In Elden Ring, acquiring rare and powerful loot from bosses can significantly shape your gameplay experience. While defeating bosses naturally grants valuable rewards, certain items can subtly boost your chances of getting better drops or increase the quantity of runes you receive. If you’re looking to maximize your haul after each epic battle, knowing which Elden Ring Items to use is crucial.

Here, I’m sharing 13 tools that can help increase your boss loot rewards, drawn from personal experience and community insights.

1. Gold Scarab TalismanThis talisman is widely regarded as the best for boosting rune acquisition. While it doesn't directly increase item drops, it maximizes the runes earned from bosses, enabling you to invest more in leveling or purchasing gear.

2. Rune-Boosting Talismans (Radagon’s Scarseal and Radagon’s Soreseal)These increase attack power, helping you defeat bosses faster. While not directly affecting loot, they reduce farming time, making rune farming and loot collection more efficient.

3. Silver ScarabThis is the top choice for enhancing item discovery. It increases the quantity of loot dropped by enemies and bosses, including rare crafting materials and unique items.

4. Adula’s Moonblade (Weapon)Besides its magic scaling, it inflicts frost buildup which can stagger bosses quicker, indirectly increasing your efficiency in obtaining loot.

5. Preserving Boluses (Consumable)While primarily used to cure scarlet rot, maintaining your health and status enables longer boss fights without interruptions, helping you stay focused on loot.

6. Luck-Boosting GearCertain armor pieces and rings boost your luck stat, which slightly improves drop rates. Experimenting with these can subtly increase the amount of rare items you get.

7. Mimic Tear AshesAlthough technically a summon, having a Mimic Tear alongside you increases damage output, making boss fights quicker and improving overall rune gain.

8. Rune ArcsUsing rune arcs during fights amplifies rune gains. While not increasing item drops, they contribute to the overall rewards you earn.

9. Bell BearingsFound in the Late Game, these unlock merchant inventories that sometimes include rare crafting materials and unique Elden Ring Items that improve your farming capabilities.

10. Loot-Enhancing ConsumablesSome consumables temporarily boost item discovery. Combining these with gear like the Silver Scarab can yield better boss loot.

11. Somber Smithing StonesWhile not a loot booster per se, upgrading weapons with these stones after boss fights ensures you maximize the power of your newly acquired gear.

12. Spirit AshesCertain ashes can distract or deal damage to bosses, helping you conserve resources and maintain focus on loot collection.

13. U4GM Community RecommendationsFinally, if you’re looking to bypass the grind, U4GM is known among players as a reliable source for acquiring Elden Ring Runes and Elden Ring Items quickly and safely. While it’s always rewarding to farm your gear, sometimes supplementing your inventory through trusted channels can accelerate your progress.

Understanding these tools and how they interact with the game’s loot mechanics can make a significant difference in your playthrough. Whether you’re farming for a specific weapon upgrade, farming runes, or hunting rare items, leveraging the right items will enhance your chances of success.
