RELATED: Elden Ring: The Best Bows, Ranked There are all sorts of weapons that scale well with Intelligence. There are plenty of quick-hitting swords and daggers open to Intelligence builds and there are even a few powerful colossal weapons that scale well with Intelligence. While an Intelligence build will typically want a Glintstone Staff of some sort, their main weapon all comes down to personal choice, and there are a few that stand above the rest for the best Intelligence builds....

Over the last nine months, Elden Ring has continued to grow and evolve, probably much more than fans were expecting. While players are still eager for the Elden Ring’s long-rumored DLC expansion, the game has kept its player-base busy with plenty of subtle tweaks and changes, some new NPCs, and a handful of new questlines. For a game that already had so much content right out of the gate, it truly feels as though FromSoftware takes pride in treating its fans....

Volcano Manor is a castle located on the west-most of Atlus Plateau in Elden Ring. The Manor is considered a haven for a couple of NPCs that players can interact with during their journey through the Lands Between. Inside, when meeting with Tanith, she will task Tarnished with three requests with a promise that they will eventually meet Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, upon their completion.Players should keep in mind that accepting Tanith’s requests is defying the Two Fingers....

Since its release in February, Elden Ring players have developed various strategies to take down the bosses with minimal effort. Such cheese tactics often allow gamers to defeat the boss without getting hit. Some rely on glitches, while others use overpowered builds and abilities. Many players have used cheese tactics to defeat bosses in other FromSoftware games, so it’s not surprising to see them find ways to trounce the ones in Elden Ring....

Even with Malenia’s difficulty, many Elden Ring players have found a way to cheese the boss. For the uninitiated, cheesing in regard to a FromSoftware title is when a player beats a boss using an unforeseen and “unfair” method. There are many ways that one can cheese, from luring a mounted enemy off a cliff, to using magic that just melts a boss’s HP bar. One Elden Ring player, known as Burgerroi on Reddit, has recently shown off the latter way to cheese, obliterating Malenia in her second phase with Faith magic....

FromSoftware fans are constantly finding new ways to achieve amazing in-game feats, such as a recent Elden Ring player beating Malenia without taking a single hit, or the story of a streamer that beat the Dark Souls games with a Guitar Hero controller. Unlockable achievements and trophies can not compare to the creativity, skill, and ingenuity shown by the dedicated fan base cultivated over years of incredibly punishing, but rewarding, games....

The Lands Between is home to many secrets, often protected by magic or concealed by illusions, only dispelled by incredibly obtuse means. Whether it be through emotes, the culling of ghostly turtles, or the glow of a Glintstone Crown, the methods with which to uncover these treasures and nuggets of knowledge in Elden Ring can leave players scratching their heads. One of the most unique puzzles is found just after defeating the golden shade of Godfrey, in front of a statue of Radagon, and is conveniently pointed out by a message on the ground, which reads “regression alone reveals secrets....

This incredible commercial success of Elden Ring can be attributed directly to the game’s quality, with players admiring its difficulty, immersive storyline, creation tools, and the expansive open world. Naturally, Elden Ring fans spend innumerable hours exploring the game’s vast open world, encountering several bosses and beating them in unique ways. Some people even discover hidden moves, like the Elden Ring player who found an easy combat trick using crystal darts after spending more than 400 hours in the game....

Big brother to the comparatively cuddly Deathbird, those with Rite for a middle name are any Tarnished’s worst nightmare. With an elongated wingspan, additional magic damage, and Frostbite status build up, the threat posed by these freakish raptors is immense. Able to attack by sweeping their poker, eat players up with a deformed beak, and one shot with an explosion from dozens of feet away, it is no surprise many have turned to cheesing this annoyance....

The various Bell Bearing Hunter bosses are some of the many easily missed secrets in Elden Ring due to their specific requirements to appear. But players exploring the world of Elden Ring thoroughly are likely to come across Elemer of the Briar in The Shaded Castle, who the Bell Bearing Hunters are duplicates of. RELATED: Helpful Elden Ring Image Explains How to Save Certain NPCs The Bell Bearing Hunters pose a difficult challenge to players due to their long-range sword attacks coupled with the fact that the player may not be leveled enough to fight them by the time they are randomly encountered....

In order to test new builds, some players have opted to redistribute their stats in Elden Ring’s New Game Plus mode. New Game Plus is a great confidence boost after completing the game. All the bosses and enemies that tormented players are now pushovers with endgame-level stats. There is a downside to this, though: Testing new builds in New Game Plus only shows how they behave at their strongest — the best way to truly experience a different build is to start a fresh save file....

So what does “open field” mean? Essentially, it means that Elden Ring will be an open world game, in the loosest sense. From Software had initially described the game as an open world title, but have since pivoted away from using that terminology in favor of the open field descriptor, likely to differentiate the two concepts. RELATED: Will Elden Ring Have Multiplayer? According to Miyazaki, Elden Ring is set to be the studio’s “biggest title yet in terms of sheer volume,” suggesting that the game’s world will dwarf those of Bloodborne, Sekiro, and the Dark Souls series....

I know, I know: it was bad enough during the campaign, having to watch the debates with your family and listen to your mom complain about how much bronzer some bozo had put on Al Gore while your little sister said, “What’s in a lockbox? What are seniors? Who are all the American people?” But now you come home and ask your parents a question about the Electoral College, and it’s just like asking for help with your math: “I don’t know,” they mumble....

RELATED: Elden Ring: How To Craft And Where To Find Crafting Recipes Like many things in the world of Elden Ring, the seemingly warm embrace comes with a catch of its own. Fia is a deathbed companion found in a bedroom located at Elden Ring’s Roundtable Hold. Upon meeting her, she will ask the player’s character if they will “allow her to hold them briefly.” If accepted, the player will be rewarded with the Baldachin’s Blessing as a reward, but is it worth it?...

RELATED: Elden Ring: How to Get Uchigatana Katana Players don’t start Elden Ring with the ability to summon Torrent, but he can be acquired very soon after leaving the tutorial area and entering the open world. Summoning Torrent requires players to first get a special summoning item. Unlike the Soul Summon Bell, though, the Horse Whistle can be used anywhere in the Lands Between except for dungeons and other interiors....

Since there are nearly 20 weapon choices, fans will want to prioritize the best Remembrance Weapons when they visit Finger Reader Enia. However, it’s also important for players to keep in mind that Remembrances can drop from optional boss fights, meaning some of the strongest Remembrance Weapons are entirely missable on a playthrough.

RELATED: Elden Ring: How To Solve The Statue of Radagon in Leyndell After beating Rykard, Elden Ring gives players three main things to do: use the Remembrance of the Blasphemous in some way, activate Rykard’s Great Rune, and finish up areas before heading to Leyndell. There are hundreds of other things players can do instead of these options, but each of these paths leads directly from downing this Blasphemous Snake....

Funnily enough, it seems to be most powerful when used alongside a Twinblade, though multiple different types of Elden Ring weapons with a fast Light attack chain will benefit from this Talisman all the same....
