Landmark Prioritization Strategy: Planning Your Route
Day One Priorities
Immediately open the map upon landing in Limveld.
Target the nearest boss landmark to gain initial rewards.
Plot your path to the next two closest landmarks, optimizing travel.
Seek out Great Churches along your route to upgrade Sacred Flasks early.
Aim for level 6–7 and 1-2 extra flasks before nightfall.
Avoid on Day One
Long detours for single difficult bosses.
Taking on Castles or Fortresses before level 5.
Using Spectral Hawks early unless confident — their linear movement can waste precious time.
Mid-Game Optimization
Use Fortresses to reveal Scarabs and Buried Treasure.
Focus on elemental loot that complements your build.
Prioritize visiting Smithing Tables to upgrade weapons and armor.
Late-Day Efficiency
Remember that boss progress carries over between days — you can finish fights later.
Skip bosses that are too time-consuming or frustrating.
Defeating the second night boss grants a free Sacred Flask—plan to capitalize on this.
Pro Tips for Efficient Landmark Runs
Always mark your next destination on the map for clear focus.
Run past unnecessary enemies—time is better spent on objectives.
Level up at every opportunity; don’t hoard Runes.
Don’t overcommit to a single boss if it’s draining too much time.
Sometimes, a quick detour to Elden Ring Runes buy a Great Church for a Flask upgrade beats chasing elusive rare weapons you can’t use yet.
