The recent 1.06 update has increased the distance Elden Ring players can roll if lightly equipped or possessed of a high Endurance attribute score. Besides making "naked speedruns" more viable, the "light" encumbrance status also increases the travel distance of players using "Bloodhound Step" or "Quickstep," partially canceling out the nerf FromSoftware applied to these weapon ski
"How to be Kicked From a Duel in One Simple Step:" they posted, Magma Wyrm Speedrun uploading a video showing their character using Law of Regression, which immediately prompts the other player to leave the duel. That's the downside of having mechanics mirror the single-player experience so closely, since either both players can buff up and cancel each other out, or one player can be so overpowered that fun goes out the window for one or both of t
Ever since the game's release back in late February 2022, Elden Ring 's convention-breaking developers at FromSoftware have been responding to player feedback and compiling regular updates to fix perceived gameplay issues and improve the accessibility of the RPG as a whole. One major example of this is an update applied to the game menu that appears when Elden Ring player characters rest at a Sight of Lost Grace checkpoint; if players possess the materials needs to upgrade the number of charges or the restorative powers of their healing/magical energy flasks, a golden dot will appear next to the "Flasks" menu option. Updates like these aren't quite as exciting as the buffing/nerfing of fantasy weapons/magic, but do massively improve Elden Ring 's gameplay and story by ensuring players won't lose track of when/if they can upgrade their primary restorative resour
Fia’s quest line brings the Tarnished face to face with Godwyn’s corpse. At one point in the quest, the Tarnished enters Fia, the Deathbed Companion’s Dream , and fights the Lichdragon Fortissax in an arena in front of the Prince of Death. The concept of entering dreams opens the possibility of meeting Godwyn in his younger state. It could also be possible to encounter the real Godwyn, the Golden, by traveling back in time, something the player does when they fight the Dragonlord Placidu
Elden Ring’s DLC has enormous potential to expand the lore of its most enigmatic characters and their effect on the Lands Between. Even if they don’t appear in the upcoming expansion, there is much to explore that might be featured in future DLCs or even a sequel to **Elden Ring ** . Until then, the community is left to speculate about the backstories and future of these charact
For the most part, members of the Elden Ring gaming community have vocally praised FromSoftware's decision to reduce the potency of the Corpse Piler skill (a long-ranged blood splash ability iconic to the Rivers Of Blood katana) and the Bloodhound Step skill (a smoke-veiled dodge ability that carries players a long distance). In previous versions of Elden Ring , these two skills were seen by many players as overpowered, particularly in PvP. As of patch 10.6, the damage and Hemorrhage status build-up of Corpse Piler has been greatly reduced at long range, forcing Elden Ring Rivers Of Blood katana users to close with their PvP opponents to deal high amounts of damage. By the same token, the Bloodhound Step skill has been adjusted so that repeated uses of it become less effective over time, forcing Elden Ring players to use it more tactically. However, these weapon Skill revisions are just the tip of the iceburg that is patch 10.6; many other subtler changes have been made to the gameplay and interface of Elden Ring , bringing the game closer to FromSofware's original intent for better or wo
"This game is exactly as difficult as you make it" the post read, followed by a video showing Latenna firing arrows at an enemy while both she and the Tarnished stand on a raised wall. As the Tarnished does nothing, Latenna finishes the enemy off with ease. It's hilarious how effective she is, but she can also definitively take away from the enjoyment of the challe
Queen Marika the Eternal is the catalyst for the game's events. She is the one who shattered the titular Elden Ring , throwing the Lands Between into a brutal war called The Shattering . Throughout the game, the player finds churches and statues dedicated to Marika. Several NPCs even tell stories about her. When the player finds her seemingly imprisoned inside the Erdtree, her body is broken, and she doesn’t speak. Instead, she transforms, confirming one of the biggest plot twists in the game: Radagon and Marika are one and the s
Elden Ring has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim since its release, thanks in part to the myriad of ways players can approach the game. Magical abilities are just one such avenue that invites creativity. From incantations to sorceries, magic in Elden Ring is incredibly versatile both on paper and in pract
For whatever reason, the early aughts animated film Shrek has become a big meme, and putting the green ogre in strange new situations is a running joke across the internet these days. Elden Ring wasn't immune to this phenomenon and this mod puts the ogre over the enemy Fire Prel
