New Elden Ring Updates You Completely Missed

Fall damage quickly became a source of memes in Elden Ring , as the amount taken seemed highly inconsistent. This meme graph was a player's best way of summarizing the damage they were taking from fall


One of the seemingly most helpful options in Elden Ring is the ability to summon NPCs to the player's aid. Generally, these NPCs can take a small amount of heat off of the player, allowing them some time to deal damage for free. But often times the team effort is futile, and the player ends up leading the NPCs to a quick gr


Previous versions of Elden Ring Strategy Ring had already revolutionized co-op gameplay mechanics first introduced in FromSoftware's earlier Demon's Souls and Dark Souls RPGs . Easily accessed items such as the Furlcalling Finger Remedy and the Tarnished's Furled Finger let players quickly lay down and access summon signs right from the start of an Elden Ring playthrough, while the Small Golden Effigy item lets players send their summon signs to Stakes of Marika located outside nearby boss arenas. The 1.06 patch for Elden Ring expanded the utility of the Small Golden Effigy, adding a new menu where players can choose between sending their summon signs to Stakes in their current region or to distant regions entirely; this new quality-of-life feature will make it easier for players of Elden Ring to seamlessly summon co-op partners outside of peak playtimes while letting other players avoid spoilers by being summoned into places they haven't visited


These meme uses the common format of a Monsters Inc. scene __ to hilariously depict their epic approach to go fight the boss "Radahn." Or, it would be epic if not for them already having been wiped by the boss nine times bef


The recent 1.06 update has increased the distance Elden Ring players can roll if lightly equipped or possessed of a high Endurance attribute score. Besides making "naked speedruns" more viable, the "light" encumbrance status also increases the travel distance of players using "Bloodhound Step" or "Quickstep," partially canceling out the nerf FromSoftware applied to these weapon ski


Sometimes they're in a difficult place to gather them from, and starting a boss fight traps the player in the encounter. Accidentally stumbling into one leaves the player with only two options if they want their runes back, to either defeat the boss or scream "Let me out" at the door like Eric An


In Soulslike RPGs ranging from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 3 , the total weight of a player character's equipment affects how quickly they can roll, and Elden Ring's armor and poise rules are no different. Heavy armor and weapons coupled with low Stamina will cause players to roll slowly and awkwardly, while lighter armor and weapons gives players access to swifter "medium" or "light" rolls with longer periods of invincibil


Paying close attention to attack patterns proves to be key in many of the sticky situations in Elden Ring , but this is most certainly not always the case, especially against those with unpredictable movement. In fact, a few decently common foes can even be more challenging than some of the game's bosses. Having continued to challenge millions of fans around the world with its several strategically focused foes, like Warhawks and Revenants, the question still remains as to which are the hardest of the common o


The Royal Revenant is an optional boss found in the Kingsrealm Ruins in the northwest section of Elden Ring ’s Liurnia of the Lakes . Players can reach the ruins early in the game and find the boss room beneath an illusionary floor in the ruins. While revenants and royal revenants are challenges that can be found in other locations of the game, fighting this Royal Revenant is annoying because of how small the boss room is. Getting pinned against the wall while being poisoned and hit by the boss is a huge possibility. And if players are not careful, they can be killed as soon as they enter the r


The first phase isn't too bad for players who are good at fighting long-distance, in fact, the whole boss fight is a bit easier for those players. But for players who are much more used to the typical hack-and-slash style the game promotes will have a far more difficult time. Thankfully, the bonfire is right beside the boss r


Rennala has two phases to her fight, but the first phase is the most annoying. During the first phase, players must destroy her protective barrier by killing the correct student in the room. Running around and finding the right student sounds simple, but during this phase, her students are throwing items at the player and dropping chandeliers. Meanwhile, Rennala will use a powerful beam attack to devastate unwary players. If a player is not careful during this first phase, they can begin Rennala’s second phase with not enough health or flask of crimson te


If players want a multiplayer experience, Elden Ring also offers that option. While engaging in combat with non-AI-controlled opponents can add a level to gameplay, having real-life competitors means they have the option of not accepting the fight. This happened to x_-AssGiblin-
