Elden Ring is much more forgiving in this sense, with The Lands Between pretty generously offering a myriad of Sites of Grace. Of course, that's partly required if the Souls -like formula is to fill out a vast open-world g

SteelRising is the latest game from Spiders Games, the same developers behind Greedfall and The Technomancer . Set in an alternative 1789 Paris, the player controls an automaton named Aegis as she attempts to stop a mechanical army from taking over the French capi

Underrated weapons in Elden Ring can be very powerful, especially with the different affinity types and Ashes of War. This gives many players, regardless of their build, the ability to use the same weapons. However, there are underrated weapons with specific skills and bonuses that will benefit only one or two types of bui

It's not a knock on the older Demon's Souls -- and its remake by extension -- as by normal mainstream standards, all of FromSoftware's Souls-like games are tough in their own ways. However, it becomes apparent coming back from Elden Ring -- or even Bloodborne and Sekiro -- that boss encounters in Demon's Souls are simpler by des

The Raptor Talons are one of few claw weapons in Elden Ring . From an aesthetic point of view, claws are cool; they give a Wolverine vibe to the player's character. The Raptor Talons are one of the more underrated weapons in the game because they scale very high in Dexterity and can be infused with powerful Elden Ring Ashes of War to allow a wide variety of builds. However, the best part about the Raptor Talons is jumping attacks deal increased dam

Great Stars is a great hammer in Elden Ring that scales in Strength and Dexterity. While it is a bludgeoning weapon, the sharp spikes cause 55 blood loss. And, unlike other weapons in Elden Ring , successful attacks slightly restore a player’s HP, which also works with multi-hit weapon a

In that case, the Godskins might be able to use the power of Destined Death once more for their black flame incantations since it's not made clear if the Gloam-Eyed Queen needs to be alive for the Godskins to wield the god-slaying black flames again. Due to these variables, the status of the Godskins past the end of Elden Ring is unclear. Although, their return to killing gods and the return of the Gloam-Eyed Queen could make for interesting DLC cont

When used, the dung pies inflict the Toxic status on the enemy, but also on the player. This makes using them a dangerous double-edged sword. While it's tough, it is possible to beat the game while using the Dung Pies almost exclusively. This is one stinky weapon that cannot be taken seriously in and out of the ga

Before it was sealed in Maliketh's blade, the Godskins drew power from Destined Death for their black flames. These black flames that used the power of Destined Death were able to kill any god with which they came in contact because the black flames were the embodiment of Destined Death before it was sealed by Maliketh. Given the use of this power and the description of Destined Death, the Godskins likely see themselves as keepers of the natural order, with the Gloam-Eyed Queen leading them in their efforts to preserve said order. However, some of them abused this power, and it resulted in their def

Before they became infamous with the first two Life Is Strange games and other narrative-based adventure titles, Don't Nod's first entered the video game industry with Remember Me . Set in a futuristic Paris, Nillin must reclaim her lost memories and battle the forces of a sinister corporation known as Memor

Thanks to Melina, players aren't maidenless in Elden Ring , but she also gives the player a lot of information about the Lands Between and its history, including key information about Destined Death that helps when trying to understand the Godskins and their motivations. She says that Destined Death is death indiscriminate. Since death will come to all things regardless of their status, the Godskins are maintaining the natural order of the Lands Between by killing gods and demig

However, with that comes new mechanics for the developer in how moment-to-moment traversal works. As simple as it sounds, having a dedicated jump button in Elden Ring greatly expands the element of exploration and verticality in an open world, as well as having a mount capable of double jumping while venturing through The Lands Betw

Dark Souls has a lot of strong weapons , but the whip doesn't really rank among them. Unlike other dark fantasy video games like Castlevania , the whip in Dark Souls 1 isn't really meant for fighting. Elden Ring has some strong whips, but Dark Souls 1 is far removed from that. Instead, this whip is mainly useful for grabbing thi

The opening cinematic of Elden Ring nightreign Ring further identifies Godfrey/Hoarah Loux as " Chieftain of the Badlands ," while the item descriptions for the Champion's Set armor pieces expound on how " the brave warriors of the badlands shun excess adornment " __ in emulation of their chieftain. In-game, the character of Godfrey never discusses his life in the Badlands (which hopefully won't be Elden Ring's DLC setting ), but the NPC Nepheli Loux , a distant relation of Godfrey and axe-wielding warrior, shares a lot about her life in dialogue with the player. In the Village of the Albinaurics, Nepheli recounts a grim slaughter she witnessed as a child, describing it as " The oppression of the weak. Murder and pillage unchecked. A waking nightmare, made by men. " __ Throughout her quest line, she refers to the " wind " as a divine force of nature and the " storm " as a force of cleansing justice. These words and others suggest that the Badlands are a harsh, desolate place, wind-swept like Stormveil and full of marauders who use their strength to take from the w
