Early Game Rune Farming — Stormgate Guide

Learn how to farm early game runes in Stormgate, Elden Ring. Discover strategies to bypass enemies and gather essential resources for your journey.

The Stormgate is a heavily guarded area in Elden Ring that serves as a gateway to the Stormhill region. While not a primary rune farming spot itself, understanding its layout and enemy placement can help players navigate it efficiently early in the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate the Stormgate on the north side of the Gatefront Ruins in Limgrave.
  2. 2
    Activate the nearby Site of Grace as a checkpoint.
  3. 3
    As you approach, a Troll will appear, and the path will be guarded by multiple soldiers and barricades.
  4. 4
    For players seeking to avoid combat, the Spectral Steed Whistle allows for a swift horseback ride past the enemies and barricades.
  5. 5
    A chariot can be found near the Gatefront Ruins exit, containing a chest with the Lordsworn's Greatsword.
Tips
  • The Stormgate itself is not an ideal location for sustained rune farming. Focus on clearing nearby areas like the Gatefront Ruins for more consistent gains.
  • Utilizing Torrent (the Spectral Steed) is highly recommended for quickly traversing the Stormgate and avoiding difficult early-game encounters.
  • The enemies here, such as Trolls and Soldiers, can drop valuable items like Lordsworn's Bolt, but their drop rates may not be efficient for early rune farming.
