The Grave Scythe is a reaping weapon and one of the most underrated in Elden Ring . The standard build has high attack power - the highest among Reaper weapons in the game - and Multiplayer Action scales in Strength and Dexterity. While it is a bit slow, it has a wide range and can stagger some enemies and bosses while inflicting bleed damage. The Grave Scythe also raises vitality by 35, which increases the player's resistance to instant de
When the player encounters Aldrich, the being engages in battle by manifesting powers it absorbed from Gwyndolin. Now nothing more than an amorphous black mass with an all-consuming hunger for powerful beings, Aldrich definitely stands as one of Dark Souls III's most horrific entit
Rykard fed himself to the Elder Serpent that lived inside the volcanic Mt. Gelmir. This allowed them to merge into one being, with Rykard’s face embedded in the giant snake’s body . This act set him on a downward spiral. He began calling on his best warriors so that he could devour them and also join in merging with the serpent. Many of his soldiers were troubled by Rykard’s growing dishonor and sought to use the Serpent-Hunter weapon to eliminate their former master, but all failed. The Tarnished must step in and defeat Rykard before he can devour the very g
The swan song of the King's Field franchise, King's Field IV —known as King's Field: The Ancient City in North America—takes place in Heladin, a kingdom cursed by an artifact known as The Idol of Sorrow. Players embark on a quest to rescue the kingdom by returning the idol to its original resting place, though that's, of course, much easier said than d
The 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive title Bloodborne was, at the time, FromSoftware's most imaginative and uncompromising effort, and it marked at least a slight departure from the Dark Souls series. Abandoning the overt fantasy elements of its predecessors, Bloodborne instead takes place in the Victorian-inspired city of Yharnam and draws almost directly from Lovecraftian l
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
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
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
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
The Watchdog's Greatsword is a unique-looking Colossal Greatsword that resembles a lump of stone, and although it is not the best in its class, it is still a compelling option for fans of Strength builds. Although this sword doesn't possess the lowest drop rate, which is 8%, its rarity comes from the fact that only a handful of enemies have a chance to drop it, making the process of farming it quite difficult. On top of their scarcity, these enemies are also very tough and deal a lot of damage, and it is advisable that players use lighting, or strike damage weapons, as they are the most effective at staggering t
This humiliation and lack of power from the Golden Lineage led Godrick to pursue grafting to make up for his lack of strength. He began abducting Tarnished warriors and attaching their body parts to himself and his soldiers. The player Tarnished arrives to put Godrick in his place, and the Lands Between is much better off for
