Elden Ring s Badlands DLC Leaks Rumors Explained

2025-09-24T13:27:28Z

VanSeaman22788:

There have been many assumptions about what an Elden Ring _ DLC will entail, but among these theories, a supposed future DLC called _Barbarians of the Badlands has spread over the internet as rumors of leaks have proliferated. As exciting as this may sound for fans, this title leak is the result of a ransomware attack on Bandai Namco Entertainment, an attack that has resulted in the reveal of several game titles to be released in 2023 even while many have doubts about the leak's authenticity. Fans of Elden Ring who have beaten the game and replayed it have been waiting with bated breath for a DLC. Based on past FromSoftware games, such as Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, a DLC or two are expected to be released. Since Bloodborne and The Old Hunters __ DLC were released the same year, and the tragic story of Dark Souls 3 's main game and its first DLC, Ashes of Ariandel , were also released the same year, with The Ringed City DLC following a year later, it seems likely that Elden Ring DLC may not be far off. Many [https://www.eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring story guide] Ring fans have hopes about what the future DLC will contain, such as more lore information that answers burning questions, and the unveiling of new and exciting locations. If the Barbarians of the Badlands __ leak is real, then this may be the first of several DLCs that reveal more about the world of Elden Ring . Related: Elden Ring's Most Annoying Bosses However, there is also a chance that this leak is a hoax fabricated by the group responsible for the ransomware attack. Based on the other game titles released, some individuals believe this leak is a hoax and has no chance of being true. That said, this also happened with Capcom several years ago, ultimately resulting in the Dragons Dogma 2 sequel being revealed ahead of schedule. There's A High Chance The Elden Ring DLC Leak Is A Hoax Early in July 2022, Bandai Namco reported being hacked by the ransomware group ALPHV, also known as BlackCat. It is a common occurrence for large gaming companies to be the target of hacker groups. EA was targeted by a group and had source code stolen, and CD Projekt Red had data believed to relate to games, contractors, and employees stolen during a similar hack. Around the time that Bandai Namco announced the unauthorized access servers, an image of several big-name titles planned for release in 2023 began circulating around the internet. Broken up into four groups through the year 2023, some of the games included are Tekken 8, Armored Core, the Elden Ring DLC leak Barbarians of the Badlands , __ and Dragonball Fighter Z Super. However, some people have pointed out issues with the logos on the games supposedly set to release next year. For example, the Tekken 8 logo has been revealed to be a fan edit, and the Dragonball Fighter Z Super logo __ is a combination of Dragon Ball Fighter Z and Dragon Ball Super . When it comes to Barbarians of the Badlands , some fans are saying that it does not seem like a name for a FromSoftware DLC. Related: Is The Erdtree Or The Haligtree [https://www.eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring bosses] Ring's True Parasite? Further support for the leak being a hoax lies in the fact that a ransomware attack will naturally demand some form of payment from its target. When Cyberpunk 2077 studio CD Projekt Red was hacked , they received a ransom note demanding payment with the threat of releasing information. It makes little sense for ALPHV to hack into Bandai Namco’s servers, steal sensitive data, and then give out vital information they are holding hostage for free. Elden Ring DLC Could Have A Badlands Connection If the leak is true and Barbarians of the Badlands is the name of the future Elden Ring DLC, then there is a possibility player will learn more about several major NPC characters and game lore. For players who have played the game and paid some attention to the lore, they may be familiar with barbarians and the Badlands. Barbarians are one of the starting classes in the game, and the class of one of the most honorable NPCs, Elden Ring 's Nepheli Loux . As exciting as learning more about where Nepheli came from and whom she was before coming to the Lands Between, there is another NPC that the unconfirmed DLC may shed light on. Before he was known as Godfrey, First Elden Lord, he was a warrior named Hoarah Loux. Despite the name change, Godfrey is one of the most important individuals in Elden Ring lore. He was Queen Marika’s first Elden Lord, and together the two had three children: Godwyn the Golden, and the Omen twins Mohg and Morgott. Related: Elden Ring: What The Elden Beast Actually Is Godfrey continued making history in the Lands Between when he went to war with the Giants because their fire threatened the safety of the Erdtree. However, after defeating the Storm Lord alone, Godfrey lost his guidance of grace and warrior spirit. Godfrey became Elden Ring 's first Tarnished, exiled by Marika along with all his warriors. Godfrey leads his warriors on a long march and eventually takes back the name Hoarah Loux, becoming chieftain of the Badland warriors until the events of the game bring him back to mend the Golden Order. As interesting as this information may be, some large questions have not been answered. One unanswered question is the relationship between Nepheli and Godfrey. Since Godfrey becomes chief of the warriors, the name Loux may be a clan name that Nepheli took to show which clan she came from. Another potential connection is she may be Godfrey’s mysterious Elden Ring warrior daughter born before or after his marriage to Queen Marika. Nepheli could also be distantly related to him, like a granddaughter or great-granddaughter. The relationship between Nepheli and Godfrey at this moment isn't entirely known, [https://www.eldenringfans.com/ www.Eldenringfans.com] but perhaps the unconfirmed Barbarians of the Badlands DLC could further explain their relationship. It also could reveal more about this mysterious Badland location that lies beyond the Lands Between. There is a probable chance that the Barbarians of the Badlands DLC and the other leaked games titles are a hoax, but anything is still possible until more is known. According to the leaked image, the Badlands DLC is set to be released during Q3 of 2023 but assuming this is a larger DLC, then that would fit the general timeline of FromSoftware DLC release dates. Until the company releases information about the DLC or more authentic leaks are pushed out, _Elden Ring _ fans may continue to brush this off as a hoax.

