Bandai Namco finally jumped on board with the popularity of the soulslike games and created Code Vein .

Elden Ring _ offers players a ton of variety regarding armaments, and some of these can be extremely difficult to get, as the rarest weapons can have a drop rate as low as 0.5%. The rarest weapons in the game are not necessarily always the best. However, quite a few rare drops are indeed very powerful. Yet, this is not the only reason to seek out rare drops, as many players value the bragging rights that come from spending the time and effort needed to acquire weapons in _Elden Ring with unique appearances. A few rare armaments in the game also possess unique arts or passives, which may synergize uniquely with certain skills or bui
The rich, detailed world-building of Elden Ring stems from two creative sources. The mythology, prehistory, and semi-divine champions of Elden Ring were designed by George R.R. Martin, author of the dark fantasy novel series A Song of Ice And Fire .

The Watchdog’s Greatsword is a unique-looking Colossal Greatsword that resembles a lump of stone, and although it is not the best in its class, it is still a compelling option for fans of Strength builds. Although this sword doesn’t possess the lowest drop rate, which is 8%, its rarity comes from the fact that only a handful of enemies have a chance to drop it, making the process of farming it quite difficult. On top of their scarcity, these enemies are also very tough and deal a lot of damage, and it is advisable that players use lighting, or strike damage weapons, as they are the most effective at staggering t
