Anor Londo’s name is likely an adoption of a language created by J.R.R. Tolkien in Lord of the Rings , and can roughly be translated as ” Land of the Sun .” If Elden Ring and Dark Souls were connected, the Sun Realm Shield could be an artifact from when Anor Londo basked in the sunlight. Though this is likely just an obscure Easter egg for fans, it does present the interesting idea that the events of the Dark Souls series could have happened long ago in Elden Ring ’s timel
One of the many fantasy-genre similarities between Elden Ring and other games like Skyrim is how important swordplay is as a mechanic. The biggest complaint of the Claymore is how powerful it actually is, so while pledging to fight without it is a valiant effort, it’s understandable how high the temptation is to use the sword when nee
Boss fights are a staple in every Soulsborne game. Some of these bosses may be considered optional, so defeating them rewards players with cool items or runes/souls. However, there are other bosses that players must defeat if they want to progress through the game. But in every Soulsborne game, there are boss fights that many players can agree on being annoying, even if they aren’t as difficult as some of the franchise’s more punishing fights. And out of the many bosses that Elden Ring has , several of them fall into this categ
**Elden Ring ** ’s Putrid Crytalian Trio within Sellia Hideaway is another annoying boss encounter. Crystalians are common enemies and bosses in the game, and they can be especially problematic for players without weapons to deal blunt damage. However, the Putrid Crystalian Trio are the most annoying Crystalians in the game. There is a Staff, Spear, and Ringblade Crystalian who all deal Scarlet Rot when they attack the player. In theory, players should defeat the Staff Crystalian first, but that is a challenge when the Spear and Ringblade Crystalians are chasing the player. Spirit Ashes may help, but they should inflict blunt dam
The Burial Watchdogs are common bosses and enemies found in many dungeons throughout Elden Ring . Beating the Erdtree Burial Watchdogs in Elden Ring is possible for all players. However, the Erdtree Burial Watchdog in the Impaler’s Catacombs may be annoying for every player, darkdrift knight Everdark Sovereign regardless of their character level. The reason this specific Erdtree Burial Watchdog is annoying is because of the imps that accompany this boss. During this fight, it is easy for the imps to surround a player and inflict bleeding, while the Burial Watchdog finishes the job. There is even a chance that the imps will kill the player before the Burial Watchdog can even reach them. To defeat the boss, players must clear out the imps while avoiding the Burial Watchdog’s atta
The description for the Sun Realm Shield reads: ” Shield of honor depicting a city crowned by the sun. It has seen better days. Much like the wear upon the shield, the Seat of the Sun is long faded away. ” This is possibly a nod to Anor Londo, the capital city of Lordran from the first Dark Souls . In the lore, Anor Londo was the seat of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, for ages after he and the other Lords discovered the Lord Souls during the advent of f
The logic of the Painted Worlds isn’t fully explained, so much of how they work is merely speculation. One theory is used to suggest how Elden Ring connects to Dark Souls and FromSoftware’s other games. At the end of Ashes of Ariandel , the player finds someone called the Painter. She sits in front of a blank canvas awaiting the return of Gael, who will bring the paint she’ll use. After completing The Ringed City , the player acquires this paint, which is actually an item called Blood of the Dark Soul, the description of which says it is ” used as pigment […] to depict a painted world .” When the player gives this to the Painter, she says, ” I will assuredly finish the painting. Of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home. ” The player never sees the completed painting, but it is theorized that it could be the world of Elden Ring or Bloodbor
FromSoftware has not confirmed that their games take place in the same continuity, but they’ve done a remarkable job of keeping the themes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne in **Elden Ring ** alive. The mastermind behind most of the Soulslike games, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has notably been averse to sequels, which may explain why there has not yet been a Bloodborne 2 . Despite this, the studio seems to deliberately include Easter eggs and references that fuel speculation of a shared unive
Rennala has two phases to her fight, but the first phase is the most annoying. During the first phase, players must destroy her protective barrier by killing the correct student in the room. Running around and finding the right student sounds simple, but during this phase, her students are throwing items at the player and dropping chandeliers. Meanwhile, Rennala will use a powerful beam attack to devastate unwary players. If a player is not careful during this first phase, they can begin Rennala’s second phase with not enough health or flask of crimson te
