Summary
Elden Ring Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC fans have found an extremely powerful use for Spritestones, which involves using them near enemies who are standing close to the edge so that they get knocked off upon explosion. Spritestone is an item that was introduced as part of theElden Ring Shadow of the ErdtreeDLC update, and many players aren’t even aware of its existence, since it is not really a particularly important item in the game.
Elden Ringfeatures a plethora of items, and a lot of them go unnoticed by the players at times. The community often comes up with unique ways to use these items. For instance, anElden Ringplayer found a handy trick involving Glass Shards, which was considered one of the most useless items in the game. TheShadow of the ErdtreeDLC also features a number of such items that many deem unnecessary, but a fan has found an extremely overpowered use for Spritestones in the game.
In a new post on theElden Ringsubreddit, Esbidee reveals aclever strategy in theElden RingShadow of the ErdtreeDLCinvolving Spritestones. The video showcases the player sneaking up to an enemy who is standing near the edge and then using the Spritestone. Initially, the opponent seems a bit confused seeing the Spritestone and eventually, they turn their focus towards the player. However, at that point, the Spritestone explodes, and the opponent falls off the edge.
How To Get Spritestones in Elden Ring
That’s not all; there is another trick related to Spritestones which many are unaware of. Apparently, one can manually explode Spritestones if they use aBondstone. As far as finding a Spritestone is concerned, players first will need to get theAntiquity Scholar’s Cookbook inElden Ring, and then craft it usingRauh Burrow,Spirit Calculus, andBeast Horn. It scales off Arcane, Intelligence, and Faith, with Arcane having the most priority in scaling, so players should focus on that if they want to maximize the damage.
Over on Reddit, fans have been quite impressed with the trick, with many even stating that they didn’t even know about the item. In fact, some players stated that they had never seen theSpritestoneprojectile in the game before, and if something similar happened to them, they would panic-roll into a similar situation. Another fan hilariously noted that this was something thatElden Ring’sPatcheswould do, as he is well-known for sly tactics.
