Congratulations, Tarnished! But that&#8217;s just the first step. These powerful artifacts require a little finesse to unlock their true potential. Let&#8217;s dive into how you actually equip these game-changing items and unleash their boons.<\/p>\n<p>The process of equipping a Great Rune in Elden Ring involves three crucial steps: <strong>restoring its power at a Divine Tower, equipping it at a Site of Grace, and then activating its effects with a Rune Arc.<\/strong> Failing to complete any of these steps will leave you rune-less and feeling less-than-great. Let&#8217;s break each step down in detail:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unlocking_the_Power_Restoring_Great_Runes_at_Divine_Towers\"><\/span>Unlocking the Power: Restoring Great Runes at Divine Towers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Locate_the_Divine_Tower\"><\/span>Step 1: Locate the Divine Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Each Great Rune is associated with a specific <strong>Divine Tower<\/strong>. You can find the location listed in the item description of the Great Rune itself, located in the Key Items tab. Don&#8217;t skip this crucial step; wandering aimlessly won&#8217;t get you anywhere.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Navigate_the_Tower\"><\/span>Step 2: Navigate the Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Divine Towers can be treacherous places filled with challenging enemies and tricky platforming. Be prepared for a fight or a parkour session, or possibly both! Patience is key.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Restore_the_Great_Rune\"><\/span>Step 3: Restore the Great Rune<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the very top of the Divine Tower, you&#8217;ll find a specific location\u2014usually near desiccated Fingers\u2014where you can interact with the Great Rune and restore its power. Once completed, the rune will become fully charged and usable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Equipping_the_Rune_Accessing_the_Great_Rune_Menu\"><\/span>Equipping the Rune: Accessing the Great Rune Menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Visit_a_Site_of_Grace\"><\/span>Step 1: Visit a Site of Grace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once your Great Rune is restored, rest at any <strong>Site of Grace<\/strong>. This will refresh your health and, more importantly, unlock the <strong>Great Runes menu option<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Choose_Your_Rune\"><\/span>Step 2: Choose Your Rune<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Select the &#8220;Great Runes&#8221; option from the Site of Grace menu. This will open a new screen where you can choose which restored Great Rune you want to equip. Select the desired rune; note that you only have one <strong>Great Rune slot<\/strong>, so choose wisely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activating_the_Effect_Using_Rune_Arcs\"><\/span>Activating the Effect: Using Rune Arcs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Locate_Rune_Arcs\"><\/span>Step 1: Locate Rune Arcs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Rune Arcs<\/strong> are consumable items that temporarily activate the effects of your equipped Great Rune. They can be found throughout the world as loot, purchased from certain merchants, or earned by defeating bosses in co-op.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Activate_the_Arc\"><\/span>Step 2: Activate the Arc<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Open your inventory, navigate to the tools tab (where your flasks are), and select a Rune Arc to use. The Great Rune\u2019s effect will now be active, boosting your character with whatever power you have chosen.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Stay_Alive\"><\/span>Step 3: Stay Alive!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The effects of the Rune Arc and the Great Rune will remain active <strong>until you die<\/strong>. So, fight hard and avoid those &#8220;You Died&#8221; screens if you want to keep your boosted stats! Using another Rune Arc will re-activate your Great Rune.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it! You are now effectively using a Great Rune! Now let\u2019s answer some questions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs_about_Great_Runes\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Great Runes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_are_Great_Runes_exactly\"><\/span>1. What are Great Runes, exactly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Great Runes are powerful artifacts dropped by the major bosses (Shardbearers) in Elden Ring. They offer significant <strong>buffs and stat boosts<\/strong> when equipped and activated, substantially increasing your character&#8217;s power.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_do_I_get_my_first_Great_Rune\"><\/span>2. How do I get my first Great Rune?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first Great Rune you&#8217;re likely to acquire is <strong>Godrick&#8217;s Great Rune<\/strong>, obtained by defeating Godrick the Grafted in Stormveil Castle.