Hypothesized by some to have once been the Furtive Pygmy, the progenitor of humanity in the Dark Souls universe, Manus' grave was unearthed by the residents of Oolacile, triggering the spread of the Abyss throughout Lordran. While not even Artorias could defeat such a powerful entity, the Chosen Undead eventually shows up to save the

_Elden Ring _ has many characters players can complete quests for and summon for assistance in a boss fight or two. However, there are some characters that players may not know they can summon for help, but should definitely try to. Some of these characters may only be encountered through their summon sign, while others have long questli

Ten years later, Dark Souls is still important as one of the most groundbreaking and influential video games in history. Soul Arts featured some of the best concept artworks focused on the unseen lands mentioned, but never visited within the lore and gameplay of Dark Souls . Artist Brent Lecluyse’s two conceptual artworks of the land of Carim, a land praying for the end of the Undead Curse, as undeath is treated quite harshly in the city. Throughout the Roguelike Co-Op Gameplay of Dark Souls , one can encounter quite a few characters of Carim, yet never visit nor learn much more about the land for themselves. Brent Lecluyse’s imaginative rendering of what Carim could have been within Dark Souls is a powerful reminder of all the lore and secrets still kept within the three Dark Souls ga

The main world of Elden Ring is full of weapons, Ashes of War, and damage types that scale with either Intelligence, Faith, or Arcane, giving players who create characters focused around a single magical attribute melee attack options not reliant on Strength or Dexterity. Currently, however, there is only one weapon in Elden Ring 's game world that scales with both Intelligence and Faith (the Sword of Night and Flame) and no weapons/Ashes of War with Intelligence/Arcane or Faith/Arcane scaling. If future DLC introduces new magical or weird weapons to Elden Ring with the attribute scales mentioned above, players who create "Int/Faith," "Int/Arcane," or "Faith/Arcane" mage characters will gain access to many more interesting combat approac

The third boss she can be summoned for is the Draconic Tree Sentinel. For this sign to appear, all players need to have done is give her the Valkyrie Prosthesis and have defeated the Godskin Apostle. The final **Elden Ring ** boss she can summon is the Black Blade Kindred boss in the Forbidden Lands. Like the previous boss, players just need to have given Millicent the prosthesis and defeated the Godskin Apos

Elden Ring has several NPCs that can only be summoned when certain steps are taken. Players going through their first few playthroughs of Elden Ring may miss these important steps and not have the chance to summon a certain NPC. Other NPCs can only be summoned when specific choices are made that will drastically alter the game’s storyl

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

The Dung Eater is a terrifying Elden Ring NPC . He can first be encountered in the Roundtable Hold, and then later in the Subterranean Shunning-Ground. If players complete their quest, the Dung Eater will reward them with the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse. This rune can be used to unlock one of the game’s five endi

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

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

Most Glintstone Sorceries and Incantation magic spells in Elden Ring are empowered by a character's Intelligence score (the attribute of D &D _ -style wizards) or their Faith score (the attribute of _D &D _ -style priests/clerics). There are, however, a few magic spells that require heavy investment into more than one magical attribute. Death Sorceries, Magma Sorceries, and Golden Order Incantations require high scores in both Intelligence and Faith, while Blood Incantations, _Elden Ring Dragon Communion Incantations , and Clayman Bubble Sorceries require investment into the Arcane stat along with one of the other primary magic attribu
