Every Elden Ring Duo Boss Fight Ranked

FromSoftware's latest SLG Game Maps, the massive open-world RPG Elden Ring , pushed the envelope by completely overhauling the developer's beloved soulslike genre. The game maintains the qualities that made players fall in love with Dark Souls like its challenging difficulty, cryptic lore and in-depth role-play systems. However, instead of progressing through linear levels Elden Ring sees players explore an enormous world called the Lands Between. This makes for an entirely original experience as players discover a ridiculous number of hidden items, lore and bosses across every corner of the expansive map. Elden Ring has been wildly successful since launch, and the ambitious title can teach FromSoftware a lot if the studio is truly creating a new Armored Core g


The reason the greatshield doesn't live up to its promise is that it blocks 93% of physical damage; for a greatshield, one expects that it should block 100%. The shield does cause 70 bleed damage, but only when players use the bash skill. It would be more interesting if the bleed buildup happened when blocking enemy attacks, as such a passive bleed buildup could easily make up for the lesser block percent


Since it has such an interesting design, it would be cool to see different versions of the Torchpole. Since there is a Ghostflame Torch in Elden Ring , seeing a Ghostflame Torchpole would be fun for players to experiment with, or perhaps even an actual spear based on the Torchpole that does better physical and increased fire damage while lighting up the darkn


The Torchpole is one of Elden Ring 's most straightforwardly named items, being quite literally a torch on the end of a pole. The weapon has good range, inflicts small amounts of fire damage, and lights up dark areas, but it is a lackluster weapon overall, despite the interesting concept. When fully upgraded, the Torchpole does adequate damage, but there are stronger, more versatile spears in the game. Infusing or buffing the weapon is impossible, and players cannot change the weapon’s sk

Released back in 1997, Armored Core is a third-person sci-fi shooter where players construct and pilot their own combat mech called an Armored Core. Players take on missions to earn credits, which can then be spent on new modifications for their mech that make them progressively stronger in combat. Customization has been a key part of the series since the beginning, with players able to tweak their Armored Core's speed, strength and weaponry by mixing and matching parts. The original game spawned a long line of sequels which all followed a similar gameplay structure, with the most recent addition to the series being 2013's Armored Core: Verdict


There are 237 boss encounters in Elden Ring , so players would be hard-pressed to find every one. However, several high-level bosses with impressive lore take several steps to discover. For example, the Dragonlord Placidusax, a giant dragon boss, can be reached from the Beside the Great Bridge site of grace inside Crumbling Farum Azula, where players must jump down a path of floating rocks and obscured ledges before being prompted to lie down and taken to the fight. Similarly, Lichdragon Fortissax, another dragon boss, can only be found after completing Fia’s questline and talking to her three times, whereupon the player can enter Fia's Elden Ring deathbed dream and defeat the dragon to unlock one of the game's six endi


**[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Elden Ring .] ** Developer FromSoftware is known for its grueling, lengthy games. Prior to the game’s release, producer Yasuhiro Kitao claimed that the main questline would take around 30 hours - but in reality, it can take over 100 hours to beat depending on the player’s approach. From the get-go, the lore behind the Lands Between remains a mystery, and players can choose to investigate the game’s backstory as deeply or as briefly as they so desire. Killing certain NPCs can also prevent particular questlines, so personal choices can make or break how much of the story the player can unco


Despite letting players explore an enormous and wide-open fantasy world, Elden Ring has a remarkably clean user interface. Necessary information like health, stamina and item selection is clearly displayed during combat, but the game's default setting hides these displays during exploration. The screen isn't blocked by navigational tools, either, since players are expected to explore freely or use the in-game map to place visible markers across the Lands Between. While mocking the cluttered UI in Ubisoft game Skull & Bones _ , many fans used _Elden Ring as an example of a simple and effective user interface in an open-world ti


With 29 side quests, over 100 bosses, and an unforgivingly cryptic narrative, Elden Ring players on their first playthrough can easily miss important character progressions, large areas, items, and boss fights. Listed below are some of the most important secrets that can easily be missed without a gu