Elden Ring: 10 Funniest Mods

2025-09-24T11:59:37Z

VanSeaman22788:

Elden Ring , several months out from its release, is still one of 2022's biggest games. The world of the Tarnished brought in so many new and veteran gamers alike. Part of this was due to the world, and the influence of George R.R. Martin was clear in the setting's bleak nature. However, not all players want a setting to be bleak all the time. There are some light and strange moments, like with the Merchant Kalé. However, for some gamers and modders, this isn't enough and so they've created some truly funny and bizarre mods that absolutely break the game. Shrek Prelate For whatever reason, the early aughts animated film Shrek has become a big meme, and putting the green ogre in strange new situations is a running joke across the internet these days. Elden Ring wasn't immune to this phenomenon and this mod puts the ogre over the enemy Fire Prelate. RELATED: 10 Similarities Between Elden Ring and Skyrim The mod is quite funny. Fire Prelate is a quite squat character and doesn't quite perfectly fit Shrek's model. However, seeing Shrek in the game is silly in itself and makes his inexplicable fire powers even funnier. Thomas The Tree Sentinel Thomas the Tank Engine is another piece of nostalgic media that has become a big meme. This was definitely started by Skyrim 's infamous Thomas over dragon mod. This mod affects the Tree Sentinel, an optional boss early in the game. Usually, this fearsome knight has a mighty horse he rides on, but this mod makes it Thomas instead. It's not as extensive as other Thomas mods, but it's still funny. Top Hat Crabs This is another mod based on Skyrim 's funniest . Crabs are an important part of both games and while they're mainly just basic enemies, they are common enough to be memorable. The Large Crabs Monocle and Top Hat mod give them the importance they deserve. With this mod, every large crab enemy is given a cartoonishly large monocle and hat. This amusing mod, in particular, only puts the look on certain crabs, making it a surprise when the fancy crustacean does appear. Let Me Solo Her Summon One of Elden Ring 's most popular characters wasn't even in the game itself. "Let Me Solo Her," controlled by Twitter user Klein Tsuboi was a person who could appear as a co-op partner in multiplayer. They had a very amusing design, being nearly naked except for a pot on their head. They became notorious for beating the game's toughest boss, Melenia. RELATED: The 10 Best Elden Ring Memes On Reddit The player's legend would be spread online and become a meme. It grew to be so big that YouTuber "Garden Of Eyes" turned Let Me Solo Her into a summon . It feels awesome to have this powerful character besides the player, especially with their dress. Unfortunately, it is currently only available through the YouTuber's Patreon. Army Of Mimics The army of mimics mod was popularized through YouTube and specifically from a video called " Elden Ring Zerg Rush " which saw the player multiply and absolutely destroy bosses. What made it even funnier was that they were completely naked. Of course, the mod has a lot more utility than just that and changes the properties of Elden Ring 's mimic spirit summon . Usually, when this item is used, it only summons one duplicate of the player. This modification allows for up to 25 duplicates, which results in a ton of chaos that is fun to behold. Actual Pumpkin Head There are a lot of bizarre characters in Elden Ring 's gigantic library of bosses . The Field boss Mad Pumpkin Head is one of many. He's not particularly memorable aside from his name. It conjures up a spooky, Halloween-style visual. Unfortunately, players will be disappointed when they see the real deal. His head definitely looks like a large gourd, but there's no Halloween-theming. But the entertaining Pumpkin Head Model Replacement mod fixes that. It replaces his head with a Jack O'Lantern that makes him look like the Pumpkin King himself . Giant Lobster There are tons of armor sets in Elden Ring and some of them can make the Tarnished look like a completely different character. Others make the player wonder if they're even still human. However, none of them are that hilarious until mods get involved. RELATED: 10 Best Armor Sets In Elden Ring For instance, this mod turns the player into a giant lobster by replacing the Godrick armor set with a giant crayfish. It's great to watch this massive creature flop around the world of Elden Ring and its black beady eyes add to the comedy. Plunging Ring The sword and shield are essential for any dark fantasy game and Elden Ring has tons of great shields and swords available. But one thing that Elden Ring doesn't have is indoor plumbing. As such, it's fun to watch the player character run around with a plunger and toilet seat. The Plunger and Toilet Cover mod turns the player into the toxic avenger. It's hilarious how much these modern items clash with the fantasy aesthetic of the world. However, there's also something powerful about someone who wields them. It's especially fun when a mere plunger can vanquish the Elden Beast itself. Tekken In Elden Ring? King from Tekken is one of the most iconic fighting game characters . His counterpart, Armor King, isn't as famous but is still beloved. They're both funny characters, being wrestlers with cat masks that only speak in growling sounds and this mod allows players to bring that hilarity to Elden Ring . There are some animal-themed armors in the game. However, none are as over the top as Armor King. The cat headpiece along is great to watch exploring the Lands Between. It's also a fellow Bandai-Namco property, so it's not hard to imagine this becoming a real DLC one day. Minecraft Sword There are tons of mods that add famous swords from other video games. These are cool, but not many are funny. However, there is one exception, and watching the tarnished hold [https://www.eldenringfans.com/ click the next web site] diamond sword from Minecraft is wild. Minecraft is also a game about exploring a desolate wasteland. However, the Minecraft Diamond Sword mod really shows how different the art styles are and the blocky blue weapon looks so out of place that one can't help but laugh. It's still powerful to wield though, making it one of the funniest mods in the game. NEXT: 10 Funniest Things Redditors Have Done In Elden Ring

Elden Ring s Biggest Nerfs Since Launch

2025-09-24T11:07:42Z

VanSeaman22788:

