Retrieve Runes is a community mod in Elden Ring created to assist players in bypassing the penalty of death, allowing Tarnished to immediately recover their lost Runes upon respawning. This fanmade feature functions similarly to the effect of the Sacrificial Twig, a single-use Talisman that restores a player's Runes at the cost of a Talisman Slot. These Sacrificial Twigs are exceptionally rare and available in limited supply within the Lands Between. On the other hand, the Retrieve Runes mod grants the power of immediate Rune recovery indefinitely.
The Lands Between is a cruel and brutal place, leaving little to no room for Tarnished inexperienced in the arts of skill-based combat or exploitative fighting techniques. Likewise, constantly losing one's hard-earned Runes to an untimely or even undeserved death might damage the confidence and sanity of maidenless travelers. Therefore, having the Retrieve Runes mod is a great way to sidestep Elden Ring's punishing mechanic of losing one's currency upon death. With this mod, dying will still produce a minor setback for Tarnished but will not become a substantial impediment to one's experience and character progression.
