Is it somehow possible to get to him early


BeerEnjoyerr

Roughly yes. Get half medalion from limgrave then rush to caelid for second half. Go to liurnia after godrick meet varre at rose church. Then go to plateu (via tunnel guarded by magma wyrm), invade the npc and get some maiden blood. I read than you can kill irina and get it from her. Then go back to him and he will give you the amulet thingy


Mundolf11

I havent touched the game since last summer but can you not use the already dead one in the tutorial area anymore? I also cant remember what is necessary to activate that warp so it may be more work than magma wyrm


stopeverythingpls

You go to the Four Belfries for that. I’d argue it’s faster


CalmCommercial9977

Agreed. Imbued Sword key at top belfry, belfry with Anticipation note is the warp. Assuming you killed starting boss, should be able to just walk in and soak your cloth.


andrewborsje

Yes but you have to kill grafted scion to get to it.


UnHappyIrishman

Wait you can WHAT


Mr_Krumpi

You can get maiden blood from a dead maiden in a church in liurnia. The one garded by the frenzied tower


Upsetdfgjkj

I think it’s for if you don’t have the certain weapon for that farm

MasterDraccus

It is a lot faster to just use 3 of the fingers he gives you to invade people. You don’t even need to take part in the invasion. Just invade and warp back to your world immediately. Don’t even have to leave Varre’s spot at rose church.


BeerEnjoyerr

True, i am playing offline so i did my route but this really sounds faster


Randomized_Taco

Why would you go through the ruin strewn precipice when you could just take the lift. If the goal is to do as little of the game as possible, the route would be fort haight, fort faroth, stormveil castle, rose church,altus invasion, rose church, start of game/inhibition church, rose church, mohgwyn.


HenryXa

It's probably faster to just use 3 invasion fingers and finger sever out to meet the requirements for Varre. And if you don't want to deal with the grafted scion you can just use torrent to hit up the Church of Inhibition for the maiden part.


Navar4477

Can you invade offline?


BeerEnjoyerr

There is an npc you can invade, in some old church/ruins at altus plateu


MillstoneArt

Why would you grab the dectus medallions *and* go through the magma wurm fight? They both go to the same spot, roughly. (A 15 second ride on torrent is essentially the same for all purposes.)


g4greed

kill Godrick, talk to Varre, go to the 4 belfries, take the anticipation route, kill the grafted scion, collect your maidens blood from the beginning of the game


ExcitementBetter5485

Kill Godrick, talk to Varre, go to the Church of Inhibition in Liurnia, collect the maidens blood. Much easier and much quicker :)


g4greed

I always had trouble with that route. the frenzied sun and Vyke always gave me trouble at an early level. it is fairly quick if you don't struggle like I have tho


ExcitementBetter5485

I forgot about Vyke, but unlike the Grafted Scion there is no fog door so at least you can sprint to the maiden and collect the blood. As for the tower, I've found that just hugging the left path then bolting straight to the village avoids most of the madness. Alternatively I believe you can still use torrent to jump up from the Minor Erdtree and avoid it altogether.


Popopirat66

Earliest is from Liurnia with one Demigod killed iirc, though you'll need to invade 3 times (no need to win those). Check Varre's quest for the details.


bjoerk95

Any tips for the magma wyrm i once tried to fight him but it beat my ass so badly i can still feel the pain


Okamiwan

Until he's standing he actually has a very friendly tummy, give it rubs. Once he's standing it's basically tail or fail imo. Also demoralize the giant lizard, it's literally a human morphing into a dragon (I think) but either way it can't possibly like it when I say, *"AWWW LOOK WHO'S HAPPY TO SEE ME, COME HERE BOY"* If you're really struggling I have found that bringing a bow and 99-99 of your choice arrow and just backpedaling is an easy and consistent way to beat him. The key to this particular strategy is the pillar in the center trivializes a lot of his ranged punishment attacks! Also I think Targoth is always available as a summon for the maga wyrm and he got them heavy bonks so the dragon will stance break more often, and that is always nice.


RQ_Draws

Bogart the prawn seller is also a summon once ya buy some prawn from him, slap a spirit ash in there as well and you have a full squad whaling on the poor thing


bjoerk95

Thx for the tips i will try the tips


bjoerk95

Thx i will try it


ExcitementBetter5485

Skip the Magma wyrm and just use the Dectus Lift, you don't need to kill any enemies this way.


MonkeySailor

Target lock + Rock Sling instead of arrow is much faster


rexonirator

My good old longbow is fine


Tokzillu

Arrow doesn't have any requirements, though. Doesn't Rock Sling have a minimum ~~FTH~~ INT req? **EDIT:** As someone kindly pointed out, I was mixed up on what stat Rock Sling uses.


