Elden Ringis a fantastical adventure of epic quests and mythical landscapes that players will find themselves exploring in their journey to complete the game fully. From battling ruthless foes to searching for hidden treasures, it seems that many of Elden Ring’s quests are both grueling and challenging. This will also be the case for players looking to enter the large tower known as Renna’s Rise, that is, if they do not know how to remove the barrier preventing their entry.
