Elden Ring Weapons That Prove You're Still Playing Dark Souls

In the Sage's Cave dungeon, found by exploring the Altus Plateau area of Elden Ring , players can encounter a mini-boss named Necromancer Garris, who fights players with a flail weapon that can summon skull-faced projectiles of Ghostflame. Defeating this boss earns players the aforementioned Family Heads flail weapon, described as having " three bludgeoning copper heads " that were made to resemble the Necromancer's wife and two child

This little guy is easy to miss as he resides in a rather inconspicuous spot donning a fairly good disguise. If you do spot him, however, you'll find that he has one of the more tear-jerking stories to be told in the g

The first Erdtree Avatar you'll want to go after is located in the Weeping Peninsula. The easiest way to get there is to travel to the South of the Lookout Tower Site of Grace and on the road that leads west, you will see the large Erdtree in the dista

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

This move is fairly easy to avoid, but it’s the Putrid Avatar variation that makes it so devastating. The Putrid Avatar leaps up into the air , then slams down hard. When it hits the ground, it sprays a heavy dose of Scarlet Rot in a wide cone in front of it . This move can be devious, as one would think the Scarlet Rot sprays all around it, so you'd think it’s best to run away—this isn’t true. The Scarlet Rot sprays in a forward cone, and it covers quite a lot of gro

Once you have reached the Erdtree, this ugly behemoth will await you, surrounded by large broken pots. Once you have done battle with the enemy, you will be rewarded with Opaline Bubbletear as well as the Crimsonburst Crystal Te

His appearance in elden Ring Maps Ring doesn't disappoint, showcasing just how trustworthy the "Trusty" Patches is . Although quite conniving and cowardly, there is a particular scene later on that may or may not leave you questioning just what Patches was really doing in The Lands Between to begin w

Many FromSoftware fans have compared the Ornstein and Smough boss fight to the Godskin Duo boss fight in Elden 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

The Avatar variants don’t have a terribly deep move set at their disposal, and each move is well-telegraphed, which helps quite a bit. Taking a direct hit can do quite a bit of damage, so you’ll want to pay extra attention to this boss’ tells and when an attack is coming down. This guide will not cover every attack in this boss’ move set, but it will instead cover the ones that tend to cause the most grief to play

In the Leyndell Royal Capital area, Elden Ring players can acquire the Thunderbolt Ash of War item; when equipped to a weapon, this Ash of War (and the Honed Bolt Incantation spell) lets players summon a golden lightning bolt nearly identical to that of the Dragonslayer Swordspear from Dark Souls 3 . This special attack, along with other golden lightning attacks in Elden Ring , seems to emulate the abilities of the **Elden Ring ** demigod Godwyn the Golden , the firstborn of Queen Marika. Like the Nameless King, Godwyn fought the ancient dragons who attacked the Royal Capital, but then tried to befriend them instead. Unlike the Nameless King, Godwyn was able to forge a lasting peace between his Golden Order and the Ancient Dragons, even founding a benevolent cult of dragon worshipers among his own peo
