Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s biggest game to date, featuring a vast open-world and unparalleled character-building mechanics. For new fans of FromSoftware’s Souls-like titles, the task of planning, optimizing, and fleshing out a build can be very intimidating, especially with such a wide range of options available in The Lands Between. While there certainly is no shortage in build guides for Elden Ring, one Redditor has gone the extra mile by making easily digestible class-specific builds with a neat story-telling element to them....

Some of Elden Ring’s game mechanics make it feel like a horror game, especially the bloodstain system that allows players to witness how other gamers have died. However, other sources of in-game fear come from the intricate soundscape and the chilling enemy designs. Still, others originate from the complex and often disturbing themes featured in the game’s narrative.

Released in 2022 after years of eager anticipation from gamers, Elden Ring marks developer FromSoftware’s first attempt at making a truly open-world game. Expanding on the developer’s trademark tough-but-fair combat and featuring worldbuilding crafted by Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring became an immediate critical and commercial success upon release. One bizarre character from the game’s promotional material that became a hit with gamers was Iron Fist Alexander, a warrior jar that inspired fan creations ranging from drawings to an adorable Iron Fist Alexander crochet doll....

A user named Leesinmain1992 shares four thematic builds for Elden Ring for players to try out. They mention that they find New Game+ boring, so these builds are designed around fresh runs after the first playthrough. Each build has a detailed image showing stat distribution, recommended equipment, and spells or weapon skills. The builds are further divided into three categories for early, mid, and late-game. Leesinmain1992 also mentions the suggested level range for each of the three categories....

With many of the technical issues resolved, Bandai Namco is probably looking forward to breaking more sales records with Elden Ring. In addition to astounding sales numbers, the game has also received favorable reviews from critics, mainly for its story and design. The game’s writer, George RR Martin, is also happy with positive reviews of Elden Ring. RELATED: Elden Ring Trick Gives Players Weapon That Looks Like Darth Maul’s Lightsaber...

Another fairly new element of gameplay is the way stealth is integrated in Elden Ring. Stealth was a major feature of From Software’s recently released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, yet where stealth is a priority in that game, Elden Ring offers more optional stealth mechanics. With many builds to make and classes to choose from in Elden Ring, it is entirely possible to skip the stealth mechanics, instead opting for a bolder style of combat....

While many may recall the women of Skyrim well, especially due to its age and success, there has also been some memorable female characters in other games of the Elder Scrolls franchise that may players have enjoyed meeting. Therefore, this list looks at the other women involved in the franchise from Morrowind to the Elder Scrolls Online that have interested those playing with their intriguing quests or personality. 10 Lamae Bal – Elder Scrolls Online Players will only ever meet Lamae Bal if they decide to turn their character into a vampire, before getting their powers they will need to witness the life of this poor woman....

Taking place after Oblivion’s plot but before the events of Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls: Blades offers a new story where the protagonist is trying to survive while being hunted for the actions of their past. Differing from the open-world and exploration options in main titles, Blades has players fighting in nearly unavoidable first-person combat as they proceed through the game in linear fashion. While the actual date has remained a huge question, Nintendo has just provided an answer, no matter how brief....

This revelation was made by Todd Howard, Bethesda’s director and executive producer, during a recent episode of the AIAS Game Maker’s Notebook, a podcast made by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. According to Howard, his own son, who is a fan of the Elder Scrolls series, has asked him for information about the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6, but Howard is unwilling to give anything up. If Howard is taking the risk of leaks for The Elder Scrolls 6 so seriously that he won’t even reveal information to his own sons, fans can certainly hope that no leaks will spoil the game’s story (or gameplay) before release....

Ashley Riley, 28, broke into 87-year-old Anastasia Lukianchikova’s home in Acton, west London, in the early hours of January 31 last year. Prosecutors said he struck Lukianchikova on the head, pulled her nightshirt over her head and threw her face down on the bed. The woman feared she would be raped, and had picked up a lamp to defend herself, prosecutor James O’Connell told Isleworth Crown Court. But Riley pinned her down on the bed and punched the woman repeatedly before placing a pillow over her face....

The TV channel for the 2019 Eldora truck race is FS1. Due to the Eldora Dirt Derby’s uncommon qualifying format, there are two start times to note. The first of five qualifying races begins with a start time of 7 p.m. ET. After those five heat races set the field for the Eldora Dirt Derby, the race itself will follow with a start time of 9 p.m. ET. The annual arrival of the truck race at Eldora presents the same question: Why don’t NASCAR Cup or Xfinity cars race on dirt at least once a year, too?...

FromSoftware hasn’t gone into overwhelming detail about Elden Ring’s classes, but thanks to the game’s network test fans have a sense of how some of its classes handle and where their strengths and weaknesses lie. Elden Ring has five confirmed classes so far: the Warrior, the Enchanted Knight, the Prophet, the Champion, and the Bloody Wolf. Each of these classes fills in a broad archetype with a unique playstyle. Some are beginner-friendly, while others reward the skillsets of Dark Souls veterans, meaning Elden Ring has something for everyone....

Elden Ring is one of the most open games in the open-world RPG genre. Players can go wherever they want, whenever they want, and they can approach combat in whatever way they choose to. That sense of freedom leads a lot of gamers to experiment with different builds and mechanics in the game. But sometimes, the experimenting can go horribly wrong, even against normal enemies. That is the case with this clip, though bosses often cause hilarious fails in Elden Ring too....

Main story bosses like Godrick, Starscourge Radahn, Hoarah Loux, Maliketh and Malenia, Blade of Miquella, are some of the best and possibly hardest bosses the developer has ever created. However, as the game is an open-world experience, it boasts some enjoyable and challenging boss encounters apart from the main story ones. Optional bosses like Ancient Dragon Lansseax, Lichdragon Frotissax, Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast, and Valiant Gargoyle are some of the most challenging encounters users will face during their journey through the Lands Between....

Elden Ring is arguably the most new and revolutionary game that From Software has ever made, even more so than Sekiro, which was no small fry. With a much larger open world, collaboration with George RR Martin of Game of Thrones, a return to From Software’s traditional dark fantasy, and the introduction of new Norse lore elements and even deeper RPG mechanics, Elden Ring represents the synthesis of many highly-ambitious elements into a single promising package....

FromSoftware’s latest title has been highly anticipated for some time. A Song of Ice and Fire writer George R.R. Martin laying the groundwork for the world only heightened the hype surrounding Elden Ring. The title certainly seems to be living up to that hype, as many reviews have awarded Elden Ring a perfect 10/10 score. The game takes the well known FromSoftware formula and modifies it to work in an open world setting, and quite successfully....

One fact that can be gleamed from the trailer is that the combat of Elden Ring seems more in line with the slower, more methodical combat of Dark Souls than it is like the faster-paced combat of Bloodborne and Sekiro. RELATED: Elden Ring Has a Big Decision to Make as a From Software Souls-Like Game The Souls-like Genre After the release of Dark Souls and its explosion in popularity, other games decided to take the mechanics of Dark Souls and make similar games....

The mod by MaxTheMiracle adds Sauron’s iconic armor set from The Lord of the Rings movies, as well as his mace. There are plans to give Sauron his own moveset, but at the moment the footage shown has a set of placeholder attacks. Still, the current move set embodies the idea of a player taking on the role of an overpowered Dark Lord, as Sauron teleports around boss arenas, taking on Radagon of the Golden Order as if he were as easy as the Soldier of Godrick....
