Discover the best Intelligence builds for Stormgate in Elden Ring. Learn strategies, recommended gear, and spells to dominate the Stormgate area and beyond.
The Stormgate is a crucial choke point in Elden Ring, marking the transition into the Stormhill region. While not a boss fight itself, it's heavily guarded and presents an early-game challenge. This guide focuses on Intelligence-based approaches to overcoming this obstacle.
Walkthrough
- 1Locate the Stormgate north of the Gatefront Ruins in Limgrave. Activate the nearby Site of Grace.
- 2The path is guarded by a Troll and multiple soldiers, with barricades and a chariot adding to the danger.
- 3To bypass combat, use the Spectral Steed Whistle to quickly ride past enemies and barricades.
- 4A chest near the Gatefront Ruins chariot contains the Lordsworn's Greatsword, which can be useful for hybrid builds or if you need a physical weapon.
Tips
- Intelligence builds can utilize ranged spells to thin out the guards before approaching. Consider Glintstone Pebble or Glintstone Arc for early-game effectiveness.
- If you have the Spectral Steed Whistle, prioritize using Torrent to dash through the area, minimizing engagement.
- Be aware of the chariot's path if you choose to engage or use it for cover.
- While there are no specific Intelligence-boosting items directly at the Stormgate, ensure your Mind stat is sufficiently leveled to cast your spells multiple times.
