Great Runes are not a one-time use in Elden Ring. After activating a Great Rune at a corresponding Divine Tower, players can equip it for continuous passive benefits. However, to receive these effects, players need to use a consumable item called Rune Arc each time they want to activate its power. This means while the Great Rune remains available, Rune Arcs must be replenished through gameplay. Always make sure you have Rune Arcs available for activating your Great Rune when needed.
