Miquella was cursed to be perpetually young and frail, while Malenia was afflicted with the infamous Scarlet Rot. Her brother spent his life researching for a cure to her Rot, resolving to turn away the Golden Order and start his own, more accepting tree of life when he discovered the former wouldn't help his sister. From then, Malenia dedicated her life to Miquella's cause with the Haligt

This is likely to be your first encounter with the Magma Wyrm boss. If so, it can be something of a wall for new players. It’s got some extra damage absorption to Slashing Damage, Fire Damage absorption , and strong resistances to Frostbite and Bleed. Strike and Pierce Damage are pretty effective against this boss, same as the miners themselves, so it might be worth upgrading a mace or hammer of some kind if you’re struggl

The game is presented as a 2D sidescroller and platforming in the game is relatively straightforward. Timing dodges and parries against bosses can bring some challenges, but there are tons of ways for the player to upgrade their character that make each fight far more doa

Elden Ring has many different builds to choose from, allowing you to pick weapons based on any play style you'd want. While many builds give you the chance to stay away from your enemies, some builds are much more dar

There's not much that's been uncovered about these emaciated spectral creatures, but they and their followers suggest that they were nature-focused people driven from the aboveground and forced to reside below. These spirits give off an air of tired majesty, as they've been forced to defend their land with what little strength they had left. The Ancestor Spirits are certainly two of the bosses that paint the Tarnished protagonist in a cruel li

Though Mortal Shell wears its Dark Souls inspirations proudly, being a melee combat-focused action RPG in a rich and dark fantasy world, it seems directly aimed at players who struggled with the difficulty of the Souls games. The first few hours are no less brutal but the Shell and weapon upgrade systems allow the player to quickly become strong enough to match

Continue down this passage until you encounter several Land Octopuses and one Giant Land Octopus . This is a pretty cramped room to be dealing with the flailing limbs of the large one, so you might be tempted to retreat into the passage. The Giant Land Octopus can’t pursue you far, but it means you’ll only be able to attack head-on, which can draw the fight out. Try to keep to the larger space of the cavern, so you have a better chance of getting around the en

Elden Ring Collectibles Ring is full of strange, mystical locations, but none quite so awe-inspiring as the first time you step into Siofra River Well. The dazzling "night" sky, so deep underground, is mesmerizing. The area is full of the deadly Ancestral Follower Spirits , along with some other beasts here and th

The eighth and final brazier is located just west of the seventh, but you’ll need to head north and loop back south in order to reach it, as it’s up on a higher plateau . Be careful in this area; several Ancestral Follower Spirit archers are lurking about, and the area is patrolled by fairly aggressive rats. Once you reach the brazier, you’ll find it guarded by two Ancient Follower Spirits, four smaller rats, and one giant rat. It’s probably best to pull the rats and deal with them first, then backstab the two Ancestral Follower Spir

From the fourth brazier, head north, past a couple of stone torches lighting the path. From there, turn north/northwest. It is also directly northeast of the third brazier, near the right side of the crumbling bridge ruins. You will spot a couple of floating lightning orbs nearby. These lightning orbs send out a volley of devastating lightning attacks, but only for a couple of seconds before they (the orbs) fade away. They can spell a quick death for those unwary, but when you initiate lighting the torch, you will become invulnerable for a short time, allowing you to avoid most of their atta

It's unique and therefore has individual ash of war - Unblockable Blade. As its name suggests, this skill can not be blocked and will do full damage if it hits its target. The only thing that can hold this weapon back is if your enemy has Holy defense, which can make this weapon obsolete in bat

The fourth brazier can be dangerous to retrieve. It is located east/southeast of the third brazier, up a wooded path, and on the edge of a climb . The path to it is littered with Ancestral Follower Spirits, and more notably, the archer variants. You’ll spot a group of three walking up the path toward the brazier, but the archers are hidden in bushes and behind trees in the surrounding area, and they have pinpoint accuracy. Your best strategy here is to either sprint and panic roll up the hill to light the brazier before you die, or you’ll need to carefully pick your path, eliminating the Ancestral Follower Spirit archers along the way. This stretch is extremely difficult if you find yourself under-leveled. If you are, it might be worth coming back later when you’re more powerful in order to reduce frustrat
