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

In total, there are fifteen bosses that drop Remembrances after being defeating. Some of them can be earned by playing through the regular storyline, but the others come from optional boss fights that are scattered throughout the various regions of the Lands Between. Remembrances are a way of rewarding players for beating the toughest enemies in the game, which is why - given how hard Elden Ring 's many boss battles can be - there are only a handful of them. What makes them so valuable is what's stored inside of them; the power of the past owner is conjured into these Remembrances as a sort of essence, which the player can either spend and get runes in return, or they can choose to utilize them in a separate way by adopting part of the defeated boss' power into their personal arse

There are a couple of pros to spending Remembrances, and the first one has to do with the ability to purchase any assorted item needed. Upon cashing them in, the spender will receive a considerable sum of runes, and certain ones will give more than others if it was from a tougher boss battle, such as the Elden Ring 's isunderstood hero, Starscourge Radahn . All the Remembrances value between 20,000-50,000 runes. If weapon upgrades are needed, players can use the newly acquired runes to purchase many smithing stones, but it doesn't stop there. Other items like crafting ingredients, weapons and armor, Ashes of War, and magic spells can be bought after turning Remembrances into runes. This becomes especially handy if players are transitioning from an easier region to a harder one or setting out to take on another boss, but the pros of spending Remembrances extenders further than t

The reason not to kill Igon has little to do with gameplay or items. All rewards for completing Igon’s quest can be obtained by directly slaying him where he stands when players first encounter him at the Pillar Path Waypoint Site of Grace. No, the reason to keep Igon alive is to hear one of the best voice lines in all of Elden Ring , delivered by Igon when he is summoned to exact his revenge upon Bayle. Not to mention that Bayle is an incredibly difficult boss, especially without someone like Igon to draw aggro away from the Tarnis

Maybe not the most annoying Ash of War for PVP, like the Carian Retaliation instakill bug in Elden Ring , it can be annoying for PVP players. However, the best part of Bloodhound Step is it can be applied to any melee armament. And the low FP cost makes it a valuable skill to try out. To get this Ash of War, Ironeye build the Tarnished must defeat the Nights Cavalry located on the bridge near Lenne’s Rise in Dragonbar

This Ash of War can be tricky to use because sometimes the phantom or player can miss their target. The player can be interrupted during the move set, but the phantom cannot be interrupted. Phantom Slash is dropped by the Night’s Cavalry in Elden Ring . Players can go northeast of the Forbidden Lands site of grace to encounter the boss. This can be applied to twinblades, spears, halberds, and reap

Later, this gesture can be used to solve a tricky puzzle in the Converted Fringe Tower. By performing the gesture while wearing a Glintstone Crown, players can uncover a secret door that leads to two particularly powerful Sorceries, Cannon of Haima and Gavel of Ha

Dragonkin are impressive and intimidating dragon humanoids, yet they are not very powerful. Two can be found in the Lake of Rot and Siofra. There is also a stronger variant called Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella found in Elden Ring . It is implied that the dragonkin’s relationship with the underground cities of Nokstella and Nokron, caused their decline. They are described as "decrepit, pale imitations" of other dragons. __ Something about the dragonkin living underground caused them to never achieve immortality or know what real lightning is . Killing them is easy and maybe mercy, but it can still leave a bitter ta

When used, the player character will thrust their armament into the ground, and an AOE will appear around them. This AOE not only damages enemies but pulls them closer to the player. Gravitas can be applied to all **Elden Ring ** melee armaments except whips and small armame
