Miquella was cursed with eternal youth. Despite many attempts, Miquella could not reverse his or his sister’s curses. This led him to abandon the Golden Order and the Erdtree. As an alternative, he planted and grew the Haligtree, possibly Elden Ring’s true parasite , in which he embedded himself in an effort to finally grow into adulthood and eventually cure Malenia’s Scarlet Rot. This plan was cut short when his step-brother Mohg abducted him from the Haligtree shortly after the Shattering be
It won’t come as much of a surprise to fans with at least a cursory knowledge of RPGs, but Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the most enduring and replayable video game experiences to date — even nearly 11 years later. Though it isn’t set in a grim dark fantasy like HBO’s blockbuster TV shows, the more Tolkien-esque land of Skyrim has plenty of dense fantasy worldbuilding to satisfy genre faithful. Fans should have no problem immersing themselves in a similarly dense fantasy world that’s set to a backdrop of political turmoil and an impending supernatural thr
When creating character builds during a campaign, players of Elden Ring who don’t want to rely on Glintstone Sorceries or Incantations still have access to a wide variety of ranged weapons drawn from both history and fantasy. There are short recurved bows designed to be used on horseback, long-bows and Great Bows made for ranged sniping, crossbows that can be fired one-handed, and even two primitive firearms – the archaic-looking Jar Cannon and the One-Eyed Shield with its flame-spiting mouth mor
This weapon can be found in two locations. The first is in the Altus Plateau, in a carriage towed by two trolls southwest of the Road of Iniquity Side Path Site of Grace. This weapon can also be dropped by the NPC Magnus the Beast Claw, who can be invaded as part of Elden Ring ’s White Mask Varré’s questl
Taking place in a new dark fantasy universe, Dark Souls sets the Chosen Undead protagonist on a quest to either rekindle the dying Age of Fire that was greedily started by Lord Gwyn centuries ago or let the Age of Dark take its turn. Given the setting of FromSoft’s RPGs and Miyazaki’s collaboration with George R. R. Martin on Elden Ring , Dark Souls will also be a natural fit for HotD fans. With this game spawning a series, lore is even more expansive and the story’s pretext centered around a fallen dynasty should feel reminiscent enough. Dark Souls: Remastered is available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Elden Ring .] After the Night of the Black Knives, Queen Marika was driven to the brink and shattered the Elden Ring. The artifact’s shards were taken by her children, in the form of Great Runes, and then began a brutal war known as The Shattering, from which no one emerged victorious. Marika’s children, Multiplayer Action all of them demigods, fought for control over the Lands Between. However, Elden Ring ’s story emerged from seeds that were planted way before this conflict even be
With a name like the Needle of Eternal Agony, playes would expect this Demons’s Souls weapon to be incredibly strong. This weapon is actually one of the weakest in the game, as it has poor range, and it deals little damage. It does have one benefit, tho
This streamlined version of the game should feel comfortable at home for House of the Dragon fans __ in terms of tone and atmosphere. Like many Souls-like games originally made by FromSoftware, the worldbuilding is filled with dark medieval influences and deep lore that fantasy buffs will enjoy combing thro
There are a few historic weapons that don’t quite fit into any of the archetypes listed above, but could probably be introduced in Elden Ring’s future DLC without disrupting gameplay balance. Stone-hurling weapons such as Slings or Sling-Staffs could give players access to a new type of ranged weapon while also letting FromSoftware introduce new item-crafting options (sling bullets made from glowing ruin fragments, crystals, meteor fragments, half-cooled magma, etc). Javelin and dart-hurling stick tools such as the Pre-Columbian atlatl could become the basic of new melee/ranged hybrid weapons in Elden Ring , letting player clobber foes with one-handed attacks, then launch arrows and bolts at distant targets with the two-handed weapon skill. Finally, DLC could introduce a few more gunpowder type weapons to the game without making Elden Ring feel like Bloodborne 2.0 ; history is full of examples of primitive hand-cannons, fire-lances, and primitive rocket launchers that co-existed on the battlefield with traditional medieval methods of
The Grave Scythe is a reaping weapon and one of the most underrated in Elden Ring . The standard build has high attack power – the highest among Reaper weapons in the game – and scales in Strength and Dexterity. While it is a bit slow, it has a wide range and can stagger some enemies and bosses while inflicting bleed damage. The Grave Scythe also raises vitality by 35, which increases the player’s resistance to instant de