Despite not being seen as a competition-focused game, **Elden Ring ** has seen some major changes to its meta from nerfs. Whether players focus on the Tarnished's journey in PvE or prefer to take the path of the Bloody Fingers and fight others in PvP, they have to watch out for what Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have planned up their sleeves. The updates they have brought to the game have already dramatically influenced how it is played. Both luckily and unluckily for players, Elden Ring 's patches have largely served to buff rather than nerf. This protects the health of the game by allowing new strategies to arise while avoiding taking away anything from the Elden Ring that players may have enjoyed. However, in practice, this has resulted to the rise of the Rivers of Blood katana meta in Elden Ring , which has left other approaches to the game in the dust. Related: Elden Ring Exploits That Never Should Have Gotten Patched Elden Ring was not always this way, though. Prior to Elden Ring 's 1.03 update - which truly changed everything for the game - the meta was dominated by a few gimmicks, strategies, and weapons that were arguably more dominant than blood builds will ever be. But whether it be through direct nerfs or fixes, these options in Elden Ring have been rendered either obsolete or unviable. Royal Knight’s Resolve Was Elden Ring’s Biggest Gimmick The most substantial nerf Bandai Namco levied on Elden Ring was the alteration to the effect of the Ash of War Royal Knight’s Resolve. The way Royal Knight’s Resolve used to function in [https://www.eldenringfans.com Elden Ring armor guide] Ring was that it would allow the Tarnished to deal 80% more damage with the next hit they threw with any of their weapons. This meant that a player could have a disposable weapon with the Ash of War, use it, and then shift to any other armament (be it a sword, staff, or finger seal) and deal a tremendous amount of damage. This made Royal Knight’s Resolve essential to any PvP or speed running PvE build, as when used in conjunction with a spell like Comet Azure, every boss became a one-hit kill just like YouTuber Nipthemad shows in the video above. However, Elden Ring ’s 1.03 patch changed everything for Royal Knight’s Resolve. Post-patch, the Ash of War can only enhance the weapon it is on or any equipped shields, leaving its effect largely negligible. What makes this nerf even more effective is that a lot of Elden Ring ’s best weapons come with their own Ash of War that cannot be removed or magically enhanced, meaning Royal Knight’s Resolve cannot be used with most meta weapons. Hoarfrost Stomp Was Once A God Slayer In Elden Ring Hoarfrost Stomp was Elden Ring ’s second most effective gimmick and the best tool for speed runners. The Ash of War, which enables players to stomp on the ground and send a wave of ice damage in front of them, could be used by low-level players to eliminate bosses with ease. This is because Hoarfrost Stomp dealt significant damage, cost little FP, had a huge area of effect, was very fast, and staggered opponents. This last facet of the Ash of War was perhaps its best quality, as the stagger allowed speed runners to keep bosses from hitting them while they could just spam Hoarfrost Stomp. YouTuber Schlechtelaunetyp shows just how strong this is even at the beginning of the game. Related: Elden Ring Story Choices You'll Regret Late Elden Ring 's 1.03 patch thought bosses should have more of a chance, though, and drastically reduced the effectiveness of Hoarfrost Stomp. The patch notes