Looking to earn hundreds of thousands of Elden Ring Runes in just a few minutes? Whether you’re a new player or diving into New Game Plus, this powerful Elden Ring unlimited runes glitch can skyrocket your character’s progression. I’ve tested it personally on my first playthrough, and it’s easily the most efficient method to earn massive runes with minimal risk.

Step-by-Step: How to Unlock the Glitch Area

To begin, you’ll need access to Mohgwyn Palace, an endgame zone where this glitch takes place. Here’s how to get there:

1. Complete part of White-Faced Varre’s questline:

• Start at the First Step Site of Grace.
• Defeat Godrick the Grafted and visit the Roundtable Hold.
• Speak with the Finger Reader and exhaust her dialogue.
• Head to the Rose Church in Liurnia and talk to Varre.
• Choose “The Two Fingers didn’t seem right” and accept the Festering Bloody Fingers.
• 2. Invade three players using the Bloody Fingers (winning isn’t required).
• 3. Return to the Rose Church to be anointed as Varre’s knight. He’ll give you a cloth item.
• 4. Head to the Church of Inhibition and use the maiden’s blood to soak the cloth.
• 5. Go back to Varre, who will now give you a Pureblood Knight’s Medal – use it immediately to teleport to Mohgwyn Palace.

If you prefer not to rely on glitches or time-consuming farming methods, there are reliable alternatives to boost your rune count. Many seasoned players turn to trusted marketplaces like Elden Shop, where you can quickly and safely get the runes you need to level up, upgrade gear, and stay competitive in the Lands Between without the grind.

Pre-Glitch Setup (Recommended Items)

Before performing the rune glitch, gather the following:

• Gold Scarab: Located in the Abandoned Cave in Caelid, this talisman boosts rune gain by 20%.
• Golden Vow (or similar incantation): Found in the Corpse-Stench Shack. This spell must be one that requires charging and holding (alternatives include Blessing of the Erdtree or Golden Lightning Fortification).

How to Perform the Rune Glitch (Method 1)

1. Start at Dynasty Mausoleum Entrance Site of Grace in Mohgwyn Palace.
2. Use Torrent to ride up the stairs and move left into a rocky area near a yellow tree.
3. Carefully jump using Torrent: Jump onto a rock. Then jump toward a wall and perform directional mid-air jumps. Eventually, land on a specific platform behind the cliff.
4. Move east to a triangular rock where you’ll see message signs.
5. Stand at the edge of the rock, start casting and holding your spell, and fall while casting.
6. Keep holding the spell for about 2 minutes.
7. After the fall: You’ll earn about 150,000 runes in the first batch. Two additional batches of 10,000–12,000 runes will follow.
8. Open your map and teleport back to the Grace. If you die or miss it, your runes will be waiting on the rock for recovery.

Alternate Glitch Route (Method 2)

This second method is easier and leads to the same location:

1. From the same Grace, go left and use Torrent to ride through enemies.
2. Find a tree and scale it using double jumps.
3. Cross rocks and jump down to the same triangular rune farm spot.
4. Repeat the spell-casting fall method for free runes.

With Gold Scarab equipped, I earn 180,000+ runes each time. On higher NG+ cycles, this number can exceed 1 million runes per drop.

Bonus Farming Spot: Palace Approach Ledge-Road

For quick rune farming:

• Go to the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Grace.
• Use a bow to shoot a nearby bird — it falls off the cliff and grants ~14,000 runes.
• Use Hoarfrost Stomp Ash of War to clear out nearby enemies quickly (except the red variants — they’re more dangerous).

This location is great for safe, fast farming between glitches.

This unlimited runes glitch in Elden Ring is a game-changer. It works for both casual and hardcore players, and with simple setup, you can repeat it endlessly. Personally, I used this method on my first character and hit level 150 in no time — all without triggering a single boss past Mohg!

Always use glitches at your own discretion. While they work now, future patches may remove them.

Quick Tips Recap

• Complete Varre’s quest to unlock Mohgwyn Palace.
• Equip Gold Scarab for bonus runes.
• Use and hold a spell like Golden Vow during your fall.
• Repeat the process for massive rune gains.
• Bonus: Use the Palace ledge for consistent bird rune farming.
