Preview - Elite Elder Woods! New AP's! New Badges and Titles!

[Cinco]

Welcome to the Elite Elder Woods

As we come up on the anniversary of the Elder Woods expansion release, it's time to use your honed Elder Woods knowledge and skill in a brand new challenge--Elder Woods Elites.

The Maps



Navigate to the Elder Woods Elite content by selecting "Elite Maps" on the World Map. Be prepared for heavier hitting attacks, larger health pools, and higher stakes. If you're aiming for Leaderboard fame, don't forget to check the "LB Run" box when entering a map.



As the pop-up will state, Leaderboard runs are automatically scaled to max level and are not for the faint of heart!



Also, keep your eye out for 4 ultra-rare mini-boss spawns: Felfang, Krysalyn, Platasu, and Rhinoras, which will grant a special achievement (see below) when defeated.

Boss Loot

Elite Elder Woods Bosses have the chance to drop a handful of new Elder Woods themed furnishings, including 3 sizes of forest wall, and an Elder Woods Brazier, perfect for turning your home into a cozy forest getaway.



Plus, while not a part of the Elite content, Dead Estus in the Poison Caverns now also drops the Poison Miasma furnishing, which adds a sparkling poisonous cloud to an area of your home.



There's also the
"Tektite Elite Runner's Chest"
