When looked at in broad strokes, Elden Ring ’s story can be summed up as a big family feud with Queen Marika in the center. According to Elden Ring 's lore, Marika is the catalyst for most of the events before and during __ the game. She has had multiple relationships that produced many children. This is only made more complicated when her fluid identity is considered. Still, her offspring shaped the Lands Between in significant ways, not all of which were good. Elden Ring's family tree is detailed below, from the Golden Lineage to the birth of the Empyre

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

FromSoftware's Elden Ring has been released to widespread critical acclaim while its world can simultaneously be a treacherous place for the uninitiated. The Lands Between is a breathtakingly dangerous world, ripe with enemies and bosses that make mechanics like item management and healing methods important factors to have become second nat

With the Elden Beast dead and the Elden Ring either in the possession of the Tarnished or destroyed, Destined Death has returned to the Lands Between, and that can lead to a brighter future for some of its denizens. The Godskins have the chance to return to keeping the natural order in balance by delivering death to gods and demigods, and perhaps they can bring back the Gloam-Eyed Queen as their leader if she's still alive. FromSoftware has the talent of crafting games with so much depth that players are finding new details well past their first playthrough, so the story evolves as more information is found. Because of this, players have plenty to explore while waiting for new **Elden Ring ** cont

The Raptor Talons are one of few claw weapons in Elden Ring . From an aesthetic point of view, claws are cool; they give a Wolverine vibe to the player's character. The Raptor Talons are one of the more underrated weapons in the game because they scale very high in Dexterity and can be infused with powerful Elden Ring Ashes of War to allow a wide variety of builds. However, the best part about the Raptor Talons is jumping attacks deal increased dam

Unless she appears in content from DLC or an Elden Ring sequel , whether the Gloam-Eyed Queen is alive or not will remain unknown along with her true identity. However, there's potential for the Godskins to reclaim the power they once had depending upon which ending is chosen by players, or by FromSoftware in the event of future story content. In endings that restore the Elden Ring rune farming Ring, then Destined Death is also restored, since it is only one Rune that joins many in the composition of the titular artifact. Even in endings without the ring being restored, it's likely that Destined Death still returns to the Lands Between to rid the realm of the madness that accompanies immortality, such as with Ranni's Age of Stars Elden Ring ending , where she creates a new order that is far away from the people over which it will r

Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-Knowing, is a mysterious character in Elden Ring . Sir Gideon is one of the first people the Tarnished protagonist meets at the Roundtable Hold, of which Gideon is also the leader. He is never particularly kind to the player, rudely brushing them off in their first interaction. 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

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

For players that like to hone in on magic-focused builds in Elden Ring , the combination of the Cerulean Hidden Tear and Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear is an excellent pairing in combat. Many of the Flask of Wondrous Physick mixes involve a buff that lasts a few minutes, but the Cerulean Hidden Tear specifically lasts just 15 seco
