3. Build, then rebuild

You might be more interested in Elden Ring as an unalloyed blood bath, though, so for you, testing out various builds could be the best way to reinvigorate it.

Be disloyal to your save files and make a few for the different starting classes that interest you. Personally, I have Prophet, Astrologer, and Warrior characters to test out different playstyles, builds, and weapons, but if you aren’t super keen on organization, you can throw everything together in one pot by constantly switching builds within one character.

Do this by defeating Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon in the Raya Lucaria Academy (summoning and staying close for rapid, staggering attacks worked for me). Collect Larval Tears, an item that is scattered and dropped around the Lands Between, return to the Raya Lucaria Grand Library, talk to Rennala and choose “Rebirth” in exchange for a Larval Tear. You can reallocate points or respec as many times as you have Larval Tears.
