain what to do rather than say "do what I do" then fast forward it and never explain where, when or how! I have nerve damage that often delays the signal from my brain to my hands but if you take the ramp on the left you can take your time turning and dropping down then dodging the marble at the edge of the cliff for folks who might have trouble with the turn around. Doing it the way you show I got squashed about every 3rd or 4th time LOL! Getting my runes back was easy enough but still... Thanks for the awesome tips!

The giants 1k each, at the beginning of the game are pretty good, but this is faster with less risk. Bleed destroys giants.

While riding down the path to the giant ball, you can hug the left side of the cliff wall and harvest some Glintstone Fireflies from the blue crystal formations and Faded Erdleaf Flowers (both crafting materials) and on the run back up to the site of grace, you can hug the left side again (which was your right side on the way down) to harvest even more Glintstone Fireflies. You can do this without breaking sprint, so it's just bonus crafting materials while you cheese yourself to victory!

Certainly very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share & post. Definitely looking forward to future content. Yes I've subscribed to your channel and yes, I've clicked on the notification bell. Appreciate this video.

For the Nights Cavalry it’s significantly easier to try and bait it off the bridge by running on the ledge kinda the same way you do with the Boulder, the poison method can be glitchy depending on how you do it. Also there is a dragon a little past Lenne’s Rise that you can kill at night with bleed in a specific spot that gives you like 100k.

If you put the Opaline Bubbletear on your Wondrous Physick flask and take it before each run, you don't have to worry about dodging or turning back around to see the ball fall. Just ride past where it spawns and stop facing the cliff its going to roll off. The shield your flask provides will absorb the damage and the ball will continue rolling past you off the cliff already in your view. Easy as can be.

NO WAYYYYYY - Totally gonna do this today!! Loving these guides so much!

On sprint, the best I ever got was 25 seconds round trip. It is consistent at 2x per minute, though. Sometimes a golden rune (1) will spawn nearby. Sometimes the ball will kill a critter that has drops.

For someone who hasn’t played a single dark souls game and new to elden ring this helped me out a lot I’m doing it rn as I’m making this comment and it’s insane how clutch this is! Thanks bro I subbed!

important note, maybe due to patch: the boulder MUST go off the ledge - i have dodged it in ways where it simply missed me and disappeared, or missed me and crashed into a wall, and both of those outcomes yield you zero runes - make sure to go in almost the exact same spots he does in the video to ensure the boulder goes off the edge

Started watching your channel during AC with my kids and have gotten some great tips from you on this game! I am a first time souls player, so my death count is high...keep up the awesome vids man, I appreciate them all!

Thanks for your help man! I tried the posin stuff for the boss but it didn't work for me but it helped me find another way. If you walk up the branch at the end of the bridge to the left he will follow you up the branch. All you have to do is jump off when he tries to walk up the branch and he falls off!!! Hope this helps anyone having a problem with this part of the walk through.

Thank you for this. I have been stuck at the full moon queen (level 32) so I went off and cleared a few lower bosses and forts/ castles. I managed to gain a single level from doing all that. This really helped!

Thanks for making this, it’s going to help a lot of people out dude.

This was super helpful. Thank you - I made sure to use one of the soul boosting gold chicken feet before I did the bridge boss.

I made an Odin type of character and your video involving the dragon, Morningstar weapon,and the gold foul leg got me pretty high in levels. I even took down Margot in one go thanks to it lol. Hope to come back with even greater results once I look this video over.

Another quick tip if u get the gold scarab talisman it increases the number of runes u get by 20% as long as u have it equipped, so instead of 1952 runes u get 2342 runes, it’s not that much of an increase but I thought it would be helpful to some

For those who don’t like the strat of teleporting back to the site of grace and resetting each time and want some action , the mobs there dressed in black drop around 1050 runes per kill. I was sneaking and backstabbing them and finishing them with one swipe last night for 3 hours managed to get ALOT of runes that way too

Finally got to start this game today. Finding it tough so I’ll be looking go do this tomorrow, thanks!

Another place that's good for farming is Windmill village without much danger of losing your runes. From the site of grace there you can kill all the witches going up the first lot of steps and then back to the site of grace again. I used the Bloodhound's Fang two handed and it was clearing out 3 to 4 witches at once. You'll get 200,000 - 250,000 runes an hour plus all the gold runes they drop.

Thanks for the video, great help man, I am on pc, and could only get the runes if I was by the edge of the cliff. Just levelled up to 26 on strength and 13 on Arcane in 40 mins! Thanks again 😀

Your guides are so helpful, thank you.

I farm the adds near the grace after taking the portal behind the third church. I use the meteorite staff with Swift Glintstone Pebble, I stay mounted takes me 7 cast to kill 1 and I kill 7 of them before using a potion. I go to the right of the bridge kill those 4 then up the hill kill those two, then to the left and kill those 4 then across the road and kill those 8 then I jump down and rest at the grace and repeat. Takes me 8 min give or take and it's 18k a run plus the loot they drop

Man I love you!!! It works!!! Has been a blast leveling up. I love u say synchronization too!! Assasins creed is awesome.

