Throughout the entirety of Soul Arts , there is no lack of vivid imagery, fierce dedication, and amazing storytelling for the major FromSoftware __ releases. Every contribution serves as a reminder of how important the games of FromSoftware __ are for players. FromSoftware __ confirmed multiple new projects , with one in final stages already, meaning that there will be more worlds, creatures, and storylines to become enamored with. Waiting for news of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring was often daunting, as FromSoftware is notoriously tight-lipped during development. Many fans are currently hoping that one of these games could be a sequel for Elden Ring , but just as many are hoping that FromSoftware will revisit their groundbreaking worlds of Bloodborne and Sekiro first. Reading through the beautiful and terrifying art and lore of Soul Arts emphasizes how unbearable it is to not yet, if ever, have the opportunity to explore new aspects of these worlds. **Soul Arts ** is the perfect companion piece to these FromSoftware games, prompting nostalgia for the first playthroughs of games, the agonizing waits for more, the creativity of the fan base, and still, the yearning for more and more, as these concept artworks are part of the most intriguing games never made (y

Inevitably, certain mythical and historical weapons won't be included in any future version of Elden Ring , due to limited development times and issues implementing them in Elden Ring 's current combat system. There are, however, a few weapon archetypes that could easily fit into Elden Ring 's existing catalog of weapon types, along with weaknesses in certain character builds that DLC weapons could am

Elden Ring has several NPCs that can only be summoned when certain steps are taken. Players going through their first few playthroughs of Elden Ring may miss these important steps and not have the chance to summon a certain NPC. Other NPCs can only be summoned when specific choices are made that will drastically alter the game’s storyl

When Marika took Radagon as her consort and Elden Lord, they produced two children: the twins Malenia and Miquella, who also attained status as Empyreans. The former received her father's red hair, while the latter seems to have inherited the golden blonde hair of his mother. Similar to Morgott and Mohg, these twins were cursed upon birth but with afflictions far worse than being Omen. Malenia was cursed by the Scarlet Rot, which slowly eroded her body limb by l

Technically, the Dung Pie isn't classified as a weapon, but as a projectile. Colloquially, though, it's definitely a weapon, and it is one of the most laughable items in the series. Dung Pies appear in all three of the original series as items that can be thrown to poison enemies, but they're not all that power

Elden Ring has tons of great weapons . It also has some truly silly-looking weapons, Soulslike Atmosphere like the Envoy's Horn line. The Horn, alongside its compatriots Envoy's Long Horn and Envoy's Greathorn, is listed as a hammer-type weapon, but its actual utility is as a bubble blo

The open world of **Elden Ring ** is large - larger than the worlds of every other FromSoftware RPG to date. As players steer their Tarnished characters across the continent known as the Lands Between, they can visit beautiful forests, mist-veiled lakes, golden plateaus, ice-swept mountaintops, underground cities, and hell-scapes of fungal rot. The Lands Between, however, is just one continent upon a larger planet. This begs the question; what exactly are the Lands Between... betw

The opening cinematic of Elden Ring further identifies Godfrey/Hoarah Loux as " Chieftain of the Badlands ," while the item descriptions for the Champion's Set armor pieces expound on how " the brave warriors of the badlands shun excess adornment " __ in emulation of their chieftain. In-game, the character of Godfrey never discusses his life in the Badlands (which hopefully won't be Elden Ring's DLC setting ), but the NPC Nepheli Loux , a distant relation of Godfrey and axe-wielding warrior, shares a lot about her life in dialogue with the player. In the Village of the Albinaurics, Nepheli recounts a grim slaughter she witnessed as a child, describing it as " The oppression of the weak. Murder and pillage unchecked. A waking nightmare, made by men. " __ Throughout her quest line, she refers to the " wind " as a divine force of nature and the " storm " as a force of cleansing justice. These words and others suggest that the Badlands are a harsh, desolate place, wind-swept like Stormveil and full of marauders who use their strength to take from the w

Ten years later, Dark Souls is still important as one of the most groundbreaking and influential video games in history. Soul Arts featured some of the best concept artworks focused on the unseen lands mentioned, but never visited within the lore and gameplay of Dark Souls . Artist Brent Lecluyse’s two conceptual artworks of the land of Carim, a land praying for the end of the Undead Curse, as undeath is treated quite harshly in the city. Throughout the gameplay of Dark Souls , one can encounter quite a few characters of Carim, yet never visit nor learn much more about the land for themselves. Brent Lecluyse’s imaginative rendering of what Carim could have been within Dark Souls is a powerful reminder of all the lore and secrets still kept within the three Dark Souls ga
