Continue to the next open area where you will be confronted with another large army of soldiers. Like the courtyard, you must draw them out slowly and Elden Ring Runes be sure NOT to aggro the large lion enemy waiting around the corner. If you look to along the way, you'll be able observe the front gate as well as that final Spot of Grace from here However, you shouldn't be running towards it since there are a few more towers that are eager to wreak havoc on you. Instead , sneak up the wall on the right side so they'll never see you. then climb up onto their platform , and eliminate all the turret operators, in addition to looting the Smithing Stone [2] and Smithing Stone [1] on their platform.
Once all the soldiers are dead , you can take home all the items found at the gates ( Ballista Bolt x3, Golden Rune [1], and Golden Rune [2] ). Then, enter the hillside door adjacent to the front gate to find the Spot of Grace, a Golden Rune [5], and the mechanism for opening the gate. Through the door that is behind that Spot of Grace to find the commoner's simple garb.
Once we have the Spot of Grace activated we can then go back to fight against the mighty beast. The lion is powerful and agile , so it could be difficult to locate your place to attack it or recover. Your best bet is to throw up your shield and then wait for any of its arm-blade attacks, then get in one or two attacks during the recovery state. Don't attempt to buy Elden Ring Items punish the bites that are more swift or off-claw swings because they are often followed by another attack. It's sort of cheesy If you do fight with a lion on a nearby stairs, its strikes may go right over your head.
