Elden RIng's Miquella Is Less Saintly Than You Think

FromSoftware's newest game **Elden Ring , ** a dark fantasy action RPG with challenging combat and open-world exploration, takes place in a separate universe from the games of the Dark Souls trilogy. That said, not a few weapons and combat skills in Elden Ring draw direct inspiration from the armaments wielded by major characters in Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 , and Dark Souls 3 . Some of these weapons were likely ported into Elden Ring as a shout-out to long-time fans of FromSoftware games, while other weapons, skills, and magical effects seem to be attempted to improve on poorly executed Dark Souls weapon conce

The fantasy backdrop that the game presents makes the tones of the game feel a lot darker. There is magic but no electricity to ever make the player or the enemy that the player is stalking feel safe. The stealth mechanics are also fun as they provide strategic combat opti

Though the game isn't the best, its setting is during the crusades as well as introduced an interesting world of historical assassins that helped in taking out evil to accompany that time period. The sci-fi backstory wasn't heavily developed but also introduced the larger story that would come in later ga

When Elden Ring was first announced at E3 2019, FromSoftware gave a cryptic reveal of what would soon become one of their most extraordinary creative and newly popular games. With, at the least, nearly four years of development, there was an incredible amount of love and time put into the making of what has become many Souls fans' favorite g

Assassin's Creed might not be the best game in the series as most of the game involves the player getting to a target and then killing that target easily. There isn't really much else to it, and it left many of those who ended up buying it feeling extremely disappointed when it first came out. The gameplay was somewhat enjoyable with the parkour mechanic, and the idea was there which created a base for its sequ

Elden Ring is chock-full of interesting NPCs with equally interesting backstories. Even after being the game, especially if you were to do so more than once, you might find yourself thinking back fondly on several of them just due to how unforgettable they w

The four main Sleep-inducing tools of the game - the Sleep Arrows, the Sleep Pots, the Soporific Grease, the Elden Ring Sword of Saint Trina and St. Trina's Torch - are all associated with the mysterious St. Trina, described in item text as being either a young girl or boy and most decidedly not an adult. Many FromSoftware fans had guessed that Miquella and St. Trina were the same person before said guess was confirmed by the discovery of a cut quest-line revolving around the collecting of dreams from sleeping enemies and an NPC named Rico. Lying dormant in Elden Ring 's files is cut dialogue where the NPC Rico realizes St. Trina and Miquella are one and the same, and moreover, that Miquella is cultivating a dream world in his he

Many FromSoftware fans have compared the Ornstein and Smough boss fight to the Godskin Duo boss fight in Elden Ring builds Ring , which similarly features a lanky and round pair of enemies fighting together. The character archetype of Smough, however, seems to be more closely emulated by the Fire Prelate enemy, who dresses in bulky armor designed to mimic a rotund human body. Killing the Fire Prelate in Fort Laeiid nets players a massive, Smough-style hammer called the Prelate's Inferno Crozier, while a Scarab Beetle found in Elden Ring 's boss-heavy Mountaintops of the Giants area drops the Prelate's Charge Ash of War, which lets players mimic Smough's signature ramming att

Dung Eater is disgusting from his name to the entirety of his being as he serves as one of the most malevolent evils in the Elden Ring lore. He has no real purpose other than to cause havoc around the world. How he does this is by murdering innocent people and then defiling t

World of Warcraft takes the fantasy medieval setting and expands upon it more than any game has ever done so in the past. It has lore that is as dense as actual history books as the game has been around for almost 20 years. The expansions have continued to create new areas for the player to expl

This is a faithful remake as it stayed true to the concept of the original game but remade every single design and enemy in the game. The game as its title suggests includes many medieval areas like the haunted castle for players to explore, but the combat can feel a little dated at ti

A Plague Tale: Innocence creates a game that is fueled by historical fiction that has players in a medieval fantasy setting where the stakes are really high. The stakes are high as the player is in charge of taking care of a kid in an environment where everyone and everything wants to kill t

These games allow players to open up their minds in creating a character that represents themselves well or lets them take on a life that isn't like theirs. There is a lot of freedom in the medieval fantasy genre in the way the world is experienced through the eyes of players' choices. Two experiences are almost always completely uni
