However, the Moonveil was shadow nerfed in Elden Ring ’s 1.03 update. The health damage, poise damage, and range of Transient Moonlight were all decreased, with the poise damage being significantly nerfed. This change forced players into situation where if they wanted to break someone’s poise, they would have to hit with both the katana and moonbeam with Transient Moonlight. This practically made the sword a slightly better katana with Unsheathe - a far less attractive option. And because patch 1.03 was the same patch that fixed Arcane scaling in Elden Ring and Eldenringfans.Com thus made Rivers of Blood overpowered, the Moonveil largely fell out of favor despite not being the worst kat

The Plunger and Toilet Cover mod turns the player into the toxic avenger. It's hilarious how much these modern items clash with the fantasy aesthetic of the world. However, there's also something powerful about someone who wields them. It's especially fun when a mere plunger can vanquish the Elden Beast its

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 player's legend would be spread online and become a meme. It grew to be so big that YouTuber "Garden Of Eyes" turned Let Me Solo Her into a summon . It feels awesome to have this powerful character besides the player, especially with their dress. Unfortunately, it is currently only available through the YouTuber's Patr

Hoarfrost Stomp was Elden Ring ’s second most effective gimmick and the best tool for speed runners. The Ash of War, which enables players to stomp on the ground and send a wave of ice damage in front of them, could be used by low-level players to eliminate bosses with ease. This is because Hoarfrost Stomp dealt significant damage, cost little FP, had a huge area of effect, was very fast, and staggered opponents. This last facet of the Ash of War was perhaps its best quality, as the stagger allowed speed runners to keep bosses from hitting them while they could just spam Hoarfrost Stomp. YouTuber Schlechtelaunetyp shows just how strong this is even at the beginning of the g

**Elden Ring ** features tons of references and nods to FromSoftware’s previous games. The infamous NPC Patches is notable, though many players are aware of his presence and know it as something of a recurring joke. However, several Easter eggs fuel the continuous speculation on a connection between the universes of Elden Ring , Bloodborne , and the Dark Souls series. There's no definitive proof that any of these share a continuity, but Elden Ring 's Easter eggs supply compelling implicati

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

Elden Ring 's 1.03 patch thought bosses should have more of a chance, though, and drastically reduced the effectiveness of Hoarfrost Stomp. The patch notes share that the move's casting time and FP cost were increase while its area of effect was decreased. This rendered its staggering effect useless, as bosses and players alike could close in on a Hoarfrost Stomp user and attack in between the usages of the no-longer-spammable Ash of

Found sneaking about in almost every catacomb, these unavoidable enemies are full of heinous tricks and usually hunt in packs, making them consistently annoying throughout the game. Their attacks even pack an extra punch by causing bleed dam

Lastly, the Abductor Virgins are iron maiden enemies that come in two surprisingly long weapon variants, bladed pendulums, and circular saws. They are just as fast as they are tank-like, both types being a plague to the player and daunting to def

Anor Londo's name is likely an adoption of a language created by J.R.R. Tolkien in Lord of the Rings , and can roughly be translated as " Land of the Sun ." If Elden Ring and Dark Souls were connected, the Sun Realm Shield could be an artifact from when Anor Londo basked in the sunlight. Though this is likely just an obscure Easter egg for fans, it does present the interesting idea that the events of the Dark Souls series could have happened long ago in Elden Ring ’s timel
