The official Elden Ring subreddit is where many From Software fans are currently congregating, excited about the developer’s next game. Today, however, it’s dedicated to Miura and Berserk. Top posts in the subreddit include messages of thanks to Miura, pictures of his art, and Berserk references from From Software’s games. One user posted a photo of their From Software games standing next to their Berserk collected editions. RELATED: Final Fantasy 14 Players Hold Vigil for Berserk Creator...

One aspect of all From Software Souls-like games is the healing mechanic. Every game has some form of consumable that players use to replenish their character’s health. When safe, players “pop” a healing item to try to recover from a devastating enemy hit or to prepare for another boss onslaught. For From Software, there are basically two approaches when it comes to healing, and with the studio’s next big game, Elden Ring, on the horizon, it will need to decide which approach it wants to use....

Elden Ring PvP does not offer much of an incentive outside the potential for unbridled, disorganized, and messy fun. Albeit the best method of farming Rune Arcs, a consumable required to activate the Great Runes that can be acquired after defeating Shardbearers, the inability to make use of them as an invader or summoned ally turn them into a negligible reward. Runes, Elden Ring’s currency, are another way in which successful invaders are rewarded for their efforts....

The point of no return in Elden Ring is a bit more complicated than it is in other games because there are technically multiple points of no return, yet the game only ever really locks players out of one major location, and even then only partially. Basically, Elden Ring players can progress to points in the game where they will lock themselves out of certain side or story content, or they can make actions that can’t be reversed....

Elden Ring got a gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest that gave players their first look at some of the game’s bosses, combat, and horse-riding action. Now, legendary game developer and director Hidetaka Miyazaki spoke with IGN to answer some of the most burning questions about Elden Ring, including how many dungeons and main bosses players can expect to run through.

By now, Souls series fans should all have their own favorite aspect of the series, likely based on which entry in the franchise is their personal favorite. If players love the first Dark Souls, theyl’ll likely love its level design. If they adore Bloodborne, then its unique style and setting may have been the thing to draw them in. Even after just a brief look during Elden Ring’s extremely successful network test, it’s already apparent that it’s going to be FromSoftware’s most ambitious title yet, bringing elements from every previous title together to create the studio’s magnum opus....

Invisible Teardrop Scarabs may reward players with either an Ash of War, an incantation, or a sorcery, so there is an incentive to stop them in their tracks if players wish to procure such rewards. But hitting them normally can be frustrating if Elden Ring players lack the patience to do so. Fortunately, there is a neat trick players can exploit that completely omits any input from the player and trivializes the invisible Teardrop Scarabs’ whole gimmick....

After years of waiting, it’s time for fans of The Elder Scrolls to accept that The Elder Scrolls 6 may not be as good as Skyrim. Doing as such could be better for the final product and even fans as well.

While Maelstrom Weapons have been in the game for more than a few ESO expansions, they still see regular use in some of the top ESO builds in 2021 and are worth spending time in the arena to acquire. How To Get The Maelstrom Weapon Sets The first thing players must do when looking to pick up ESO Maelstrom Weapons is make sure they own the Orsinium DLC, or alternatively, are subscribed to ESO+....

RELATED: Elder Scrolls Online: How To Get The Serpent’s Disdain Armor Set (And What It Does) The Coral Riptide armor set is geared towards Stamina players, and has the potential to raise DPS output more significantly than almost any other armor set in Elder Scrolls Online. There’s a catch, though: to maximize the full set bonus, players must learn how to work with a Stamina bar that constantly lingers at around one-third full....

RELATED: Elder Scrolls Online: A Beginner’s Guide to Tales of Tribute The Systres’ Scowl armor set is new with the High Isle Chapter and gives a useful full-equip-bonus for players oriented around melee combat.

I too canceled a ski vacation with my family when the date of the caucus was moved up. But I’m paid to cover the Iowa caucuses. These folks aren’t even volunteers or political activists, just voters. That “just” is inaccurate in a democracy where, as Harry Truman put it, “the highest office in the land is that of citizen.” But it also doesn’t do justice to the unique role of Iowans and New Hampshirites....

RELATED: Elden Ring: The Best Bows, Ranked There are countless dexterity-based weapons to choose from in Elden Ring. Katanas, daggers, claws, and curved greatswords are just a few of the options open to players. Dex builds are great with shields, without shields, dual wielding, or even with magic. They’re flexible, fast, and deal tons of damage. While every weapon can be great in its own right, there are a few dex weapons that stand above the rest as some of the very best in the game....

Elden Ring’s closed network test has offered players variable hours of experience with these changes. But while many of Elden Ring’s mechanics are seen as modified or derivative of previous FromSoftware games, players agree that the game’s tone, open-world system, and visuals are unique to Elden Ring. One fan has taken a look at Elden Ring as it compares to Bloodborne, with a particular lens at how Elden Ring’s visuals contrast with Bloodborne’s....

Thankfully, all of that came to an end at the Summer Game Fest, thanks to the Elden Ring’s newest trailer giving a much more in depth and detailed look at actual gameplay. A horse that can be summoned seemed to be a core mechanic in the trailer, helping the player character to not only navigate the larger open fields, but assisting in combat as well. The trailer also showcased massive bosses, something fans should be familiar with from past From Software titles....