Great Channel! Just subscribed. Thanks for doing what you do!

I've tried both running back to the Site of Grace and fast traveling. I found both of them to take the same amount of time (using PC and a M.2) but I found reloading I get more consistent drops than I do trying to run back. Make sure to look at the ball dropping. If you stick around while it drops you'll get more consistent runes.

Ok here's how to get it every time: you're gonna be able to ascertain exactly when the ball spawns after a few runs, you can see it spawn just behind you even if youre just running past it. I run to the edge of the cliff, turn around to watch it spawn, and just walk torrent directly to the side of it, to my left if youre facing the ball. Continue to spin the camera back to where the ball is now falling off the cliff (for some reason it despawns if your camera isnt looking in its direction sometimes) as soon as you see the runes pop up, warp or run back, and make sure youre doing this at night, because sometimes it will just randomly give you x10 the amount of runes.

im used to farming the big giants at the start of the altus plateau but this seems faster. Thanks.

I just started in a lot of these videos are not only helpful but insanely cool.

Awesome! Normally you get about 1900 runes BUT if you defeat the boss in the abandoned cave (to the left of the smoldering wall grace, you will get the Gold Scarab talisman. Equip the talisman and you will get around 2300 runes when doing this farm!

Literally just did this. Im a level 12 and figured id just level up my character to enjoy it even more! This method is perfect!! Especially considering the grace point is right at beginning every time!! Thanks man!!!!

I can confirm that this farm still works in doing it at the moment

I don't think the Knight part works anymore though, I tried this over and over but he doesn't take poison damage, at least not enough to kill him. The ball farming part still works though

I just want to say 2 things: Firstly, this is a great farm and I appreciate the info. Secondly, it's not NEARLY as good as advertised. Guy says he can do this 5 times a minute but it takes him 23 seconds to make one rotation in the video. Even if you're on a PC with like instant loading time, just hopping on torrent, running down from the grace point and collecting the souls takes about 17 seconds. You would need to be making full rotations in 12 seconds to get 5 per minute. I'm on PS4, so my load time sucks. It takes about to same amount of time to run back to the grace as it does to fast travel, so a rotation takes about 32 seconds. I got 217k from 1 hour which is very good, but it's not 500-600k.

Also if you have a gold-pickled fowl foot for acquisition boost it'll farm for 2537 The only downside is you CAN'T fast travel or you'll lose the boost so just ride back rest rinse repeat should work for about 3 to 5 minute's

As a new player who has been struggling for the last few hours this helped a ton

This was Wonderful!! Both the farming and killing the Bridge Knight worked easily. Thanks :)

there's also a fun farming spot at the Site of Grace before the Impassable Greatbridge. If you do it right you can watch the HellHounds fight the small calvary there and gain ruins watching the fight.

Great vid man thanks for sharing. Outlined well, clear, concise, no jump cuts. Walking the player through the whole way. *Not patched* (idk if they will just an FYI :))

THIS IS SO HELPFUL. As someone that’s new to elden ring, and difficult games like it. This helped me not get one shotted by every basic enemy, so thanks!

Thank you for this video! I just started playing the game for the first time today!

Sometimes I get 9000 runes when the ball falls. Thank you for this farm location. You truly are the best at explaining how to do things. Your guide is easy to follow 😃♥️

The 5 + 3 “monsters” to the left of the dragon bridge gives 1000 runes per kill.

This has been such a help, Thanks for sharing! :)

I have found a spot. A bit slower but you can farm smiting stones up to level 4 and if you are patient almost all enemies can be sneak attacked. It's the battle next to the impassable gate Bridge. Great spot

This is a good spot for sure. My only feedback is that you're looking at more realistically about 25 seconds per loop. So I would expect a decent hour of grinding will net you 250k and top out around 300k if you're very efficient/consistent. Still a great amount of xp without having to do much of anything, but 585000/hr I don't think is possible. I timed your run in the video and it's around 24 seconds, so I don't know how you're doing it in half the time (12 sec), which is what would be required to hit 585k. Not a diss, just feels a little baity.

Your videos are a life saver. I am in love with this game. I never felt this amount of joy and addictive in a game in awhile. I been playing way too much FPS PVP games over the years so, playing a good SP game is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work my man, you are the best 👌 🔥💪

Thanks so much for the tips !!!! Helps a lot

Thanks a ton for this video. Even if you aren't someone that has fancy schmancy load screens that just shoot through the bar in 1 second, I've done this for about an hour maybe less with little pauses to check my phone and I'm up like 110,000 runes. If you're wanting to hard sweat this, or are having issues getting it to work... It's very simple, just run down that hill, turn around and run around the boulder, wait for it to say +1952 THEN open your map and travel. Spam x as soon as you start to load in, and B as soon as you're on your horse and repeat

So glad I subscribed dude. I went from level 15 to 27 in a few minutes. Thanks.

Thank you so much for actually explaining how to get to this location. They tell you how to farm, but no one explains how to get there. I actually saw this portal early on but was too scared to travel it. Thank you again…You are the GOAT!

