Godrick the Grafted is Elden Ring’s first demigod boss. He is a descendent of the Golden Lineage of Queen Marika and Godfrey. However, he is so far down the line that he possesses none of its remarkable qualities. He claimed a shard of the Elden Ring during the Shattering but was promptly defeated by General Radahn and Malenia. The latter so sorely beat him that he was forced to beg for me

Ten years later, Dark Souls is still important as one of the most groundbreaking and influential video games in history. Soul Arts featured some of the best concept artworks focused on the unseen lands mentioned, but never visited within the lore and gameplay of Dark Souls . Artist Brent Lecluyse’s two conceptual artworks of the land of Carim, a land praying for the end of the Undead Curse, as undeath is treated quite harshly in the city. Throughout the gameplay of Dark Souls , one can encounter quite a few characters of Carim, yet never visit nor learn much more about the land for themselves. Brent Lecluyse’s imaginative rendering of what Carim could have been within Dark Souls is a powerful reminder of all the lore and secrets still kept within the three Dark Souls ga

After Lord Rykard claimed his Elden Ring shard , he vowed to overthrow the Golden Order and oppose the Greater Will. This act awarded him the title of Lord of Blasphemy, but many still chose to join his cause. One of the Shattering’s most horrific battles was fought just outside his stronghold of Volcano Manor, and, like many battles in the war, no clear victor emerged. As a result, Rykard sought to augment his power in a despicable

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 . Hidetaka Miyazaki and other convention-beaking Elden Ring developers then took Martin's base setting and used it to create the beautifully ruined Lands Between setting players encounter at the start of a playthrough: a once-prosperous kingdom torn apart by a civil war fought between the Demigod children of Queen Marika, haunted by strange monsters and alien beings, with secretive conspiracies searching for the power and methods needed to create a new

At the beginning of the game, players must choose one weapon to wield, each heavily impacting the gameplay style for the rest of the playthrough. While SteelRising lets players swap each weapon to experiment with, they too can greatly change combat from person to person and some looking for a challenge might just like Bloodborne 's weapon choi

This is a city worth exploring to see the amount of detail that went into creating it that some should consider despite being a completely different genre. And with robotic threats ready to shoot Dewitt, it shares some interesting strategies to take them down that those looking for similar gameplay approaches might appreci

Whips are found in many Soulslike games and can be powerful in the hands of a skilled player. In Elden Ring , there are only a few whips available, but Hoslow's Petal Whip is one of the coolest players should try. The whip comes with the Kick Skill, but its Ash of War can still be changed to fit the character's build. And like other whips, it inflicts decent levels of bleed damage that can be increased if a player equips two Petal Wh

After defeating Godfrey, the First Elden Lord in his persona of Hoarah Loux, Elden Ring Nightreign Ring players will receive a Remembrance with the following description: " When Godfrey, first Elden Lord was robbed of his grace, becoming Tarnished, he took with him his kinfolk and left the Lands Between. After the Long March of the Tarnished came to an end, Godfrey divested himself of kingship, becoming a simple warrior once mor

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

Though Demon’s Souls features director Miyakazi’s favorite boss fight , it is missing artist Timothy Kelly’s sixth Archstone concept of the Twisted City. Soul Arts describes the Twisted City as a place that is warped and bent, with snow and mist shimmering across the landscape. The Twisted City was woven from pre-existing fabric by The Weaver, whose presence is all around the city. Everything there was a twisted version of the City of Giants. In the Twisted City, shadows change everything about the city. Timothy Kelly’s art, as well as the written concept by VaatiVidya, make for a very intriguing storyline that is just the beginning of the "what-ifs" introduced in Soul Ar
