For any morally upstanding citizen, the tapping ends there. Only a truly foul person would betray the trust that he placed in them and attack Alexander after unearthing him. Aside from the morality of killing Alexander, doing so will lock the player out of his Elden Ring questline , which grants the Shard of Alexander, one of the best Talismans in the g

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, fromsoftware 2025 release 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

First and foremost, the warrior will aid the Tarnished in the fight against Godrick the Grafted. Also, later on in her questline, Nepheli will provide the Tarnished with a couple of different rewards depending on the path taken. One of the most notable is the Arsenal Charm, which increases the player's equipment load . After all is done the Tarnished will receive two Stormhawk Axes when completing her questline, making killing her actually pointl

The Bloodhound Step is a useful Ash of War in Elden Ring that can be found fairly early in the game. It allows characters to become invisible while dodging at high speeds. It moves faster and farther than a normal quickstep or even rolling. Bloodhound Step is useful for players trying to circle their targets or making sure they get out of the way of a large AOE att

As stressful and exhausting as it is to fight Malenia, she is another boss the Tarnished should feel bad for defeating. She and her brother Miquella were born cursed. An Elden Ring theory for why Malenia becomes a god helps explain the curse the twins were born with. However, the gist of it is Outer Gods targeted the twins in hopes of controlling them if they decide to take their mother’s place as god of the Land’s Between. Malenia is cursed with scarlet rot, which ravaged her body from the inside out and caused her to lose some of her limbs. She is the sickest boss in the g

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

Because of the variety of play styles and the different amounts of Ashes of War, not everyone will agree on which one is the most powerful. And depending on how many times someone has replayed Elden Ring, they may not have been able to try out all of the Ashes of War. Despite the differing views, here are six powerful Ashes of

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

Once he has studied the Knifeprint, he reveals to the Tarnished that Lunar Princess Ranni conducted the rite and was behind the assassination. Because she performed the rite, Rogier explains that she will have the cursemark of Destined Death on her body. Rogier wants the player to find Ranni and get the cursemark. Shortly after this, Rogier will tell Elden Ring 's Tarnished he will soon fall into a deep sleep. He does eventually fall into this sleep. It will take a few visits, but Rogier does eventually

In a cruel irony, the armies of Radahn and Malenia remained undefeated to the very end, for their struggle ended in a catastrophic stalemate where neither side could achieve victory. Radahn, with his fearsome swords and gravitational sorcery, slaughtered the Cleanrot Knights in droves. Malenia, pushed to her limits by Radahn's star-conquering strength, unleashed the divine power of Rot she had for so long restrained, a scarlet flower that flooded the land with virulent toxins and spores. And so one of Elden Ring 's harder regions, Caelid , fell into ruin, its former ecosystem replaced with strange fungal growths, toxic lakes, and mutated organisms. The exhausted Malenia was rushed back to her Halligtree home by the few surviving Cleanrot Knights. General Radahn, his mind and body eroded by the Scarlet Rot, wandered mindlessly along the shores of Caelid, devouring the corpses of friend and foe alike, and the remnants of Radahn's army dedicated their lives to keeping the Scarlet Rot in check via fire magic, flame-thrower tanks, and barriers of molten r
