The ripple effects of Malenia’s Scarlet Rot blooming don’t just end with Radahn and the lands overall, as the Elder Dragon Greyoll is another victim and piece of collateral damage from the Empyrean’s last-gasp attempt to defeat her brother. Greyoll is something of an overworld miniboss in one of the toughest areas of Elden Ring , but despite having a daunting amount of health, this dragon is quite physically w
A dystopian, post-apocalyptic world makes for the perfect setting for this open-world action RPG from Bandai Namco and, while it’s full of deadly monsters, the game does a lot to help the player out in the fight against them. The biggest selling point of Code Vein is that the player always has an AI partner or a friend to help out in fig
FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has been a huge success in 2022 from critical and commercial perspectives, effectively elevating the Souls-like formula started in Demon’s Souls . One piece of the game’s winning formula is its deep lore and world-building. This is nothing new for FromSoftware fans, as these action RPGs all have subtle yet deep histories written into t
Magma Wyrm Makar will fight much the same as any previous Magma Wyrms you’ve encountered thus far in Elden Ring. Make sure you’re dodging into its attacks —especially those involving its massive sword—and try to side-step or dodge to the sides when the boss begins its lava-spewing cha
Famously known as one of the most difficult bosses in the game, Malenia, Blade of Miquella also has one of the most tragic origin stories across Elden Ring ‘s pantheon of demigod characters. Malenia and Miquella were born twins by their parents Queen Marika and the Elden Lord Radagon. But due to the dark revelation behind Marika and Radagon’s union, the two were born cur
Fans were excited to see the fresh open world, new mechanics, and new storylines that could help keep fans engaged in the world of Elden Ring.

Still beloved today, Assassin’s Creed 2 introduced an economy system to the franchise, notoriety, and even updated many of the stealth features in the series to add more variety to potential play styles. New weapons and the addition of a mini-map made the game feel more playable, less repetitive, and much more developed. It lived up to the hype and m
Given how beloved the Halo franchise is, it would have been easy to disappoint. With better balance and more equipment than its predecessor, Halo 3 made it clear that Bungie was not done with its improvements. Better graphics also helped set it apart, as the game delivered every upgrade — both major and minor — that fans could ask
Elden Ring Maps Ring ‘s bosses are no exception to this, and given these games’ brand of dark fantasy, many of these characters’ backstories are steeped in tragedy. Malenia is undoubtedly among the first to come to mind, but even the more subdued bosses such as the Ancestor Spirits make for emotional encount
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 .

These people were banished from the aboveground when they attempted to kill the Greater Will and the gods who served it, with the Dragonkin being their attempt at mimicking the power of the original dragons.

The release of Elden Ring was heavily anticipated, but the game somehow matched expectations and surpassed them. “I’ll never forget, after years of waiting and excitement, finally getting it downloaded on preorder and it finally going live,” says Reddit user Dubbs09 . “I’m not sure I will ever experience anything like it aga
As a vampire-like Revenant, the player gets to feel powerful throughout the game, but it’s the co-op system that makes it that much easier. Compared to other Soulslike games, the ability to change builds while on the move without any consequences is a massive boon for less expert players as w
This next stretch will begin to test you. You’ll already begin to hear the singing of a Chanting Winged Dame . This landing (the area around/beneath the series of pillars ahead of you when you first climb up the ladder) is swarming with Giant Bats. Take your time with them, and they’ll prove to be no prob
Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, the Carian Royals, the Academy of Raya Lucaria, and the lands of Liurnia at large ultimately became undone by a seemingly insurmountable heartbreak.
