How to Respec in Elden Ring

So, you've put a bunch of points into the wrong stats in Elden Ring and now you're stuck? Don't worry, we've all been there. It's a classic gamer moment. You think you're building the ultimate warrior, but you've actually made a character who's a bit rubbish at everything. The good news is that you can respec your character. The short answer is you'll need to defeat Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, and have a Larval Tear.

How to Respec Your Character

To respec, you'll need to have progressed a fair bit into the game. Specifically, you need to have defeated the boss Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. She's located in the Raya Lucaria Academy in Liurnia of the Lakes. Once you've defeated her, she'll become a friendly NPC who can help you respec.

Here's a simple breakdown of what you need to do:

1. Defeat Rennala: This is the first and most important step. Without defeating her, you won't be able to respec.

2. Get a Larval Tear: This is a special item you'll need to give to Rennala. There are a few of these scattered around the world, so keep your eyes peeled.

3. Talk to Rennala: Once you have a Larval Tear, go and talk to Rennala in the Grand Library.

4. Choose 'Rebirth': You'll have a few options when you talk to her. Choose the 'Rebirth' option to start the respec process.

I remember the first time I decided to respec. I'd put all my points into Strength, thinking I'd be a powerhouse. But then I found a cool magic sword that I couldn't use. I was so annoyed! So, I went on a hunt for a Larval Tear, defeated Rennala, and completely changed my character. It was like playing a whole new game. My friend had a similar experience. He'd made a character that was a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none. He was really struggling with the game. After he respecced and focused on a specific build, he started enjoying the game a lot more.

It is worth noting that you can find more information on how to do this in our other article, "How to Reset Stats in Elden Ring".
