When you first arrive in the Lands Between, you will be informed that your character is "Maidenless'' and lacks the ability to seek the Elden Ring for yourself. You must locate your own maiden to level up with in order to gain power. Knowing how to level up your Elden Ring character is essential if you want to withstand some of the harder trials ahead, including Margit and Godrick in Castle Stormveil.

However, unlike past FromSoftware RPGs, Elden Ring does not allow you to level up from the start. Instead, you'll need to wander about Limgrave until you come across a specific NPC interaction.

How to level up in Elden Ring

Locating and resting at the first Site of Grace you come across will not allow you to level up, but it will allow you to heal your wounds. In reality, you'll need to rest at three different Sites of Grace scattered throughout the world to summon the maiden. This doesn't include the Sites of Grace in the Stranded Graveyard or any of the mini-dungeons in the Lands Between. Melina will appear once the player has rested at the third Site of Grace and offer to be your maiden which the player must accept in order to level up.

What does Melina offer in Elden Ring?

Melina will volunteer to be your maiden when you meet her and for those who accept her invitation, it will allow you to level up in Elden Ring. This will also allow you to summon your horse, Torrent. After accepting Melina's offer, you can choose Level Up when resting at any Site of Grace. She's also your only source of Roundtable Hold, and can be summoned to assist you in a specific boss fight later on.

How to use runes to level up in Elden Ring?

Elden Ring's leveling procedure is similar to that of previous FromSoftware games in that players must find a resting spot. However, no single person assists in the process, and there is no specific shrine that players must visit. Instead, gamers can complete the procedure at any lost grace place they have unlocked. This can also be accomplished via fast-traveling for a quick level increase.

Collecting Runes is essential for leveling up in Elden Ring, and they can be obtained in two methods. Players can either kill adversaries or utilize rune consumables to obtain a large number of them at once. It is, however, critical to keep a cache of runes on hand as should you die, the runes will be lost. Elden Ring does offer you a chance to get them back but fail and they will be lost forever.

How to level up:

  • Navigate to any unlocked lost grace spot on the map.

  • Interact with the grace site and select the choice to level up and gain more power.

  • Each following level will necessitate the collection and expenditure of more runes.

  • Players can utilize the runes to improve stats like vigor, strength, and intelligence.

FAQs

Q. How many runes does it take to get to level 100 in Elden Ring?

A. The precise number of runes required to reach max level is almost 1.7 billion. Because the player earns five runes for each boar killed, the exact figure of boars the player would have to kill is 338,511,683.
