On April 18, established FromSoftware fanatic Zullie The Witch uploaded a YouTube video explaining the strange lag some users have reported while using the Death’s Poker. Arguably one of the best weapons in Elden Ring, the Death’s Poker greatsword can be found in Caelid’s southern regions not far from Redmane Castle. It’s capable of inflicting frost damage and bears the Ghostflame Ignition Ash of War, which is incredibly powerful if used during opportune moments....

Many Elden Ring bosses have become household names in the gaming community, like Malenia - Blade of Miquella, Godfrey - The First Elden Lord, and Rennala - Queen of The Full Moon. Godrick The Grafted is another well-known boss whose popularity might not rival the ones mentioned above, but still has a sizable fan base. As his name suggests, Godrick grafts the body parts of his rivals after besting them on the battlefield....

Gravity spells are another type of magic in Elden Ring, and while these sorceries can contain some devastating spells, they can be ignored by some players. Gravity sorceries include the Rock Sling and Gravity Well spells, alongside some more devastating, endgame attacks such as Meteorite of Astel, which is picked up after defeating the Astel, Naturalborn of the Void boss in Elden Ring. Even if these might not be the most effective spells for taking down some of the game’s tougher bosses, there are still plenty of secret details hidden within the weapons and abilities tied to gravity magic....

Shadows in Elden Ring aren’t literal shadows, unsurprisingly. Shadows are a sort of guardian said to be created for an Empyrean by the Two Fingers to ensure they remain faithful to the Golden Order. At face value, shadows are protectors, but in practice they’re also meant to turn on an Empyrean if they stray from the Golden Order. Such is what happens with Ranni’s shadow, Blaidd. With that in mind, by all accounts, Malenia should have a shadow since she’s a known Empyrean – but she doesn’t....

As most Dark Souls veterans know, parrying is something of an art form unto itself. Different shields and enemies all have new quirks to learn, and learning to reliably parry is something most player never bother with. Though some community members spent multiple hours in-game teaching their Elden Ring co-op summons how to parry, it’s an uncommon tactic, which makes YouTube user Paddy Vu’s accomplishment all the more impressive....

FromSoftware is known for notoriously difficult boss battles in various games, and even though the major 1.04 update saw some shadow nerfs for Elden Ring bosses, they are still some of the most difficult video game obstacles around. Players often panic and dodge and roll around extensively when facing these bosses, and in doing so, normally find themselves in a more precarious situation than when they began.

FromSoftware’s latest game has allowed players to unleash their creativity. From Jamie Lannister to Harley Quinn in Elden Ring, fans have been able to expertly recreate fictional characters since the game was released.

As demanding as Elden Ring is to its players, there is also a huge element of chance to the game. Bosses will sometimes seem to switch on immediately and kill the player moments after they enter the boss room, while other times they will seem inexplicably passive.

There are also Elden Ring speed runners dedicated to precisely working out the game’s mechanics in order to complete it as quickly as possible. However, there is another Elden Ring sub-community of players with a far more straightforward goal in mind; the pursuit of fashionable armor and weapon combinations.

For those unfamiliar with the character, Sheogorath has a painted history within the lore of Elder Scrolls. His realm of Oblivion is known as the Shivering Isles, where he appears in-game in a Oblivion DLC of the same name. He also appears in The Elder Scrolls Online as the main antagonist of the Mages Guild questline, and while he has no confirmed role in Elder Scrolls 6, very little is known about the sequel....

RELATED: Elder Scrolls Online: Reasons The MMORPG Is Still Worth Playing The number one thing to remember with leveling in The Elder Scrolls Online is to take your time. The quests are well-written, the zones are detailed and complex, and the game as a whole has a lot more going on than first meets the eye. When it comes to leveling quickly, though, there are a few ways to skip past some of the tedium of getting to max level....

For every sandy gulch there is a beautiful oasis, and for every East Asian and Indian-inspired building there is a new piece of lore so far removed from the rest of Tamriel that it might as well be alien. The Khajiit, though, are not so different as Man and Mer like to think....

Twitter user @PJeffC, who writes from the Bronx in New York, said that an election site didn’t have working scanners. “Disappointed with election site at CS 150 on Fox Street. After waiting in line since 5:30 AM and filling out ballots after they opened up tardy, we were informed that the scanners were not working. Very disorganized.” In Florida, News8 reporter Josh Navarro reports that a polling location in Grace Church in Rochester was having technical issues with voting machines....

Though the rewards for this Remembrance might seem useless at the end of the game, both weapons are incredibly powerful in New Game Plus and PvP. If neither appeals to you, though, there are other options....

Elden Ring: When Should You Stop Leveling At the time of writing, the “meta level” for PvP duels in Elden Ring is considered 125, and it is recommended that players stop leveling there for now. That said, there is still a very active conversation about the best level at which to PvP, with many in the community arguing that as high as 150 is preferable. Fortunately, fans that have held at 125 can easily increase their level if the meta ultimately shifts toward 150, while those that have gone too far with their leveling cannot go backward....

Living Jars are a type of enemy found in Elden Ring that takes the form of giant, animated jars with limbs. They are informally known as Jar Boys or Pot Boys by fans, many of whom have found the Living Jars endearing since the game’s early marketing campaigns.

FromSoftware has confirmed the Elden Ring release times for all platforms and regions so fans know exactly when they can jump into the Lands Between for themselves. With such a high profile game, though, there is the possibility that the Elden Ring servers will be overwhelmed at launch, so fans should keep that in mind. Regardless, Elden Ring access varies depending on if one is playing on PC or consoles, so fans can check out the release time that’s relevant to them and mark their calendars accordingly....

Years before Elden Ring was even conceived, George R.R. Martin was involved with the development of a 2012 action-RPG simply titled Game of Thrones. Set in the world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, the 2012 Game of Thrones action-RPG is notable for featuring the likeness of various actors from the TV show, while also presenting an original story that happens during the events of Season 1....

Elden Ring has eight stats that players can level up during their time with the game: Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane. The Elden Ring stats have soft caps where players get less return on their investment, so a good strategy is to focus on leveling up three stats to their soft cap, then start putting points elsewhere. However, the more one levels up in Elden Ring, the more difficult it becomes to do so, as each level requires more runes....
