<p data-start="0" data-end="66">As someone who has poured hundreds of hours into <em data-start="117" data-end="129">Elden Ring, one of the most exhilarating and grueling challenges I&rsquo;ve encountered is the NG+ (New Game Plus) boss rush. After completing the game once, NG+ opens the doors to even more intense fights, where enemies hit harder, and boss patterns demand sharper reflexes and optimized builds. In my experience, the key to making NG+ boss rushes manageable&mdash;and even enjoyable&mdash;was investing in Elden Ring Runes at the right time.

<h3 data-start="587" data-end="623">Why NG+ Boss Rush Is a Real Test</h3>
<p data-start="625" data-end="980">In NG+, FromSoftware raises the stakes. Bosses you once defeated now have increased health and deal significantly more damage. When attempting a boss rush&mdash;fighting multiple bosses back-to-back, often without long breaks or farming time&mdash;you need to be at peak readiness. There&rsquo;s little room for experimentation with under-leveled gear or incomplete builds.

<p data-start="982" data-end="1347">This is where I realized how crucial it is to start NG+ with a character that&rsquo;s already perfectly tuned&mdash;and to stay ahead in terms of level, stats, and gear. Grinding for hours just to be &ldquo;barely viable&rdquo; wasn&rsquo;t something I wanted to do again. So, I made a decision that changed everything: I decided to buy Elden Ring runes.

<h3 data-start="1349" data-end="1389">The Advantage of Buying Runes in NG+</h3>
<p data-start="1391" data-end="1731">At first, I was skeptical. I&rsquo;ve always valued the satisfaction of earning progress through gameplay. But in NG+, time becomes the most valuable currency. Farming 2 million runes to upgrade a weapon or respec my build wasn&rsquo;t just tedious&mdash;it pulled me away from the main reason I returned to Elden Ring: the thrill of high-stakes boss fights.

<p data-start="1733" data-end="2070">After purchasing a reasonable amount of runes from a reputable site, I immediately saw the difference. I was able to bring my Strength/Faith hybrid build to the perfect breakpoint for my NG+ strategy. My weapon of choice&mdash;the Blasphemous Blade&mdash;hit its max upgrade, and I had enough runes to adjust my stats via Rennala without hesitation.

<h3 data-start="2072" data-end="2095">Boss Rush, Enhanced</h3>
<p data-start="2097" data-end="2428">With my upgraded build, the NG+ boss rush experience transformed. I defeated Morgott, Godrick, and even Malenia in succession without needing to pause for rune farming. The momentum was incredible. I could test new tactics, swap Ashes of War more freely, and focus entirely on strategy instead of worrying about being underleveled.

<p data-start="2430" data-end="2683">Runes didn&rsquo;t make the game &ldquo;easy&rdquo;&mdash;that&rsquo;s never the case in <em data-start="2489" data-end="2501">Elden Ring&mdash;but they gave me the freedom to focus on skill-based gameplay instead of logistical grind. That freedom made NG+ feel like a true test of mastery, not a repeat of early-game chores.

<h3 data-start="2685" data-end="2720">Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?</h3>
<p data-start="2722" data-end="3120">If you're entering NG+ with the goal of taking on a boss rush, I strongly recommend considering a planned rune investment. Whether you farm them traditionally or decide to buy Elden Ring runes like I did, the benefit is undeniable. Being well-prepared is not just a luxury&mdash;it&rsquo;s a necessity when the bosses are stronger, faster, and more punishing than ever.



<p data-start="3122" data-end="3420" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">In my experience, buying runes was not about skipping content&mdash;it was about respecting my time and focusing on what <em data-start="3237" data-end="3249">Elden Ring does best: delivering unforgettable boss battles. If you&rsquo;re a seasoned player looking to dominate NG+ boss rushes, runes can be the most strategic edge you give yourself.
