Elden Ring is home to thousands of NPCs, some more important than others, and some with quests both long and short. But while completing an NPC's questline, you will likely miss hidden rewards along the way. With extremely challenging foes around every corner, this isn't your fault, you were probably fighting for your l

There are several honorable mentions for boss fights in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , like the Guardian Ape and the Owl, just to name a couple. However, Isshin, the Sword Saint -- the game's final boss -- likely earns the lion's share of the spotlight when it comes to Sekiro 's tensest fights. Some fans hold firm to this day that Sekiro is FromSoft's hardest game, as it being an action-adventure game as opposed to an RPG means players can't level up stats and have to rely almost exclusively on technical skill to get through the g

Continue down this passage until you encounter several Land Octopuses and one Giant Land Octopus . This is a pretty cramped room to be dealing with the flailing limbs of the large one, so you might be tempted to retreat into the passage. The Giant Land Octopus can’t pursue you far, but it means you’ll only be able to attack head-on, which can draw the fight out. Try to keep to the larger space of the cavern, so you have a better chance of getting around the en

While certainly on the more comedic side for an anime with an absurd premise , The Devil Is A Part Timer! is still a great Isekai and worth a watch for fans of Elden Ring that want a bit of a breather from all the darkness and death that encompasses

Avoiding hits is something important to any Soulsborne entry, but the Abyss-ridden dragon Darkeater Midir makes the idea of tanking anything especially dangerous. Midir has a daunting pool of health and a myriad of devastating AoE (area of effect) attacks to toss players aside who aren't careful and patient eno

Once the battle is complete, you’re free to loot. You’ll find two Smithing Stone [4] and one Somber Smithing Stone [4] in the cave walls, and you’ll find the Cross-Naginata Spear on the corpse at the back of the c

Upon resting at the Site of Grace, ride northward past the magic seal until you stumble upon a red summoning sign that you will need to activate to assist Yura in defeating the Bloody Finger Raven Mount Assas

In Elden Ring , Maliketh, the Black Blade is one of the most cinematic and challenging boss fights in the game. He's the second phase of the Beast Clergyman fight, and he marks a major turning point in the game's story that pulls out the stops for the specta

One might assume FromSoftware’s habit of recycling assets and cutting near-complete content is a sign of laziness on the part of developers, but such an assumption couldn’t be farther from the truth. By reusing assets from an older game in a new game with similar themes ( Dark Souls to Elden Ring , in this case), developers at FromSoftware pragmatically chose not to recreate established assets from scratch, freeing their development team to work on new, innovative game concepts. Similarly, FromSoftware designers save promising pieces of cut content, eventually giving them new life in games with compatible premises and technical parameters.
