Elden Ring not only has a massive amount of creatures, but it also regionalizes some of their designs based on where they are found in the world and the lore of that location. This can be seen in the Erdtree Avatars, which are found protecting the game’s various Minor Erdtrees and are an example of Elden Ring’s many difficult world bosses.

Radagon of The Golden Order is another famous Elden Ring boss that players must defeat to complete the main story. Although not as difficult as Malenia, Radagon is quite challenging because it is a two-phase fight as he transforms into the Elden Beast when defeated. The second battle phase begins right after killing Radagon when a cutscene shows his transformation into the Elden Beast. However, one unfortunate Elden Ring player suffered quite an anti-climactic ending to the Radagon of The Golden Order boss fight....
With little fanfare last week, Elden Ring received a trailer for the Colosseum update which launched the following day. The additional hairstyles, balance changes, and bug fixes that would have been standouts otherwise were relegated to nought but a fun footnote by a montage of Tarnished embroiled in combat within walls that have been sealed since launch. Those who had kept up with Elden Ring’s Invasion system were overjoyed to learn that 3v3 battles would be making an entrance into the Lands Between, an element of FromSoftware’s prior Dark Souls series that many sorely missed....
However, Elden Ring is still a difficult game and has some of the most challenging bosses in any From Software title. While most of the hardest boss fights are saved for late-game areas, Starscourge Radahn acts as a massive roadblock midway through the game. This isn’t a standard boss fight, as it’s balanced around players summoning several NPCs to help take him down. Radahn also has an unusual design, and many players are now discussing an incredible detail about his feet....
According to Techradar, there are about 200 different weapons to find in the game. Elden Ring players will have to tailor their stats to equip them, but there is certainly something for everyone. These weapons include daggers, claws, scythes, flails, swords, axes, torches, whips, spears, halberds, staffs, seals, bows, crossbows, war-hammers, twin-blades, and more. With so many options, it is not too surprising that there are some significant connections between the Tarnished’s arsenal and various mythologies....
Modder “Kuzja80” has just released a 19.5GB HD texture pack for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The results are gorgeous, and something that any Oblivion fan should be interested in giving a try. RELATED: Why It’s Time for Oblivion and Morrowind Remakes Kuzja80 used Cuda, Pytorch, and his own custom work to create the HD texture mod, as opposed to AI techniques. The result is seamless textures and beautiful visuals. Recently fellow modder RainaAudron created an HD Legacy of Kain mod, it is interesting to see the two use different methods in their mods for equally impressive results....
When Dark Souls 2 was released back in 2014, many fans weren’t happy with the formula changes established by Dark Souls. In spite of this rocky release, appreciation for the game has grown in recent years, and it looks like the Elden Ring trailer incorporates several elements from this controversial Souls game. RELATED: Complete Elden Ring Trailer Breakdown To begin, it is worth acknowledging that Dark Souls 2 is not the only influence visible in the Elden Ring E3 trailer....
Even with Elden Ring being an expansive game, it seems that the development team at FromSoftware didn’t quite get to implement all of their ideas into the game. From missing quest lines to the ability to make an NPC go to sleep and enter their dreams, there has been quite a lot of cut Elden Ring content uncovered by fans over the months following the game’s release. Now, an Elden Ring player has discovered a new lot of cut content, featuring a quest that revolves around a well-known NPC....
Elden Ring PvP, as well as the online components of most FromSoftware titles, is best described as an arena of tools with which players are left to massacre each other as they please. However, some players have taken this free-for-all a little more seriously than the rest, resulting in a practice known as dueling. Duels function on a simple premise; the community ostensibly agrees on a specific location to operate as a de facto arena, a self-imposed level cap is implemented to make encounters as fair as they can reasonably be, and etiquette is established naturally as time passes....
While Elden Ring has been commercially available for an otherwise short timeframe, there has already been a surprising amount of fan content posted online. Many of these creations have taken various forms, from fan art to cosplay, and one fan even received an Elden Ring themed birthday card from their daughter. Though, this most recent fan creation is rather divergent from what has been shown off already. RELATED: Elden Ring Fan Uses 3D Printer to Make Impressive Walking Mausoleum Figure...
Twitch streamer StrayKurtis called attention to the curious datamine in a tweet now being shared among the Elden Ring community. The post on Twitter explains that several unused text prompts were found in Elden Ring’s files. These popups include text labels including “Bloody Finger Rank Advanced,” “Hunter Rank Advanced,” “Recusant Rank Advanced,” “Duelist Rank Advanced,” and “Furled Finger Rank Advanced.” The labels are, obviously, not actually used in Elden Ring....
There are a handful of transforming enemies that can be found within Elden Ring’s world, going from basic mobs to far stronger enemies. Alongside the Runebear and Grafted Scion transformations, gamers can find a Lion Guardian outside of Leyndell. If players enter some ruins, they will stumble upon a basic foe cowering in the corner. If they cut them down, the enemy will turn into a massive Lion Guardian, one of the strongest regular enemies within the Lands Between....
Released in 2022 to massive critical and commercial success after years of anticipation by gamers, Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s first attempt at taking their wildly popular Soulslike genre and transporting it to an open-world setting. With lore penned by A Song of Ice and Fire scribe George R.R. Martin, the dark and melancholy atmosphere that has become a trademark of director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and FromSoftware’s acclaimed tough-but-fair combat, Elden Ring managed to draw in both fans of the developer’s previous titles like Dark Souls as well as gamers new to the Soulslike genre....
Twitter user renjingles is a Dark Souls 3 modder currently entranced with Elden Ring, as so many are. One of their recent Elden Ring posts pondered a revelation regarding Mohgwyn Palace. Mohgwyn Palace is the home of Mohg, Lord of Blood. What renjingles noticed is that Mohgwyn’s Palace is located beneath another location on Elden Ring’s map. That location is the battlefield where fellow demigod Radahn battles eternally. RELATED: Elden Ring: What It Looks Like Inside Miquella’s Egg...
Maliketh is one of the toughest fights in Elden Ring. Players challenge him towards the end of the game, and it’s a two-phase boss fight with no checkpoints in between. Like many of Elden Ring’s bosses, Maliketh is fast and can quickly defeat players with his unique move-set. Now, one fan opens up an interesting discussion regarding a piece of lore related to this boss fight. RELATED: Elden Ring Player Points Out Creepy Detail About Fire Giant’s Armpit...
To do this, no mods were required, as the Redditors instead used the Mimic Veil. This Elden Ring tool allows players to disguise themselves as an item found in their surrounding area, and it usually gets a lot of use in co-op play. For instance, plenty of fun Elden Ring invasions have seen a Mimic Veil used, essentially turning the invasion into a match of Prop Hunt. For a group of friends that are trying to goof off and have a fun time, though, the Mimic Veil can prove just as entertaining....
This genre of games is usually a niche market because of the steep learning curve, but Elden Ring has become a smash hit among reviewers and gamers alike. Elden Ring has exceeded expectations and lived up to the hype that started to form from early announcements that George R.R Martin would be working on the game. The action RPG would even go on to win the prestigious Game of The Year award at the 2022 Game Awards....

As important as electric vehicles are, they’re no panacea. Yet policymakers spend a lot more time celebrating EVs than they do public transit or other climate-friendly modes of transportation. That’s understandable. Electric cars are new, they’re more exciting than buses and trains, and our country has long had a love affair with cars, which we associate with freedom and choice. But the climate crisis demands that we do more than quickly replace our combustion vehicles if we want to avoid its worst effects....
