FromSoftware titles can often be an anxiety-filled experience, and Elden Ring is no exception. Players, especially those who are new to the Soulsborne genre, try everything in their power to hold onto their Souls, or Runes in this case, so as to not lose progress towards the next level up.

Outside of boss fights, when players invest in Rune runs to stack up XP and level up, the Twiggy Cracked Tear is one of the most useful items in the game.
