Dragonlord Placidusax is a prime example, standing out as one of the most entertaining encounters that players will have in the Lands Between. Getting to him is a pretty tall order, and defeating it is an even bigger ask, but here’s how players can get both done....

Elden Ring YouTuber Sekiro Dubi managed to restore functionality to one of the coliseums, giving fans more insight into exactly how they will work if they are DLC or would have worked if they are simply cut content. In their investigation, Sekiro Dubi found a Site of Grace inside what the game has seemingly labeled the Leyndell Colosseum (assumed based on a similar string found in the files called “Stormveil Colosseum”), and then in the actual arena, they found two enemies fighting each other....

Elden Ring won some big awards, though, including Best Direction and Game of the Year. FromSoftware’s final moments on the stage may have been ruined by a heckler, but fans should ignore him as the situation develops. Instead, it is Miyazaki’s words that are the most encouraging for the future of FromSoftware, including Elden Ring.

For example, one hard-to-notice nerf to group boss fights in Elden Ring was recently discovered—added in Update 1.04 but not listed on the patch notes. It essentially nerfed the AI of some, not all, group boss fights to make them less likely to attack at the same time and for one to lead as a primary attack. Another recent discovery, though, is more mechanical—how the wind works in Elden Ring....

Diverse wildlife can, however, be killed in order to harvest specific materials needed to craft many of Elden Ring’s consumables and items that will aid players on their journey, such as the crafting of a variety of arrows.

10 years ago a Venezualan YouTube content creator named OnlyAfro began making videos for Dark Souls. These videos fit in well with a certain niche within From Software’s fanbase that loved edgy humor and PvP shenanigans. One of OnlyAfro’s most successful videos was named The Wall, which lives on as a virally popular meme build within the From Software community. The build is, at its heart, very simple. It duel-wields shields and is a pain to fight against....

Elden Ring’s scale allows for such quests to span continental areas. Players may have a much richer experience if these characters are found and appeased in terms of what they have to say and what they task the player to do. With the benefit of an active community and players’ anecdotal experiences, for example, players can return to seek out NPCs they may not have talked to. One fan has celebrated the popularity of Elden Ring’s Iron Fist Alexander, also known as Alexander, Warrior Jar, with unique art in Cuphead’s iconic rubber hose style....

The Elden Ring player community adores this aspect of the game, as there are YouTube channels, subreddits, and countless internet forums dedicated to pooling theories and piecing together the game’s lore.

Chris Crook, 70, said he and his wife Sarah, 63, felt like “pieces of meat” when they were herded off the ship and back onto dry land, The Sun reported Tuesday.

RELATED: Elden Ring: How To Get Death’s Poker Players that gravitate toward a tactical, long-lasting combat style may want to consider using the Poison status effect as their primary weapon. There are a lot of Incantations, Sorceries, and weapons that will apply Poison buildup, as well as some Ash of War that are geared towards the status effect. One good example is the Poison Moth Flight Ash of War, which gives players a damage-dealing attack that will do additional damage if its follow-up attack hits an enemy that’s suffering from the damage over time effect....

Because of this, Elden Ring’s Small Shields don’t tend to offer a lot of damage resistance, but they can be used to deftly deflect incoming attacks, which can leave an opponent wide-open for a riposte. While a good portion of Elden Ring’s Small Shields only really have that one purpose, there are a few options that offer some more powerful side effects.

Though the game’s brief tutorial will teach a player the basic controls, it does little in the way of explaining some of the game’s more complex mechanics. Power stances, and equipment loads, for example, are barely even mentioned. While players can get through quite a bit of Elden Ring without knowing its more complex mechanics, weapon scaling is a feature that is vital to Elden Ring’s mid-late game.
