Hi there 🤖 👋

Some FromSoftware games, like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, has a pause button to let players stop everything that’s going on in the world, but other titles don’t have the option at all, and Elden Ring sort of falls into that category. The developers may not have included a standard way to pause Elden Ring, but fans have found a workaround for players.

So in order to maximize those Stonesword Keys in Elden Ring, make sure to prioritize unlocking these places first. They contain either useful meta items or lead to some big, secret places....

As players venture into The Lands Between, they’ll find clues that reveal the history of the Eternal Cities of Elden Ring. Some Elden Ring characters, like Master Iji, call them twin cities, indicating they share a common heritage and culture.

Elden Ring PvP is deceptively simple, providing a system that can prove difficult to master. Merely utilizing the same equipment that felled deities may not necessarily be sufficient to dominate the field against other players. Across FromSoftware titles, techniques have been discovered and developed upon in an attempt to provide an edge for knowledgeable players. One such ploy is known as Hard-Swap, which is the act of opening the equipment menu in order to change an equipped weapon in the middle of combat....

Both the initial rumor and the recent backpedal come from GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb, an industry insider and usually reliable source, who included the initial planned March showcase in his “Summer Game Mess” timeline of industry events and announcements running into the summer.

Elden Ring’s first substantial patch, 1.03, introduced new labels on the map that indicate where previously encountered NPCs are. This has likely aided players who have had trouble trying to find where NPCs were last seen, such as merchants and other people of interest, but Elden Ring’s ordinary markers are still helpful for players who assign their own significance and meaning to them. However, waypoint beacons have the tendency to cause frustration for some players, as one fan has recently lamented....

Some of these dragons are among the most challenging bosses in Elden Ring, like Dragonlord Placidusax and Borealis, the Freezing Fog. Players spend countless hours trying to defeat these gigantic beasts to get their hands on exciting rewards and thousands of runes.

However, one Elden Ring player has found a neat way to defeat this dragon boss using a brilliant technique....

Fans have shown off plenty of interesting Elden Ring characters thus far, ranging from real life people like Snoop Dogg to video game characters like Metal Gear Solid 5’s Venom Snake. While these designs are usually shared online by their creators right after they have been made, sometimes they are only spotted in-game by those engaging with co-op or PvP. This has led to some unexpected encounters with player-made Tarnished like Big Maliketh and Fat Malenia, and now, a lucky Reddit user has stumbled upon the Mad Titan Thanos....

In the trailer, the New Zealand-native Adesanya offers words of encouragement, fortifying those enduring the notoriously difficult title. Intercut with high-octane segments of gameplay, it works as an interesting, strangely motivational exploration of The Lands Between. The final segment of the roughly minute-long advertisement shows the game’s logo emblazoned over the fighter’s right eye, a potential callback to the bleeding eye of Godwyn shown in an earlier Elden Ring trailer....

The disturbing monsters of Elden Ring are found everywhere, not just in the dark and gloomy places. While many are disturbing based on design, from visual aspects to the sounds they make, there’s also the heavy lore behind some of them. Many are commonly found, while others have the distinction of a boss health bar.

While no spoilers will be posted for obvious reasons, it has been revealed by many outlets that Elden Ring’s opening cinematic has been unofficially published. While this video in itself may not pose too much of a threat where major spoilers are concerned, many fans will surely only want to experience this cinematic on their own when booting up the game for the first time.

These Spirits are often based on enemies using abilities that the player can’t use or may not be built for, widening the player’s options. With their variety, they can supplement any build by fulfilling different roles....

One such difficult enemy that players will encounter in the open world of Elden Ring is the Fallingstar Beast. There are three Fallingstar Beasts in Elden Ring, each in a different part of the map.

One Elden Ring fan may have discovered why the Fallingstar Beast gets stronger as it grows, and they may have also found out what it would evolve into were the player to leave it alone....
