The key to any good Soulslike is gaining power, and knowing how to level up in Elden Ring is one of the things you’re going to want to be certain of when jumping into this massive game. Every FromSoftware game has its own way of doing things, and figuring it out as early as you can will allow you to make sure you don’t accidentally waste any time.
Because we want to make sure you can get overwhelmingly strong as early on as possible, we’re going to detail everything you need to do to level up in Elden Ring. We’ve even thrown in a couple of little bits of extra information so that you understand as much about the system as possible.
How to level up in Elden Ring
As is so often the case in FromSoftware games, if you want to level up in Elden Ring, you’ll need to earn the favour of a maiden. In Elden Ring’s case, you can do so by visiting three Sites of Grace, at which point sitting down will give you a cutscene that’ll introduce you to Melina. Melina is a fairly mysterious character, but she’ll allow you to exchange the runes you’ve been earning from beating up enemies for power.
Once you’ve met Melina, you can summon her at any Site of Grace you have access to. You can do so to talk in some special places too, which is a nice bonus for those who love the lore. Other than that though, you’ve now got the ability to level up just by accessing a Site of Grace, so make sure you do so.
We’d recommend making sure you actually put some points in your vigor stat in Elden Ring too, because armour can be hard to come by, and enemies can hit very hard. Other than that, you now know everything you need to know about how to level up in Elden Ring. So, go on now, go and get hench and save the world. Or whatever.
