Morgott's Great Rune is the best Great Rune to use because it increases your current max HP by 25%, fitting all builds in any scenario. Although damage increase is desirable, being able to tank more hits allows you to survive longer and keep your Runes intact.
To maximize the use of Morgott's Great Rune, it's best to use all HP-boosting buffs first before using the rune arc. All the HP accumulated from other sources will be increased from the Great Rune.
An alternative for this is Radahn's Great Rune which only offers a 15% increase to your max HP, but it also increases your FP and Stamina by the same amount.
Go to each boss's Divine Tower to activate the power of their Great Rune. You will need to defeat the corresponding boss to access the area.
The Great Rune of the Unborn does not apply to this step as defeating Rennala grants you the full power of the Great Rune immediately.
Go to the menu screen and select the Great Runes option. On this menu, you can view each Great Rune's effects and choose which ones to equip. A Rune Arc is required to receive the power of a Great Rune.
Using a Rune Arc will activate the Great Rune's effect. This will last until your character dies and the effect ends. You will need to use another Rune Arc to activate it again.
