When playing a game created by FromSoftware, dodging attacks is almost always preferable to trying to tank them. However, even the best players are going to get hit every once in a while. This is a fact that is more true in Elden Ring than it was in any of their previous games thanks to bosses like Malenia, whose attacks are difficult to dodge regardless of how simple challenge runners make it look like it is. As a consequence of this, putting some of your money into Vigor is a smart move. But what if you want to go further than simply giving yourself a little more wiggle room? What if your objective is to raise your health point total to the point where it will be difficult for even the most powerful bosses to kill you? You have a few choices available to you in the early game as well as in the late game when you play Elden Ring. These are the most effective ways to increase your health in the game. Crimson Hood (also known as:At the beginning of the game, when you first come across the Crimson Hood, it is being worn by Roderika at the Stormhill Shack.

After she has completed the preparations for Spirit Tuning in the Roundtable Hold, she will abandon the hood in Stormveil Castle. It will be placed atop the pile of dead bodies in the room that is adjacent to the Grafted Scion. The Crimson Hood provides the least significant increase in HP among these items due to the fact that it only grants one Vigor (and if you already have 99 Vigor, it has no effect). However, due to the fact that it can be found so quickly, even that marginal improvement can make a significant difference. Plus, the Hood looks nice; Roderika has good taste. The Scarseal or Soreseal of RadagonBoth the Scarseal and the Soreseal that Radagon possesses have a nearly identical effect. The Scarseal provides you with an increase of three levels in Vigor, Endurance, and Strength, while the Soreseal provides you with an increase of five levels in those same stats. This effect is extremely powerful, particularly early on in the game; however, it comes with a significant drawback: both Talismans increase the amount of damage you take by 15%. As a direct consequence of this, the Health Points you gain from your increased Vigor are not as useful as they would be at true levels.

Although it will appear that your health bar has increased, the Talismans you are using are actually providing enhancements in other areas

• The Ancient Hero of Zamor, who is held captive in the Weeping Evergaol by an Imp Statue Seal, is the source of the Scarseal, despite the fact that it is a less powerful item

• It can only be obtained by defeating the Ancient Hero of Zamor

• The Soreseal is further away and located in a more hazardous area, which is Dragonbarrow's Fort Faroth; however, if you know where to go, you can reach it without having to fight any enemies on the way (although it is likely that you will perish in the process)

• If you are in need of an early boost, it is recommended that you bypass the Scarseal and head straight for the Dragonbarrow instead

• 5Erdtree's FavorErdtree's Favor has a good chance of being the most useful Talisman in the game overall

• There are three variations of it, and each one provides a different boost to your maximum health, stamina, and equip load capacity

• However, despite the fact that those additional bonuses make it superior to some of the other options on this list for most purposes, the increase in HP is only three, 3

5, or four percent, depending on which option you choose. Nevertheless, Erdtree's Favor Talismans are good options to consider if you want to increase your maximum health while also benefiting from some additional effects. If you choose the Stonesword Keys as your Keepsake, you'll have almost instant access to the Fingefolk Hero's Grave, where the first version of the weapon can be found; however, even at higher levels, this location is a nightmare to explore. You can find the first version of the weapon in the Fingefolk Hero's Grave. The +1 version can be found in a chest in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds after defeating Mohg, the Omen. The +2 version can be found in Leyndell, Ashen Capital, where it is guarded by a pair of Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirits. Both versions can be obtained by defeating Mohg, the Omen. The Great Rune of Godrick. Godrick's is most likely going to be the first Great Rune you acquire in Elden Ring, but there are quite a few of them there. And at that point in the game, it possesses an extraordinary amount of power.

It increases all of your stats by five, just like Radagon's Soreseal does, but it does not have the same negative effect of making your damage more severe. It is essential to keep in mind that this Great Rune will become unavailable once you reach the various soft caps, which are points in the game where gaining levels grants you progressively less benefit. There will be better options available later on in the game, particularly if you are specifically trying to increase your health point total. Killing Godrick and delivering the Great Rune to the Divine Tower of Limgrave in Stormveil Castle will prove to be extremely beneficial for the early game. Medallion in Crimson and AmberThe Crimson Amber Medallion is one of the Talismans that Elden Ring provides that is considered to be among the most fundamental. Your maximum health will increase by either six, seven, or eight percent, depending on which version you choose from the three available. You have the option of keeping the base variant as a memento or purchasing it from the Nomadic Merchant located in the northeastern part of the Weeping Peninsula. Because the effect will be so negligible at that early stage in the game, you might be tempted to disregard this Talisman as being completely pointless.

On the other hand, effects that are based on percentages become noticeably more significant as your Vigor increases. Therefore, by the time you find the +1 version in Volcano Manor (hidden behind an imp-statue seal close to the Site of Grace for the Prison Town Church) or the +2 version in Leyndell, Ashen Capital (hidden beneath a sewer grate close to the Site of Grace with the same name), the effect will have become significantly more apparent. Eight percent of 2,000 is a significantly more significant number than eight percent of 500. Radahn's Great RuneIt stands to reason that one of the most powerful demigods in the Lands Between would be in possession of an equally potent Great Rune, and Radahn's Great Rune lives up to the billing. It provides a staggering 15 percent increase to your health, vitality, and stamina. Godrick's Great Rune is the obvious pick for characters of low level, but Radahn's Great Rune is widely regarded as the superior option for those of higher level. Almost every build requires at least some of the statistics it provides, and as was just mentioned, percentage-based boosts get better as the game progresses, whereas extra levels get worse.

You will need to defeat Starscourge Radahn in order to acquire this exceptional Great Rune, and then you will need to restore it at the Divine Tower of Caelid, which is located in Dragonbarrow. The Great Rune of Morgott. The Morgott's Great Rune is the ultimate health booster for the Elden Ring. Your maximum health will be increased by 25% while this effect is active. It doesn't matter how powerful Radahn and Godrick's Great Runes are overall; when it comes to this particular challenge, they are no match for the might of the Lord of Leyndell. Not even close. Some of the other items on this list come with added bonuses and will perform better in a variety of contexts than the ones being discussed here. Morgott is unbeatable, however, if the only thing you desire is for your health bar to take up the entirety of the top of the screen. After defeating Morgott, the Omen King, you are rewarded with this Great Rune. To use it, you must first bring it to the Divine Tower of East Altus, where it will be activated.
