Whether on Twitter, Reddit or even on YouTube, the Elden Ring community continues to rail against a category of PvP players who hide in incongruous places to flee combat with the sole purpose of seeking the suicide of their opponent in order to to amass as many runes as possible without the slightest effort. Before being invaded, these players use Torrent (the mount) to slip into areas that cannot be reached on foot. Once in place, they activate the invasions and wait to collect their loot following the rage quits of the invaders.
If mounts were allowed in PvP sessions, the problem wouldn’t be as big, except that Torrent is forced to stable when you get invaded or are in the process of doing so. As a result, it is impossible to reach your opponent and the only way out remains your suicide. In order to overcome this size problem on Elden Ring, a weapon will be of great help to you: the cannon jar.
The Canon jarre: the solution to all your problems
This weapon isn’t the most popular in the game by far; it is not the most optimized either for defeating opponents and good anticipation of their movements is necessary to hit them. This weapon will never be able to match popular builds like Bleed or Freeze focused, so it was quickly shelved. However, in the event that you are confronted with a player who is hiding in heights or in areas close to a precipice, the Cannon jar build will be useful.
Indeed, if the player is near a precipice, the impact of the cannon fire will be able to stagger (or even collapse) your opponent and may cause him to fall. Then if ever the latter is positioned in height, you just have to tilt the barrel high enough for the bell shot to reach it and hit the mark.
The Jar Cannon doesn’t have a bow-like outstretched shot, which is why the bell shot can be a real problem, as it takes a while to pick up. But once you have assimilated all the possible trajectories of your mortars, you will be able to enjoy PvP with confidence.
How do I get the Jar Cannon?
The Jar Cannon will be your reward for fighting against Margot, the Demi-Human Queen. The latter is located within the Mont Gelmirin the volcanic cave located in the far north of the area. Margot is not an opponent who will be fundamentally difficult to kill, because you will just have to dodge her spells and rush at her in melee to remove her staff. Once she is without magic, the latter will completely change her patern and will try to hit you with her hands, but you just have to stand behind her back to easily defeat her.
For you to be able to equip yourself with this weapon, it will be necessary to have good statistics, because itThis ballista requires 34 Strength and 12 Dexterity.. In order to be able to play it, you will have to use both hands to shoot and you will not be able to equip an ash of war to try to add a little exoticism to its gameplay. On the other hand, you will be able to make a small visit to the blacksmith to improve it, since the latter can be improved by using dark forging stones.
Where can I get Jar Cannon ammo?
The ammunition of this weapon is unique: the Big explosive tiles. These tiles cost 800 runes units from the Mount Gelmir Merchant and cannot be crafted (however the purchase is unlimited). Because of this, to get them you will need to average runes, although the amount shouldn’t be a problem, especially if you’ve reached a high level.
If you are sufficiently advanced in the game, we advise you to follow this trick to farm 2 million runes in the space of a good hour. This little farming will allow you to largely amortize your expenses.
