Spoilers for the general location name are following, as spoiler-free as possible
You're at the correct spot if you're wondering how to respec in Elden Ring. Please take notice of a few minor spoilers, such as the place names of the early zones; character proper names have been deleted. Not even the area is connected to the header picture.
Here is a sample entrance screen buffer in general!
In order to respec in Elden Ring, you must defeat the second “main” boss.
Since I don't have to provide the character's name, this one is quite simple to hide. The first "major" region and tale boss location is Stormveil Castle, which you will traverse. After completing the zone, you'll probably go to Liurnia of the Lakes.
That's where the enormous academy is located. Once they are vanquished, the boss in that region is the NPC that lets you respec. Here, Jordan leads you through every step of the procedure and shows you how to enter.
After that, you may respec by speaking with the boss NPC, but you'll require an item
.Talk to the NPC to regain respect. Keep in mind that there are two main caveats:
- You need the “larval tear” item (which can be found on the “key items” [key icon] section of your inventory), which is consumed when used. At endgame, I had 10 larval tears, so note that even during one playthrough, they are somewhat plentiful (depending on how many you discover)
- When you respec, you can’t lower your stats below the base numerical values of your starting class. In that sense, your starting class does matter somewhat.
You may locate it near the academy if you wish to get your first larval tear
.Exactly on the southwest corner of the Lakes' Liurnia "Village of the Albinaurics" is the name of the location located in . It is in a biome resembling a marsh.
Proceed across the marsh and up the hill; the bonfire checkpoint is easily located in the first row of buildings. Get it first in case you encounter any difficulties, then immediately turn around and depart using the same route.Just before the bridge, at the graves/tombs closest to the hill, there is a laparval tear.
Congratulations! You now have the option to respec once.
