Elden Ring: Hidden Game Changes You Might ve Missed

Because the range of the kill box didn't cover the full floor of one pit in the Impaler's Catacombs, Elden Ring players could survive the fall. However, players who survived the fall would die when they tried to leave the pit because they would run into the kill box. Developers solved this issue in patch 1.03 by giving the kill box the proper range to cover the full floor of the pit. Now, players don't need to worry about losing their runes in the


Initially believed to be an Easter egg, the texture for the Dark Souls chests was removed from most of the Elden Ring chests that had it. This means the textures were most likely placeholders that were missed before the game's rele


Elden Ring and Metal Gear Solid , at the end of the day, have just about nothing in common. The former is an action-adventure open-world game with RPG progression elements while the latter is a long-running, tactical stealth franchise. Aside from the fact that both entries come from iconic video game auteur directors (Hidetaka Miyazaki and Hideo Kojima), they couldn't be more differ


Group bosses are now easier in Elden Ring due to changes in the behaviors of the group bosses. With patch 1.04, the boss who isn't the primary attacker in a group boss fight will be less aggressive and do more standing back. The other change is that fewer bosses can be considered the primary attacker, so the player will have more breathing room in these fights because they aren't being constantly attacked. Not all of the group bosses received these changes, so the nerf wasn't done across the board. Why the developers didn't include changes to some boss AIs in the patch notes for 1.04 remains unkn


When NieR:Automata developer PlatinumGames released the action RPG Babylon's Fall in March 2022, the expectations were high, because of the standards that Automata had set for the studio and for gamers. Instead, the game received a largely negative reception when it came out, and has had an abysmally low player ba


The Sage's Cave is tucked away to the west of the Wyndham Ruins, under the cliffs, and is a good spot for those looking to test their brains. The cave rewards curiosity and lateral thinking , as is evident by the numerous detours, hidden paths, and illusory wa


Coincidences that get misinterpreted by people who are grasping at straws on symbolisms are often, and that was the case with some G, R, R initials that were being found across the Elden Ring . The names of some creatures and characters were written by the author, but that was about


While players might not be happy about Elden Ring's quiet boss nerfs , this nerf to the Fallingstar Beast is a little different. This encounter wasn't mean to be as difficult as it was at launch, as the Fallingstar Beast in the Selia Crystal Tunnel wasn't meant to behave like the full-grown version. Because of this, the Fallingstar Beast was nerfed in patch 1.03 to the version of the enemy that developers intended it to be, which no longer includes a second phase for the fi


Platinum clearly tried recreating Automata 's gameplay, to a degree, in Babylon's Fall , which is far from unusual in an industry where mechanics are often part of a company's signature. The problem instead lay in structural issues around how the combat interacted with Fall 's world, among other issues with the g


Volcano Manor is full of dark secrets , but this illusory wall is more fun than it is dark. This wall took many more hits to break than other breakable objects in the game. The reason seems to be that the developers didn't intend for it to be breaka


Some of these notes, like the recently discovered Obi-Wan Kenobi reference in Elden Ring , are isolated incidents. However, due to the limitations imposed by the feature and the nature of many of Elden Ring 's challenges and environments, a great deal of these messages are repeated references and ironic inside jokes. The most popular repeated jokes will be recognized by any avid Elden Ring player, but some of them are undeniably more successful when it comes to their comedic po


Whether through navigating the hidden areas of the Volcano Manor or completing enough assassination missions for Tanith, players can eventually gain access to the Elden Ring boss known as Rykard, Lord Of Blasphemy, a Demigod child of Rennala who searched for the power needed to destroy the Erdtree and found it in an immortal, god-devouring serpent. The description for the Great Rune Elden Ring 's Rykard drops when defeated reveals what happened n


Among other literary inspirations that Miyazaki mentioned in his interview with EDGE magazine , there was The Eternal Champion written by Michael Moorcock. The trilogy follows the story of John Daker, a normal man who is reborn throughout multiple universes to fight and restore the balance between law and ch


Many players will be recruited into elden ring walkthrough Ring 's Volcano Manor society after encountering Rya, a hunched over, suspicious-looking woman who will teleport players directly to the red-lit halls of the Volcano Manor estate itself. After two completed assassination quests, Rya strangely becomes a lot more friendly and trustworthy after revealing her true form and identity – a humanoid shawl-wearing serpent named Zorayas. Zorayas proudly expresses the belief that she's the daughter of Tanith, the leader of Volcano Manor, "born by the grace of a glorious king." If the player talks to the gold-masked Tanith, however, the Volcano Manor's head will refer to herself as Zorayas' "adoptive mother" and laments how she "hardly deserves the sweet child." Later on in Zorayas or Rya's complete questline, she tells the player about a strange sight she saw – a slithering serpent figure just like her who wandered into a side room and never came
