After reaching Anor Londo, city of the gods, Dark Souls players will encounter the deadly double boss fight of Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough. In contrast to Ornstein, a sword-spear wielding knight with lightning powers and leonine armor, Executioner Smough is a frustrating Dark Souls boss that wields a brutally large hammer and wears armor designed to mimic the contours of a portly

The trials and tribulations you go through to help this NPC are rewarded by a very intriguing story that gives you a lot of insight, or at least implications regarding the scarlet rot, the race of centipedes that worship it, as well as Malenia , one of the games various demigods that have shaped much of the world's l

The Helphen's Steeple Greatsword, dropped by a Tibia Mariner enemy in Elden Ring 's Mountaintops of the Giants area , is a dark, barbed long-sword designed to be wielded by spell-sword character builds in Elden Ring . The Ruinous Ghostflame skill of this weapon envelopes the blade in a shroud of ghostly flame that deals extra damage and inflicts the Frostbite status effect. The 1.07 patch increased the damage, duration, and poise attrition granted by this skill while also shortening its recovery time, making the sinister-looking Helphen's Steeple a much more viable weapon for Elden Ring players who want to cosplay cursed sword-wielding fictional characters like Elric of Melniboné, wielder of Stormbringer, or Arthas Menethil from Warcraft, wielder of Frostmou

Ranni's motive is all about striking back against The Greater Will, the game's cosmic entity behind the forces of the Erdtree and the Fingers. She wishes to get rid of the divine influence that guides everyone's fate, leaving her, the tarnished, and anyone else to command their destiny. It was a very ambitious goal she had been after for some time, all she needed to find was the perfect accomplice, the next Elden L

All the quests feel as though a lot of time has been put into them like one where the player has to explore a haunted house and the player gets sent into another realm. The game is fantastical in its nature and always fun to return

Anor Londo in Dark Souls is a symbolic masterpiece in that the giant castle in the map's center makes gives off a sense of holy fear. It almost looks like the face of an angry god is looking down on the player that's damned to traverse its location which is further pushed by including the Ornstein and Smough fight which is one of the hardest in the Dark Souls ser

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

Later patches reduced damage for these two special attacks, causing the Sword of Night and Flame to become the niche weapon most frequently used by Faith/Intelligence hybrid spell-casting character builds. Patch 1.07 increased the attack power of the Night-and-Flame stance once more while also adding damage detection to the sword part of the weapon and letting players aim the blasts of Glintstone Sorcery (pioneered by Raya Lucaria's founders) and Giantsflame both up and d

The Dragonscale Blade, dropped by the Dragonkin Soldier in the Lake of Rot, was the popular in Elden Ring 's Network Test as the only available Katana-type weapon, but proved to be less popular in the main game. The 1.07 patch improved the damage and duration of this weapon's Ice Lightning buffing skill while shortening its recovery time, theoretically making the Dragonscale Blade more useful in Elden Ring PvP combat and capable of standing on even ground with its cousin weapon, the Dragon Halb

The long, drooping sleeves and hems of the Blue Cloth Set's chest piece bears a close resemblance to the traditional garb of Mongols and other historic societies of the Eurasian Steppes - long-hemmed coats designed to cover a rider's legs on horseback and shield them from the cold winds of the plains. In all likelihood, the Blue Cloth Outfit is the outfit of a literal nomad - someone who was raised in a clan or culture that tended grass-eating livestock like horse or sheep, migrating across steppes and tundras to find fresh grazing grounds for their herds (and a good choice for historic horse archer Elden Ring cosplays ). In a society like this, stillness and stagnation would indeed lead to de

In the Leyndell Royal Capital area, Elden Ring collectibles 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
