Elden Ring: 10 Memes That Perfectly Sum Up The Game

There are a lot of bizarre characters in Elden Ring 's gigantic library of bosses . The Field boss Mad Pumpkin Head is one of many. He's not particularly memorable aside from his name. It conjures up a spooky, Halloween-style vis


What makes these creepy crawlies particularly irritating is that they are able to manifest portals in order to flank the player and are talented at spewing vomit that cause status effects. An encounter could lead to a storm of repeat assaults that stun its target to their demise. Due to these factors, the Revenants are considered more difficult than some of Elden Ring's boss

While the 48 Intelligence requirement is high, it starts with a strong B scaling in Intelligence, and the passive buff it provides to sorceries is worth it. And though the upgrade materials for it aren't easy to find, the combination of strong sorcery casting and Scarlet Rot side effect makes the Rotten Crystal Staff a powerful pick for even the most demanding of fig


Many of these players ended up spending hours on early game bosses, or even prepping to kill them, and likely never made serious progress through the game, often resembling the girl in the second half of the m

There have been many assumptions about what an Elden Ring _ DLC will entail, but among these theories, a supposed future DLC called _Barbarians of the Badlands has spread over the internet as rumors of leaks have proliferated. As exciting as this may sound for fans, this title leak is the result of a ransomware attack on Bandai Namco Entertainment, an attack that has resulted in the reveal of several game titles to be released in 2023 even while many have doubts about the leak's authentic


For a weapon as strong as this, its 18 Intelligence requirement is rather generous, and it gives an S scaling right off the bat. Aside from having to venture into Caelid early, its only other downside is that it can't be upgraded, which is why the Meteorite Staff is great for beginn


Further support for the leak being a hoax lies in the fact that a ransomware attack will naturally demand some form of payment from its target. When Cyberpunk 2077 studio CD Projekt Red was hacked , they received a ransom note demanding payment with the threat of releasing information. It makes little sense for ALPHV to hack into Bandai Namco’s servers, steal sensitive data, and then give out vital information they are holding hostage for f


If the leak is true and Barbarians of the Badlands is the name of the future Elden Ring DLC, then there is a possibility player will learn more about several major NPC characters and game lore.

This rendered its staggering effect useless, as bosses and players alike could close in on a Hoarfrost Stomp user and attack in between the usages of the no-longer-spammable Ash of


The Albinauric Staff will be a seamless fit for toying around with Arcane-focused incantations and inflicting status ailments, as well as being able to use some sorceries on the side. At its best, the Albinauric Staff will still hit an admirable B scaling in Intelligence alongside its hefty S scaling in Arc


Murderous alone and even more so in a pack, Soulsborne Dogs have always been a pain. These mutts are not just nimble, but are perceptive aggressors, challenging players to strike and dodge diligently or die try
