Overview
An Elden Ring rune farming method utilizes the Sacred Relic Sword from the Elden Beast, whose Golden Wave ability deals around 2,000 area-of-effect holy damage to defeat grouped enemies in an underground location beneath Caelid.
Defeating the enemy cluster from a ledge and resting at a Site of Grace yields approximately 200,000 runes per minute or millions in 10 to 20 minutes, with efficiency enhanced by maximizing Dexterity and equipping the Sacred Scorpion Charm Talisman.
The underground area is accessed through a teleporter located in the northern snowy section of the map.
The rune economy becomes essentially obsolete due to the ease of this farming technique, rendering currency acquisition non-challenging.
Walking zombies on the island that inflict blood buildup damage are inefficient targets compared to the seated creatures.
