Today, I'm here to unveil the mystery of Mohgwyn Palace in Elden Ring post patch 1.10.1. I'm going to show you how to unlock this location and show you some of the rune farming there that still works. With the Shadow of Erdtree DLC coming soon, stocking up on runes will be crucial for what's coming! Without further ado, let's get started.
Unlock Mohgwyn Palace
First of all, if you don't have Mohgwyn Palace unlocked yet, there are 2 methods to get there.
Method 1
For the first method, head to the First Step Site of Grace. In front of you should be a NPC called White Mask Varre, and he'll just be standing there. Now, if he's not here, skip to the next step of this, and if you've killed him for whatever reason, skip to the second method.
After talking to him at the First Step, you need to kill Godrick the Grafted, then come back. Once you're back, a message will be left on the ground saying to meet him at the Rose Church. This church can find on the map in Liurnia of the Lakes. Once there, he should be waiting for you, and he'll have a quest for you.
You will have to have talked to the Two Fingers in the Roundtable Hold before doing this. When you talk to him and tell him that you think the Two Fingers didn't seem right, he should give you 5 Festering Bloody Fingers, which is an item used to invade other players. You will have to complete 3 different invasions for the next step.
After that, head back to Varre and ask him to anoint you. Go to the Four Belfries, and in one of the portals, you can head back to the tutorial area and find a dead maiden to soak your cloth in. After that, head back to Varre, give him the blood-soaked cloth, and he'll give you a Pureblood Knight's Medal, which is an item used to teleport to Mohgwyn Palace.
Method 2
Next, I'll proceed to detail an alternative route for those who eliminated Varre early in the game. In such a case, progressing through the main story is necessary until reaching the Consecrated Snowfield. Once the Snowfield region is accessible, fast travel to a specific grace point and set a waypoint at the edge. From there, embark on horseback toward the designated location.
During the journey, anticipate encounters with 2 invaders. The initial adversary poses minimal challenge, while the subsequent one may prove slightly more formidable. Dispatching these adversaries yields valuable rewards, including a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
Continuing along the path, a conspicuous giant log signals proximity to the Runebears. Progressing further reveals a portal marked with Bloodstains, serving as the gateway to Mohgwyn Palace.
Mohgwyn Palace Rune Farming
After arriving at the Mohgwyn Palace, we can finally start rune farming there. There are 2 Sites of Grace, one for the early game and one for the endgame.
Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance
Starting with the first one, we'll be heading down this mountain from the Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance Site of Grace. So head down this path and follow the way across the lake of blood and head behind the tree there. Behind it will be a giant rock wall, and you're going to have to climb it. It will take a few minutes doing it for the first time, but once you get it down, it'll be much easier.
Once you make it to the top, you want to head to the end of the map. But before you do this, I'd recommend putting on the Golden Scarab talisman if you have it, and also the Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot. These 2 will give you more Elden Ring Runes. Now you're going to double jump off the cliff, and keep swinging your sword until you get the runes, and this takes about a minute.
After this, you can get over 200,000 runes, making this rune farm one of the easiest and best in the Elden Ring. The only downside is that it's pretty time-consuming, so I'd only recommend doing this if you're early in the game.
Palace Approach Ledge Road
Let's move on to the next farm, which I'm betting a lot of you players know already, which has to do with the Sacred Relic Sword. This sword is only obtained after beating the Elden Beast, the final boss of the game, and using his Remembrance in the Roundtable Hold to get this item. You will also need a bow and arrow, but that's optional, and you will also have to level the sword up.
Now, what you're going to do is spawn at the Palace Approach Ledge Road Site of Grace. Once you're there, use your bow and shoot the Monstrous Crow on the other side of this area. Then, with the Sacred Relic Sword, charge the ability and use it in this spot so it hits almost all of the enemies.
This will give you over 37,000 runes in about 10 seconds, meaning doing this for only a minute will give you over 200,000 runes. And I highly recommend you doing this rune farming for endgame.
