Invaders are a staple in FromSoftware titles, one of the main aspects that can make the developer’s games difficult. This continues in Elden Ring, with invaders being able to enter the world of another player with the intent to kill them. Depending on what the player is doing, this can become a big hindrance. Especially if the invader decides to use the horse of a merchant as a body shield....
One of the most famous and potent weapons in Elden Ring is the Rivers of Blood katana. This katana is one of the most overpowered weapons in the game and has a reputation for melting the health bars of even the strongest bosses. Its default Ash of War is Corpse Piler, a devastating attack that forms successive slashes of cursed blood over an extended area, causing blood loss buildup. Rivers of Blood is one of the few armaments that works equally well in PvE and PvP modes....
In addition to the features mentioned above, the FromSoftware title is known for its state-of-the-art character creator, which many believe to be the best in the industry. This tool allows fans to create their characters based on real and fictional personalities in Elden Ring. These include celebrities like William Dafoe, Snoop Dogg, and Johnny Depp and fictional icons like Iron Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The Joker from DC Universe....
With Malenia being so difficult, some players have sought to cheesing the boss rather than taking her on in the normal way. Cheesing refers to when a difficult enemy is defeated with means that essentially give the player an unfair advantage. In the past, plenty of Elden Ring players have come up with Malenia cheesing methods, including one which involved a “pizza cutter” weapon constantly staggering the boss.

RELATED: Elder Scrolls Online: Things You Should Know Before Starting The Deadlands DLC Irncifel the Despoiler, Kothan the Razorsworn, and Vorsholazh the Anvil are harder than normal world bosses, spawning with higher health pools and being capable of much stronger attacks. While all three of the new Elder Scrolls Online Wandering Bosses follow the same attack patterns and behavior, finding them is a different story. Ircifel, Kothan, and Vorsholazh: The Deadlands Havocrels The three Wandering Executioners of the Deadlands are Havocrels, a race of blind, enormous Daedra who serve no specific Prince (though most of the Havocrels players see in The Elder Scrolls Online serve Mehrunes Dagon)....

Ravensword: Shadowlands is a medieval fantasy RPG developed by indie studio Crescent Moon that was originally released for iOS and Android in March 2013 before making the jump to PC later that year. The title has mixed reviews on Steam, but its smaller scale should make it fit nicely on the lower-powered Switch, especially for fans of the popular Elder Scrolls series.

The annual Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study, released today, ranks satisfaction on a 1,000-point scale. In 2021, the process ranked at 789. Today, the number is 786. Among the factors impacting the dissatisfaction are new vehicle price increases due to lack of supply on dealership lots. Some models are more in demand than others. Half of the Honda CR-Vs that come from the factory are pre-sold. New models like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Bronco are sold out for years, aside from the odd one-off that a customer rejects at the last minute....
The promise of artificial intelligence continues to impart a sense of trepidation in modern society. Consumers see numerous examples of murderous robots and AI gone wrong in media, and the cyberpunk genre often incorporates AI in some way, with Cyberpunk 2077 as a recent example. TV shows like Black Mirror toy with the possibilities of AI technology in sometimes horrifying or hopeful ways.

“I need someone to explain why this was a booth at my daughter’s school Woolmarket Elementary at a spring PTO meeting?” said the woman, Alexis Weathersby, in a Facebook post published April 7 that has now been shared over 200 times. The Sun Herald reported that the fair took place April 2, at Woolmarket Elementary in Biloxi. Multiple vendors attended, including one local known as the “Flag Lady.” She was the vendor selling the flags that have drawn widespread attention across the community....
Despite trading in his red Chiefs jersey for the teal Miami jersey, Hill clearly hadn’t forgotten his beef with Apple, who talked plenty of trash after the Bengals beat the Chiefs in the AFC Championship and proceeded to offer Hill and Mecole Hardman tickets to the Super Bowl. Before the Thursday clash in Cincinnati, Hill said he couldn’t wait to face Apple and said that he owes Apple. The Bengals corner, for his part, was quiet throughout the week....

Thankfully, staying friends with Torrent is easy in Elden Ring. Because in true Soulsborne fashion, he also has quite the personality even if he doesn’t speak and only eats berries. This has led to some cultured meme moments among the players....
For most bosses in Elden Ring, the player will be provided with a Site of Grace or a Stake of Marika close to the boss arena, so that returning to the boss repeatedly after dying doesn’t take too much time. Dragonlord Placidusax, however, is one of the most frustrating bosses to die against in Elden Ring, as players will then have to repeat the arduous process of reaching its boss arena located....
Elden Ring co-op is designed in a way that essentially allows players to play through the entire game together, just in a more inconvenient fashion. Elden Ring co-op players could start off at a Site of Grace, progress with their friends all the way to the area boss, defeat the boss, and then simply summon their friends back into the world immediately after they’re kicked out. Kicking co-op partners out at all just adds a needless extra step to the proceedings....
Miyazaki is the president of FromSoftware and the mind behind the Souls series, which Elden Ring reportedly takes some inspiration from. Miyazaki was pivotal to the success of the early Souls series game Demon’s Souls, as FromSoftware believed the game would flop and therefore gave Miyazaki some extra creative freedom. Since then, Miyazaki has taken the lead on the highly successful Souls series and has also worked on other games with similar aesthetics and combat, including Bloodborne and 2019 Game of the Year winner Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....
With so much to see in Elden Ring, though, even the most thorough gamers will likely miss out on a dungeon or two. While it is always possible to come back to these areas later, gamers will likely be overleveled since they have already explored elsewhere. This ensures that dungeons which would normally be challenging are a cakewalk, making the experience less fun - something that From Software should strive to avoid going forward....
The theme of in-game areas can be defined by different aspects. FromSoftware games like Dark Souls often have their areas defined by difficulty, but the best tool in a game designer’s arsenal for making a level feel distinct is the color palette. RELATED: Elden Ring Player Uses Colorful Stones to Decorate Giant Skull Elden Ring made the most of its colors in designing the game’s huge open world. Not only could players recognize any location from the map by being shown the landscape of the area, but it’s also likely they could guess the area just by being shown the color palette....
Featured in many FromSoftware titles, the character creation feature allows players to make whatever type of character they want. This creative freedom is even more prominent in the developer’s most recent game, Elden Ring. Since releasing the title, players have made stunning characters using the in-game creation tools.

While exploring the Lands Between, gamers will eventually cross paths with numerous Elden Ring bosses, most of which are optional and aren’t required to defeat in order to progress the storyline such as Malenia - Blade of Miquella, Crucible Knight, Ancestor Spirit, and Magma Wyrm Makar.
