How to awaken the great runes

Before the Great Rune can do anything for you, you must first awaken it. However, as we mentioned before, the game itself won’t help you figure out how to do it. Here are all the steps you need to follow.

Step 1: Get a shiny rune. Obviously, you’ll need at least your first Great Rune in your possession before you can awaken any of them. If you just follow the main road elden ringyou will eventually get the first one after conquering Stormveil Castle.

Step 2: Find the Divine Tower. You would never know it, but there is a very specific place that you must visit to awaken your Great Rune. This Divine Tower is actually not far from Stormveil Castle. Looking at the map, follow the long broken bridge that leads from the castle to the northeast. At the end of that path is the Divine Tower.

Step 3: Open the main gate of Stormveil Castle. If you didn’t do it the first time, you’ll need to do it to access the bridge.

Step 4: Survive crossing the bridge. You can choose to run or fight across this bridge, but either way you’re in for a tough time. You will be facing three giant guards (hopefully not at once), with the last one having a huge bow that can easily kill you, even when fully healthy.

Step 5: Go to the teleporter. You may have noticed on the map that the bridge no longer fully connects to the Divine Tower. Fear not, because at the edge of the walkable part of the bridge, someone was thoughtful enough to leave a teleporter that will shoot you to the other side where the Site of Grace gives you a much-needed rest.

Step 6 – Take the elevator up to the tower. At the top, you’ll find a series of shrine-like altars and statues surrounding a massive bone in the center. Use the Great Rune on the statue to finally activate it.

How to use the great runes

Once activated, the Great Runes are also an item that you can equip for very powerful power-ups, but again, the way to do this is not as easy as it would be in another game. Here’s how to use these powerful items.

Step 1: After activating the Great Rune, visit the place of grace.

Step 2: choose great runes option and equip your Greater Rune of choice into its slot.

Step 3 – Use the rune bow. Simply casting a Great Rune will not give you any Great Rune benefit. In order to summon any power that the Great Rune grants you, you need to use a rare and valuable item called the Rune Bow. You can reliably buy them from a certain vendor in the Roundtable Hold for 4000 runes, or you can find them in the world and even occasionally as very rare drops from enemies.

Step 4 – Enjoy your gift while it lasts. After using your runic bow, the effect of your equipped great rune will remain active for as long as you can last without dying. Once you die, because it will happen, you will need to spend another runic bow if you want to get those bonuses back. It’s best to save them for challenging bosses where you know you can win if you have a bit more of an advantage.

Step 5: Second, without messing it up again, all you need to do is get to the final area with at least two large runes awakened for the gate to open. Otherwise, it will remain closed with little clue as to why.
