Solo Expedition in Elden Ring: Deep of Night Depth 4 as Iron Eye

Today, we’re diving into Deep of Night Depth 4, solo as Iron Eye, armed with an overwhelmed glass cannon build that excels in poison and physical attack damage. With the continuous HP loss debuff throughout this expedition, our strategy will rely heavily on using Ballises for HP restoration. If you find yourself struggling, you might also consider finding ways to buy Elden Ring Runes to enhance your build and equip stronger gear. Let’s get this run started and prepare to unleash some serious damage.

Preparation and Build Overview

Before we drop into the fight, let’s go over our game plan. The glass cannon build focuses on maximizing damage while accepting a vulnerability to attacks due to low health. This means:

1. Equip Optimal Weapons: Choose weapons that enhance poison and physical damage.

2. Collect Ballises: Ballises will be crucial for HP restoration during the run.

3. Focus on Stamina Items: As dodging and attacking will be frequent, stamina recovery items are necessary.

4. Utilize Healing Items Wisely: Instead of relying solely on flasks, look for items that heal over time to maintain sustainability.

The Drop into Deep of Night

Upon entering, you're greeted by our first enemy, a Tree Avatar. While it may be tempting to take this enemy head-on, it's essential to evaluate the situation carefully. Given the continuous HP loss, fighting this enemy could prove costly.

Making the call, we’ll avoid direct combat and instead focus on leveraging our build. Remember, just because we have high damage doesn't mean we need to take unnecessary risks!

Combat Strategy

Engaging the Avatar

1. Apply Poison: Use poison attacks to wear down the Tree Avatar’s health over time.

2. Stay Mobile: With our frail health, dodging attacks is crucial. Keep moving to avoid taking significant damage.

3. Use Ballises: As our HP diminishes, utilize Ballises for HP restoration whenever possible. They can help offset the continuous health loss.

Leveling Up

After dealing some damage to the Tree Avatar, consider running back to the nearest Sight of Grace to level up. This strategic move can boost your stats and provide additional health to help withstand blows during combat. Additionally, if you’re looking to enhance your journey further, you might explore options for Elden Ring Items for sale, such as those offered by MMOEXP, to equip yourself with powerful gear that complements your build.

Exploring Nearby Areas

Once you've leveled up, it’s time to explore nearby areas. Here’s what to look for:

· Additional Crates and Supplies: Always look for items that can restore health over time or provide buffs.

· Encounter More Enemies: Engaging weaker enemies can help you build resources and find useful items.

Facing Bosses: Big Challenges Ahead

As we progress through the Depths, several bosses await us. Strategies to keep in mind:

· Assess the Enemy: Evaluate each boss’s moves once you engage. Aggressive dodging and timely strikes can turn the tide of battle.

· Use Perks Strategically: Make the best use of your perks; focus on physical damage negation where possible.

Especially with the Grafted Monarch, observe attack patterns and maximize damage while minimizing risk by staying out of range of their most devastating attacks.

The Gaping Jaw Challenge

As we approach The Gaping Jaw, an intense fight awaits. Make sure to activate buffs such as Barrage and Lightning Precision for maximum damage output. The water surrounding this area can offer strategic positioning against lightning attacks, so use the environment to your advantage.

1. Opening Moves: Start with ranged attacks and apply poison consistently.

2. Avoid Overextension: Don’t commit to melee attacks unless you’re sure you can dodge immediately afterward.

3. Use Healing Items: Continue to utilize healing items throughout the fight to survive.

Recap: Successfully Completing the Run

In the end, the key to survival in Deep of Night Depth 4 as Iron Eye is about balance—high damage output and strategic healing. By managing your HP carefully, utilizing Ballises, and leveraging the glass cannon build, you can complete this challenging depth solo and emerge victorious.
