Ring

The peak of the Mountaintops of the Giants holds the Flame of Ruin, but that's not all that's hidden within the Lands Between's snowy mountain range in Elden Ring. Malenia, one of the fiercest demigods and a Shardbearer, hides here somewhere, as well. If you can defeat her, you can claim her Great Rune--but you'll have to find her first, and doing so is no easy task.You're not the first to go looking for Malenia or her brother, Miquella, in fact. Sir Gideon Ofnir the All-Knowing, the Tarnished knight you…

You've defeated Morgott and made your way to the Erdtree, only to discover the way forward is blocked. During your journey through Elden Ring, your goal has always been to make your way to the Erdtree and seize the title of Elden Lord, but even though you've acquired a number of Great Runes at this point, some force is still barring you from entering the tree and claiming what's yours. There's more to the story of what's going on with the Erdtree and the Elden Ring, but we won't discover it for some time.…

A new Elden Ring mod allows you to turn your favourite NPCs and bosses into summonable companions. The mod, called NPCs and Bosses Spirit Summons, also lets you tweak the range of areas where you can summon a spirit so that they become Skyrim-style companions rather than occasional allies (via PC Gamer). Other tweaks have also been made so companions appear more normal, such as rebalancing their powers and behaviours, and disabling the ‘summon glow’. While you might obviously expect characters like Melina, Sellen,…

Despite not being in the same franchise, Elden Ring is still very much a FromSoftware Souls-style experience. At this point, the studio's reputation, game design choices, narratives, and gameplay mechanics are intrinsically tied to every project it announces. In some ways, Elden Ring is the most different from its recent catalog of titles, but in other ways, it is very familiar. Some things like the pace of combat, healing system, and fog walls hiding incredibly tough, monstrous bosses all return, while the open…

Astronomers may have just stumbled upon the first known case of an intergalactic supernova remnant. The international team of experts found a mysterious circular ring that is believed to be the remains of an exploded star. This giant ring-shaped phenomenon near our neighbouring galaxy is being called a "rogue" supernova remnant. Named J0624–6948, it is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The research was led by Professor Miroslav Filipovic from the School of Science,…

Every Souls game has placed you in the underdog position. You're outnumbered, outclassed, and outmatched in just about every encounter you faced. Only by careful play, mastery of your own moves, and ability to read and adapt to your enemies can you overcome the challenges each game stacks against you. Elden Ring is no different in that regard. You may have an entire open world to explore, but the challenges that are hidden away, or even placed directly in your path, are just as brutal as in prior games from this…

Elden Ring is not part of the mainline Souls games, but in almost every way it is a spiritual successor to those titles. The combat is a more polished, expanded, and satisfying version of the formula FromSoftware has been iterating on ever since Demon's Souls, only now set in a new setting with a fully open-world environment to explore. Another element that Souls fans will immediately recognize is the way the game presents — or more accurately obfuscates — certain information. Story and lore are the primary examples…
