While it might seem to be parasitic, the relationship between Miquella and his Haligtree is actually more symbiotic. In Elden Ring , Miquella's cocoon is the only form in which he's seen. Mohg, as someone obsessed with Miquella, cuts him out of the Haligtree and takes him away, and due to this, both the Haligtree and Miquella suffer, displaying their symbiotic relationship. The Haligtree is not a parasite, and it's unfortunate that its potential is never realized due to Mohg's actions. Since Miquella's status is unknown, if he's alive, it's possible that he might try to salvage the Haligtree, or he might start over if it can't be sa

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

Intelligence and sorcery-focused magic builds are understandably the more popular routes for players in Elden Ring. However, for those that choose to experiment with both Intelligence and Arcane -- with a focus on the latter -- the Albinauric Staff is a solid cho

Primarily coupled with a rider, the Flame Chariots are huge, swift foes that spit fire and are always found within Hero's Grave Dungeons. Backstabbing its driver is the one surefire way to reap its extravagant rewards, which is tricky since they tend to linger by wa

This list of Elden Ring 's most substantial nerfs goes to show just how dramatic the 1.03 update was for the game. Not only did the old strategies that were popularized upon launch fade away, but Arcane builds rose to dominate the meta. Hopefully FromSoftware and Bandai Namco can someday reverse this with future nerfs to revitalize _Elden Ring _ 's gamep

Ranni the Witch has also had her fair share or fan-made cosplays. In much of the same way Malenia is adored, Ranni is too, but she possesses more of a mysterious side that intrigues players rather than a fierce warrior-like persona. Ranni was one of the first Elden Ring characters to get attention online, and many theories about exactly who she was and what kind of role she played in the grand story were passed around. It's no surprise that she is a fan favorite, and even the famed cosplayer, Jessica Nigri , showed her love for the character on Twitter by turning heads with an Elden Ring Ranni cosplay . Since then, many fans have created their own Ranni cosplay, but Jessica's remains the most well-known, and it might be the costume that has the most traction out of any ot

Bred for combat, Warhawks fly high above the battlefield with their feet of blades threatening to strike at those below. They become easier to deal with as the game goes on but are frequently encountered before abilities that work well against them are unloc

Rotten Strays are the most galling of the common ones, though all Dog-types will actively hunt the player far distances, even if not attacked. Some Dogs, like the Rotten Stray, have status effects that chip away health and make it twice as tasking at the very least to defeat these disgusting bea

**Elden Ring ** has taken the gaming world by storm, not only by providing one of the best open-world experiences of the generation, but also by having some of the best cosplayers imitate its famous characters. Perhaps some of the more comical ones are built by players in-game, such as the George R.R. Martin and Miyazaki Elden Ring cosplay duo, but the more serious creations are personally worn by dedicated fans willing to travel to events. Indeed, the best cosplay costumes are almost identical - sometimes with more detail - than the characters themsel

As far as jack-of-all-trades staffs in Elden Ring go, the Carian Regal Scepter might be the best of the bunch. As one might expect from such a weapon, it has a daunting Intelligence requirement of 60, but the payoff is arguably worth the trou

This ending signals that Melina will return as a boss fight in Elden Ring’s DLC . The only issue with this may be the element of player choice. Not all players decide to go the route of the Frenzied Flame, and requiring this ending to access the DLC isn’t likely. The closest FromSoftware has come to a DLC that references the player’s choice is Dark Souls 3: Infernoplus Eldenwind Ashes of Ariandel . In this case, the only thing that changes is a line of dialogue spoken by Sister Friede if the player has chosen the Usurpation of Fire ending. Elden Ring’s choices feel more consequential than that, however. So it's improbable that Melina’s role in the DLC will be reduced to a few lines of dialo

As hard as the pests are to counter when using even the best weapons melee builds in Elden Ring , fighting them from a distance proves even more difficult. With barbed spines that dart towards their target at an alarming rate, Lesser Kindred of Rot have no problem hitting their target. When in groups, they become increasingly dangerous the more of them there
