Is it necessary togrindinElden Ring? To go out of your way to semi-mindlessly strike down the same wretches again and again? Not really. But that’s not going to stop us! I was hesitant to spotlight any rune-farming spots until the dust had settled. For a large portion of the game, the best advice is to explore to your heart’s content and face whatever threats pop up — to seek out those caves ‘n’ catacombs and play organically....

Theatre is a Legendary Shikai Element. This means that it has a drop rate of 3%. Once you receive your Shikai, if it’s not the one you want (which I assume is Theatre in this case) you’ll need to use a reroll to try your luck again....
