Don't let The Legend of Zelda 's or Nintendo's family-friendly image fool you; Breath of the Wild has appeal for all ages. It also doesn't rely on nostalgia to sell itself, as the game genuinely compels players to explore every corner of its vast open world, all while eventually making their way toward facing Ga


Limgrave Tunnels is one of the earliest accessible caves in the Lands Between, located to the north after approaching the Agheel’s Lake surface. Limgrave Tunnel has a roundabout road with many hidden walls that require players' intuit


In this boss fight, Radahn is seen as a hulking Demigod riding a comically small horse. In a surprisingly sweet and funny piece of lore, the main reason that the General learned cosmic abilities was so that he wouldn't have to hurt or leave his beloved normal-sized horse beh


The Aberrant sorceries are one of these unique schools of magic. The Aberrant sorcerers were criminals banished to the Mountaintops of the Giants long ago, where they found their " blood star ," according to the Briars of Punishment Spell. This Blood Star gains power through blood sacrifices according to Mad Tongue Alberich's clothing in Elden Ring , which explains why the Glintstones on his suit and the Aberrant sorcerers are


Sleep is an affliction that has a build-up meter like Bleed or Curse, and once it fills it'll put the victim into a harmless sleep condition and much more weak to attacks. The Godskin Duo and Apostle can be put to sleep, providing an excellent opportunity to deal a devastating critical str


This occult mystery is related to the Nox people of the Eternal Cities, who used Night sorceries. This is because in Elden Ring the Moon of Nokstella that was cherished by the Nox is likely the same moon Ranni discovered as a child, as this would explain hers and Radahn's interest in the Nox. According to the Moon of Nokstella's description, the Dark Moon guided the stars and attracted them toward it. This suggests that the Full Moons in some way hold power over the Glintstone sorcer


Radagon left his betrothed for Queen Marika, leaving the Full Moon Queen Rennala to go mad and eternally depressed. It's later revealed that Radagon and Marika are technically one and the same, with the former being a physical off-shoot of the lat


From these four elden ring bosses Ring items' essential descriptions , it's possible to piece together a sold picture of Rykard's original motivations and current agenda. The blasphemous serpent Rykard fed himself to was an immortal being, capable of resurrecting from death; by becoming one with it, Rykard would similarly become immortal, able to challenge the Erdtree over and over until he defeated it. Furthermore, Rykard and the serpent he was part of could grow more powerful with every new victim devoured. And so the Volcano Manor – both as a place and an institution – became a vessel for feeding Rykard's appetites. The wheeled machines called the Abductor Virgins would drag new bodies or recruits to join Elden Ring 's Volcano Manor , while the finest assassins of the Manor were invited to have "audience" with their lord, who would devour them and add their strength to his


The overworld bosses of Elden Ring __ are those bosses who roam around the Lands Between freely. While some of these characters can be tucked away behind the yellow veils that designate boss battle rooms, their fights can be initiated by simply waltzing into the wrong area at the wrong time. But most simply stand or walk in a select area, waiting for the Tarnished to approach t


That pedigree was enough to create an RPG with narrative stakes and a combat system that features customization, magical and physical elements, and a good dose of strategy required from the player. Getting through the game's main quest-line is itself a massive satisfaction, and once it's over, gamers wish they could replay it again for the first t


Mass Effect 2 stepped up the story from the first game, innovating even further by using the Mass Effect 1 save file to influence the second game, so while players could go in without having played the first game, having done so provided an extra bonus. Without that, though, the story is still incredibly well-acted, written, and designed. Best of all, it's welcoming for new play


Part of the fun in these games is the immersion of being thrust into a land where the player is trying to piece together the story of the world just like the character is. These mysteries range from being small but tasteful pieces of worldbuilding to having massive implications for the story of the Lands Between and some gameplay-centric featu


Lakeside Crystal Cave is much more than what meets the eye. It seems just like any other normal cave, except for the fact that it has a heavy story connected to it. It's most likely Gideon Ofnir's improvised prison where he keeps Latenna shackled until she hopefully reveals the location of the other half of the Haligtree Medall
