While one would hope that these players still fulfilled their daily tasks and jobs on time, it's very likely that Elden Ring took a priority for some, depicted comedically in the meme. The amount of time players spent on Elden Ring likely led to players finding the multitude of hidden details that the game has to of
Both luckily and unluckily for players, Elden Ring 's patches have largely served to buff rather than nerf. This protects the health of the game by allowing new strategies to arise while avoiding taking away anything from the Elden Ring that players may have enjoyed. However, in practice, this has resulted to the rise of the Rivers of Blood katana meta in Elden Ring , which has left other approaches to the game in the d
Elden Ring 's 1.03 patch thought bosses should have more of a chance, though, and drastically reduced the effectiveness of Hoarfrost Stomp. The patch notes share that the move's casting time and FP cost were increase while its area of effect was decreased. This rendered its staggering effect useless, as bosses and players alike could close in on a Hoarfrost Stomp user and attack in between the usages of the no-longer-spammable Ash of
Malenia will without a doubt be considered the hardest video game boss of 2022. This is a boss that frustrated many Elden Ring players and had them calling it the most difficult boss of any FromSoftware g
Roderika can be encountered very early on in Elden Ring , as she's found hiding out in an abandoned shack near the entrance to Stormveil Castle. While she implies that she once commanded some sort of army, her forces have since been grafted by Godrick the Grafted, leaving her totally bereft. Speaking with her will grant the player the Spirit Jellyfish Ashes, easily one of the best spirit ashes in the game. Plus, should the player find the Chrysalids' Memento in Stormveil Castle and deliver it to her, she will appear in the Roundtable Hold. At that point, selecting certain dialogue options when meeting with Roderika and Smithing Master Hewg results in her unlocking a latent spirit tuning ability. At that point, she'll be able to upgrade the player's spirit as
In Soulslike RPGs ranging from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 3 , the total weight of a player character's equipment affects how quickly they can roll, and Elden Ring's armor and poise rules are no different. Heavy armor and weapons coupled with low Stamina will cause players to roll slowly and awkwardly, while lighter armor and weapons gives players access to swifter “medium” or “light” rolls with longer periods of invincibil
Hoarfrost Stomp was Elden Ring ’s second most effective gimmick and the best tool for speed runners. The Ash of War, which enables players to stomp on the ground and send a wave of ice damage in front of them, could be used by low-level players to eliminate bosses with ease. This is because Hoarfrost Stomp dealt significant damage, cost little FP, had a huge area of effect, was very fast, and staggered opponents. This last facet of the Ash of War was perhaps its best quality, as the stagger allowed speed runners to keep bosses from hitting them while they could just spam Hoarfrost Stomp. YouTuber Schlechtelaunetyp shows just how strong this is even at the beginning of the g
The Moonveil was once considered the most broken weapon in Elden Ring , and it wasn’t even close. The katana comes with the Ash of War “Transient Moonlight,” which essentially is the “Unsheathe” Ash of War with an extended area of effect because of a moon beam that shoots out of the katana after unsheathing. So much about the Moonveil made it incredibly broken at launch: It scales with Dexterity and Intelligence, playing into the meta; it's available soon after choosing a class and starting of Elden Ring , being just northeast of the Third Church of Marika; and most importantly, it deals tons of damage to poise. In PvP, poise is incredibly broken, and in PvE, the poise of bosses can feel infinite. But players like the YouTuber Varsona Vyzelta show how Moonveil could cut through poise like butter; a few swings of Transient Moonlight could send even Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, to his kn
However, Elden Ring ’s 1.03 patch changed everything for Royal Knight’s Resolve. Post-patch, the Ash of War can only enhance the weapon it is on or any equipped shields, leaving its effect largely negligible. What makes this nerf even more effective is that a lot of Elden Ring ’s best weapons come with their own Ash of War that cannot be removed or magically enhanced, Caligo Nightreign meaning Royal Knight’s Resolve cannot be used with most meta weap
The chalice dungeons in Bloodborne are an optional zone for players who want a more challenging experience. While Bloodborne as a whole lacks the type of difficulty most Souls games have, the dungeons make many players change their minds about t