share that the move's casting time and FP cost were increase while its area of effect was decreased. This rendered its staggering effect useless, as bosses and players alike could close in on a Hoarfrost Stomp user and attack in between the usages of the no-longer-spammable Ash of War. Moonveil Could Cut Through Poise Like Butter In Elden Ring The Moonveil was once considered the most broken weapon in Elden Ring , and it wasn’t even close. The katana comes with the Ash of War "Transient Moonlight," which essentially is the "Unsheathe" Ash of War with an extended area of effect because of a moon beam that shoots out of the katana after unsheathing. So much about the Moonveil made it incredibly broken at launch: It scales with Dexterity and Intelligence, playing into the meta; it's available soon after choosing a class and starting of Elden Ring , being just northeast of the Third Church of Marika; and most importantly, it deals tons of damage to poise. In PvP, poise is incredibly broken, and in PvE, the poise of bosses can feel infinite. But players like the YouTuber Varsona Vyzelta show how Moonveil could cut through poise like butter; a few swings of Transient Moonlight could send even Godfrey, the First Elden Lord, to his knees. However, the Moonveil was shadow nerfed in Elden Ring ’s 1.03 update. The health damage, poise damage, and range of Transient Moonlight were all decreased, with the poise damage being significantly nerfed. This change forced players into situation where if they wanted to break someone’s poise, they would have to hit with both the katana and moonbeam with Transient Moonlight. This practically made the sword a slightly better katana with Unsheathe - a far less attractive option. And because patch 1.03 was the same patch that fixed Arcane scaling in Elden Ring and thus made Rivers of Blood overpowered, the Moonveil largely fell out of favor despite not being the worst katana. Sword Of Night & Flame Could One-Hit Kill Bosses In Elden Ring The Sword of Night and Flame once stood next to the Moonveil as the best weapon in the game. It’s dual ability in the form of the Night-and-Flame Stance allowed the Tarnished to use either a powerful Faith-based or Intelligence-based spell. While both moves were strong, the Intelligence Night spell was especially noteworthy in PvE because of its resemblance to Comet Azure. Combined with Royal Knight’s Resolve, the Sword of Night and Flame allowed players to easily kill bosses from a distance as shown by Schlechtelaunetyp above, and if an opponent closed in at all, they could then use the Flame ability to wipe out any remaining health. Related: Elden Ring: New Game Plus Or New Character However, Elden Ring ’s 1.03 patch drastically diminished the quality of the Sword of Night and Flame. Without "Royal Knight’s Resolve" available, both Night and Flame abilities dealt 80% less damage than they used to. On top of this, both abilities received a nerf to their baseline damage, and the Night ability received a shadow nerf to its range. This latter impact was probably the most detrimental to the sword, as the Night ability became too risky to use in fights since it could no longer be used at a great distance. This list of Elden Ring 's most substantial nerfs goes to show just how dramatic the 1.03 update was for the game. Not only did the old strategies that were popularized upon launch fade away, but Arcane builds rose to dominate the meta. Hopefully FromSoftware and Bandai Namco can someday reverse this with future nerfs to revitalize _Elden Ring _ 's gameplay.

