Elden Ring: Hidden Game Changes You Might've Missed

Because the range of the kill box didn't cover the full floor of one pit in the Impaler's Catacombs, Elden Ring players could survive the fall. However, players who survived the fall would die when they tried to leave the pit because they would run into the kill box. Developers solved this issue in patch 1.03 by giving the kill box the proper range to cover the full floor of the pit. Now, players don't need to worry about losing their runes in the

Players have plenty to explore with Elden Ring's open-world map , and exploration sometimes leads to players dying from fall damage. Spirit Springs that are scattered through the map allow players to survive falls that would normally kill them within a certain range of the Spirit Spring. However, some of the Spirit Springs had a range that was much shorter than others. Patch 1.03 fixed the Spirit Springs in Caelid so they now have a larger range of effect and behave prope

PlatinumGames' aforementioned previous title, NieR:Automata has to be played more than twice because players genuinely cannot experience the entire game in one go, and in this case, that's to its benefit. The emotional story is told from three perspectives, and engaging combat mechanics help bring players along through the narratives. Automata remains a great and unique experie

After the boss fight, players will be pleasantly surprised that the cave will continue on until they find an exit. The whole boss area is then revealed to be an underwater tunnel that connects to the island housing the Dragon Communion Church . It sets a precedent of how caves or catacombs in Elden Ring can hide secrets, thus incentivizing player explorat

The world of **Elden Ring ** , FromSoftware's newest dark fantasy RPG, is full of fancy helms and hats players can acquire (either by picking them up from bodies or slaying enemies over the course of play). The weirdest, most intriguing helmets by far are the ones literally crafted from the bodies and heads of certain side characters and opponents in Elden Ring ; aside from letting players customize their characters or engage in "cosplay" shenanigans, the item descriptions for these helmets also give gamers a lot of information about the odder lifeforms in this game's sett

According to the Albinauric Bloodclot item, Albinaurics are " lifeforms made by human hands," seen by many in the world of Elden Ring as living " impure lives ." First-generation Albinaurics bear a close resemblance to humans, albeit with non-functioning legs, while second-generation Albinaurics have the deep Of night mode pudgy grey-faced alien look. Despite the efforts of valiant Elden Ring lore-hunters, it's still unclear who exactly created the Albinauric people and for what purpose. The proximity of Albinauric enemies to Glintstone Sorcery-themed locations like Elden Ring 's Liurnia and Raya Lucaria suggests the Albinaurics were made to be the servants of Sorcerers; at the same time, descriptions for items like the Albinauric Shield claim that "t he Albinaurics' most formidable foes were sorcere

Using the proprietary Nemesis system, Monolith Productions made the Middle-earth: Shadow games stand out by having previous foes recall player actions against them and react based on that upon a rematch. It's not the only way to make the world feel like it's alive, but it is an impressive and unique

Initially believed to be an Easter egg, the texture for the Dark Souls chests was removed from most of the Elden Ring chests that had it. This means the textures were most likely placeholders that were missed before the game's rele

The Albinauric Mask helm is literally and grotesquely crafted from the face and hide of a second generation Albinauric according to its item description. Aside from granting an Arcane attribute bonus and letting player characters resemble pudgy-faced aliens, the Albinauric Mask (found near the Volcano Manor area of Elden Ring ), along with other Albinauric-themed game items, tells us a lot about who the Albinauric people are, and how thy came to ex

Personal quests are what define God of War , as while its combat is incredible and its upgrade systems make Kratos feel like a co-creation of the player, the best aspect of the game is the story. It follows a father and son who bond along a journey of peril to spread a loved one's ashes on a mountain p

Though not nearly as mischievous as the previous items on this list, " fort, night " is a message that may rival them in terms of their ubiquity. A clear reference to Epic Games' best-selling battle royale Fortnite , this message can be found lying in and around the game's many fortresses and castles. These Fortnite messages keep appearing in Elden Ring despite their already-immense popularity, and while they may be good for a chuckle or two the first couple of times, it's likely that players will grow sick of them as they continue to pop up time and time ag

The Highroad Cave is located in Stormhill, just north of Limgrave near the big bridge. As for why players will want to check this place out, it's one of the good thematic caves in Elden Ring where players will want torches or a lantern. This cave is dimly lit, and that adds to the challenge of travers
