The Raptor’s Black Feathers armor in Elden Ring nods to a beloved Bloodborne character, Eileen the Crow. It features a cape crafted with bird feathers, intended to imitate the Elden Ring 's Deathbirds, and is worn by an assassin called Ravenmount. Eileen’s armor has much in common with this set, being adorned with a cape made from crow feathers, similarly invoking worship of birds as figures of de

Commander Niall is another annoying boss. He can be found in Castle Sol in Elden Ring’s Mountaintops of the Giants region. Commander Niall is optional, so players can avoid him and the Castle, but defeating him is essential for players who want the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Left) to access the Consecrated Snowfield locat

One other small but interesting detail regarding these characters highlights another parallel between the worlds of Elden Ring and Bloodborne . Eileen’s armor mentions that the first Hunter of Hunters came from a foreign land. Coincidently, Yura originates from the Land of Reeds, making him a foreigner to The Lands Between, like Elden Ring 's Numen . Such details, along with the heavy focus on cosmic, extraterrestrial beings in both games, fuels speculation that the games could take place on different planets in the same unive

Godfrey continued making history in the Lands Between when he went to war with the Giants because their fire threatened the safety of the Erdtree. However, after defeating the Storm Lord alone, Godfrey lost his guidance of grace and warrior spirit. Godfrey became Elden Ring 's first Tarnished, exiled by Marika along with all his warriors. Godfrey leads his warriors on a long march and eventually takes back the name Hoarah Loux, becoming chieftain of the Badland warriors until the events of the game bring him back to mend the Golden Order. As interesting as this information may be, some large questions have not been answe

Some Putrid Corpses are noxious from polluted bodies of water, while others are full of Scarlet Rot, each type having a different effect on the player. Though most of them tend not to be lethal, fighting them in large groups can be tedious, specifically the hazardous Blistered Putrid Corpses and Rotten Putrid Corpses that cause status effe

FromSoftware has recently released a new patch for Elden Ring _ , their latest RPG, but while some gameplay updates in the patch are extremely obvious, others are less so. The nerfs of extremely powerful weapon skills such as Bloodhound Step and Darkdrift Knight Everdark Sovereign Corpse Piler, for instance, were long awaited by players, but other updates in _Elden Ring 's 1.06 patch are far more subtle and hard to notice if players aren't actively looking for them. These include small buffs to certain weapon move-sets, the elimination of sequence-breaking glitches used by speed-runners, and even a new option for progressing a certain questl

Scattered across The Lands Between are seven paintings that are tied to scavenger hunt quests. These puzzles require the player to find the locations from which each painting was made. When the correct places are found, the player will discover Wandering Artist Spirits. Upon interaction with the spirits, they drop a unique item and disappear. Fans of the Dark Souls series will almost certainly think of the Painted Worlds whenever they come across interact-able paintings in FromSoftware’s Soulsborne gam

The description for the Sun Realm Shield reads: " Shield of honor depicting a city crowned by the sun. It has seen better days. Much like the wear upon the shield, the Seat of the Sun is long faded away. " This is possibly a nod to Anor Londo, the capital city of Lordran from the first Dark Souls . In the lore, Anor Londo was the seat of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, for ages after he and the other Lords discovered the Lord Souls during the advent of f

Painted Worlds appear in the first Dark Souls - the Painted World of Ariamis - and during Dark Souls 3 ’s expansion, Ashes of Ariandel - the Painted World of Ariandel. In both cases, these worlds are accessed when the player interacts with a painting. What follows is a short cutscene of the player character being pulled inside the painting when their hand touches the canvas. The player is then transported to a world entirely separate from the rest of the g

The fight in question saw umihotaru up against a Night's Cavalry who initially presented a fight, but as soon as he fell off his horse and landed on the snowy ground, for some unknown reason his health shot down to zero immediately. He "fell on his ass and died," the user summed up. Yes, he did, and what a hysterical anticlimax it prese

Players can encounter the boss Astel, Naturalborn of the Void late in the game. Defeating him is not necessary for the game’s main storyline; however, if players want to complete Ranni’s storyline, they must defeat Astel. And beating Elden Ring 's Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is not easy, even for those seasoned Soulsborne players. If players can get close enough to him, they will find he is not that hard, but reaching him is annoy