Elden Ring: 10 Memes That Perfectly Sum Up The Game

2022 saw the release of Elden Ring , a game built for the kind of gamers with immense willpower, patience, and character. Known for being incredibly challenging, with minimal direction, the game also offered a vast open-world fantasy experience. From one beautiful landscape to another, players fought tooth and nail to reach their objectives, fending off magnificent dragons and wicked fell omens throughout the journey. The game quickly became an internet phenomenon with many streamers and content creators taking a stab at the difficult bosses. And as with any popular game, [https://Eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring guide] Ring comes with a ton of great memes. The NPC Squad One of the seemingly most helpful options in Elden Ring is the ability to summon NPCs to the player's aid. Generally, these NPCs can take a small amount of heat off of the player, allowing them some time to deal damage for free. But often times the team effort is futile, and the player ends up leading the NPCs to a quick grave.

Or, it would be epic if not for them already having been wiped by the boss nine times before. Collecting Runes There's almost nothing more frustrating than dying in a game and losing hours of progress. Elden Ring players have spent tons of time killing respawning mobs to grind their runes, sometimes only to fall off a cliff or end up in a bad situation to lose them all. Getting them back is the challenge. RELATED: 10 Similarities Between Elden Ring & Skyrim Sometimes they're in a difficult place to gather them from, and starting a boss fight traps the player in the encounter. Accidentally stumbling into one leaves the player with only two options if they want their runes back, to either defeat the boss or scream "Let me out" at the door like Eric Andre. The Message System The player-left messages around Elden Ring quickly became one of the most meme-filled aspects of the game, as gamers were leaving all kinds of fruitful info around the game. It provided a way to create a community feeling in the single-player experience, but the messages have been some of the funniest things people have done in Elden Ring . As with any internet community, there are trolls, and Elden Ring players quickly realized they could block players from certain aspects of the game by leaving messages to prevent clicking on them. The meme clearly shows how the rest of the community felt about those pranksters. Turtle. Dog. Remembering to take breaks from Elden Ring , or any game for that matter, is very important. But the joke in this user's meme is a long-running bit among the Dark Souls franchise community where any four-legged creature is called a dog. Players in Elden Ring quickly noticed the turtles in the game, and surrounded them with messages with the word "Dog." The meme spread and took a life of its own, with countless jokes being made calling animals in the game dogs. Fall Damage Fall damage quickly became a source of memes in Elden Ring , as the amount taken seemed highly inconsistent. This meme graph was a player's best way of summarizing the damage they were taking from falling. RELATED: What RPG Game Should You Play Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

