What to Do After Beating Godrick

Stormveil is done. This route turns Godrick's Great Rune into real progress: Liurnia exploration, Rennala respec, upgrade targets, and optional side paths.

What to do after beating Godrick Elden Ring progression guide cover

1. Activate Godrick's Great Rune

  1. Take the Divine Tower of Limgrave route linked from Stormveil.
  2. Activate the Great Rune at the tower.
  3. Spend a Rune Arc at a Site of Grace when you want the temporary buff for hard fights.
  4. Full rules and later runes: Great Runes guide.

2. Head Into Liurnia

  • Exit Stormveil north toward Liurnia of the Lakes.
  • Grab the Liurnia map fragments on the main roads before deep lake diving.
  • Keep collecting Golden Seeds / Sacred Tears so flasks stay ahead of tougher enemies.

3. Push Toward Rennala (Respec Unlock)

Your best mid-game milestone is Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. Beating her unlocks attribute respecs with Larval Tears — see the respec guide if your starting class no longer matches your weapon.

  • Explore Academy Gate Town and the lakeside ruins for levels.
  • Bring your main weapon to about +8 to +12 (or +3 to +5 somber).
  • Use spirit ashes freely; Liurnia bosses punish under-summoned players.

Recommended Power Targets

GoalTarget
Level after Godrick~40–60 before deep Academy pushes
Weapon upgrade+8 to +12 regular / +3 to +5 somber
VigorKeep climbing toward 30–40
Spirit ashUpgrade one ash instead of spreading Gloveworts

Optional Detours (Worth It)

  • Weeping Peninsula leftovers: flasks, stones, and easy bosses if you skipped them.
  • Early Caelid edge: dangerous, but useful for runes and later Radahn prep.
  • Build focus: lock a direction with bleed, strength, or faith once you can respec.
