Highroad Cave is a tricky but valuable dungeon to find in the Stormhill region of Limgrave. Its location hidden near the Sainstbridge Site of Grace makes this cave easy to miss, and the darkness once inside makes it hard to navigate. Highroad Cave contains Wolves, Giant Bats, Land Octopuses, and the Guardian Golem boss. This is where Elden Ring 's Shamshir is found , along with the Blue Dancer Ch

To escape the prison she'd forged around herself, Marika resorted to dark schemes of destruction. She stripped Grace from her consort Lord Godfrey and sent him into exiled with the other Tarnished. She persuaded Lunar Princess Ranni to steal a fragment of Destined Death from Maliketh the Black Blade, then imbued that stolen power into a series of Black Knives she gifted to Numen assassins from her old homeland. These Black Knife Assassins were dispatched to murder Marika's own eldest son, Godwyn the Golden, along with several more of her Demigod children in the Lands Between. Finally, Queen Marika the Eternal shattered the Elden Ring , instigated the war known as the Shattering, and set in motion a conspiracy to have one of the Tarnished slay the god she drew her own power from. For this act of treachery, she was imprisoned in the Erdtree, crucified by the Elden Beast, and reduced to a literal hollow shell of hers

FromSoftware, a company originally started in Tokyo, Japan for the creation of business application software, released its first game, King's Field , in 1994. Since the studio's first video game launch, it has released a title every year (sometime multiple), at least until the relesae of Elden Ring , it's latest. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice launched in March of 2019, but Elden Ring didn't come until February of 2022 - about three years later. FromSoftware confirmed multiple new projects are in the works that are going to be released within the coming years. If the studio follows a consistent release schedule as it has in the past, the gaming community could see a new release next year. If it's anywhere near as big a project as Elden Ring , early 2024 might be a more accurate estimate, but either way, the next game is in its final stages of development despite its name having remained a mystery until

Ranni, Fia, and Rogier are three NPCs the Tarnished can encounter in the Elden Ring . Fia is found in the Roundtable Hold, while one of Elden Ring Co-Op Mod Ring 's best-supporting characters Rogier can first be found in Stormveil castle and will later move to the Roundtable Hold. Ranni is first encountered at the Church of Elleh, but there she goes by the name Renna. While each NPC has personal questlines and motives, the three NPCs' questlines intersect at various poi

" One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them. One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them ," is the inscription written on the golden One Ring forged by Sauron, who yearned for an artifact that could control other magical Rings and amplify his already formidable powers of domination and control. Three other Rings of Power seen in The Lord Of The Rings - the three elven rings carried by Gandalf (who will appear in LOTR: Gollum ) , Elrond, and Galadriel - are theoretically capable of conjuring forth storms of wind, fire, and water, but their primary functions are to preserve life and bring order to the lands and people of Middle Earth. Elrond and Galadriel use their Rings to effectively freeze their Elven homelands in time and protect them from the ravages of age and malice, while Gandalf uses his Ring to inflame hope and valor in the hearts of those who seek to defeat the Dark Lord and his despair-spreading wrai

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

In the world of Elden 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

There's a strange assumption baked into both these arguments - namely, that players must be able to play a video game through to the end in order to get enjoyment out of it. Fundamentally, Elden Ring is designed to be a game where the journey is more important than the destination - a game where losing a fight isn't a failure, but an opportunity to learn, experiment, discover, or use lateral thinking in order to surpass Elden Ring' s hardest boss battles or personal barriers of inexperience. Even if a player doesn't beat every single boss or uncover every single secret, it's still possible for them to enjoy every single challenge they overcome within **Elden Ring ** 's game world, without needing to worry about whether they prescribed to the imaginary "correct" way to play or
