After reaching Anor Londo, city of the gods, Dark Souls players will encounter the deadly double boss fight of Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough. In contrast to Ornstein, a sword-spear wielding knight with lightning powers and leonine armor, Executioner Smough is a frustrating Dark Souls boss that wields a brutally large hammer and wears armor designed to mimic the contours of a portly
Corpses in chairs often look out at picturesque things and have keys. North along the cliffside from the Ainesl River Well is one such corpse. It is also almost due east from the Ruined Labyrinth Site of Grace for those having a hard time seeing where it's perc
This underrated Elden Ring Bosses Ring weapon seems to be a direct shout-out to Pinwheel, an eerie (but easy to defeat) boss found in the skeleton-infested Catacombs area of Dark Souls . Like the Family Heads flail, Pinwheel has three masked heads modeled after a family unit and fights by summoning projectiles of f
The latest update for Elden Ring , Patch 1.07, has drawn a fairly positive reaction from its player-base for several reasons. First, this patch has added two types of damage scaling to the game weapons and spells - one for enemies in the game's open world, the other for player versus player combat. Second, this patch greatly improves the balance of the game by buffing weaker weapons, skills, and spells rather than weakening the strongest of them. Thanks to this design choice, players of Elden Ring who gravitate towards high-tier spells won't have to rework their character builds, while players interested in the narratively flavorful schools of magic discussed below won't be penalized as m
Head to Murkwater Cave to visit an old familiar face. Here Tarnished will encounter Patches and have to make the infamous choice of death or keeping him around despite him literally trying to kill them. Keeping him 'alive' after the fight will give players a chance to buy a key for 5000 Runes. If you kill him, he drops Patches' Bell Bearing which can be given to the Twin Maiden Husks to still buy his Stonesword
The Rosebud variant of this Splicer located in the first game has haunting voice lines to match her drug-riddled decrepit appearance. From her voice lines, it appears that she is searching for her daughter that has been turned into a Little Sis
Though this is only speculation, it provides the best explanation for what happens in the Age of the Duskborn ending. Furthermore, it clarifies important facets about the Lands Between that otherwise have no explanation yet. Even so, true confirmation for what the mist is will likely remain another **Elden Ring ** myst
The Savage Deviljho monsters are not in every Monster Hunter game but start appearing in many of them after they make their first appearance in Monster Hunter 3. The Savage Deviljho looks like a giant tadpole mixed with a really powerful T. Rex. One of the most engrossing features of these monsters is the teeth that surround the front of their mou
**Elden Ring ** and its sheer diversity of Sorcery and Incantation spells available in Elden Ring has somewhat inevitably led to players classifying some spells as underpowered or suboptimal. That said, the recent 1.07 patch has "buffed" many of game's infrequently used spells, __ giving once-ignored Incantations like Scarlet Aeonia or Sorceries like Briars of Sin or Explosivie Ghostflame a new chance to sh
RPGs do a good job of adding variety to the different characters that they present to the player and because of this, there are plenty that are sure to give some players a good fright. These can range anywhere from malicious cybernetic gangs to monsters that a player will encounter on their jour
Poisoned by lust for power and crippled by the seductive serpent's whisper, Lord Rykard permitted the Immortal Great Serpent to consume his body, allowing him to take on the form of Rykard, Lord of Blasph
Fia’s ending in _Elden Ring _ raises more questions than answers. Also known as the "Age of the Duskborn," Fia’s ending causes a mist to descend onto the Lands Between. Given Fia’s association with Godwyn the Prince of Death, players have suspected that this mist represents - and even causes - the end of immortality in the Lands Between. However, diving deeper into the lore behind the Duskborn ending makes it clear this is not the whole story behind this mysterious m
The return of death suggests a lot about the mist in the Duskborn ending. The Rune of the Death-Prince has a dramatic effect on the appearance of the Erdtree in Fia's deathly ending to Elden Ring . The Erdtree becomes pallid and barren and emanates the mysterious mist. In this way, it seems that the Death-Rune causes the Erdtree to die. This is a huge deal, as the Erdtree absorbs the souls of those touched by Grace, allowing them to live eternally. Thus, if the Erdtree dies, so too do the souls that live in it. This then suggests that the mist that emanates from the Erdtree is actually the dead souls that were once a part of the living Erdt
