Each shard bearer drops a powerful Great Rune for you to use.

Here’s where to go so you could actually use them.

It can be annoying to get a new one and then realize it’s not actually doing anything.

Starting from the Liftside Chamber, the path to the Divine Tower is southeast, towards the massive bridge.

After using the Rune Arc, the Great Rune will be active until you die or switch Great Runes.

Like a lot in Elden Ring, it’s a complicated, deliberately unclear process.

Before we dive in, understand thatthis guide contains spoilersrelated to mainline boss battles.

Head across the bridge until you find the teleport gate in the center of the path.

Here is where to find each Divine Tower.

This is likely the first Great Rune you will obtain in Elden Ring.

Go past these archers and to the left, taking the path toward the main entrance.

After defeating Rennala, speak with her to respec your character, as long as you have a Larval Tear.

Again, keep sprinting.

There is a lion enemy there, which won’t follow you into the building.

Head through the building and up the stairs to find the Limgrave Tower Bridge Site of Grace.

The Divine Tower of Caelid is where you can restore power to Radahn’s Great Rune.

The first two are equipped with axes, with the third one wielding a bow.

Here, you might enter the Divine Tower of Limgrave.

The door will only open if you have the unactivated Great Rune.

The elevator that leads to the first of the two bridges is located within the red circle.

Interact with it and it will activate Godrick’s Great Rune.

While activated, Godrick’s Great Rune gives +5 to all attributes.

Radahn can be challenged by navigating through Redmane Castle, located on a small island south of Caelid.

The Divine Tower of West Altus can be reached through the Sealed Tunnel.

There will be an enemy around the corner to the right.

After dispatching them, navigate across another stone arch, where you will find another ladder.

You will eventually come to the elevator room.

The first tunnel is hidden by an illusory wall, behind this chest.

There you will find Radahn’s Great Rune, which will now be activated.

Morgott’s Great Rune

Morgott’s Great Rune is obtained from defeating Morgott, the Omen King.

Morgott is found in the Altus Plateau, located in Leyndell, Royal Capital.

The Rose Church is where you can find Varre and complete his quest.

After obtaining Morgott’s Great Rune, you will need to head to theDivine Tower of East Altus.

Continue east through there, until you come to a spiral stone staircase.

At the top you will find an elevator.

The teleport gate to Mohg’s location is located on the cliffs edge.

Head up the elevator and head straight until you come to another building with an elevator.

Go to the other bridge and begin traveling across.

One wields a flaming ax and another wields a flaming sword.

Right next to the Divine Bridge is the teleport gate that takes you to the Isolated Divine Tower.

After defeating them, continue towards the Divine Tower.

There you will interact with the symbol on the roof, which will activate Morgott’s Great Rune.

Morgott’s Great Rune significantly boosts your health stat by about 25%.

The chest at the top of the Tower of Return will take you directly to the Divine Bridge.

Rykard’s Great Rune

Rykard’s Great Rune is obtained by defeating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy.

Rykard, who is located on Mt.

The other option is to speak with the people in Volcano Manor and join them.

After completing all three, Lady Tanith will give you the option to be teleported to the Audience Pathway.

After defeating Rykard, you will need to take his Great Rune to theDivine Tower of West Altus.

After that you will take an elevator down farther into the mine.

Through that door is a staircase blocked by some tree branches.

Drop off the platform down to the right and continue heading straight.

There are some stone cluster enemies that will explode if you get near them in this area.

Use them to navigate your way to the bottom of the hole.

Head through the opening and you will find yourself at the boss door for the dungeon.

The boss for the Sealed Tunnel is the Onyx Lord.

It is a tall looking enemy without any armor wielding a massive sword and gravity magic.

This enemy is found a few other places as just an elite mob.

Same as before, head inside the Divine Tower and take the elevator up.

While equipped and activated, Rykard’s Great Rune restores health whenever you kill an enemy.

Finding your way to Mohg is a bit complicated.

Mohg’s Great Rune when activated grants a blessing of blood to summons.

There are two ways to get to Mohg, who is located in an underground area beneath Caelid.

The first is to advance through White-Faced Varre’s NPC questline.

There, he will give you some Festering Bloody Fingers.

The closest location to do this is at the Church of Inhibition in the northeastern part of Liurnia.

Return to Varre and he will give you a reusable Bloody Finger.

Speak with him again and he will give you the Pureblood Knight’s Medal.

The second option is available after reaching the Grand Lift of Rold and using the Secret Haligtree Medallion.

It is found in Castle Sol after beating the boss there, Commander Niall.

Malenia’s Great Rune

Malenia’s Great Rune is acquired after defeating Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

This area can be accessed via a teleport gate after solving the puzzle in Ordina, Liturgical Town.

This is found in the north after using the secret medallion at the Grand Lift of Rold.

After defeating the Malenia, you will need to make your way to theIsolated Divine Tower.

This can be accessed from the Divine Bridge in Leyndell, Capital of Ash.

That chest will take you directly to the Divine Bridge.

From there you will see a golem sleeping on the ground.

Here, you might activate Malenia’s Great Rune.

Malenia’s Great Rune allows players to recover health lost to damage by attacking enemies.