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Can_I_equip_multiple_Great_Runes_at_once\"><\/span>3. Can I equip multiple Great Runes at once?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, no. Elden Ring only allows you to equip <strong>one Great Rune at a time<\/strong>. Choose strategically based on your build and current needs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Why_cant_I_activate_Godricks_Great_Rune_after_defeating_him\"><\/span>4. Why can&#8217;t I activate Godrick&#8217;s Great Rune after defeating him?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You must first <strong>restore its power<\/strong> by visiting the <strong>Divine Tower of Limgrave<\/strong>. The door to this tower will unlock after defeating Godrick. Ascend the tower to restore the rune.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_long_does_a_Rune_Arcs_effect_last\"><\/span>5. How long does a Rune Arc&#8217;s effect last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The effect of a <strong>Rune Arc<\/strong> lasts until you die. Once you are defeated, the buff disappears, and you must use another Rune Arc to reactivate the Great Rune&#8217;s power.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Where_can_I_find_Rune_Arcs\"><\/span>6. Where can I find Rune Arcs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rune Arcs can be found in various locations:<br \/>\n    *   As <strong>loot<\/strong> from chests and defeated enemies.<br \/>\n    *   Purchased from <strong>certain merchants<\/strong>.<br \/>\n    *   Earned by successfully <strong>assisting other players<\/strong> in defeating bosses in co-op multiplayer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Which_Great_Rune_is_considered_the_%E2%80%9Cbest%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>7. Which Great Rune is considered the &#8220;best&#8221;?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s no single &#8220;best&#8221; Great Rune. The optimal choice depends on your <strong>build and playstyle<\/strong>. Godrick&#8217;s Great Rune (increases all stats), Morgott&#8217;s Great Rune (grants a significant HP boost), and Malenia&#8217;s Great Rune (allows you to regain health when attacking after taking damage) are all popular choices.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Do_Great_Runes_have_a_permanent_effect\"><\/span>8. Do Great Runes have a permanent effect?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, Great Runes do not have a permanent effect on their own. You must <strong>activate them with a Rune Arc<\/strong>, and the effect only lasts until you die.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_How_do_I_know_which_Divine_Tower_to_go_to_for_each_Great_Rune\"><\/span>9. How do I know which Divine Tower to go to for each Great Rune?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>item description<\/strong> of each Great Rune lists the specific Divine Tower required to restore its power. Always check the description to avoid unnecessary travel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_What_happens_if_I_switch_Great_Runes\"><\/span>10. What happens if I switch Great Runes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you switch Great Runes, the current active effect will cease. You will need to use another <strong>Rune Arc<\/strong> to activate the new Great Rune&#8217;s effect.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Can_I_use_a_Great_Rune_in_co-op_multiplayer\"><\/span>11. Can I use a Great Rune in co-op multiplayer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can use a Great Rune in co-op multiplayer. The effects will apply to you as the host, offering boosted stats while exploring or fighting bosses together.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Do_Rune_Arcs_provide_any_benefit_on_their_own_without_a_Great_Rune_equipped\"><\/span>12. Do Rune Arcs provide any benefit on their own without a Great Rune equipped?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, <strong>Rune Arcs only function when a Great Rune is equipped<\/strong>. They are the key to unlocking the potential of the rune, but are useless without one.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_What_if_I_accidentally_use_a_Rune_Arc_before_restoring_a_Great_Rune\"><\/span>13. What if I accidentally use a Rune Arc before restoring a Great Rune?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Using a Rune Arc without a Great Rune equipped is essentially a waste of the item. You won&#8217;t receive any buffs or effects. Save your Rune Arcs for when you have a restored Great Rune ready to go.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Are_Great_Runes_from_Remembrances_different\"><\/span>14. Are Great Runes from Remembrances different?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, Great Runes obtained from Remembrances function the same way as those dropped directly by bosses. The Remembrance allows you to duplicate the Great Rune.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Where_can_I_learn_more_about_the_design_and_educational_potential_of_games_like_Elden_Ring\"><\/span>15.
