What does Godrick's great rune improve?

[GeileSockeAltF4]

So I equipped godrick's rune and it says

that all attributes will be raised. But if i compare before/after equipping the rune, there is no difference at my stats.

So what does it improve?

Cheers

you have to use rune arcs to activate the great runes. similar to how embers worked in 3

Also keep in mind you need to have activated the rune at one of the divine towers, but I think if you equipped it you've already done that.

Oh i see, thanks. This is my first souls (like), so i am a little bit overwhelmed xD

you also need to go to the giant tower in the east of Stormveil to awaken the great rune

If you restore the rune in the limgrave tower and use a rune arc after equipping it at a grace, it increases your base stats. I believe it adds four points to vigor, endurance,strength, dexterity, and maybe a couple others. It is super useful to have.

keep in mind rune arcs are lost on death. there is a charm that adds 5 to the main stats aswell.

The Godrick Great Rune will raise all of your stats by 5 points (according to the wiki) when you use a Rune Arc. That Rune Arc stays active until you die, so it's essentially a permanent boost if you play smart and you can always get more Rune Arcs by answering a summons and and clearing a boss. I think you might also get one sometimes when you help defeat an invader, but don't quote me on that.

That is true but they are pretty easy to get. You get one for helping a player beat a boss. Plus you can farm runes as well that way.
The charm, if I am thinking of the right one, also increases damage taken so it is a bit of a double edged sword. It is useful though.

there is a greatrune effect that restores hp on enemy kills. not good for bosses but makes clearing areas a breeze.

i played without them so far. they are an optional boost if you really need one. one rune makes respec costfree so you dont need the rare item. but restoreing that rune is a bit more tricky than the others.

Good to know I was extremely sad when I realized you lose it on death.. Silly you should just get one because you have the rune. One at a time and just like armor ect. They wont be used by most Id bet because of this. I always end up in games with rare limited uses just never using them.,

I was confused wtf these did and assumed the rune arc was a temp buff. If it lasts until death that's epic, I have like ten or so of these stocked up

killing bosses when someone summons you, think of sunlight medals from the dark souls games
