The action RPGs published by FromSoftware have always given players a huge array of character customization options; **Elden Ring ** in particular is chock-full of aesthetically pleasing armor sets, flashy spells both sacred and profane, and an armory's worth of weaponry inspired by historic medieval armaments and the weapons of fantasy fiction. There are, however, a few pre-modern weapons that have been left out of Elden Ring 's repertoire, weapons that developers at FromSoftware could easily add to the game with future

The Twinblade weapons of Elden Ring were first introduced in Dark Souls 2 (along with Dark Souls 2 's fan-favorite "Power-Stancing" game mechanic). Most of the Twinblades in Elden Ring 's base game aren't modeled after any real-life polearms in particularly, instead seeming to draw inspiration from the double-bladed energy sabers seen in sci-fi franchises like Star Wars . The twirling move-set of Twinblades, however, does have a basis in the staff-fighting techniques traditional to many martial arts systems across the world. The introduction of blade-less DLC staff weapons such as quarterstaves, bo staves, or fighting canes could give Elden Ring players a new blunt-force weapon class while also making cosplay builds of fantasy characters such as the Monkey King Sun Wukong from Black Myth: Wukong much more via

However, with that comes new mechanics for the developer in how moment-to-moment traversal works. As simple as it sounds, having a dedicated jump button in Elden Ring greatly expands the element of exploration and verticality in an open world, as well as having a mount capable of double jumping while venturing through The Lands Betw

Fans of class-based fantasy tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons _ can easily create a Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Soulslike Atmosphere or Cleric inspired character build in _Elden Ring 's main game. There are just three in-game tools, however, for Elden Ring players who want to make characters inspired by the D &D _ Bard class or the minstrels of myth and history. The obscure _Elden Ring Harp Bow painting reward weapon has multiple strings and makes musical notes when arrows are launched with it. The Wraith-Calling Bell chimes melodiously with every ghostly projectile it conjures. Finally, the Envoy's Horn/Envoy's Long Horn/Envoy's Greathorn weapons launch holy bubbles with every warbling note the Tarnished PC bl

The Grave Scythe can also be equipped with overpowered Ash of Wars in Elden Ring . A good Ash of War combined with the weapon's natural anti-block ability makes this an effective weapon for players. Finding the Grave Scythe can be tricky since it is dropped by skeleton mages wielding the scythe. The graveyard west of the Lake-Facing Cliffs Site of Grace is the best place to st

These bosses committed some of the worst atrocities in **Elden Ring ** . They differ from other bosses in that their actions are far from reasonable and garner no sympathy. The player need not feel guilty for defeating them, as the Lands Between is a much safer and peaceful place with them out of the pict

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

Music and musicians are a strangely beautiful part of Elden Ring 's gameplay ambiance; the nomadic merchants scattered throughout the Lands Between play ditties on their fiddles to lure customers in, the pages of Leyndell Royal Capital weave haunting melodies with their wooden flutes, and certain winged bat creatures in the open world will sing mournful Latin dirges about the glories they lost. **Elden Ring ** DLC boss weapons modeled after string, brass, or woodwind instruments of these NPCs would not only let players show off their character's "talents" in front of summoned players, but could also logically justify the creation of new weapon Skills designed to strengthen allies or distract enemies in true Bard fash

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
