Sir Gideon is responsible for the ruthless massacre at the Village of the Albinaurics, which he orchestrated to locate a piece of the medallion that grants access to the Haligtree region. Upon returning to Elden Ring’s Roundtable Hold with the medallion, the player is attacked by Ensha, Gideon’s lapdog. Gideon then lies to the player about trying to have them kil


The 2015 PlayStation 4 exclusive title Bloodborne was, at the time, FromSoftware's most imaginative and uncompromising effort, Eldeninfo.Xyz 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


While Elden Ring still retains that vintage brand of FromSoftware difficulty, part of its new layer of accessibility lies in its more streamlined role-playing mechanics. Choosing a class is more so a general template, as players can get incredibly creative with the kinds of hybrid builds they can create from t


After Lord Rykard claimed his Elden Ring shard , he vowed to overthrow the Golden Order and oppose the Greater Will. This act awarded him the title of Lord of Blasphemy, but many still chose to join his cause. One of the Shattering’s most horrific battles was fought just outside his stronghold of Volcano Manor, and, like many battles in the war, no clear victor emerged. As a result, Rykard sought to augment his power in a despicable


This streamlined version of the game should feel comfortable at home for House of the Dragon fans __ in terms of tone and atmosphere. Like many Souls-like games originally made by FromSoftware, the worldbuilding is filled with dark medieval influences and deep lore that fantasy buffs will enjoy combing thro


Though many newer fans understandably recognize CD Projekt Red's games for The Witcher 3 mostly, The Witcher 2 still holds up well for an action RPG from the Xbox 360 era of games. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings follows Geralt of Rivia's quests through the vast dark fantasy land of The Continent, opening the scene with the titular monster hunter imprisoned under suspicion of trying to murder King Foltest of Teme


Several bosses in **Elden Ring ** make little to no effort to hide their evil nature and deserve their eventual fate at the hands of the Tarnished. FromSoftware often designs their boss characters to be morally ambiguous or tragically sympathetic, and Elden Ring is no exception. Plenty of bosses don’t seem that villainous, and an Elden Ring player may feel bad for killing them. However, Elden Ring certainly does not lack downright evil charact


Both games are still worthwhile experiences in 2022, especially with Bluepoint's modernized remake of Demon's Souls . But from the world design to character progression, there are notable differences between the two that newcomers especially should know going

Queen Marika the Eternal, founder and destroyer of the Golden Order, shattered the Elden Ring using a "s tone hammer made in the lands of the Numen, outside the Lands Between. " __ The armor set of the Black Knife Assassins, cutthroats who murdered Godwyn the Golden and catalyzed the Shattering, describes the assassins as " all women, and rumored to be Numen who had close ties with Marika herself. " Aside from hinting at Marika's active role in the murder of her own son, these weapon/armor descriptions imply that Marika herself was one of the Numen, and first came to the Lands Between from the country (or world) where the Numen dwelled. There are no clues in the story or endings of **Elden Ring ** __ about what the Lands of the Numen look like or what culture the Numen possess. If Queen Marika and her Black Knife cohorts are typical of their people, though, the Numen seem to be very ambitious and willing to catastrophically meddle in the affairs of both humans and g


Radagon gifted this Great Rune to Rennala when he left their marriage. Since Radagon and Marika are the same being and a partner doesn’t seem to be required to use the Great Rune, this would account for Ranni’s Empyrean status. When Radagon married Queen Marika, she raised his children’s status to demigodhood. This explains why Rykard and Radahn, a misunderstood hero of Elden Ring , grew to be so power
