One of the many fantasy-genre similarities between Elden Ring and other gothic adventure Games like Skyrim is how important swordplay is as a mechanic. The biggest complaint of the Claymore is how powerful it actually is, so while pledging to fight without it is a valiant effort, it's understandable how high the temptation is to use the sword when nee

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

Players can encounter the boss 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

Players will easily lose track of Patches after summoning him, though. Once he catches sight of the enormous Starscourge Radahn, he immediately cancels his own summoning and returns home. It's an on-brand move for Patches, and one - given the threat Radahn poses - he can't really be blamed

As it happens, there's an absolute treasure trove of hilarious in-game moments captured by Redditors and many could justifiably be called the best of the subreddit, but these ten certainly have earned their spots among the funni

Not many players of Elden Ring ever get the chance to summon the NPC called The Dung Eater for a boss fight, mainly because unlocking his summon signs require completing one of the darkest and most evil quests in the game. Personality-wise, the Dung Eater is a piece of work, obsessed with murdering people and defiling their corpses in order to infect them with a curse that will follow their souls from reincarnation to reincarnation. The Dung Eater's quest-line only moves forward if the player brings Seedbed Curses to his physical form, located within a prison in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell, Royal Capi

Other characters and even armor sets have captivated Elden Ring players, and one of those is the Bloody Wolf set. During the Elden Ring network tests, the Bloody Wolf armor was one of the main sets that was shown off to players. However, it wasn't until the game actually launched that players realized just how hard it was to obtain it, but that's what makes it one of the best outfits to wear; in addition to the looks, it's one of the most well-rounded armor sets in the game for both quick maneuvering and defense. One cosplayer, Majed Alkanderi , showed off their appreciation for the Bloody Wolf through an Elden Ring cosplay video released on Twitter, which detailed a two-month period of work. Majed's cosplay is still one of the best Elden Ring costumes to d

However, the death of Godwyn the Golden poses a potential challenge to this theory. On the Night of the Black Knives, Ranni’s physical form died while Godwyn’s soul form perished. Godwyn was supposedly Marika’s favorite child, and, from some perspectives, his death is one of the reasons she tried to destroy the Elden Ring, which led to a Elden Ring 's brutal war known as The Shattering . In other words, it’s unclear why Marika would help or recruit Ranni if it would mean the death of her favorite child. One possible explanation is that Ranni accepted Marika’s help with the intention of betraying her, but there is no solid evide

Cosplay has been a part of gaming culture for decades. It's a way for fans to bring their favorite fictional characters out into the real world, and the most dedicated cosplayers remain faithful to the particular character's design down to the smallest details. FromSoftware games are known for their unique characters and Soulslike fanbase, and Elden Ring has quickly built on top that with an even bigger audience of individuals who've continued the tradition of creating art through cosplay and other mediums. Elden Ring 's success compared to other FromSoftware games has certainly played a role in hyping the player-created artwork since its release in February of 2022. As time passes, the fanbase will continue to grow, and more cosplay costumes will be created alongside

If players want a multiplayer experience, Elden Ring also offers that option. While engaging in combat with non-AI-controlled opponents can add a level to gameplay, having real-life competitors means they have the option of not accepting the fight. This happened to x_-AssGiblin-

Elden Ring still garners a massive, dedicated following almost five months after release, and its subreddit currently boasts more than 1.5 million users. With that many fans on the site, there's bound to be plenty of funny hijinks not only engaged in, but also shared with the entire commun
