Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is pushing fans to their limits, with a slew of deadly new bosses to defeat that even the most hardened Soulslike veterans are struggling with. Because of this, you might have found yourself utilizing the power of the Great Runes for some extra buffs, and there's a great – if not slightly evil – way to farm for as many Rune Arcs as you need to get powered up for every major fight.
If you were unfamiliar, Great Runes are dropped by Elden Ring's Shardbearer bosses, like Godrick, Morgott, and Malenia, and when restored at a Divine Tower, you can equip one for some extra buffs which are activated when you consume a Rune Arc. Rune Arcs can be found in a bunch of places around the action RPG, but one sure-fire way to farm more is by helping another player defeat a boss, or by invading another player and defeating them. Shadow of the Erdtree has introduced a rather cruel new way to achieve the latter, and it's all thanks to those annoying Winter Lantern – or 'Untouchable' – enemies in the Abyssal Woods.