Thanks for this, there's another that I can't do since I don't have playstation + (no multiplayer), so this is a nice thing to see.

You're so dope for making this. Really helped alot. Hope they don't patch it soon

Okay took me a minute to actually figure out how to get it to work, it basically has to roll off to the right immediately. So stop and quick right turn. Thought it was patched but once you get the hang of it, it works well

For those like me who occasionally run off the edge of the cliff, stay calm, there are a few ways to still save this. 1:jump on purpose at the edge of the cliff while turning to double jump back onto solid ground. 2: if you’re lucky there is a small rock ledge that can slow your descent enough to still get the runes and if so, teleport back to the site of grace to save yourself.

Equip the “Gold Scarab” talisman and it adds 20% increase in runes dropped

Hey man, I just started playing elder ring this help me so much. Thank you.

Works beautifully. First few times didn't work because the ball hit the wall, but once I got timing down it's easy 1.9k every 30 seconds. Insane.

Don't forget the giant dragon you can kill for 76k runes with a bleed weapon. On the same area, just go up to the fort farium castle.

This is actually absurdly easy for beginning of the game. Or honestly no matter what level you’re at. Wow. Thanks for this video man.

I don't know if you've ever made a video about it, but I think Sellia Crystal Tunnel is a really good rune farming location. You have to fight 11 enemies, but the number of runes they give you will get you 3,676 runes every time you clear the room.

Also for that last boss, if you agro him and run back towards the end of the bridge close to the site of grace, theres a ledge on the right side that you get off your horse and can run on, boss will follow and then try and chop you which will lead to him falling off.

After avoiding the initial glowing ball for nearly 2K runes, keep going down the path. Another ball appears where the tree branch crosses the path. It will also grant nearly 2K runes if you dodge it correctly.

thanks so much i was doing a build and i died when trying to get my runes back and the build was kinda broken so this helped a lot 👍

Super helpful! Thank you!

Also impassable greatbridge at Caelid! All you need to do is trigger the enemies to fight each other and hangout at the grace

Thanks for the amazing tip! But actually it takes a little more time to do the farm. I timed it and it took me 22 seconds in PS5, so you can do it 3 times per minute, giving you about 312,960 runes in one hour.

Thank you! Amazingly concise walkthrough.

Thanks man I've been having so much trouble with getting runes

My sorcerer build uses the “old” farming location and I kill it. About 18-20 k per rest and I kill each guy in a few seconds

The building beside the farming method Grace in this video can be accessed by the horse jump by the cliff just aim towards the building and land on the roof with the balcony. There is a ball boss that spits out blue mist. That’s all he does, so he can’t hit you far away. I stood outside room during mist and went in for bite when clear. He is weak to physical attacks. I used Dragonmaw incantation to do it easier. It requires 16 faith to use all 3 incantations I found. Just range him to be safe. But if it’s magic it will take longer. I got my dragon abilities after doing the dragon kill that gets you 74k runes and 5 hearts. They can be bought for dragon hearts (1 heart each) at the Church of Dragon Communion. It’s an island South West of The First step. Go through Coastal Cave to reach island. Cave has boss. I suggest the Lone Wolf Ashes for boss. That’s how I personally did it. You all may find better ways or already have them! It awards a MEMORY STONE. For an extra memory slot.

I usually never thank you all for posting videos like this and I realized I probably should. So thank you, everything you said to do worked like a charm

Bro I just got the game was looking for ways to get more runes. Thanks you so much this helps a lot.

That's a nice grind, thank you 😊 If you're lazy and dont feel like doing all that traveling. That 1 giant right outside the third church of marika is easy to kill with range. I get about 85k runes a hour on my astrologer that only has 25 intellect. I do have the meteorite staff and the rock sling sorcery spell. The rock sling makes giants fall after 3 shots so theres no fight at all from range. Hope this helps anyone looking for something easy

thanks man, i love hearing good news

I’m trying to grind levels so I can pick up some weapons in the feature and this helps a lot thanks

This is bananas! I know what I'm doing today. Thanks Tag!

Have been farming for 5 minutes and already got 19000 runes. I'm going straight to lvl 30 thanks for the guide.

Still working this christmas🎉 Aweseome video dude.

I love you man! That’s working marvelously for me! I was killing those 5 giants to farm xp, but this is so much easier

It's not patched on PS5/PS4. All you need to do is: 1. The first time you do it, mounted, make sure to notice at what point on the map you saw the trap spawn. After it falls off the cliff, place a marker/message on your map. This will provide you with a clear point of reference on when to start turning around, while making the farm faster and safer. 2. The ball can somewhat follow you, so your objective is to turn around and away from it as fast as you're able to while mounted. 3. Lastly, and most importantly, to get credit you must turn back around to watch it go off the cliff. Do this by either jumping off the mount towards the ball (obviously not off the cliff) or ride back towards it. The reason is, you won't get credit if you're not close enough to see it go off the edge. The first two times I thought they had patched it but I tested this theory and it's been working. You'll be getting around 2000ish runes. 4. Port back and repeat.
