⇒ On This Page: This guide explores the term “rebirth” in Elden Ring. We’ll talk about what it means and how you can use this option to experiment with different builds.
What happens when you rebirth in Elden Ring?
When you rebirth, you reset your character’s stats to the baseline of your class. You can then re-distribute the stats to experiment with a different build or adapt to a new weapon. You’ll spend one Larval Tear per rebirth.
As you can see, classes are not that important in Elden Ring. You can always respect your stats if you’re not happy with your character’s performance. You can also use the rebirth option is you want to try out a different build without creating a new character and starting a new game.
Your need to defeat Rennala if you want to rebirth
After defeating Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, you’ll get rewarded with the Great Rune of The Unborn. You can use this Great Rune to respect your character (rebirth) provided that you also have a Larval Tear. As a quick reminder, the Great Rune of The Unborn is one of the seven Great Runes available in the game.
How many times can you rebirth in Elden Ring?
You can rebirth as many times as you want in Elden Ring as long as you have Larval Tears to spend. Each rebirth costs one Larval Tear. You can spend this item to redistribute your stats and focus on a different build and skills.
How many Larval Tears does Elden Ring have?
There are 17 Larval Tears available in Elden Ring. Larval Tears are very rare, especially in the early game. The first Larval Tear is dropped by the Lesser Runebear disguised as an Undead Soldier located east of the Agheel Lake South Site of Grace.
How do you get Larval Tears in Elden Ring?
