How Many Great Runes Are in Elden Ring?

Elden Ring is a massive game, filled with secrets and powerful items. One of the most important items you can find are the Great Runes. These are special items dropped by the main bosses of the game that offer powerful passive effects. If you're wondering how many there are, you've come to the right place.
There are seven Great Runes in Elden Ring that you can get from defeating demigod bosses. There are also three Mending Runes, which are used to unlock different endings for the game. To finish the game, you only need to find two Great Runes.
What Are Great Runes?
Great Runes are powerful items that give you special abilities. Think of them as super-powered accessories for your character. For example, Godrick's Great Rune increases all of your stats, while Rykard's Great Rune restores your health when you defeat enemies. To activate a Great Rune you need to use a Rune Arc, which is a consumable item.
I remember the first time I got a Great Rune. I had been stuck on Godrick the Grafted for what felt like forever. When I finally beat him, I was so excited to see that he dropped a Great Rune. I immediately equipped it and felt so much more powerful. It was a great feeling and it motivated me to keep playing and find more of them.
Here is a list of all the Great Runes in Elden Ring and what they do:
- Godrick's Great Rune: Raises all attributes.
- Malenia's Great Rune: Attacks recover HP after taking damage.
- Mohg's Great Rune: Grants a blessing of blood to phantoms and enhances their attack power.
- Morgott's Great Rune: Greatly raises maximum HP.
- Radahn's Great Rune: Raises maximum HP, FP, and Stamina.
- Rykard's Great Rune: Restores HP upon defeating enemies.
- Great Rune of the Unborn: Used to perfect rebirth (respec your character).
My personal favorite Great Rune is Rykard's. As someone who likes to play aggressively, it's a lifesaver. Being able to heal after every kill allows me to stay in the fight longer and take on more enemies at once. It's not the best for every situation, but for my playstyle, it's perfect.
