A key part of Elden Ring 's backstory is the fate of the Tarnished, the lineage of humans the player's character belongs to. Near the height of the Golden Order - the divinely-inspired monarchy which rules over the Lands Between's denizens - Elden Ring 's Queen Marika the Eternal banished a number of her subjects from her realm, stripping away the golden Grace that had once connected these individuals to the power and vitality of the Erdtree. These Tarnished people departed the Lands Between, embarking on a long voyage to other lands, carving out new, lesser lives for themselves, until the guidance of Grace returned and called them to the Lands Between once more. Players of Elden Ring never directly see the Tarnished traveling from their places of exile, but certain details about the regions outside the Lands Between can be gleaned from item descriptions and the features of certain N

The world of elden ring bosses Ring was created with help from George R.R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire . This partnership has produced a world with a long and complex history with the potential for more lore to come in Elden Ring DLC, which has been leaked . The game takes place in the Lands Between, however, most of the events that shape the region and its people occurred before the player's arrival. While the notable actions of the Godskins happen far in the past, they continue to work toward their goals despite losing the bulk of their po

Elden Ring creates a web that connects elements in the game to weave a complex story. The Godskins are closely related to the Gloam-Eyed Queen, Destined Death, Maliketh, and Marika. True to FromSoftware's style, lore can be difficult to parse since it requires players to read item descriptions, such as the Godskin Apostle Armor which says, " The apostles, once said to serve Destined Death, are wielders of the god-slaying black flame. But after their defeat by Maliketh, the Black Blade , the source of their power was sealed away ." Finding information has an extra layer of difficulty due to Elden Ring's vast, open game world . However, the effort to find information reveals that the Godskins are more than merely a group that wears skin as cloth

One of the most emblematic rare weapons in Elden Ring is the Magma Blade , a unique curved sword that deals with physical and fire damage. This blade scales primarily with Strength and Faith. In addition, it has a special weapon art, Magma Shower, that spews magma around the user, enabling players to manipulate the battlefield by creating pockets of lava. Although many players prefer to use this weapon with a full Strength build, leveling up Faith in Elden Ring can make it extremely deadly, as it dramatically increases its fire damage, including that of the Magma Shower weapon

Underrated weapons in Elden Ring can be very powerful, especially with the different affinity types and Ashes of War. This gives many players, regardless of their build, the ability to use the same weapons. However, there are underrated weapons with specific skills and bonuses that will benefit only one or two types of bui

It deals the least base damage in the game, breaks in ten hits, and has no scaling. It also has all the range a player would expect of a wooden spoon. It does have some virtues, like its low stamina cost to use, but in order to use this properly, though, the player will have to level their stats incredibly high and upgrade the ladle, giving it a hard bar to clear to make it useful in this Soulsborne ga

These broken weapons are absolute jokes, with appalling stats. While the Straight Sword can be used to make more powerful weapons, it's basically trash on its own. This has made challenge runs with only the starting equipment one of the most popular in the series. It's a joke the players play on themselves, but it's still great at giving them the challenge they cr

The Dung Eater is a terrifying Elden Ring NPC . He can first be encountered in the Roundtable Hold, and then later in the Subterranean Shunning-Ground. If players complete their quest, the Dung Eater will reward them with the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. This rune can be used to unlock one of the game’s five endi

The Magma Blade has a base drop rate of 1% and can be farmed from the Man Serpent enemies wielding this weapon in the Volcano Manor. However, the Magma Blade is a unique weapon and cannot be enchanted with magic or consumables and will require Somber Smithing stones to be upgra

Amygdalan Arm is a weapon with a lot of weight to it. It takes forever to swing it in any meaningful way. This trick weapon can be found in Bloodborne 's The Old Hunters DLC, and it can only be found after a gauntlet of tough enemies, making it a liability to

To get Hoslow's Petal Whip, players need to progress the Volcano Manor quest line to the last assassination target, Juno Hoslow. Hoslow's invasion sign is in Mountaintops of the Giants, east of Shack of the Lofty. Defeating Hoslow in Elden Ring awards his armor set and the Petal W
