This is a rage-filled boss that can make any Bloodborne player completely question the way they have played the game thus far. It requires more dodging than previous bosses and keeps players on their toes. One wrong move can quickly be the end of t

Though it is never actually encountered in-game, The Greater Will is perhaps the most important character in Elden Ring . Of course, calling it a "character" is a bit of a stretch, as The Greater Will is more accurately described as a force of nature. An outer god at the center of all of the game's events, it's hard to tell what The Greater Will's goals may be, and it's hinted several times throughout Elden Ring that it may not be as benevolent as it seems. From Software are known for including Lovecraftian concepts in their games, and The Greater Will is a perfect example of cosmicism adding an incredible amount of depth to a game's l

One other small but interesting detail regarding these characters highlights another parallel between the worlds of Elden Ring and Bloodborne . Eileen’s armor mentions that the first Hunter of Hunters came from a foreign land. Coincidently, Yura originates from the Land of Reeds, making him a foreigner to The Lands Between, like Elden Ring 's Numen . Such details, along with the heavy focus on cosmic, extraterrestrial beings in both games, fuels speculation that the games could take place on different planets in the same unive

Players can encounter the Maris boss Fight guide Astel, Naturalborn of the Void late in the game. Defeating him is not necessary for the game’s main storyline; however, if players want to complete Ranni’s storyline, they must defeat Astel. And beating Elden Ring 's Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is not easy, even for those seasoned Soulsborne players. If players can get close enough to him, they will find he is not that hard, but reaching him is annoy

Elden Ring ** fans __ ** have been blown away by the number of boss encounters in the game, but some of these bosses are annoying. Players who come across these bosses at the appropriate skill level may not have difficulty defeating them. However, there are aspects to their fights that may frustrate even the most experienced Soulsborne pla

In the decaying wilderness of Elden Ring 's Caelid region, players can encounter an ailing red-haired woman named Millicent , suffering and afflicted by a divine contagion called the Scarlet Rot. By giving her an Unalloyed Gold Needle (located in the swamps of Caelid) she implants in her own body, Millicent can drive Elden Ring 's Caelid-centric Scarlet Rot infection into remission, regaining strength and lucidity. Invigorated and newly motivated, Millicent embarks on a quest to discover her origin - a quest that if completed will generate several useful summon signs in the mid-to-late game areas of Elden Ri

Several items in Elden Ring are Easter eggs that refer to FromSoftware’s previous titles. The Sun Realm Shield has intriguing and mysterious ties to an important city in Dark Souls lore, but the drop rate for this shield is incredibly low, so it’s easy for most players to miss. An armor piece called Raptor’s Black Feathers resembles a notable Bloodborne character whose quest line parallels that of a summonable Elden Ring NPC . Scavenger hunt-style puzzles across The Lands Between involve paintings, which also bring to mind one of the most intriguing lore aspects of the Dark Souls franch

Elden Ring’s ties to Bloodborne 's Eileen the Crow run deeper than aesthetic, however. Eileen is known as a Hunter of Hunters, eliminating those who have gone mad and blood drunk from Beast Hunting. Her story has fascinating parallels to a character in Elden Ring named Yura, the Bloody Finger Hunter. He hunts those who have been enthralled by Mohg, The Lord of Blood, and his blood magic. The Bloody Fingers invade the worlds of other Tarnished to defeat them. During his quest line, the Tarnished helps Yura defeat several members of the Bloody Fingers, including the assassin Ravenmo

The logic of the Painted Worlds isn’t fully explained, so much of how they work is merely speculation. One theory is used to suggest how Elden Ring connects to Dark Souls and FromSoftware's other games. At the end of Ashes of Ariandel , the player finds someone called the Painter. She sits in front of a blank canvas awaiting the return of Gael, who will bring the paint she’ll use. After completing The Ringed City , the player acquires this paint, which is actually an item called Blood of the Dark Soul, the description of which says it is " used as pigment [...] to depict a painted world ." When the player gives this to the Painter, she says, " I will assuredly finish the painting. Of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home. " The player never sees the completed painting, but it is theorized that it could be the world of Elden Ring or Bloodbor

Of the many odd characters found in the Roundtable Hold, Fia the Deathbed Companion is perhaps the most perplexing—save for the sentient set of fingers, of course. Offering to hug the player and grant a poise-boosting item in exchange for five percent of their total HP, she seems innocuous enough, but progressing further down her questline reveals that she is not as innocent as she proclaims to
