Can you explain why you didn't to show the route not including the spawn, just you in a random location?
You do not need to go that full dangerous rooftop route, you can work your way across the roofs and drop down safely above the guys with the ballistas rather than go through the Knights and stuff. You don't even need to fight the guys on the roof before scaling the buildings as you can just jump over and they won't follow. This saves so much time, health and flasks for when you need them. You should really make a follow up to this video showing the proper route for that

you have to use a Rune Arc whenever you want to get the effects of the great rune (e.g. giga Buff until you die)

The easiest way is if you exit from Rampart Tower grace, head out, to the right, run-jump to the roof across and below, and then jump on to the small stone ledge to your forward left. Hug that ledge and keep going until you finally drop to the area around 1:51 in the video

Left out the entire path to ballistas and from there to the bridge dawg
This doesn't really show where the Key gate is... just a 5 second clip of sneaking in which could be anywhere in the castle 🥴
to anyone who is confused why they didn’t show the path the stone sword key area, it’s right next to where you go when you jump down from rampart tower, it’s right on the ground from the last jump

It's complicated. It's in the tower on the east of Liurnia : "Carian Study Hall", however, to be able to active the rune, you need to find the Carian Inverted Statue to drop on the pedestal in the entrance, to get that item, you need to give Ranni the Fingerslayer Blade, which is ...in Nokron, so much later into the game.

does the rune effect reset if you rest at a site of grace or if you fast travel also?
Skip all that roof stuff, ignore the ballistas, run past them lol
How many times did you die to knight starting at 1:55? Just run past him...
Best video about how to activate the great rune.
The best farm for rune arcs I've found is the mini boss near the village of albinaurics. Drop down your summon and kick his butt.

this video is wrong using rune arc doesn't make it stronger. It just activates it.
Confused as to why for option 1 you said to start the the Rampart Tower grace site and not the Stormveil Gate grace which just requires you to run around the corner to the Limgrave Tower Bridge. It’s a super short route and also doesn’t require a stonesword key
Thank you.
how does the gate open?
Anyone else stuck on like what to do like dark souls was pretty straight forward but I’m so confused in elden ring
Just show us the path😂 the only thing we want and he skips it…
When you get to the ballistas if you go to the front gate of the castle on the right there is a grace so then you don’t have to do this horrible run again.

Easiest grace (bonfire) to go from is the ‘lift side chamber’ - you can run straight out and to the end, then left, keep running down (roll at the bottom so you can get smashed with arrows) and then bank left to get the new site of grace in the video. Then follow the video from there 👍
Incredible
damn can you do this if you used the rune for runes ?
Does this actually do anything? It doesnt change my states at all

Killing a boss as a coop player will give you an arc every time as well.
Someon oughta pin this, just go to Ramparts, down small lift in the corner, through room with 7 armed monster you killed and the huge painting of Godrick, make left to enter the courtyard with all the soldiers and big bows aimed at the door and 1 troll. From there look for the outside narrowish stairs that lead down to an archway and out the gate. Get past the lion and the entrance is on the left. Can’t miss it.
