There are 42 achievements to obtain in Elden Ring and most of these require the player to defeat the bosses that will be encountered in the world of Limgrave. Its beautiful and dangerous landscapes have lots of lore hidden for the player to discover. The world-building is arguably more vast and in-depth than its predecessors, as Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin helped create Elden Ring’s world and characters....
Despite their presence in these Elder Scrolls games, it’s clear that this elven race is no longer as prominent as it used to be. In fact, they seem to have died out by the Third and Fourth eras. This is the consequence of the Ayleids’ systematic maltreatment of humans.

As it happens, existing players on either Mac or PC who purchase the digital upgrade of The Elder Scrolls Online’s Morrowind expansion or the collector’s edition will get access to the DLC starting on May 22, 2017. Those who do will end up getting a full two weeks’ advantage of playtime over console owners, as the add-on is officially set to launch next month on June 6, 2017. Taking this into consideration, it’s important to note that this early access period is not going to just be a portion of The Elder Scrolls Online’s Morrowind expansion, and it’s not primed to be only a preview where progress that a PC or Mac player makes will be wiped clean afterward....
Don’t believe us? Well, take a look at this TikTok video of a pair of seniors beating their grandson and his friends at a game of beer pong. In the video, posted to the video-sharing app by user Ross Smith, known online as @rosssmith, a group can be seen playing beer pong on a balcony. In the footage, young men are standing around a table when an elderly woman, wearing a yellow floral sundress, throws a table tennis ball into a red disposable cup....

Because of the high level of difficulty, some players will go to extreme lengths in order to prepare for fights. Preparation varies in the game, with some Elden Ring players farming ridiculous amounts of runes to others searching for the best armor and weapons for the fight they are heading into. RELATED: Elden Ring Glitch Makes Night’s Cavalry Lose Their Horse However, there is another way for players to prepare themselves for fights: buffs....
To use one of Elden Ring’s Mimics, players will need to head to Night’s Sacred Ground in Nokron, opening a chest behind one of the imp statue doors. Widely viewed as the strongest Summon Ashes in the game, Mimics work exactly like the Mimic Tear boss battle. They will copy player loadouts as closely as possible, with the AI then using the items that gamers have equipped. Essentially, players can make two copies of themselves, drawing the attention of bosses and making for far easier encounters....
Since the advent of the original Demon’s Souls, FromSoftware’s approach to storytelling has been somewhat obtuse. Rather than relying on fleshed-out exposition and dialogue, FromSoftware tends to focus on the player’s discovery of certain aspects of the in-game world more than the history of said aspects. That same sentiment also applies to the story of Elden Ring. So for fans of the game who are looking for a clearer understanding of the narrative, the director of Elden Ring has provided answers....
Elden Ring is going to be FromSoftware’s first open-world Soulsborne game, a prospect that has many players very excited. While open world games come with their own challenges, they also provide players a way to customize their experience with the game without needing some kind of artificial easy mode added in. There are still plenty of valid arguments for why an easy mode should be included, but it’s worth taking a look at Elden Ring’s open world and understanding that it will likely alleviate many of the problems that casual players had with the other Soulsborne games in the past....
The game seldom holds players’ hands to guide them on a set path, instead, it allows them to experience the game’s richly-detailed world at their own pace. Elden Ring puts player freedom at the forefront, allowing them to create builds that suit their tastes and playstyles. The game’s abundant combat options have something for every player to craft their own build, be it a melee-focused brawler, a pure faith prophet, or a mage....
According to data released by SteamSpy, Elden Ring has sold over 10 million copies on Steam in just a week. However, it is worth pointing out that SteamSpy only shows game sales estimates by keeping track of the number of players who own a game. Players should also remember that SteamSpy only tracks public profiles, so players whose accounts remain private are not counted, which means that sales figures of Elden Ring on PC could be more than 10 million....
Valve Corporation and AMD began working on a portable gaming device a while back, and rumors began circulating in May 2021, and the official announcement came in July. In the meantime, FromSoftware developed Elden Ring which was released on multiple platforms this week.

Dance pads are controllers that take the form of a flat mat designed to register input when players step on specific areas marked as buttons. They’re usually intended for use with dancing games, not action games. This isn’t the first time gamers have managed to beat a Soulsborne game using a dance pad, but it may be one of the most impressive examples. RELATED: Elden Ring is Still Being Review Bombed...
Elden Ring’s bosses are abundant and particularly fearsome if players find themselves in a locale that they are considerably under-leveled in. Fortunately, players can access almost any area at any time if they wish, and previous areas can be returned to when players have leveled up and retrieved new armaments to make boss battles more evenly favored. Instead, one player has displayed their creative use of cheese to definitively dispatch an enemy that they were unable to beat the old-fashioned way....
Friendly denizens are rather hard to come by in the Lands Between, though Elden Ring certainly boasts more than previous FromSoftware games. Even when players could summon phantoms to aid them with challenging boss fights, the available help was nothing particularly overpowered. Elden Ring’s Spirit Ashes altered this philosophy to a significant extent, granting players the means to summon powerful ghostly companions capable of achieving victory, even against bosses, single-handedly....
That brings the discussion to the Souls-dominated era of FromSoftware. Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring all revolve around the core tenets of dark fantasy writing, and have grisly beasts and horrifying lore to match. Elden Ring is the culmination of all of this, packing some of the worst sights FromSoftware and George R. R. Martin could come up with into one enormous game. Dark holes with nameless beasts, forces devoted to ethnic cleansing, and magic gone awry will all cross the player’s path....
The synopsis of both games is that the player takes the role of a hero reborn to rid the world of a state of darkness. Both games are set in a Tolkien-esque fantasy setting, and both have ties to folklore as inspiration for in-game settings and events. Their similarities may also reveal the overall plot structure of Elden Ring.

One of the most intimidating aspects of Elden Ring, apart from the brutal boss battles and gameplay segments, is the music. There are various boss themes in Elden Ring that are oftentimes horrifying to listen to. In fact, Post Malone mentioned in an interview that he can’t play Elden Ring with the music on, because of how intense the music and lyrics can often be. Now, it seems that the frightening lyrics sung in the background songs are actually complete gibberish....
The comment comes from Bloomberg Reporter Jason Schreier, who makes a comparison between Elden Ring and George R. R. Martin’s upcoming book Winds of Winter. Winds of Winter has been worked on by Martin now for close to 10 years. The entirety of the Game of Thrones television show was produced and released during this window. The clear message is that Elden Ring news, and perhaps even a release date, is unlikely to be too far out....
