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
At the end of the questline, you can choose to help supplant her as the head of the academy, essentially giving her as much power as she wants to continue her research. The most intriguing thing is that at this point, at the height of her potential, you can return here to find her transformed. It's undefined why, but piecing together evidence from the world around, this may be what becomes of sorcerers who are overzealous in their pursuit of knowledge and mastery over sorc
The next room to the south contains a switch at the far end, but don’t be too hasty; there are two Imps in this room . The first is just to your right when you enter, ready to attack. The second one is hanging from the ceiling in the center of the room, likely just out of sight. Be re
Fia is a prominent tarnished who is the center of one of the "side endings" of the game. Her quest involves the side quests of other tarnished you can find at the Roundtable, in particular Sorcerer Rogier and D, Hunter of the Dead. A big component of the game's setting is death, very mainly how no one is doing
Southwest from the Chapels rooftop in Caria Manor is a path that can be reached after a particular trinity-themed boss. Apt as the corpse guarded by a large creature here will give players 3 Stonesword Keys. It is not far from the Mani Caria Manor Gate Site of Grace when viewed on a
Considering just how fleshed out Ranni's quest line is compared to others, one could question whether or not it truly would count as a side quest. However, with all the content available, this turns out to be an easy contender for the best side quest in the g
The latest update for Elden Ring , Patch 1.07, has drawn a fairly positive reaction from its player-base for several reasons. First, this patch has added two types of damage scaling to the game weapons and spells - one for enemies in the game's open world, the other for player versus player combat. Second, this patch greatly improves the balance of the game by buffing weaker weapons, skills, and spells rather than weakening the strongest of them. Thanks to this design choice, players of Elden Ring who gravitate towards high-tier spells won't have to rework their character builds, while players interested in the narratively flavorful schools of magic discussed below won't be penalized as m
You can battle this boss here, or if you’re feeling impatient, ride around the right side of the Erdtree , past the broken pots and stones. You’ll find the entrance to the Minor Erdtree Catacombs along the right cliff face, recessed slightly. Open the door, head inside, and rest at the site of gr
Golden Order Incantations, in the lore of Elden Ring Rune Farming Ring , are a school of magic based on scientifically analyzing the metaphysical laws that make the divine miracles of the Erdtree and Golden Order possible. As their names and associations would imply, these Incantations frequently manifest as bright, golden light taking various forms. Miquella, Elden Ring 's eternally youthful and villainous Demigod , studied Golden Order Fundamentalism as a potential way to cure his sister Malenia's Scarlet Rot affliction, while the mute and mummified Goldmask uses this scholarly school of magic to identify the flaws in the original Golden Order and craft a new Elden Ring that brings justice to
These side quests are the ones that were most likely to have left an impression on the player for any number of reasons. As is the nature of the game, side quests are always full of narrative intrigue and because of this, it would be remiss not to discuss the spoilery minutia these quests have to offer. If you have not completed them yourself, you are implored to do so as there are twists and turns you would like to experience for yours

The Onyx Lord's Greatsword, dropped by an Onyx Lord boss in the Sealed Tunnel dungeons of Limgrave, is a slashing weapon empowered by Intelligence and imbued with purple-hued gravitational magic that does extra damage to alien entities like the Fallingstar Beast or Astel, Naturalborn of the Void. The signature skill of the Onyx Lord's Greatsword, Onyx Lord's Repulsion, generates a damaging shockwave of purple energy that blasts foes away from the Tarnished player character. In earlier versions, this special attack granted no extra poise for Elden Ring players during casting, making it easy for enemies to interrupt and stun players trying to use this move. The Patch 1.07 updates dramatically increased the repulse effect and poise bonus of the Onyx Lord's Repulsion move, making the Onyx Lord's Greatsword much more useful for its intended purpose of crowd control during com
