Mid Game (35-75)
By Lenne’s Rise: Go down the slope. A ball will spawn and try to smash you, but you can turn right, dodge the ball and let it fall down the cliff. Then continue down the path a short way for another identical ball, just under an overhanging tree.
One run takes around 30 seconds and doesn’t require any fighting. Make sure the ball goes off the side of the cliff and it’s close enough that you can get the Runes.
Late Game (75+)