Reality Elden Ring has an outstanding visual appearance, and many of the players who had already conquered the Dark Souls franchise likely made the Elden Ring gameplay look easy on streams and videos. But when the average player downloaded the game, it was a bit of a different story. Many of these players ended up spending hours on early game bosses, or even prepping to kill them, and likely never made serious progress through the game, often resembling the girl in the second half of the meme. A Time Suck The months of February and March likely saw a global drought in individual productivity, as millions of gamers saw minutes turn to hours and then to days playing the game, forsaking all sorts of responsibilities. While one would hope that these players still fulfilled their daily tasks and jobs on time, it's very likely that Elden Ring took a priority for some, depicted comedically in the meme. The amount of time players spent on Elden Ring likely led to players finding the multitude of hidden details that the game has to offer. Limgrave vs Caelid Some players spent over thirty hours of gameplay just exploring Limgrave and collecting runes while familiarizing themselves with the game and its mechanics. Some found it to be challenging. Those who managed to work their way through to the later zones knew better. Caelid became a source of a number of memes, as its Mordor-like style certified it as a zone no one would want to walk into. If Limgrave is the game's version of The Sound of Music or a field of cute lambs, then the idea of a far more frightening zone is terrifying. NEXT: 10 Best Video Games To Play This Month

New Elden Ring Updates You Completely Missed

VanSeaman22788:

FromSoftware has recently released a new patch for Elden Ring _ , their latest RPG, but while some gameplay updates in the patch are extremely obvious, others are less so. The nerfs of extremely powerful weapon skills such as Bloodhound Step and Corpse Piler, for instance, were long awaited by players, but other updates in _Elden Ring 's 1.06 patch are far more subtle and hard to notice if players aren't actively looking for them. These include small buffs to certain weapon move-sets, the elimination of sequence-breaking glitches used by speed-runners, and even a new option for progressing a certain questline. Ever since the game's release back in late February 2022, Elden Ring 's convention-breaking developers at FromSoftware have been responding to player feedback and compiling regular updates to fix perceived gameplay issues and improve the accessibility of the RPG as a whole. One major example of this is an update applied to the game menu that appears when Elden Ring player characters rest at a Sight of Lost Grace checkpoint; if players possess the materials needs to upgrade the number of charges or the restorative powers of their healing/magical energy flasks, a golden dot will appear next to the "Flasks" menu option. Updates like these aren't quite as exciting as the buffing/nerfing of fantasy weapons/magic, but do massively improve Elden Ring 's gameplay and story by ensuring players won't lose track of when/if they can upgrade their primary restorative resources. Related: [https://www.Eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring collectibles] Ring's Badlands DLC Leaks & Rumors, Explained For the most part, members of the Elden Ring gaming community have vocally praised FromSoftware's decision to reduce the potency of the Corpse Piler skill (a long-ranged blood splash ability iconic to the Rivers Of Blood katana) and the Bloodhound Step skill (a smoke-veiled dodge ability that carries players a long distance). In previous versions of Elden Ring , these two skills were seen by many players as overpowered, particularly in PvP. As of patch 10.6, the damage and Hemorrhage status build-up of Corpse Piler has been greatly reduced at long range, forcing Elden Ring Rivers Of Blood katana users to close with their PvP opponents to deal high amounts of damage. By the same token, the Bloodhound Step skill has been adjusted so that repeated uses of it become less effective over time, forcing Elden Ring players to use it more tactically. However, these weapon Skill revisions are just the tip of the iceburg that