Elden Ring Guide: Top Rune Farming Spots and Obtaining the Golden Scarab Talisman
Early Game Rune Farming Spot
War Master’s Shack, Limgrave
1. Location: Start at the War Master’s Shack in Limgrave.
2. Route: Travel south to an area populated by five trolls.
3. Method: Each troll awards 1,000 runes. Defeat all five trolls to net 5,000 runes.
4. Repeat: After defeating the trolls, fast travel back to the War Master’s Shack and repeat the process.
Tips:
· As you level up and get stronger, this farm becomes easier.
· Don’t get discouraged if you struggle initially; it gets better with practice and upgrades.
Mid-Game Rune Farming Spot
Beastial Sanctum, Caelid
1. Location: Use the teleporter near the Third Church of Marika to reach the Beastial Sanctum.
2. Preparation: Grab the Site of Grace inside the Beastial Sanctum before starting your farm.
3. Route: Follow the route shown on the map to kill the vulgar militiamen. Each militiaman awards 1,094 runes.
4. Repeat: Each run should net you over 18,000 runes. Fast travel back to the Beastial Sanctum to repeat.
Obtaining the Golden Scarab Talisman
Abandoned Cave, Caelid
1. Location: Start at the Smoldering Wall Site of Grace in Caelid and head east until you find a canyon.
2. Access: Jump across the canyon to reach the cave on the other side.
3. Inside the Cave:
o Traverse the Scarlet Rot by jumping backwards through the lake, aiming for the abductor on the left.
o Continue jumping or walking to avoid a full dose of Scarlet Rot.
4. Tunnel: Run down the tunnel until you reach the boss room.
5. Boss Fight: Buff up and defeat the two Cleanrot Knights. If you’re around level 35 with an upgraded weapon, it should be manageable.
6. Reward: Obtain the Golden Scarab Talisman, which increases rune acquisition by 20%.
Tips:
· The beginning of the cave is challenging due to the Scarlet Rot.
· Use the jumping technique to minimize Rot exposure.
Late Game Rune Farming Spot
Grail, Fort Faroth
1. Location: Fort Faroth in Caelid.
2. Preparation: Equip any weapon with blood loss buildup to speed up the process.

o Attack Grail until it dies, yielding 50,000 runes.
o Immediately run back to the Fort Faroth Site of Grace to reset Grail.
4. Repeat: If you have the Golden Scarab Talisman equipped, you’ll receive 60,000 runes per kill.
Tips:
