There are a couple of lions here as enemies and not much apart from a few characters, a missable duo boss fight, and Radahn himself. Despite the lack of activities within this area, visiting the place from time to time (or for the first time) is always a pleasure due to the hauntingly impressive music and scen

For those of you who can resist instant gratification and want to reap more rewards later on, talking to Yura instead of killing him when you encounter him north of Murkwater is the better deal overall. Finishing his questline will not only reward the Nagakiba but will also lead to unlocking other weapons and items such as:

Updated August 12, 2024, by Hamza Haq: Exploration in Elden Ring remains one of its strongest selling points in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, allowing players to explore a vast open world that's not afraid to hide things from the player, demanding thorough exploration to reveal all its secrets. Legacy Dungeons are the perfect examples of this phenomenon, showcasing FromSoftware's mastery of world-building in the form of large, sprawling dungeons to get lost

In a sense, Legacy Dungeons are where players stop procrastinating. In stark contrast to the overworld where players can lick their wounds and farm Runes to get stronger, Legacy Dungeons are where they prove their grinding and exploration's worth. But not all Legacy Dungeons are well-designed or fair challenges. Some are preferable to oth

With this mod, summoning becomes better in many ways. They don't disappear after a boss and can be summoned multiple times without players having to rest. As a cherry on top, s.t.a.l.k.e.r. clear sky players can summon help in locations where they weren't permitted, which can make for some interesting combat scenarios in their own ri

The Nagakiba is the more genetically blessed sibling of the Uchigatana ; it inherited the tall genes in the Elden Ring katana family. For Tarnished who want the short and simple version of obtaining this long katana, there are four methods they can use to obtain it:

This essentially unlocks Elden Ring 's multiplayer into a complete experience. At the time of writing, the mod is in its testing phases; the game isn't done yet with its updates and patches, after all. So players should expect some bugs and glitches associated with using this

Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame continues the trend of excellent bosses in lackluster dungeons. The fight is fair, with telegraphed attacks that can be anticipated and dodged with the proper response time but the musical score going on in the background is one of the best in the

Updated August 20, 2024, by Hamza Haq: Despite being touted as the easiest FromSoftware game to date, the challenges in Elden Ring are no less than any of the Dark Souls games, as proven by the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC . Players looking to make their journey through the Lands Between a little easier by using mods have plenty of options at their fingertips. From mods that increase the player's own strength to those that reduce the effectiveness of the enemies, there is something for every

Again, this isn’t exactly a necessity for this build, but certain tears can help compliment the overall strategy. The first is the Spiked Cracked Tear , which further enhances consecutive attacks while the physic is active. The other is the Cerulean Hidden Tear ; this one eliminates all FP consumption while active, so players can use it at the beginning of the battle and summon Black Knife Tiche Ashes for free. One could also probably get a few hits too, before it wears off. These won’t necessarily be the go-to choices for every fight, but they do at least consistently offer more attack power and allow for a summon that may or may not be impossible otherwise, depending on how many points one has in the Mind stat.

Lake of Rot and the city of Nokstella were probably awesome on paper. In practice, it's just players skipping the content by running past them in order to avoid Scarlet Rot and all the tedious enemies. While the city of Nokstella is rewarding thanks to enemies that drop Larval Tear, the Lake of Rot area is neither fun nor challeng

The other useful Spirit Ash is the Black Knife Tiche Ashes . Bosses have a difficult time hitting her, and her ranged attack drains health for a certain percentage. She can drain bosses for a stupid amount of damage if they leave her alone for too long. There are two main drawbacks to using her, though. The first is that she’s expensive to summon, requiring around 132 FP. The second is that she doesn’t draw aggro as often, so players will need to be more careful about avoiding hits. If she sounds useful, though, she can be obtained by defeating Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader in the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia (accessed by progressing Ranni's questline ).

Weapon buffs can turn the tide of battle in a flash, but some of these armaments are so powerful that FromSoftware balances things by not letting players buff these weapons. Similar buffs can be applied to the player via spells too, but these buffs are temporary and require multiple casts to remain intact, which can be challenging in the heat of bat
