Soulsborne: 10 Joke Weapons That Make Things Way Harder

Those who venture to the treacherous peak of Elden Ring 's Mt. Gelmir will gain access to Volcano Manor, a legacy dungeon in which resides the God-devouring Serpent. A gimmick boss fight that all but requires the use of the Serpent-hunter Great Spear, the first phase is creepy enough, but things become much stranger when a mid-battle cutscene reveals the snake to harbor the form of Ryk


Demon's Souls offers multiple approaches to how players can tackle classes and combat as well, but Elden Ring expectedly deepened this aspect of the game. Given the latter's particular acclaim, it likely won't be long before Elden Ring goes down as one of the best modern fantasy RPGs for many f


Of course, FromSoft's latest fantasy epic Elden Ring will be the most topical recommendation for House of the Dragon fans eager for an immersive and expansive experience. It's already FromSoftware's highest-rated Souls-like game , while simultaneously being one of the developer's most streamlined, accessible, and challenging games to d


Elden Ring _ offers players a ton of variety regarding armaments, and some of these can be extremely difficult to get, as the rarest weapons can have a drop rate as low as 0.5%. The rarest weapons in the game are not necessarily always the best. However, quite a few rare drops are indeed very powerful. Yet, this is not the only reason to seek out rare drops, as many players value the bragging rights that come from spending the time and effort needed to acquire weapons in _Elden Ring with unique appearances. A few rare armaments in the game also possess unique arts or passives, which may synergize uniquely with certain skills or bui

It's not a knock on the older Demon's Souls -- and its remake by extension -- as by normal mainstream standards, all of FromSoftware's Souls-like games are tough in their own ways. However, it becomes apparent coming back from Elden Ring -- or even Bloodborne and Sekiro -- that boss encounters in Demon's Souls are simpler by des


Given the scales of each of these games' respective worlds, the checkpoint systems function differently. They're almost non-existent in Demon's Souls , so players will get sent as far back as the beginning of the level if they're not careful. It's an exciting challenge to an extent, as it emphasizes the tense atmosphere and encourages players to explore the environment to unlock hidden shortc


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


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


It does have some virtues, though, as it swings low to the ground, which can be used to hit smaller enemies like spiders easily. It's also only a one-handed weapon and can change into a scythe. While all these boons are impressive, it still pales in comparison to other trick weapons in the g


When used, the dung pies inflict the Toxic status on the enemy, but also on the player. This makes using them a dangerous double-edged sword. While it's tough, it is possible to beat the game while using the Dung Pies almost exclusively. This is one stinky weapon that cannot be taken seriously in and out of the ga


When it first debuted in 2014, Dark Souls II was initially panned partially because of its many lackluster bosses. While battles against The Last Giant and Lost Sinner may feel fairly formulaic, The Duke's Dear Freja certainly stood out, particularly among the other bosses in the game's first h


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 Weapons 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


The spiritual successor to 2009's Demon's Souls , Dark Souls thrust game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and the rest of FromSoftware into the gaming mainstream. It was the next step in the Souls-like subgenre's evolution, achieving critical acclaim for its detailed level design, subtle yet gripping storytelling, and tensely challenging com
