When first introduced to Smithing Master Hewg at the Roundtable Hold, he seems to be a grumpy sort made to work for the Tarnished against his will. However, he later reveals that he has a passion for smithing and doesn't particularly mind his captivity. In the end, it is revealed that Hewg remained in Roundtable Hold out of obligation rather than due to imprisonment. He was somehow bound by Queen Marika to craft a weapon that would be used to slay a god. Eager to complete that task, he earnestly smiths weapons for the Tarnished until the very

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon is one of Elden Ring’s main bosses that players can encounter early in the game. She can be skipped since only two Great Runes are needed to reach the Altus Plateau. However, Darkdrift Knight Everdark Sovereign players who want or need to respec stats in Elden Ring may prioritize defeating Rennala. Assuming a player reaches Rennala at the appropriate level, she is not overly difficult to fight; she is weak to bleed and physical damage, which players can use to their advant

For a weapon as strong as this, its 18 Intelligence requirement is rather generous, and it gives an S scaling right off the bat. Aside from having to venture into Caelid early, its only other downside is that it can't be upgraded, which is why the Meteorite Staff is great for beginn

Understanding the Erdtree requires knowledge of the Lands Between before the Outer Gods, particularly the Greater Will, take an interest in it. Outer Gods that are seeking power would need to have a reason to choose the Lands Between as the place they seek to spread their influence. The Greater Will wouldn't put in the effort and send the Elden Ring to a land if it doesn't gain anything from controlling that land. What the Greater Will is likely after goes back to a point on the timeline before Elden Ring begins . The first hint at what the Greater Will wants is in the Aspects of the Crucible description, which says, " This is a manifestation of the Erdtree's primal vital energies - an aspect of the primordial crucible, where all life was once blended together." Any object or being capable of holding all life blended together would certainly be a target for the power-hungry Outer G

"How to be Kicked From a Duel in One Simple Step:" they posted, uploading a video showing their character using Law of Regression, which immediately prompts the other player to leave the duel. That's the downside of having mechanics mirror the single-player experience so closely, since either both players can buff up and cancel each other out, or one player can be so overpowered that fun goes out the window for one or both of t

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, 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

To progress through Elden Ring 's White-Faced Varré and his questline (Varré being the NPC representative of the blood-obsessed in-game faction called The Bloody Fingers), Elden Ring players previously needed to accept the Bloody Finger PvP item from him, then invade players in other worlds with it at least three times. The 1.06 update, however, added a new NPC character players can invade in offline mode (his invasion sign can be found near the Writheblood Ruins in Altus Plateau). After defeating Magnus the Beast Claw, a Tarnished who wields a massive Great Stars mace and uses Bestial Incantations, Varré's quest dialogue will progress as if the player had performed their requisite set of PvP duels/invasions in Elden Ring . Besides letting players with no interest in PvP complete a dark yet interesting questline, this new change also makes it easier for speed-runners to gain access to the Mohgwyn Palace region, a popular location for farming "Rune" experience poi

Elden Ring features perhaps the most complex questlines yet crafted, but, due to the game's open-ended nature, most of them are easy to miss. Offering unique missions, awesome items, and hidden bosses, there are some fan-favorite Elden Ring characters for whom first-time players should look

The recent 1.06 update has increased the distance Elden Ring players can roll if lightly equipped or possessed of a high Endurance attribute score. Besides making "naked speedruns" more viable, the "light" encumbrance status also increases the travel distance of players using "Bloodhound Step" or "Quickstep," partially canceling out the nerf FromSoftware applied to these weapon ski
