Summary
Rune farming has consistently been one of the best ways to level up quickly inElden Ring, and some of themostpopular rune farming locationshave been exploited by playerslooking to stack their builds before facing off against some of the more difficult bosses in the game. Repeatedly defeating low-level enemies to better a player’s stats requires quite a bit of grinding, and for those who are hoping to explore everything the open-world RPG has to offer, it can get a bit tedious. But outsourcing that work may be the right move.
Reddit userNeneaMuddleshared a quick clip in the game’s subreddit of their child parked in front of the TV with a PlayStation 5 controller in hand. On the screen, what appears to be the OP’s character is swinging a fire blade atMohgwyn Palacea particularly popular spot players have flocked to when they want to quickly earn thousands of runes. The caption over the video reads: “POV: Have your kid farm runes for you.“This method kills two birds with one stone,leveling up quickly while forming core memories with a child.
Individual results may vary, depending on how interested the child is in video games (or how disturbed they are by some of themore unsettling enemiesplayers can encounter) — but this seems to be a method plenty of players have used to quickly earn runes without dumping the extra hours into the game. “I remember when my dad didn’t want me playing video games because it [was] a waste of time,” Redditor trangthemang commented. “My how the tables have turned.I don’t want to waste my time farming so I make my son do it.”

Rune Farming At Mohgwyn Palace Is A Great Way To Level Up Fast
How To Rune Farm At Mohgwyn Palace
When approachingMohgwyn Palace, it may seem tempting to go right for the Monstrous Crow and face off against it repeatedly to get the most runes. This avenue is one way to approach rune farming, but players don’t actually have to tackle the decrepit bird to farm runes. Right next to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace, there should be a collection of Albinaurics puttering around.Each Albinauric drops 2,000 runes when killed, making them an effective alternative for those looking for a time-efficient way to level up fast.
Elden Ring: Every Way To Reach Mohgwyn Palace
Mohgwyn Palace is a secret late-game area in Elden Ring with more than one way to get there, one early on through a questline, and another later on.
Those who want to tackle the bird, though, can do so by equipping a bow and a lot of arrows. Go to the cliff on the west side near the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace and shoot an arrow at the bird.It should run toward the player and fall off the cliff,granting 11,000 runes. Return to the site of grace to respawn the bird (or the Albinaurics nearby) as many times as needed to get the desired number of runes.
Considering NeneaMuddle’s child doesn’t have a bow and arrow in hand, it’s likely they’re repeatedly killing the Albinaurics near that site of grace instead of going after the bird — though their determination is impressive if they’re actually going toe-to-toe with the scary-lookingElden Ringenemy.
