U4GM - 7 Best Late-Game Spots to Farm Elden Ring Runes Efficiently
Farming runes in the late game of Elden Ring becomes crucial if you want to perfect your build, experiment with new weapons, or just level up to survive the brutal endgame bosses. Fortunately, the Lands Between is filled with high-yield rune farming spots once you’ve unlocked most regions. Below, we’ve rounded up 7 of the most efficient late-game farming locations, perfect for Tarnished looking to stock up before the final battles.
1. Mohgwyn Palace – Albinauric Blood Pool
One of the most famous rune farming spots in Elden Ring, this area is packed with passive Albinauric enemies that give over 2,000 runes each. With the Sacred Relic Sword from NG+ or by using AoE sorceries like Loretta’s Mastery, you can wipe them out quickly and repeatedly. The Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace makes it easy to reset the area.
Pro Tip: Use a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot or the Gold Scarab talisman to boost rune gain significantly. If you’re considering trying new weapons or builds, you can always buy Elden Ring Items to speed things up once you’ve farmed enough runes.
2. Haligtree – Elphael Inner Wall
This zone is brutal, but its enemies drop generous amounts of runes. The Cleanrot Knights and Haligtree Soldiers here can be tough, but they reward over 3,000 runes per kill. If you’re efficient with backstabs or strong AoE incantations, this becomes a prime farming area.
It’s also a good place to buy Elden Ring runes if you find yourself under-leveled when progressing through Miquella’s Haligtree.
3. Farum Azula – Beside the Great Bridge
In this crumbling sky fortress, high-level Beastmen and dragonkin enemies drop thousands of runes. There’s a tight group of knights and wolves just outside the Site of Grace that can be cleared quickly with ranged magic or heavy weapons.
This spot is perfect if you’re close to the game’s ending and want a consistent rune source without much risk. Don’t forget to resupply or consider services like U4GM to optimize your time if farming feels too repetitive.
4. Mountaintops of the Giants – Fire Giant Pre-Boss Area
Right before the Fire Giant’s boss arena, there are plenty of Fire Monks and wandering enemies with decent rune drops. These enemies can be pulled one by one, making it a safer grind. It’s not the flashiest farm, but it’s solid and reliable.
While prepping for the Fire Giant, farming here gives you a great opportunity to experiment with your loadout—especially if you’ve just bought Elden Ring Items to change your approach.
5. Ordina, Liturgical Town
Once you solve the town’s puzzle and unlock the Haligtree region, the spectral enemies here become accessible. Though slightly tougher than normal mobs, they give respectable rune yields. The tight layout of the town makes for efficient farming runs with minimal travel.
The spectral archers and spellcasters are vulnerable to stealth and quick burst damage, making them ideal targets for fast runs.
6. Consecrated Snowfield – Near Yelough Anix Tunnel
The Consecrated Snowfield is full of late-game enemies that drop high rune amounts, and the Yelough Anix area is no exception. There are multiple roaming foes including Death Rite Birds and Albinaurics that provide over 3,000–5,000 runes each.
To make the most of it, consider boosting your rune intake with farming talismans or rotating your farming between this and Mohgwyn Palace. You can also use U4GM services to skip tedious farming and directly buy Elden Ring runes when you're short on time.
7. Leyndell, Ashen Capital
After defeating Maliketh, Leyndell becomes the Ashen Capital, with tougher enemies and better rune rewards. Knights, spirit warriors, and perfumers all offer large rune drops in tight corridors. It’s a high-risk, high-reward area, but perfect if you’re confident in your build.
This is a great location to farm while exploring loot or gearing up after acquiring high-end gear. If you’re switching between multiple builds, farming here is ideal—or you can cut the grind and buy Elden Ring Items as needed.
Farming runes efficiently in the late game is all about knowing where to go and how to approach each zone. Whether you’re grinding manually or looking to speed things up through services like U4GM, these locations will help you max out your level and try everything Elden Ring has to offer. Just make sure you’re equipped for the fight—these enemies don’t go down easy.
