Elden Ring: How to Level Up

Because, unlike most other From Software games, the ability to spend Runes to level up your character is not available in the early Gravesites, it is not immediately obvious how to do so in Elden Ring. If you want to start leveling up your character, you must first go to a specific Site of Grace and chat with Melina, who will greet you there. You may then start using your Runes to level up your character, and to help you get started, we've listed which stats we think are the most necessary to level up first in Elden Ring in this tutorial.

How to Level Up in Elden Ring

Before you can start leveling up in Elden Ring, you must first unlock the ability to level up by visiting a specific Grace, which will be visited by Melina. A pair of them can be found to the left and right of the Gatefront Ruins, as well as the Gatefront Site of Grace, which is near where you started your trip.

Apart from teaching you how to level up, it also directs you to Castle Stormveil – when you're ready – and contains your first Map Fragment as well as the Whetstone Knife, which you'll need later. You will receive access to future Grace sites if you agree to Melina's assistance during the cutscene (even if you unintentionally deny her offer, you will have the opportunity to accept it again).

Additionally, when you accomplish this conversation, you will be able to call Torrent, which will allow you to unlock Elden Ring's horse, allowing you to move much more rapidly throughout the globe. After successfully completing your mission, returning to the Church of Elleh, where Renna the Witch should be waiting for you, is a satisfying endeavor. She can also give you the Spirit Calling Bell, which will allow you to summon spirit ashes to help you in combat if you so cheval.
