Not only does its rough, heavy-hitting atmosphere and main character give it its own distinctive charm, but it’s considered quite a bit easier than the Souls series. Though the game has a significant learning curve for players unfamiliar with the genre, equippable armor and relatively easy-to-learn bosses mean it’s not an insurmountable challe
The way through is blocked, however, and you need to find the Caelid entrance in order to fully explore the dungeon. This is worth it for some great weapons: the Cross-Naginata Spear and the Moonveil Katana , one of the best weapons in the g
In addition, if you gave the armor to D’s brother, you can return to Fia’s final resting place and find his brother. The choice is yours from here. You can either slay him or rest at the Site of Grace after exhausting his dialogue to re-attain the Twinned Armor set with the addition of a new item, the Inseparable Sword . This greatsword is Faith-based and comes with the Sacred Blade skill. You can also collect Fia’s robes and hood from this locat
Past your first couple of enemies, you’ll find a corpse with one Golden Rune [5] on him. From this item, face northeast. You’ll spot a passage ahead guarded by two soldiers. Dispatch the soldiers and the Land Octopus further in. Make sure to loot the Smithing Stone [4] growing out of the wall near the entra
When you reach the Great Waterfall Basin, you will have to fight the Twin Gargoyles, one of the more challenging bosses in elden ring Dlc Ring . After defeating the gargoyles, rest at the Site of Grace before entering the open coffin by the waterfa
An action RPG that inspired a Netflix animated adaptation in 2020 and has fans excited for the sequel , Dragon’s Dogma is certainly a match for the Souls games in terms of story and worldbuilding. Though some consider it more similar to an Elder Scrolls game than Dark Souls , the intense hack-and-slash combat is very reminiscent of the FromSoft ser
Though Mortal Shell wears its Dark Souls inspirations proudly, being a melee combat-focused action RPG in a rich and dark fantasy world, it seems directly aimed at players who struggled with the difficulty of the Souls games. The first few hours are no less brutal but the Shell and weapon upgrade systems allow the player to quickly become strong enough to match
Enter the tunnel, and you’ll come across two guards over a pit. Dispatch them and carefully make your way down the pit, dropping down to ledges along the way. On the second ledge you reach, head down the short passage to find one Somber Smithing Stone [2] on a corpse. Continue carefully descending the ledges until you reach the site of grace at the bot
It’s important to note that the game employs a traditional leveling system and failing to be wary of that can lead to massive wipeouts if the player tries to fight a boss before they’re ready for it. Nevertheless, with different difficulty settings and AI allies to help out in fights, it’s a much more accessible experience over
Despite being a newer anime that came out in 2022 , Black Summoner has already garnered a following and is notable for its animation and setting. It’s a consistently exciting experience that sees the main character, Kelvin, having exchanged his memories for power to overcome bigger and more ferocious foes. Elden Ring is known for its tough encounters, and Black Summoner has a lot of overlapping similarities that undoubtedly hearken back to some of Elden Ring ‘s most intense mome
Travel through Nokron until you find the Ancestral Woods Site of Grace.

As a bonus, you will find the powerful Mimic Tear Spirit Ashes in one of the buildi
Whereas the Souls games mostly require the player to improve, there is a real power progression for the player as they continue the game that is just as satisfying without any of the frustration. Mortal Shell is an indie game, so it doesn’t have quite the level of customization options as a Souls game, but it’s a surprisingly comprehensive alternat
To officially start her questline, you must reach the Altus Plateau . There are several ways to reach the Altus Plateau , but the simplest is to collect both halves of the Dectus Medallion . You can find the first half at Fort Haight in Southeast Limgrave and the other half at Fort Faroth in Caelid (See above image). Once you have collected both halves, make your way to the Grand Lift of Dect
Return to the main mining passage and clear the rest of the enemies. Be careful; one of the enemies beneath the stairs has a warning horn , which he’ll blow once he notices you. This will alert the enemies in the immediate vicinity. Once you’ve cleared the enemies from this section, you can find one Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot behind some barrels in the back, two Smithing Stone [4] growing from the cavern walls, and plenty of Cracked Crys