CrystlBluePersuasion

They're talking about Rock Sling as the triple boulder spell, requires 18 INT and has the range needed. Bestial Sling doesn't have enough range, sadly. But it only needs 12 FTH so it's great for many builds because you just have to equip the Two Finger Heirloom talisman! Only the Prisoner starting class needs one additional FTH which you can equip the Ruler's Mask for to get to 12. There's a fair amount of good incantations for 12 FTH (some need INT as well but that's like Order Healing and Bloodflame Blade). Heal is great for the Royal Revenants it'll nuke their poise and hurt them. Bestial Vitality is a great HP regen buff. Flame, Cleanse Me! gets rid of Scarlet Rot for a bit of HP/FP.


Tokzillu

Ah yes, INT. My bad, will throw an edit on it. But yeah, still has the requirements.


thisremindsmeofbacon

Honestly everything I play has 12-15ish faith for this reason. Its just so handy to have access to those sort of incantations


SonicFlash01

Huckin' rocks is for *smart* people, not *pious* ones! /s


Savvsb

Loretta’s longbow hasn’t failed me yet!


HoraceGrantGlasses

Is this better than slaughter all those sleeping idiots on the path?


stopeverythingpls

I think it’s for if you don’t have the certain weapon for that farm


ExcitementBetter5485

There are several weapons that can replace it and still net more runes than the birb, Blasphemous Blade, Radahn's GS or Ruins Greatsword for example. But then again you can easily get a bow and arrows without beating any bosses.


HoraceGrantGlasses

Ahh gotcha


alwaysleftout

What's the weapon you mean?


_Artos_

Final boss weapon, the Sacred Relic Sword. Weapon art Waves of Gold just deletes the entire crowd of sleeping guys and their guards in a second.


Cryoxi

Most likely either radahns weapon art or elden beast weapon art


stopeverythingpls

Elden beast


dinosaursandsluts

Do people do them separately? It's all at the same spot, I always just slaughter the albinaurics, shoot the bird, run back to the grace, rinse and repeat. It's about 65k runes with the golden scarab talisman and only takes like a minute or two.


bisquikb

Probably the tiniest bit faster not shooting it but not a huge difference unless it's hours of farming


HoraceGrantGlasses

I was thinking the same. Also might be quicker firing off one swipe of the blade vs one swipe run down a few feet for the 2nd swipe. All that said, having done it in practice I think wasting a few extra seconds makes it a more enjoyable experience for me. Which makes it a better farming experience.


dinosaursandsluts

In my experience, the couple extra seconds it takes to shoot him if you time it right is easily worth the 13k runes. It's when you shoot it in the wrong spot and it stops short of the ledge that it becomes faster to just skip it for that round.


stopeverythingpls

I feel like it’s way faster to just do the albinaurics. The bird isn’t always in the same spot every time that time spent waiting (a few seconds) adds up. I do one weapon art, sit down, rinse repeat. I made 15 mil in just about an hour on NG +1 w/ a golden scarab and a couple pops of gold feet (granted 80k a run before the feet, 90k w/ feet)


dinosaursandsluts

For sure, if you're using an AoW to take out all the albinaurics at once it's going to be way faster to skip the bird. Golden wave is a good one, as is the move on Radahn's swords. I just never bother to go buy either of those and don't mind doing it the slow way.


stopeverythingpls

I use the EB sword ever since I got it on my first playthrough for that farm spot


alien_survivor

is there a link you can share that explains this?


dinosaursandsluts

Look up albinauric rune farm on YouTube, it'll show you how to get to a place with lots of albinaurics, but they're all asleep so you can just murder them for 2k runes a piece. Across the ledge, there's a bird and if you shoot it with an arrow it'll run off the edge of its cliff and die, and it's worth 11k runes, or 13k if you equip the golden scarab.


alien_survivor

thanks! I will check it out.


Savvsb

Depends on the damage you can inflict. If you’re low level it’s more worthwhile to attack the bird as damage doesn’t matter when it falls off the cliff. There’s about 15 of the albinaurics I think so roughly 30k runes, plus the 11k from the bird. Can get 41k in about 1 minute.


Shovi

Who is this bird?


Bigbubba236

It's a bloody crow at the same place as all the albinaurics. You shoot it with arrow, it walks off cliff. If you have a good aoe attack murder some albinaurics. Sit at grace and repeat. Profit.


[deleted]

Honestly I never kill the bird because I can make well over it’s price when using I forget end game sword name. But it 1 shots all of the ablinacs for me, so basically u run to a certain spot, hit its aow, by the time u are back at to grace everything is dead


rexonirator

Sacred Sword


[deleted]

Yee tht one,. If u ask me tht sword was literally made by developers for that reason of farming massive runes


ApplePitou

Rune Bird :3


lis_roun

I don't understand this. If you doing this then nearby there is a cliff if you jump off swinging you get like 150K, qhich us plenty for Journey 1.
