When someone begins their journey into FromSoftware’s catalog of Souls games, there are a lot of choices. Demon’s Souls is where it all began, Dark Souls is the most commonly associated title, Bloodborne is incredibly popular, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice changes up the entire approach. Some may think it wise to play one of the first handful of games in the genre first, if not a couple of Soulslikes, but Elden Ring is truly where any newcomer should begin....

Elden Ring is likely to draw in an audience that is unfamiliar with FromSoftware games partly because of its more conventional open-world style as opposed to the intricate webs that form the maps of prior FromSoftware games. Interest will also come partly because it features writing from George R. R. Martin, author of the bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire series. Newcomers should know that FromSoftware games do not hand out victories easily, and the best way Elden Ring can teach players this is by taking a few tips from Bloodborne’s introduction....

RELATED: Elder Scrolls Online: Every Expansion, Ranked Chapters, DLCs, and other ESO expansions all intertwine in a grand narrative that stretches from Vvardenfell to the Summerset Isles and everywhere in between. While the game encourages going anywhere you desire, completing everything in chronological order is necessary to understand the connections between DLCs and for unlocking special interactions with NPCs later down the line.

The next Elder Scrolls Online Chapter, titled High Isle, takes players far away from the mainland of Tamriel to explore a never-before-seen island chain inhabited mainly by Bretons. In an interview with Game Rant, Loremaster Leamon Tuttle and Lead Writer Bill Slavicsek went over the lore and naval traditions of High Isle. As a part of the Systres Archipelago, the society of High Isle is dependent on the ocean and will have lots of seafaring features like a House of Shipbuilders, Pirates, and more....

Some of the pieces have dedicated drops, and others are RNG drops from trash mobs or bosses. For that reason, it can be quite an undertaking to track down each of the five pieces. However, those that do so will get some incredible bonuses as a result. Gamers can follow the steps below to get their hands on the Ring of the Pale Order.

The opener and Rassie van der Dussen put on 117 for the fourth wicket after the Proteas slumped to 40-3 in reply to the tourists’ 269 all out, but Elgar threw his wicket away with a century in sight. Left-hander Elgar appeared to lose his patience on 88 with a big swing at spinner Bess and was caught by England captain Joe Root at mid-off. Also see – Under 19 cricket world cup schedule...

RELATED: Elden Ring: How To Undo Frenzied Flame The Frenzied Flame ending is the only Elden Ring ending that overwrites the others, removing players’ choice of ending entirely at the end of the game. Once you have discovered the Three Fingers and allowed it to burn your body, there’s only two major directions to go - to the Giants’ Forge to use the Flame of Ruin yourself, or to the Haligtree to rid yourself of this inheritance....

Raya Lucaria Academy is filled with annoying enemies that deal magic damage from afar, and it also has several traps. The giant rolling ball in this area is probably one of the most well-known traps in Elden Ring. Players must carefully jump on a broken set of stairs to progress toward the boss, but they are greeted by a massive iron ball rolling towards them. It’s pretty easy to avoid the trap after learning the ball’s pattern, but the whole sequence can take many by surprise on their first visit to the area....

The result speaks for itself. Outside of launching on PC with some major performance issues, the game has had an inexhaustible amount of players across all of its platforms singing Elden Ring’s praises. Beloved by critics and fans alike, with a staggering Metacritic rating of 97, it should be no surprise that Elden Ring would be a popular game for the press to cover.

Elden Ring is the latest game developed by FromSoftware and is an action role-playing game. The game focuses on combat and, unlike other games from this developer, gives players an open world to explore. Demaking games is a process where players remake a game for an older platform, downgrading its graphics.

Player builds in Elden Ring can be created for any number of reasons. Some gamers seek dominance in PvP where others aim to best specific bosses. The most powerful builds offer players the versatility to fight against all manner of enemies and still emerge victorious. By perfectly balancing class bonuses, gear, and abilities, fans have figured out how to master The Lands Between. RELATED: Elden Ring Is Getting a Board Game...

Elden Ring’s wolves work exactly like one would expect, with the enemies having some basic lunge attacks. Outside of the massive Red Wolf of Radagon, there is little reason to be scared of these enemies in a one-on-one fight. Even a Tarnished with limited skill can take out single wolves with ease, as one hit from canines is unlikely to be fatal. However, wolves are truly dangerous when they group up and attack at the same time, especially if one of the stronger white versions is present in the pack....

Cheese can either be seen as a way to cheat FromSoftware’s games if players are unable to handle enemies in the intended way, or as a viable strategy when an enemy’s AI is particularly brutal. Indeed, enemy AI can sometimes clip past certain geometries, but the player can sometimes use environmental structures to their own benefit and smack enemies through walls for safety. Rather, one player has shared evidence that a lack of collision in environments used as a cheese strategy in Elden Ring can fatally backfire....

Meanwhile, fans always have the option to test their skills against other people in the game’s player-versus-player mode, and some players can be just as dangerous as AI-controlled foes like Malenia. Gamers can go directly against one another, invade another player’s world, or use the co-op mode to battle together. Players often use elaborate techniques in PvP fights, but their plans often don’t come to fruition, such as the Elden Ring player who applied several buffs and still lost almost instantaneously....

These Great Runes can have game-changing stats and abilities, depending on a player’s build. The first Great Rune players can get, for example, is from Godrick, and it increases all of their stats in Elden Ring by 5. The impact of such a boost at low levels cannot be understated. However, it seems the language surrounding Great Runes has confused some players, per a recent discussion in the community....

Gamers interested in making Elden Ring easier or more challenging can do so with the help of mods, while another add-on gives players the highly requested photo mode. One useful mod is known as Seamless Co-op and focuses on improving the multiplayer aspect of Elden Ring, allowing fans to play together without the need to use summon signs. Additionally, it’s currently not possible to summon Torrent in multiplayer, but the Seamless Co-op mod enables gamers to do so and explore the world together....

The new Steam Deck, however, seems to have a particularly rough go at running Elden Ring properly, and it’s not due to hardware limitations. One of Valve’s engineers has now announced that this may well change with the next version of Steam Deck’s Windows compatibility layer, Proton.

A key element of Elden Ring, like with other FromSoftware games, is its boss fights. Elden Ring players will have to contend with a variety of bosses during their time with the game, many of which will put up a serious fight and take significant effort on the part of the player and their co-op partners if they hope to defeat them. This will hold true for Elden Ring’s main bosses that players have to beat to get through the story, but the game will also have optional bosses that players can battle as well....
