Monstrous Crow

Monstrous Crow is a Hostile Wildlife Enemy in Elden Ring. A towering bird with extremely long legs built for running, a sharpened beak, and disproportionately small wings that can grant it flight for a short while.

Where to Find Monstrous Crow:

• Found in great numbers in CaelidRegion.

• Found fighting Trolls in the Flame PeakLandmark.

• Mohgwyn PalaceLandmark - These Blistered Giant Crows gain a new flailing attack, and have significantly more HP.

• There is a location at Mohgwyn PalaceLandmark, right next to the "Palace Approach Ledge-RoadGrace" Site of Grace, where a Blistered Giant Crow across a large gorge can be shot with an arrow or spell and be lured off the cliff's edge between the player and the Crow. Upon death, the Crow will drop 11038 Runes, and can be respawned at the Site of Grace in the same location. This makes for an excellent way to farm many Runes very quickly.

  • Using a Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot, players will net 14,000+ Runes per kill, greatly increasing the Runes gained. Additionally, while using the Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot combined with the effects of the Golden Scarab Talisman, players will net 17,000+ Runes per kill.

• Crows will sometimes feign a stagger, complete with the audio cue. They begin wobbling around on one foot to bait an approach, before performing a grab attack with their beak. A truly staggered crow will flop over onto their side, exposing a glowing spot on their head.

Blistered Crows may use a delayed, lunging bite attack that carries them forward into a belly flop. They will briefly cry out in surprise before propelling themselves forward while chomping blindly for a few seconds. This lengthy attack can be avoided by staying behind its head, creating distance, or by causing a stagger.
