The humble NPC Thops, a self-described "Bluntstone" sorcerer players can encounter near Liurnia of the Lakes, may actually be the Glintstone Sorcerer closest in spirit to the non-militant astrologers or yore. He can sell players the Starlight spell, which conjures up a long-lasting ball of blue light, and at the end of his questline creates the Thop's Barrier spell, a temporary shield capable of deflecting attacks from Elden Ring 's final b

One of the goodest boys to travel The Lands Between, Blaidd is a trustworthy knight you first encounter howling at the sky early on in your adventure. He is among the characters you might find yourself sympathizing with the most, both due to his amicable nature and his tragic st

Despite having absolutely no dialogue, Goldmask is decidedly one of the more intriguing characters. He is an esoteric figure known for two things: Being a great scholar that follows the Golden Order (a fundamentalist philosophy that guides a set of holy "math magic" invocations)... as well as being a naked dude who points at tr

This fact becomes important to the mist when Godwyn’s curse mark is combined with Ranni’s to make the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince. Since the curse marks are combined, the rune can cause both the souls and bodies of living things in the world of Elden Ring 's Lands Between . This is why the Erdtree turns pallid and leafless when the Rune of the Death-Prince becomes part of the Elden Ring: the souls and bodies buried in its roots face permanent death, removing the life force from the tree. And just as Erdtree’s leaves die and fall as a result of this, so too must the tree shed the dead souls it contained. And since the Erdtree emanates a mist in the Age of the Duskborn cutscene, it appears the mist is precisely how the Erdtree sheds itself of these dead so

A couple of quests converge in this small village filled with Living Jars. The first of which will be that of Diallos, a cowardly but well-meaning nobleman belonging to House Hoslow. Despite his moping, he will eventually find his way to Jarburg and become their "Potentate" a seemingly important figure to them and a role only someone with a gentle touch can f

It would be hyperbole, at best, to say that Miquella is a villain in. To achieve his goals, Miquella may resort to ruthless methods, but said methods are consistently less atrocious than the limb harvesting of Elden Ring 's Godrick the Grafted , the blasphemy of Rykard, or the genocidal imperialism of Queen Marika. Every piece of game lore about Miquella suggests that he genuinely loves his sister Miquella, genuinely wants to free her from the Scarlet Rot, and genuinely wants to be a good lord to his follow

Milicent herself is a woman few words, but you likely will still feel the urge to help her, seeing the ragged state she is in at the beginning. There are quite a few things that make her unique, but the most prominent being the suffering she is forced to bare due to circumstances beyond her control. Thankfully, if you wish, you can support her in this path of hardships until the end, which likely is often the best you can do for anyone in The Lands Betw

The mist being dead souls explains a lot about this Elden Ring mystery . One of the biggest things it helps clarify is what the Lands Between is. Both in the Age of the Duskborn ending and in the prologue of the game, the narrator repeats the line " In our home. Across the Fog. The Lands Between ." This fog is literal, as the distant ocean is obscured in mist all around the Lands Between. Should the mist be souls, it would explain that the Lands Between is some sort of Edenic promised land related to the afterlife. The souls of the Tarnished who were banished were forced to leave, and now that they are no longer touched by Grace, their souls cannot make it back to elden ring story Guide Ring 's mysterious and coveted Erdtree . They instead seem to only come close to it, obscuring the world of gods and the afterlife from the liv

What’s more, the mist being souls explains the few areas in the game where mist exists before the Duskborn ending: the Mistwood and the forest of the Altus Plateau. The Altus Plateau’s woods are directly above where Godwyn is buried, so it would make sense that his curse mark would have infected the area's roots and killed the souls they contained. As for the Mistwood, this is the first area in the game where players have access to the ancient world buried beneath the Lands Between. This ancient world was rejected by Elden Ring 's Golden Order , so it would only make sense that their souls were rejected from the Erdtree and thus smothered the Mistwood in

Most Sorcerer character builds in Elden Ring will have memorized Terra Magica, a sigil-conjuring spell that boosts damage from any spells or magic weapons used within its stationary area of effect. In fact, most players with one-shot Sorcery character builds start by casting Terra Magica, drinking a Flask of Wonderous Physick with Crystal Tears that boost magic damage and briefly eliminate FP consumption, then cast a spell like Comet Azur or Meteorite of Astel to deal continuous damage until Elden Ring 's Graced Tarnished player character runs out of FP. Fewer players make use of the niche Lucidity spell, a one-of-its kind Glintstone Sorcery that cleanses characters of the Sleep and Madness status effects. Finally, the humble Scholar's Shield spell enchants a player character's shield with a magical aura, buffing its ability to block damage to a character's health and po
