Following the backlash of Game of Thrones season 8, Martin was given the chance to write the history of Elden Ring . The dark fantasy style of Soulsborne games allowed Martin, known for killing off beloved characters, the creative freedom to possibly include Elden Ring sidequests with sad endings and feuds between characters whose views leave the player uncertain as to whom they should support. When the Tarnished returns from their exile, they are nobody important to the inhabitants of the Lands Between, and it's possible Martin felt the same way, entering into the position of writing for a video game rather than a novel. He may well have felt a lot like the Tarnished concept he was creating, someone exploring an unfamiliar landscape. He may have been searching for a way to regain his Grace and continue the Golden Order by fixing his reputation, just as the Tarnished can ultimately repair the Elden R

While the Tarnished should not be too hard on themselves for any inadvertent mistakes they make, the consequences of their actions can be deadly for Elden Ring 's NPCs. The Lands Between are harsh, and they judge their inhabitants harshly. While the game's design can stop players from making significant decisions or making them unawares, **Elden Ring Nightreign Ring ** 's cause-and-effect storytelling approach remains impactful a major part of the game's app

**Elden Ring ** , like many games, receives regular patches to improve gameplay and address any bugs or glitches that may be occurring. Oftentimes, the patch notes for games will include a vague line that other improvements have been made and bugs have been fixed, but the details for those changes aren't listed. The most recent patches, 1.03 and 1.04, included some unmentioned changes to the game that players might have missed, including some hidden nerfs to enem

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

Robbed of the Greater Will's Grace, Elden Ring 's Godfrey became the first Tarnished, exiled from the Lands Between and told to struggle, fight, and grow stronger before they return. In a way, Godfrey's journey mimics Martin's journey as a writer. Godfrey was a strong warrior before catching Marika's attention, as Martin was a talented writer before Game of Thrones caught HBO's attention. As Godfrey was risen to the position of Elden Lord, Martin, too, was put on a pedestal as the world fell in love with Game of Thrones . Godfrey was a tool for Marika, somebody that she could use to advance her own goals, and it could be argued that Martin became a tool for HBO, having to entrust the unfinished material of his final book to the showrunners because the show was made faster than he could write the final b

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

I tried to restart from the beginning of the game but bounced off about ten minutes into Pathologic 2's intro on two different occasions. I wasn't able to get back into it at first, and there's likely a lot of reasons for this. I was playing it wrong. Pathologic 2 didn't explain itself to me. The introduction is far too long. I wasn't paying enough attention to my actions because I was treating it like a video game. I was choosing dialog haphazardly. I wasn't judging whether or not the people I talked to in the game world actually had my best interests at heart. I wasn't focusing on being Artemy. I was stressing out about the wrong meters. I wasn't in the z

And utilized Extract Labs' Full Spectrum CBD Muscle Cream multiple times. Even after all this consumption and testing, it is hard to determine whether or not the CBD had much of a tangible effect, which is somewhat damning in and of itself. Sometimes I felt good, sometimes I felt bad, sometimes I felt relaxed, sometimes I didn't. Such is life, and CBD didn't seem to do much to affect the general flow of what would have normally happened anyway. At one point I twisted my ankle while jumping out of a tree and Extract Labs' Muscle Cream did soothe the soreness, but not any better than I could remember generic store-brands working, and I didn't want to repeat the process to compare it with a fresh, non-CBD alternat

If a player gets into Mohg's boss room without going through the fog gate, then his AI isn't triggered and he won't attack the player. The tombstone that players used to get over the wall and into the room was moved in patch 1.03 so that this skip can no longer be done. Elden Ring players will have to find new ways to cheese Mohg, Lord of Blo