is patch 10.6; many other subtler changes have been made to the gameplay and interface of Elden Ring , [https://www.Eldenringfans.com/ www.Eldenringfans.Com] bringing the game closer to FromSofware's original intent for better or worse. Elden Ring's Multiplayer Has New Co-op Summoning Options Previous versions of Elden Ring had already revolutionized co-op gameplay mechanics first introduced in FromSoftware's earlier Demon's Souls and Dark Souls RPGs . Easily accessed items such as the Furlcalling Finger Remedy and the Tarnished's Furled Finger let players quickly lay down and access summon signs right from the start of an Elden Ring playthrough, while the Small Golden Effigy item lets players send their summon signs to Stakes of Marika located outside nearby boss arenas. The 1.06 patch for Elden Ring expanded the utility of the Small Golden Effigy, adding a new menu where players can choose between sending their summon signs to Stakes in their current region or to distant regions entirely; this new quality-of-life feature will make it easier for players of Elden Ring to seamlessly summon co-op partners outside of peak playtimes while letting other players avoid spoilers by being summoned into places they haven't visited yet. Elden Ring's Great Weapon Movesets Have Been Buffed Ever since Demon's Souls , FromSoftware developers of Soulslike RPGs have been trying to balance out the perks and downsides of wielding light and fast weapons vs. heavy but hard-hitting weapons. To this end, the recent Elden Ring 1.06 patch has adjusted the move-sets of weapons in the Greatsword, Curved Greatsword, and Great Hammer categories in order to make them more viable for players in PvP and PvE. The speed of heavy attacks and certain light attacks for these cool Elden Ring weapons has been increased and the recovery time for attack movements has been shortened, making it generally easier for players to strike a foe, then roll out of the way before the enemy can strike back. The speed of Guard Counters has been increased as well for heavy weapons, making it easier for Elden Ring players to use this proto-parry ability against boss enemies and fellow players. Elden Ring's Light Rolls Have Been Buffed In Soulslike RPGs ranging from Demon's Souls to Dark Souls 3 , the total weight of a player character's equipment affects how quickly they can roll, and Elden Ring's armor and poise rules are no different. Heavy armor and weapons coupled with low Stamina will cause players to roll slowly and awkwardly, while lighter armor and weapons gives players access to swifter "medium" or "light" rolls with longer periods of invincibility. Related: Elden Ring's Dumbest Armor Combinations The recent 1.06 update has increased the distance [https://www.Eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring online guide] Ring players can roll if lightly equipped or possessed of a high Endurance attribute score. Besides making "naked speedruns" more viable, the "light" encumbrance status also increases the travel distance of players using "Bloodhound Step" or "Quickstep," partially canceling out the nerf FromSoftware applied to these weapon skills. Elden Ring's Bloody Finger Questline No Longer Mandates PvP Invasions Elden Ring Patch NPC Invasion Magnus The Beast Claw To progress through Elden Ring 's White-Faced Varré and his questline (Varré being the NPC representative of the blood-obsessed in-game faction called The Bloody Fingers), Elden Ring players previously needed to accept the Bloody Finger PvP item from him, then invade players in other worlds with it at least three times. The 1.06 update, however, added a new NPC character players can invade in offline mode (his invasion sign can be found near the Writheblood Ruins in Altus Plateau). After defeating Magnus the Beast Claw, a Tarnished who wields a massive Great Stars mace and uses Bestial Incantations, Varré's quest dialogue will progress as if the player had performed their requisite set of PvP duels/invasions in Elden Ring . Besides letting players with no interest in PvP complete a dark yet interesting questline, this new change also makes it easier for speed-runners to gain access to the Mohgwyn Palace region, a popular location for farming "Rune" experience points.

