Yes, You Can Use Two Great Runes in Elden Ring

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

To provide a definitive answer upfront – yes, you can collect and equip two Great Runes in Elden Ring. However, only one Rune‘s effects can be active at any given time.

By obtaining multiple Runes and swapping between them, you can customize your build‘s bonuses. For example, equipping Godrick‘s Rune for a tough boss fight, then switching to Radahn‘s Rune for open world exploration.

Activating and Equipping Great Runes

Great Runes offer powerful buffs but require some effort to utilize:

  • Defeat demigod bosses and obtain their Great Runes
  • Restore each Rune‘s power at its associated Divine Tower
  • Equip Rune at Site of Grace to access its passive effects
  • Activate equipped Rune by consuming a rare Rune Arc item

Once activated with a Rune Arc, the Great Rune‘s effects will remain active until your next death.

Utilizing Multiple Great Runes for Custom Builds

Having access to two Runes‘ effects lets you tailor bonuses to your playstyle:

  • Godrick‘s Rune for boosts to HP, stamina, and mana before boss fights
  • Radahn‘s for equip load to handle heavier armor while exploring
  • Morgott‘s for major HP increases in late game content
  • Switch between them when resting at Sites of Grace

Mixing and matching Runes takes some extra effort but offers varied bonuses hard to achieve otherwise.

Ranking of Best Great Runes

Based on gameplay impact, these are the top Great Runes worth obtaining:

1. Godrick‘s Great RuneAll-around stat increases
2. Morgott‘s Great Rune25% health boost
3. Radahn‘s Great RuneIncreases equip load for heavy armor

Expert Tips for Utilizing Multiple Great Runes

As an passionate Elden Ring player with over 100 hours of experience, I‘ve identified some key tips for effectively leveraging two Great Runes:

  • Have at least 5 Rune Arcs before activating a Rune to account for deaths
  • Timing swaps for new areas/bosses to match Rune effects
  • Combine a defense Rune with an offense Rune for balance
  • Record Site of Grace locations to easily return for swapping

Proper Rune management takes time but is extremely rewarding. These tips will help maximize their powerful benefits.

The Future of Great Runes in Elden Ring

FromSoftware has already added new content to Elden Ring through patches, so we can expect more Great Runes or Rune-related features in future DLC expansions.

Potential updates could include:

  • New demigod Runes with unique effects
  • Ability to activate 2-3 Runes simultaneously
  • Expanded Rune customization options
  • Enhanced/Overpowered Runes only available in NG+ cycles

As an avid fan, I‘m excited to see how Runes and character builds evolve over time!
