Ubisoft, the company known for developing games such as the Assassin's Creed franchise, have recently been known for their excessive user interface. Elden Ring , on the other hand, has a very minimalist setup, made for more immersion and real

However, he did find an alternative treatment, if imperfect. Miquella crafted an unalloyed gold needle that could treat the Scarlet Rot and keep it at bay. An unalloyed gold needle is also what's given to the Tarnished by the elderly sage Gowry to, in turn, give to Millicent in Caelid to treat her

Adding a Ubisoft-like UI to Elden Ring truly displays how different the game is from others when realizing how bare it is with the absence of a mini-map and text directions/objectives. For the tooltips a game might normally provide, users have looked online for helpful Elden Ring game mechanics inst

Elden Ring has an outstanding visual appearance, and many of the players who had already conquered the Dark Souls franchise likely made the Elden Ring gameplay look easy on streams and videos. But when the average player downloaded the game, it was a bit of a different st

Remembering to take breaks from Elden Ring , or any game for that matter, is very important. But the joke in this user's meme is a long-running bit among the Dark Souls franchise community where any four-legged creature is called a

On the surface, Marika’s title, The Eternal, can mean that, since she is a vassal of the Greater Will in Elden Ring 's Lands Between , she is to live eternally. It may also be a reference to the long lives of the Numen. However, it could also indicate that she is of the Eternal City. If this is indeed the meaning behind the moniker, Marika would likely have to hide this fact because of the feud between the Greater Will and the

Taking on the role of the Dragonborn to stop Alduin from ushering in a draconic rapture is perhaps even more addicting on Steam Deck. Its deep mod support and free-flowing character progression system will make tackling the land's plethora of content and creating unique builds easier to pick up and play -- even if it's another run at being a stealthy arc

Elden Ring’s DLC has enormous potential to expand the lore of its most enigmatic characters and their effect on the Lands Between. Even if they don’t appear in the upcoming expansion, there is much to explore that might be featured in future DLCs or even a sequel to **Elden Ring ** . Until then, the community is left to speculate about the backstories and future of these charact

Nox, translated from Latin, means "night." The Nox, wanting revenge on The Greater Will, sought to forge their Lord of Night with the use of Mimic Silver Tears. These are fluid beings that make up Elden Ring 's most overpowered Spirit Ashes , and can take on a multitude of forms. They are often seen as silver blobs but also appear as Nightfolk, one of the selectable races in the character creation menu. The Mimic Tear Ashes and Silver Tear Husk item descriptions explain the Nox’s attempts to create a lord. It isn’t clear whether or not they succeeded, but if they had, the Nox wanted this lord to bring about the Age of Stars and overthrow the Greater W

Scattered across The Lands Between are seven paintings that are tied to scavenger hunt quests. These puzzles require the player to find the locations from which each painting was made. When the correct places are found, the player will discover Wandering Artist Spirits. Upon interaction with the spirits, they drop a unique item and disappear. Fans of the Dark Souls series will almost certainly think of the Painted Worlds whenever they come across interact-able paintings in FromSoftware’s Soulsborne gam

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, Xbox PC integration 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

Elden Ring has been released to resounding critical acclaim, and on top of the enriching open-world design and gameplay, FromSoftware's vintage brand of subtle dark-fantasy storytelling surrounding its characters has been loved by longtime f

The intersections of Marika’s plans with those of the Nox and Ranni provide enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that Marika may be the lord the Nox tried to forge with the Silver Tears. If she truly is a Mimic, this also explains her ability to transform into Radagon. The plots these individuals set forth have been in play long before the events of **Elden Ring ** . When the player Tarnished arrives in The Lands Between, they will have a crucial role in the outcome of these plans. Assuming the player chooses Ranni’s Age of Stars ending, it's possible Marika and the Nox will be proven victori