FromSoftware typically reuses assets across its games for practical purposes, such as the same weapons and animations appearing in multiple games, and this will likely be the case for FromSoftware's next game after Elden Ring . These similarities are not necessarily connections or references, though. Instead, they are merely efficient use of assets for game design. However, FromSoftware occasionally places items and assets in its games which fuel theories about connections between the worlds and themes of the Soulslike games.

The Sun Realm Shield has intriguing and mysterious ties to an important city in Dark Souls lore, but the drop rate for this shield is incredibly low, so it’s easy for most players to miss. An armor piece called Raptor’s Black Feathers resembles a notable Bloodborne character whose quest line parallels that of a summonable Elden Ring NPC . Scavenger hunt-style puzzles across The Lands Between involve paintings, which also bring to mind one of the most intriguing lore aspects of the Dark Souls franchise. Elden Ring’s Sun Realm Shield Is A Dark Souls Easter Egg The description for the Sun Realm Shield reads: " Shield of honor depicting a city crowned by the sun. It has seen better days. Much like the wear upon the shield, the Seat of the Sun is long faded away. " This is possibly a nod to Anor Londo, the capital city of Lordran from the first Dark Souls . In the lore, Anor Londo was the seat of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, for ages after he and the other Lords discovered the Lord Souls during the advent of fire. Anor Londo's name is likely an adoption of a language created by J.R.R. Tolkien in Lord of the Rings , and can roughly be translated as " Land of the Sun ." If Elden Ring and Dark Souls were connected, the Sun Realm Shield could be an artifact from when Anor Londo basked in the sunlight. Though this is likely just an obscure Easter egg for fans, it does present the interesting idea that the events of the Dark Souls series could have happened long ago in Elden Ring ’s timeline. Elden Ring’s Raptor’s Black Feathers Armor References Bloodborne The Raptor’s Black Feathers armor in Elden Ring nods to a beloved Bloodborne character, Eileen the Crow. It features a cape crafted with bird feathers, intended to imitate the Elden Ring 's Deathbirds, and is worn by an assassin called Ravenmount. Eileen’s armor has much in common with this set, being adorned with a cape made from crow feathers, similarly invoking worship of birds as figures of death. Related: Why Elden Ring DLC Bosses Will Be Harder Than Malenia Elden Ring’s ties to Bloodborne 's Eileen the Crow run deeper than aesthetic, however. Eileen is known as a Hunter of Hunters, eliminating those who have gone mad and blood drunk from Beast Hunting. Her story has fascinating parallels to a character in Elden Ring named Yura, the Bloody Finger Hunter. He hunts those who have been enthralled by Mohg, The Lord of Blood, and his blood magic. The Bloody Fingers invade the worlds of other Tarnished to defeat them. During his quest line, the Tarnished helps Yura defeat several members of the Bloody Fingers, including the assassin Ravenmount. One other small but interesting detail regarding these characters highlights another parallel between the worlds of [https://Www.Eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring weapons] Ring and Bloodborne . Eileen’s armor mentions that the first Hunter of Hunters came from a foreign land. Coincidently, Yura originates from the Land of Reeds, making him a foreigner to The Lands Between, like Elden Ring 's Numen . Such details, along with the heavy focus on cosmic, extraterrestrial beings in both games, fuels speculation that the games could take place on different planets in the same universe. Elden Ring’s Paintings Bring To Mind Dark Souls' Painted Worlds Scattered across The Lands Between are seven paintings that are tied to scavenger hunt quests. These puzzles require the player to find the locations from which each painting was made. When the correct places are found, the player will discover Wandering Artist Spirits. Upon interaction with the spirits, they drop a unique item and disappear. Fans of the Dark Souls series will almost certainly think of the Painted Worlds whenever they come across interact-able paintings in FromSoftware’s Soulsborne games . Related: I Hope Elden Ring's DLC Leak Is Fake Painted Worlds appear in the first Dark Souls - the Painted World of Ariamis - and during Dark Souls 3 ’s expansion, Ashes of Ariandel - the Painted World of Ariandel. In both cases, these worlds are accessed when the player interacts with a painting. What follows is a short cutscene of the player character being pulled inside the painting when their hand touches the canvas. The player is then transported to a world entirely separate from the rest of the game. The logic of the Painted Worlds isn’t fully explained, so much of how they work is merely speculation. One theory is used to suggest how Elden Ring connects to Dark Souls and FromSoftware's other games. At the end of Ashes of Ariandel , the player finds someone called the Painter. She sits in front of a blank canvas awaiting the return of Gael, who will bring the paint she’ll use. After completing The Ringed City , the player acquires this paint, which is actually an item called Blood of the Dark Soul, the description of which says it is " used as pigment [...] to depict a painted world ." When the player gives this to the Painter, she says, " I will assuredly finish the painting. Of a cold, dark, and very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home. " The player never sees the completed painting, but it is theorized that it could be the world of [https://Www.Eldenringfans.com/ Elden Ring cheats] Ring or Bloodborne . FromSoftware has not confirmed that their games take place in the same continuity, but they’ve done a remarkable job of keeping the themes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne in **Elden Ring ** alive. The mastermind behind most of the Soulslike games, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has notably been averse to sequels, which may explain why there has not yet been a Bloodborne 2 . Despite this, the studio seems to deliberately include Easter eggs and references that fuel speculation of a shared universe.
