U4GM - Elden Ring Runes: 5 Best Farming Spots in Late Game

[Mossglimmer]

As you push into Elden Ring’s late game, rune farming becomes essential for leveling, upgrading weapons, and buying high-end gear. Whether you’re prepping for New Game Plus or just want to power through those final bosses, knowing where to farm efficiently can save you hours. Below are five tried-and-true late-game farming spots that deliver major rune gains—especially valuable if you're not interested in using glitches or exploits.

1. Mohgwyn Palace – Blood-Filled Dynasty Grounds
Mohgwyn Palace remains the gold standard for late-game rune farming. Unlocked via Varre’s questline or a teleport portal in Consecrated Snowfield, this zone is packed with Albinaurics that drop a high number of runes and respawn quickly. With a solid AoE build like Sacred Relic Sword or Comet Azur, you can easily farm upwards of 50,000 runes per minute. For players looking to avoid the grind, some choose to buy Elden Ring items or buy Elden Ring runes from third-party sites like U4GM—but if you’re doing it legit, this is one of the best spots.

2. Haligtree – Elphael Inner Wall
The enemies in Elphael are no joke, but neither are their rune drops. Cleanrot Knights and Haligtree Soldiers hit hard but offer exceptional rune rewards. Equip a Gold Scarab and stack Rune-boosting gear or Talismans to make each run more efficient. This zone is great for players who are confident in their dodging and parrying. The risk is high, but so is the reward, making it a favorite for skilled players who want a challenge while farming.

3. Farum Azula – Dragon Temple Rooftop
This location shines for strength builds and spellcasters alike. From the Dragon Temple Rooftop Site of Grace, you can loop through a series of Beastmen and Knights who drop a respectable amount of runes. These enemies are fairly predictable, making them easy to dispatch with AoE or charged attacks. This is also a solid area if you're farming materials for upgrades—especially helpful if you plan to buy Elden Ring items to round out your loadout later.

4. Consecrated Snowfield – Yelough Anix Tunnel Entrance
Although less popular than Mohgwyn, this snowy region holds some strong rune farming opportunities. The trolls and golems here are slow but offer substantial rune payouts. With the right damage build and Golden Scarab, you can clear a rotation for tens of thousands of runes in just a few minutes. It’s not as flashy as other areas, but it’s reliable and doesn’t require tricky setups or questline prerequisites.

5. Crumbling Farum Azula – Beside the Great Bridge
Once you reach the Beside the Great Bridge Site of Grace, you're only a few steps away from a dense pack of enemies that reward big. The knights and beasts in this zone are aggressive but manageable with patience and spacing. Spellcasters and ranged builds will thrive here. Again, some players skip this step and buy Elden Ring runes directly via U4GM or other platforms, but for those who enjoy the process, this route provides consistent high-end rune drops.


By the time you reach Elden Ring’s endgame, farming efficiently can make a huge difference in how you experience the final stretch. Whether you want to hit level 200 or just want a few more upgrades before the final boss, these five spots offer some of the most efficient rune farming in the game. If you prefer to skip the grind altogether, services like U4GM exist for players looking to buy Elden Ring items or runes—but for those sticking with in-game methods, these locations deliver the best returns for your time.
