Fia’s ending in _Elden Ring _ raises more questions than answers. Also known as the “Age of the Duskborn,” Fia’s ending causes a mist to descend onto the Lands Between. Given Fia’s association with Godwyn the Prince of Death, players have suspected that this mist represents - and even causes - the end of immortality in the Lands Between. However, diving deeper into the lore behind the Duskborn ending makes it clear this is not the whole story behind this mysterious m

The humble NPC Thops, a self-described “Bluntstone” sorcerer players can encounter near Liurnia of the Lakes, may actually be the Glintstone Sorcerer closest in spirit to the non-militant astrologers or yore. He can sell players the Starlight spell, which conjures up a long-lasting ball of blue light, and at the end of his questline creates the Thop's Barrier spell, a temporary shield capable of deflecting attacks from Elden Ring 's final b

The Immortal Great Serpent convinced Lord Rykard that to achieve immortality and power beyond anything he's ever imagined, he would need to sacrifice his physical form by being devoured by the giant sn

Finally, this mist being dead souls is the theory that makes the most sense for what happens in the Age of the Duskborn cutscene. Some have speculated that the mist is essentially what is conjured in Fia’s spell “Fia’s Mist,” which casts a mist filled with Death Blight. While this seems like a logical connection to the Age of the Duskborn ending, it doesn’t fit with what happens. If Fia’s Mist were to envelop the Lands Between, it would kill all Tarnished including the player. But since the Tarnished lives, it is made clear that the mist is not Fia’s Mist in Elden Ring . Instead, it must be the dead souls once contained in the Erdtree, because this better reflects the principle of death being integrated back into Or

Elden Ring takes the medieval fantasy setting and goes all out on it with a setting that feels lived in, in every single part. Some could say that areas are over-saturated with enemies, but this is not necessarily the case as it creates much more ecologically vibrant settings for the players to expl

The 2019 MediEvil remake of the over-20-year-old game is a game where the player plays as a knight that was killed in battle. When this hero is accidentally resurrected by a necromancer then this knight gets a second chance to be able to become a hero by saving the world from the evil necromancer that resurrected the pla

The Helphen's Steeple Greatsword, dropped by a Tibia Mariner enemy in Elden Ring 's Mountaintops of the Giants area , is a dark, barbed long-sword designed to be wielded by spell-sword character builds in Elden Ring . The Ruinous Ghostflame skill of this weapon envelopes the blade in a shroud of ghostly flame that deals extra damage and inflicts the Frostbite status effect. The 1.07 patch increased the damage, duration, and poise attrition granted by this skill while also shortening its recovery time, making the sinister-looking Helphen's Steeple a much more viable weapon for Elden Ring Collectibles Ring players who want to cosplay cursed sword-wielding fictional characters like Elric of Melniboné, wielder of Stormbringer, or Arthas Menethil from Warcraft, wielder of Frostmou

Poisoned by lust for power and crippled by the seductive serpent's whisper, Lord Rykard permitted the Immortal Great Serpent to consume his body, allowing him to take on the form of Rykard, Lord of Blasph

Most Sorcerer character builds in Elden Ring will have memorized Terra Magica, a sigil-conjuring spell that boosts damage from any spells or magic weapons used within its stationary area of effect. In fact, most players with one-shot Sorcery character builds start by casting Terra Magica, drinking a Flask of Wonderous Physick with Crystal Tears that boost magic damage and briefly eliminate FP consumption, then cast a spell like Comet Azur or Meteorite of Astel to deal continuous damage until Elden Ring 's Graced Tarnished player character runs out of FP. Fewer players make use of the niche Lucidity spell, a one-of-its kind Glintstone Sorcery that cleanses characters of the Sleep and Madness status effects. Finally, the humble Scholar's Shield spell enchants a player character's shield with a magical aura, buffing its ability to block damage to a character's health and po

Rykard's obsession finally paid off as the whispers he had begun to hear grew louder in his head, their words comforting and alluring, promising great fortunes for him. Those whispers belonged to an ancient and malevolent demigod, The Immortal Great Serpent. Rykard turned the once mighty castle of Volcano Manor into a meat factory serving the bodies of the Lands Between bravest and boldest to the true Lord of Mt. Gelmir, the voracious serp

The newest patch for Elden Ring , 1.07, has stirred excitement among fans of FromSoftware action RPGs for two specific reasons; first, it has given each game weapon separate damage scaling for PvP and PvE combat, and second, it has significantly buffed the performance of weapons traditionally viewed as suboptimal by the Elden Ring community. Players looking to start a new playthrough of Elden Ring should definitively check out the weapons explored below, each of which has become much more fun to use thanks to their adjusted damage, attack speed, poise depletion, area of effect, and/or status effect build
