The Torchpole is one of Elden Ring 's most straightforwardly named items, being quite literally a torch on the end of a pole. The weapon has good range, inflicts small amounts of fire damage, and lights up dark areas, but it is a lackluster weapon overall, despite the interesting concept. When fully upgraded, the Torchpole does adequate damage, but there are stronger, more versatile spears in the game. Infusing or buffing the weapon is impossible, and players cannot change the weapon’s sk

Duo bosses are not rare in Elden Ring ; they are just one of the many challenges players will need to overcome in the Lands Between. But based on difficulty and boss design, not all the duo bosses are on the same level. Some bosses are easy, but their fighting style or design makes them stand out, while other duo bosses are challenging but have a common design for the g

Elden Ring 's Valiant Gargoyle duo is found in the Siofra Aqueduct and consists of the Valiant Gargoyle and Valiant Gargoyle (Twinblade). From a design perspective, these two are like other gargoyles found in Elden Ring . However, during this fight, the gargoyles have a poison breath attack that can be damaging to players not prepa

There are 237 boss encounters in Elden Ring , so players would be hard-pressed to find every one. However, several high-level bosses with impressive lore take several steps to discover. For example, the Dragonlord Placidusax, a giant dragon boss, can be reached from the Beside the Great Bridge site of grace inside Crumbling Farum Azula, where players must jump down a path of floating rocks and obscured ledges before being prompted to lie down and taken to the fight. Similarly, Lichdragon Fortissax, another dragon boss, can only be found after completing Fia’s questline and talking to her three times, whereupon the player can enter Fia's Elden Ring deathbed dream and defeat the dragon to unlock one of the game's six endi

Elden Ring 's Spirit Ash summons made for an interesting addition to the soulsborne formula; previously, those hoping for help during a tough encounter or area would have to summon another player for online co-op - something that was sometimes more easily said than done. In Elden Ring , however, players can easily call upon their favorite Spirit Ashes, some of whom are incredibly power

Some illusory walls lead to more valuable items than others. For dagger-wielding players, an illusory wall in the Black Knife Catacombs leads to a boss fight with a Black Knife Assassin. Once defeated, he drops the Assassin’s Cerulean Dagger talisman, which restores 15 FP with each critical attack. He also drops the Black Knifeprint, a key item in both Sorcerer Rogier and Fia’s questlines. Another important hidden wall in Liurnia of the Lakes is located on the ground next to Ranni’s Rise - inside this hidden basement lies Seluvis’ puppet resembling Sorceress Sellen. This cellar must be visited as part of Sorceress Sellen’s Elden Ring questline and ruins imprisonment , which grants the player the Comet Azur spell upon complet

Overall, while plenty of the game's weapons can be useful in the right circumstances and more weapons could be added in the future when **Elden Ring ** DLC actually releases , these particular items are, at least for the time being, just not going to be worth it for most players. With any luck, FromSoftware will be able to take another pass at them in the future, giving players more and better options to expand their bui

FromSoftware's latest game, the massive open-world RPG Elden Ring , pushed the envelope by completely overhauling the developer's beloved soulslike genre. The Slg game dlc maintains the qualities that made players fall in love with Dark Souls like its challenging difficulty, cryptic lore and in-depth role-play systems. However, instead of progressing through linear levels Elden Ring sees players explore an enormous world called the Lands Between. This makes for an entirely original experience as players discover a ridiculous number of hidden items, lore and bosses across every corner of the expansive map. Elden Ring has been wildly successful since launch, and the ambitious title can teach FromSoftware a lot if the studio is truly creating a new Armored Core g

With multiple new unannounced FromSoftware games apparently in development, it seems likely that a new entry in the Armored Core series is on the way. While many fans assume that this game would adopt the popular soulslike formula, the title could also stick closer to the more linear level-based games of the franchise's past. In either case this Armored Core project could still learn from the greatest achievements of Elden Ring . With its gameplay variety, clean user interface and breadth of optional content, Elden Ring _ would be a great example for FromSoftware to look at while crafting a future Armored Core _ adventu

By the time the players reach Elden Ring's Godskin Duo in the Crumbling Farum Azula, they have most likely encountered the Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble at various times. However, unlike previous times when players face one of the bosses, they must now fight them simultaneously. The good news is these bosses have no added move sets and fight like the previous encounters. The bad news is the Godskin Duo share a health bar and are only defeated when the health bar is gone. If the player defeats one or both before their health bar is depleted, they will keep coming back. Also, unlike the other duo bosses, the Godskin Duo is not optional and must be defeated for players to progress in the g
