The name "The Lands Between" likely refers to the setting being between life and death as when you die, you simply return to the erdtree. The shattering of the Elden Ring represents the first death of a deity. Essentially, the purpose of Fia, The Prince of Death, and the Cursemark of Death is to allow death to happen normally. If such a thing was allowed to happen, there would likely be much fewer lingering souls and undead creatures shambling about, cursing their existe

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

Rykard's true fall from grace, outside his growing disdain for the ideals imposed on him by The Greater Will, started when he chose Mt. Gelmir as the location to begin his new era in the Lands Between. Blessed with the gift of sorcery from his mother, Rennala, Rykard discovered ancient hexes and powerful dark magic within the depths of the mountain. Thus, decided to construct his entire kingdom from the base of Mt. Gel

Diablo 3 takes very different religious concepts than those that most are used to in video games and creates a game around them that focuses predominantly on the 12th to 13th century as is further explained in the books. The setting in Diablo 3 will have players going through areas that look like towns where peasants predominantly l

Most Sorcerer character builds in Elden Ring will have memorized Terra Magica, a sigil-conjuring spell that boosts damage from any spells or magic weapons used within its stationary area of effect. In fact, most players with one-shot Sorcery character builds start by casting Terra Magica, drinking a Flask of Wonderous Physick with Crystal Tears that boost magic damage and briefly eliminate FP consumption, then cast a spell like Comet Azur or Meteorite of Astel to deal continuous damage until Elden Ring 's Graced Tarnished player character runs out of FP. Fewer players make use of the niche Lucidity spell, a one-of-its kind Glintstone Sorcery that cleanses characters of the Sleep and Madness status effects. Finally, the humble Scholar's Shield spell enchants a player character's shield with a magical aura, buffing its ability to block damage to a character's health and po

Midway through the battle against him, he offers a display of his abilities, launching himself into the stratosphere and returning as a destructive comet. Of course, while Radahn seems sturdy enough to survive that, the same couldn't be said of his poor mo

The serpent demigod hibernates beneath the fire and lava, whispering out to those who'd listen, promising them eternal life. Lord Rykard was entranced with the notion of becoming everlasting and all-powerful not only to merely avoid death but to pave the way for a new world order, one without the weakness of The Greater W

Elden Ring Strategy Ring takes the medieval fantasy setting and goes all out on it with a setting that feels lived in, in every single part. Some could say that areas are over-saturated with enemies, but this is not necessarily the case as it creates much more ecologically vibrant settings for the players to expl

The humble NPC Thops, a self-described "Bluntstone" sorcerer players can encounter near Liurnia of the Lakes, may actually be the Glintstone Sorcerer closest in spirit to the non-militant astrologers or yore. He can sell players the Starlight spell, which conjures up a long-lasting ball of blue light, and at the end of his questline creates the Thop's Barrier spell, a temporary shield capable of deflecting attacks from Elden Ring 's final b

The school Night Sorceries, associated with the abandoned town of Selia, contains a niche defensive spell called Eternal Darkness (no relation to the Nintendo's Eternal Darkness , a GameCube survival horror game), which summons a black hole that sucks in magic projectiles. Two other non-damaging Night Sorceries, Unseen Blade and Unseen Form, respectively let Tarnished player characters turn their weapons and bodies invisi

Warhakws—cruel avian creatures with knives tied to their feet commonly found in Stormveil Castle—are equally irritating, and this meme imagines a phoned-in DLC boss that combines these awful enemies. No official word has been given regarding future Elden Ring content, but, should it come, most fans would certainly hope that there aren't any boss encounters as heinous as t

You’ll eventually ride beneath a massive root growth, beyond which you’ll encounter a field boss, Putrid Avatar . This a variation on the Erdtree Avatars you’ll often encounter at the foot of Minor Erdtrees, but this one has been corrupted by Scarlet
