Elden Ring Progression Route – How To Get OP Early?
Here is the best starting path in Elden Ring to get OP early.
Edlen Ring gives you the freedom of finding your own path and unraveling the story yourself. But there are areas you are better off avoiding in the beginning especially if you are low level. For example, going East from your starting location in Limgrave is a no-no, if you don’t want to make your game difficult right from the beginning. On the opposite spectrum of things, there is a specific path you can follow to get powerful right in the beginning. So today we will look at what we believe is the best starting path/progression route in Elden Ring to get OP early.
Elden Ring Progression Route
To get OP early in Elden Ring you need to follow a specific Game Progress Route to get +4 Weapon, tons of runes, double healing, powerful spirit companion, improved armor, and unlock all important in-game features early. All of these can be done without even killing a single enemy as per the path curated by YouTube channel Boomstick Gaming. We used the path suggested by him, and we can vouch that his video works 100%.
We will break down the locations with what you earn from each of the locations and also provide screenshots of the game progress path for your convenience here. But please make sure to check out the original video we have linked here too. It’s visible that Boomstick Gaming has put lots of effort into finding the best route possible. So let’s check the path below:
First, avoid the “Tree Sentinal” boss and sneak past him
Now go towards the “Church of Elleh”
Pick up “Golden Runes” from outside the church
Go inside, and pick up the “Smithing Stone”
Now touch the “Lost Grace Site”
Now go follow the North-East road
You will see a soldier with a torch patrolling this road
Keep going along the road to reach “Gatefront Ruins”
From the big pillar in the location, collect the “Limgrave,West” Map
Now go to the southeast and rest at the “Agheel Lake North” site of grace
A cutscene will start now with Melina
You need to discover 3 Sites of Grace to get this cutscene
Now select “Increase amount replenished by flasks”
Use the Sacred Tear you just found
Consume all the Runes items
You will have over 10K+ runes now
Go to the “Smithing Master Hewg” (blacksmith)
Use all the Smithing Stone to improve your weapon to level 4
Now interact with “Twin Maiden Husks”
Buy all the items they have for sale
This includes “Lone Wolf Ashes”, “Spirit Calling Bell”, “White Cipher Ring” & “Blue Cipher Ring”
Open inventory and use “White Cipher Ring”
Now a hunter will automatically come to your aid if you are invaded
Talk with both Roderika & Blacksmith, back to back
Then load the map again by traveling back to the Roundtable Hold
You will get Roderika as your Spirit Tuner now
She can now level up your summons
Fast travel back to “Stornhill Shack” site of grace
Collect “Golden Seed” from the location where Roderika was sitting
Use that to increase your 6 flasks to +2
Fast travel back to “Churchof Elleh” on the map
Buy the armor from the seller there
Use the site of grace to level up your character with all runes you have left
Now finally you have an OP character without killing a single enemy in the game
