Olenford’s Staff is essentially just a weaker version of the Witchtree Branch. That weapon can be acquired in many places and isn’t even unique. Despite this, the Olenford Staff actually has higher requirements to wield than the branch, and this useless weapon feels like a joke from the develop
Old Knight Istvan is a summonable NPC for the Demi-Human duo boss fight in the Coastal Cave. While not much is known about Istvan in Elden Ring , the information available to players is he is one of the oldest Tarnished around. As helpful as he is, some players may recognize his name because he is one of the Volcano Manor’s targ
Although the Godskins exist when the player enters the Lands Between, their powers are greatly diminished compared to when they were in their prime. The Godskins were at their full power before Elden Ring takes place and the Age of the Erdtree, when Marika was an empyrean instead of a god and vessel for the Elden Ring. While Marika may not have ascended to godhood yet at that time, she had plenty of reasons to be wary of the Godskins. Marika’s rival for godhood was the leader of the Godskins, the Gloam-Eyed Queen, who is also called their mother. The Gloam-Eyed Queen’s status in the present time of the Lands Between is unknown, but the Two Fingers chose her as an empyrean as well before the Elden Ring had a ves
There are a few historic weapons that don’t quite fit into any of the archetypes listed above, but could probably be introduced in Elden Ring’s future DLC without disrupting gameplay balance. Stone-hurling weapons such as Slings or Sling-Staffs could give players access to a new type of ranged weapon while also letting FromSoftware introduce new item-crafting options (sling bullets made from glowing ruin fragments, crystals, meteor fragments, half-cooled magma, etc). Javelin and dart-hurling stick tools such as the Pre-Columbian atlatl could become the basic of new melee/ranged hybrid weapons in Elden Ring , letting player clobber foes with one-handed attacks, then launch arrows and bolts at distant targets with the two-handed weapon skill. Finally, DLC could introduce a few more gunpowder type weapons to the game without making Elden Ring feel like Bloodborne 2.0 ; history is full of examples of primitive hand-cannons, fire-lances, and primitive rocket launchers that co-existed on the battlefield with traditional medieval methods of
These enemies are the Watchdogs, and they can be found in the Giant’s Mountaintop Catacombs and Giant-Conquering Hero’s Grave in **Elden Ring ** ‘s Mountaintops of the Giants region , and in the Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs in the Consecrated Snowfield region. The Watchdog’s Greatsword can be infused with weapon arts, enchanted with magic and consumables, and requires upgrades to Smithing Sto
Drop rates are closely tied to players’ Discovery attribute, and increasing it will also increase the likelihood of all possible drops from enemies. In addition, players can use runes to level up their Arcane stat to improve Discovery, increasing the damage stats of certain sorceries, incantations, and useable items, such as throwing knives. Players should also try to get and equip the Silver Scarab talisman to get a boost to their Discovery and the Silver Tear Mask to increase their Arcane in Elden Ring . Lastly, players should always try to use the Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot consumable item when farming rare items, as it increases the Discovery stat by 50 for three minu
Elden Ring has several NPCs that can only be summoned when certain steps are taken. Players going through their first few playthroughs of Elden Ring may miss these important steps and not have the chance to summon a certain NPC. Other NPCs can only be summoned when specific choices are made that will drastically alter the game’s storyl
The Gloam-Eyed Queen and her followers having access to a powerful Elden Ring Rune Farming Ring incantation originating from Death itself. Having reasons to go against Marika made them rather threatening to her, and their abuse of power was a problem for the Lands Between as a whole. Marika’s sense of self-preservation led to her not only bringing about the downfall of the Godskins by targeting the source of their power, but also solidified her status in the Lands Between, so she was chosen by the Greater Will as the Elden Ring’s vessel and therefore made into a god. Since Marika was given a shadow, Maliketh, as an empyrean, she ordered him to defeat the Godskins and seal away the source of their power, thus leading to the weakened Godskins players encounter in Elden Ri
These broken weapons are absolute jokes, with appalling stats. While the Straight Sword can be used to make more powerful weapons, it’s basically trash on its own. This has made challenge runs with only the starting equipment one of the most popular in the series. It’s a joke the players play on themselves, but it’s still great at giving them the challenge they cr
