Many dungeon locations are likely to be uncovered during the extensive exploring most Elden Ring players partake in. However, there are a few difficult-to-find dungeons. Sometimes they are hidden in hard-to-reach places or behind enemies that may be too powerful for the player, which prevents them from going furt

In the world of elden ring Nightreign gladius weakness Ring , filled with hidden dungeons , the mysterious and ambitious Queen Marika the Eternal arguably has the beauty of Galadriel and the ambition of Sauron, using the Elden Ring bestowed upon her to dominate all life in the Lands Between. The dynasty of Demigods Marika established, to her credit, was far more pleasant and prosperous than the blasted, industrial hell of Mordor; still, it was a totalitarian empire built on conquest and genocide, a society where non-humans were cruelly oppressed and dissidents were purged or exiled with brutal efficiency. In the end, even Queen Marika herself was not free, beholden to the divine agenda of the Greater Will of Elden Ring 's Lands Between and obliged to eternally maintain the system she'd crea

Kalé's cut questline reveals more information about the story and lore of Elden Ring 's Three Fingers , like how the people of Leyndell buried it in an attempt to contain the Frenzied Flame. When the merchant sees that the player has embodied the flame of frenzy, he seeks to obtain that power for himself. Kalé claims that the Frenzied Flame can " melt away the curses, suffering and despair " of his people while also destroying the Golden Order. However, when he does access the Three Fingers Kalé is merely burned by the flame, suggesting that the frenzied energy requires a particularly suitable h

With the information currently available in the mainstream, it's difficult to pinpoint an exact title or sequel that might follow Elden Ring . However, there are certain releases that can, given the information provided by Miyazaki and other leaks, be ruled out for the next upcoming FromSoftware launch. Recently, rumors have begun surfacing from alleged insiders, and if they're accurate, they provide a reasonable case for a classic franchise to follow the company's hit Elden Ri

The titular Elden Ring is not a physical artifact, but a conglomeration of golden Runes both great and small, collectively forming a massive, reality-altering hyper-sigil. In the hands of Queen Marika the Eternal, though, the Elden Ring fulfilled the same purpose as Sauron's One Ring, a tool used to impose a new order upon the Lands Between. In the backstory of Elden Ring , Queen Marika and her consort Lord Godfrey used the Elden Ring's power to raise a host of fanatical champions who forge a massive empire through conquest - defeating the lightning-wielding Ancient Dragons of Farum Azula, exterminating the Fire Giants, and forging an armistice with the Carian Sorcerers of the west. At the height of the Golden Order, the loyal subjects of Marika and her consorts were blessed with a golden luster and benefited greatly from the sacred healing magics and life-giving sap provided by the sky-spanning Erdtree and its saplings. The Erdtree and the Elden Ring within it even altered the cycling of transmigration within the Lands Between, drawing dead souls in through its roots to be recorded and eventually reincarnated. In terms of potential alone, the Elden Ring is an order-establishing tool that would, despite it emulating Lord of the Rings , put the One Ring and its power to sh

Often, it seems that to be an NPC in a FromSoftware-developed dark fantasy RPG is to be doomed to a grisly fate. Solaire, the jolly NPC knight who aids players throughout Dark Souls , is fated to fall into despair and death as he searches for his own "personal sun," while half the NPCs in Bloodborne go insane or become bosses themselves. There are (sometimes) ways to keep friendly NPCs in Elden Ring from suffering horrible ends, but the open-world gameplay of this RPG makes it hard to locate the paths leading to the more desirable endi

Given the current readily available information, speculation and prediction has it that the next Armored Core game is in line to be FromSoftware's next release. While neither Miyazaki or any other studio developer has officially confirmed this, recent 2022 leaks show Armored Core 6 is the game that's in the final stages of development at FromSoftware. Red Liquorice claimed, on January 8, to have done a consumer survey regarding a new Armored Core game. The individual didn't mention a title name, so there's no indication of whether it would pick the series back up from Armored Core 5 (2012) or - if the leaks are true - continue to expand on the brand in a different fashion, such as a standalone title or the beginning to a brand-new narrative and thematic thread for the series. Regardless, a new Armored Core game seems believable because it's been nearly a decade since the last one was publis

Kalé's cut questline reveals clever details about the Elden Ring merchant that are otherwise absent from the game itself. While he seems to be a carefree salesman in the base game, the questline paints Kalé as somebody who desires to learn about his roots and the origins of his people. His nomadic tribe is untethered by nature, but Kalé is consumed with a desire to learn where he came from and where his destiny will take him. His journey across the Lands Between also paints him in a more adventurous light, which contrasts with his sedentary lifestyle in the Church of Elleh that Elden Ring typically portr
