Where to find it

Found in a number of late-game places:

  • Deeproot Depths: six in total, tied to the Giant Ants with large abdomens, which do not respawn. One is near the Root-Facing Cliffs site of grace and five near the Great Waterfall Crest site of grace, inside the cave that holds the Elden Stars incantation.
  • Divine Tower of Caelid: one on the back side of the tower, facing the Bestial Sanctum.
  • Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree: two, one on a corpse at the eastern edge of the ring-shaped walkway along a broken section, and one on a corpse at the southwest end of the graveyard in the far northeast of the city.
  • Jarburg: one from Diallos after you complete his and Jar-Bairn‘s shared questline.
  • Miquella’s Haligtree: three, including one in the canopy near the top of the ladder down to Haligtree Town.
  • Mohgwyn Palace: one on a corpse by the cliffs along the path to the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum.

Item description & lore

Golden Runes are the grace that lives within the people of the Lands Between, a leftover trace of gold. The Numen are said to have come from beyond the Lands Between and to share the same lineage as Queen Marika.

Notes & tips

  • Runes kept as items in your inventory are safe if you die, so there is no rush to crush them.
