FromSoftware has supported Elden Ring with regular updates since launching the game earlier this year. These updates have added new quest phases and NPCs to the game, but they have mostly focused on squashing bugs and addressing balancing problems. FromSoftware just recently released Elden Ring update 1.05, which fixes a number of lingering issues with the game. For anyone worried that it may have altered the game's best rune farming spot, it doesn't appear to be the case.
For the uninitiated, the best Elden Ring rune farming spot is located in Mohgwyn Palace at the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace. This Site of Grace features a bunch of enemies in one location that can be easily killed very fast, allowing players to farm them whenever they need a rune boost. To make this area even more effective for rune farming, Elden Ring players can also shoot at a bird-like enemy located across the canyon, tricking it into running off a cliff to its death.
Using these methods, Elden Ring players can farm 5 million runes in one hour, which is hugely helpful whenever they need to upgrade their gear or level up any of their skills. Considering how easy it is to abuse this spot for easy runes, some fans have been expecting FromSoftware to change it with one of the updates, either by nerfing the number of runes that players get for each run or by making it so the bird enemy no longer falls off the cliff.
However, it seems as though FromSoftware has no intention of changing the best Elden Ring rune farming spot, as it still works after update 1.05. Elden Ring players simply need to head to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace and farm away. It's always possible it will be nerfed or altered in a future update, however, so Elden Ring players should keep that in mind.
Elden Ring update 1.05 didn't bother changing the best rune farming spot, but it did take away one of the methods players have used to cheese certain bosses in the game. Prior to update 1.05, Elden Ring players could find ways to attack certain bosses before actually going through their fog gates. This essentially allowed players to cheat and beat bosses without ever really fighting them, but this has been addressed in the latest update. Now Elden Ring players will have to fight the game's bosses fair and square, or at least come up with another method to cheese them.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
