The Dark Souls , Bloodborne (and more) __ fan art kickstarter was fully funded in just one hour. The Irish small press, Tune & Fairweather, partnered with the kickstarter to create the physical deluxe-edition, large-format art book, Soul Arts . Tune & Fairweather previously published the acclaimed Dark Souls book You Died , a companion book to the Dark Souls video game. The final product of Soul Arts contains 256 pages of full-color illustrations, multiplayer action a foreword, and detailed descriptions of the game concepts and art. Within the Soul Arts book, the passion, adoration, and innovation of FromSoftware fans is on full disp

When creating character builds during a campaign, players of Elden Ring who don't want to rely on Glintstone Sorceries or Incantations still have access to a wide variety of ranged weapons drawn from both history and fantasy. There are short recurved bows designed to be used on horseback, long-bows and Great Bows made for ranged sniping, crossbows that can be fired one-handed, and even two primitive firearms – the archaic-looking Jar Cannon and the One-Eyed Shield with its flame-spiting mouth mor

The Celebrant Skull can be found on a corpse in Altus Plateau, but all other variants must be farmed from the Celebrant enemies that wield them at the Windmill Village. They can be infused with weapon arts and enchanted with magic and consumables and will require Smithing Stones to be upgraded in Elden Ri

Tune and Fairweather is also set to release another FromSoftware __ project: a massive Dark Souls project compiling lore in two books , called Abyssal Archive . The love and care for FromSoftware games such as Demon’s Souls and Elden Ring -which wasn’t even released yet when the art competition for its category took place-is evident in every page and artwork. Beyond simply paying homage, artists also envisioned their own concepts that would be perfect for potential sequels or DLC to certain games. In his foreword, VaatiVidya says of the art and the concepts, " the entries to follow aren’t ranked in any way - they’re simply a testament to the artists who created them, and fascinating love letters to the creations of FromSoftwar

Radagon gifted this Great Rune to Rennala when he left their marriage. Since Radagon and Marika are the same being and a partner doesn’t seem to be required to use the Great Rune, this would account for Ranni’s Empyrean status. When Radagon married Queen Marika, she raised his children’s status to demigodhood. This explains why Rykard and Radahn, a misunderstood hero of Elden Ring , grew to be so power

The rich, detailed world-building of Elden Ring stems from two creative sources. The mythology, prehistory, and semi-divine champions of Elden Ring were designed by George R.R. Martin, author of the dark fantasy novel series A Song of Ice And Fire . Hidetaka Miyazaki and other convention-beaking Elden Ring developers then took Martin's base setting and used it to create the beautifully ruined Lands Between setting players encounter at the start of a playthrough: a once-prosperous kingdom torn apart by a civil war fought between the Demigod children of Queen Marika, haunted by strange monsters and alien beings, with secretive conspiracies searching for the power and methods needed to create a new

It may have started with an initially buggy release, but Assassin's Creed Unity was able to sell millions of units. Set during the French Revolution, assassin Arno Dorian must uncover the person responsible for this historical conflict with the help of other fellow members of the or

The main world of Elden Ring is full of weapons, Ashes of War, and damage types that scale with either Intelligence, Faith, or Arcane, giving players who create characters focused around a single magical attribute melee attack options not reliant on Strength or Dexterity. Currently, however, there is only one weapon in Elden Ring 's game world that scales with both Intelligence and Faith (the Sword of Night and Flame) and no weapons/Ashes of War with Intelligence/Arcane or Faith/Arcane scaling. If future DLC introduces new magical or weird weapons to Elden Ring with the attribute scales mentioned above, players who create "Int/Faith," "Int/Arcane," or "Faith/Arcane" mage characters will gain access to many more interesting combat approac

The Celebrant weapons consist of the Skull, a Great Hammer, the Sickle, a Dagger, the Cleaver, an Ax, and the Rib-Rake, a Spear. What binds these weapons together in one category is their meager drop rate of 0.5% and their unique passive that rewards players with runes upon landing an attack. This passive varies slightly between each weapon, but upgrading them does not increase the number of runes that players get per hit, which may incentivize some players to keep them at their lowest level to farm more runes per enemy in Elden Ring . Out of the four weapons, the Celebrant's Skull rewards the most runes per hit, giving players 20 instead of 10. However, the Skull is also the slowest weapon, and players that wish to use these to farm runes may benefit more from the Sickle, as it is the fastest, and its passive does not have a cooldown, unlike the Rib-R
