Elden Ring players use old school Souls trick to save runes in boss fights

Elden Ring players are using an old school Dark Souls trick to save their Runes in difficult boss fights, so here’s how you can avoid any frustrating losses. 

Elden Ring is home to plenty of bloodthirsty bosses and while not all of them will prove difficult, there are some that can quickly make short work of under-leveled Tarnished. This is especially true if you happen to stumble across a mid to late-game foe. 

While it’s not impossible to beat the game’s bosses with upgraded characters and gear, it’s often best to return when you’re more prepared. However, this invariably means tucking tail and simply forfeiting your victory against the boss. 

Obviously, for those that have accumulated a large number of Runes, this can be extremely frustrating, especially if you planned on using them to level up your character. Fortunately, players have discovered that an old school Dark Souls trick enables players to avoid this frustration completely.
