Great Runes are not always active; they require activation using a Rune Arc. Once activated, the effects of a Great Rune persist until death. To utilize a Great Rune's benefits, first restore it at its corresponding tower, then equip it at a Site of Grace. Finally, use a Rune Arc to activate the effects temporarily. This system adds strategic depth, as players must decide when to employ their limited Rune Arcs for optimal advantage. Manage them wisely to enhance your gameplay experience.
