Harbingers of a curse In folklore and mythology, there are often warnings and omens that foretell the arrival of a curse. These harbingers serve as a premonition, giving individuals a chance to prepare or attempt to avert the impending misfortune. Throughout history, various cultures have observed different signs that are believed to herald a curse. One common harbinger of a curse is the sudden appearance of dark and foreboding clouds. The sky, which was once clear and bright, becomes tainted with an ominous energy. People have long associated these dark clouds with impending doom, seeing them as a visible representation of the curse about to befell them.

My Journey to Seek the Best Rune Farming Spot in Elden Ring
So, I’m finally getting to the later (later-ish?) portions of Elden Ring, after almost 88 hours of the game. My old rune-farming location in Caelid (which I’ll talk about later) just isn’t cutting it anymore, even with the impressive boosts I get from the Golden Scarab Talisman (which gives about a 20% boost) and a gold-pickled fowl foot item (an additional 30% a pop). Levels are getting to be about 60,000 runes per, and lord knows, my stats need the help.
So, I went searching the internet for good rune-farming locations. One thing that kept coming up was the “chicken farming” spot in Mohgwyn Palace, a location you can access after completing White Mask Varr’s quest. The basics are familiar to anyone who has googled “Elden Ring Rune Farming:” there’s a big, nasty bird who can easily be picked off for a hefty load of runes. You can refresh at a nearby site of grace and rinse and repeat until you have a goldmine.
Unfortunately, most of the existing guides on the internet left me puzzled as to how to get there, exactly (they aren’t bad, I’m just a little… dense… when it comes to Elden Ring ). I went in thinking there was a bird on a perch that needed to be knocked down from a very specific angle, and I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out where it was.
Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to find the correct site of grace, activate it, and get down to bird-hunting. The bird is not actually on a perch at all, the area is just constructed in such a way that if you draw its attention, it will run blindly at you over the side of a cliff, with basically no risk to you. There’s no perch, no need for a perfect angle or even especially great aim. All you need to do is find the Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace, have a bow equipped, and shoot an arrow at the damned thing from the safety of the ledge. The fact that it’s so close to a site of grace (and relatively safe, as long as you don’t go massacring the alburnaurics nearby) makes it so easy to rack up tons and tons of runes with very little effort.
Birds stop chirping, the wind ceases to rustle through the trees, and even small creatures seem to sense the impending danger. This unnatural lack of sound fills the air with an eerie stillness, heightening the sense of impending doom. It is as if nature itself holds its breath in anticipation of the curse. In some cases, the harbingers may take the form of physical manifestations. Objects may unexpectedly move or break without explanation, shadows may appear and vanish, and strange noises may be heard. These paranormal occurrences are often associated with curses and are seen as a direct communication from the otherworldly realm. They serve as a warning or a taunt, heightening the anxiety and tension in those who witness them. One of the most potent harbingers of a curse is the appearance of an ominous symbol. This symbol, be it a rune, sigil, or a particular shape, is believed to be a mark left by the curse itself. This visual representation serves as a chilling reminder of the impending doom and instills a deep sense of dread. The symbol becomes a focal point, a visual cue that signifies the unfolding of a malevolent force. These harbingers of a curse, whether they manifest through atmospheric phenomena, unnatural silence, paranormal events, or ominous symbols, serve as warnings and reminders. They allow individuals to brace themselves for the upcoming misfortune or take measures to ward off the curse altogether. However, in most folklore and myths, the presence of these harbingers is often considered a sign that it is too late to escape the curse's clutches..
