When creating character builds during a campaign, players of Elden Ring who don't want to rely on Glintstone Sorceries or Incantations still have access to a wide variety of ranged weapons drawn from both history and fantasy. There are short recurved bows designed to be used on horseback, long-bows and Great Bows made for ranged sniping, crossbows that can be fired one-handed, and even two primitive firearms – the archaic-looking Jar Cannon and the One-Eyed Shield with its flame-spiting mouth mor

When creating an Elden Ring character , players can choose from a set of default physical templates. One of these templates is called Numen, a race of people described as " supposed descendants of denizens of another world. Long-lived but seldom born ." The shaggy hair and sharp brow of this character template bears a strong resemblance to modern day reconstructions of Neanderthals, an ancient subspecies of archaic human from the Stone Age. Rather than being brutish primitives, however, the Numen of Elden Ring seem to occupy the same role as elves do in other fantasy RPGs - that is, humanoids of low fertility, long lifespans, and deep wells of wisdom and knowle

One of the most emblematic rare weapons in Elden Ring is the Magma Blade , a unique curved sword that deals with physical and fire damage. This blade scales primarily with Strength and Faith. In addition, it has a special weapon art, Magma Shower, that spews magma around the user, enabling players to manipulate the battlefield by creating pockets of lava. Although many players prefer to use this weapon with a full Strength build, leveling up Faith in Elden Ring can make it extremely deadly, as it dramatically increases its fire damage, including that of the Magma Shower weapon
