Some fans think their difficulty isn’t enough, however, and desire an even greater challenge from these games. Yet the games contain plenty of weird, funny, impractical, or just plain weird weapons that can make a playthrough tougher. For players seeking a true challenge, using these weapons is a great way to increase the difficu
Inevitably, certain mythical and historical weapons won’t be included in any future version of Elden Ring , due to limited development times and issues implementing them in Elden Ring ‚s current combat system. There are, however, a few weapon archetypes that could easily fit into Elden Ring ‚s existing catalog of weapon types, along with weaknesses in certain character builds that DLC weapons could am
Miquella was cursed with eternal youth. Despite many attempts, Miquella could not reverse his or his sister’s curses. This led him to abandon the Golden Order and the Erdtree. As an alternative, he planted and grew the Haligtree, possibly Elden Ring’s true parasite , in which he embedded himself in an effort to finally grow into adulthood and eventually cure Malenia’s Scarlet Rot. This plan was cut short when his step-brother Mohg abducted him from the Haligtree shortly after the Shattering be
Afterward, in a move that confounded many in the Lands Between, Marika took Radagon, one of the Golden Order’s loyal soldiers, as her consort. The big story twist in Elden Ring helps to explain this decision: Marika and Radagon are the same person. The specifics of this are unclear, and its implications are far-reaching. This would seem to indicate that Radagon’s marriage to the Carian Queen Rennala is, by extension, Marika’s relationship as w
However, art direction is at least just as important in creating breathtaking visuals for a game, and Elden Ring is still a great-looking game thanks to the creative use of style, lighting, and environmental des
It comes with the territory of being an older and more tightly-scoped game, but something that players of both games will notice is that Demon’s Souls is a noticeably shorter experience. It ultimately comes down to preference, but players looking for something concise will likely appreciate the fact that Demon’s Souls can be beaten — depending on the player’s pacing — in 20-30 ho
Farming rare weapons is ultimately a matter of luck since a 10% drop rate doesn’t necessarily mean that players will find one for every ten enemies they kill. When these drop rates drop as low as 1%, this randomness can often feel unfair, as some players may get unlucky and have to farm hundreds of enemies while others may get on their first or second kill. The most important aspects of getting a rare drop are finding the most optimal farming location in Elden Ring , which includes selecting the best Site of Grace to reset enemies and increasing the drop rate by any me
In contrast for Roguelike co-op gameplay players looking for a more expansive experience, Elden Ring will almost certainly take first-time players anywhere from 50-70 hours, depending on their pacing and how much they want to uncover in the game’s wo
SteelRising is the latest game from Spiders Games, the same developers behind Greedfall and The Technomancer . Set in an alternative 1789 Paris, the player controls an automaton named Aegis as she attempts to stop a mechanical army from taking over the French capi
Radagon gifted this Great Rune to Rennala when he left their marriage. Since Radagon and Marika are the same being and a partner doesn’t seem to be required to use the Great Rune, this would account for Ranni’s Empyrean status. When Radagon married Queen Marika, she raised his children’s status to demigodhood. This explains why Rykard and Radahn, a misunderstood hero of Elden Ring , grew to be so power
The most influential characters in **Elden Ring ** can all be tied back to their shared family tree. The game boasts a massive story world with many interconnecting yet seemingly unrelated plot lines. It can be challenging to remember who is who, especially with Elden Ring ‚s similar character names , and why they are connected with someone else. However, if players can keep track of family relationships at the center of the game, the events and character motivations become a bit clea
The Watchdog’s Greatsword is a unique-looking Colossal Greatsword that resembles a lump of stone, and although it is not the best in its class, it is still a compelling option for fans of Strength builds. Although this sword doesn’t possess the lowest drop rate, which is 8%, its rarity comes from the fact that only a handful of enemies have a chance to drop it, making the process of farming it quite difficult. On top of their scarcity, these enemies are also very tough and deal a lot of damage, and it is advisable that players use lighting, or strike damage weapons, as they are the most effective at staggering t
Following on from the success of Bloodborne , Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice introduced everyone to Wolf, a shinobi with a magical prosthetic arm who must fight and stealth his way through castles and fortresses to rescue Kuro during the Sengoku period in Japan. With a new protagonist and his unique abilities, it opened up the combat and world exploration that fans of FromSoftware could only dream
