Elden Ring: 10 Hardest Achievements To Unlock Ranked

In keeping with most FromSoft sidequests, none of Ranni's questline is obvious, and most of it requires the traversal of out-of-the-way areas the player would otherwise have little reason to reach. It culminates with a battle against Astel, Naturalborn of the Void , which is a tough eldritch entity that's almost befitting of a spot among the roster of Bloodborne 's boss


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


There are only six legendary Spirit Ashes in Elden Ring , and most of them are tucked away in catacombs and evergaols. Collecting them all without a guide will require persistence, but it's nothing a veteran adventurer couldn't han


The Fell Twins are the best duo bosses in the game because their fight is much different compared to the other bosses. To find this duo, players need to defeat Elden Ring ’s tragic hero Morgott and approach the Divine Tower of East Altus. Unlike other bosses, the Fell Twins are not fought in a room or arena, they are fought in total darkn


Though useful in certain situations in FromSoft's 2009 PS3-exclusive Demon's Souls and its eventual spiritual predecessor Dark Souls , few players would dare to base their builds exclusively around magic and sorcery. However, the opposite is true of Elden Ring ; plenty of players construct their characters exclusively to take advantage of some of the slg Game guide's most broken spe


While this is technically a shield, the Briar Greatshield is disappointing. This item is dropped by Elden Ring ’s Elemer of the Briar , the boss at the Shaded Castle in the Altus Plateau. This castle can be frustrating because of the high amounts of poison, the Lesser Cleanrot Knights that patrol the castle, and the two Revenants that ambush the player, making this eventual reward all the more disappoint


While the project may put emphasis on fast-paced combat over immersive exploration, FromSoftware's rumored Armored Core project should still learn from Elden Ring's streamlined user interface. Even though they're piloting a robotic mech, players shouldn't have the experience ruins by information flashing on their screen every second. Instead, a smart UI can pop up to aid in futuristic mech combat before automatically disappearing while players immerse themselves and explore the environment. If the next Armored Core game is open-world, flying around a sci-fi setting would be much more impactful without a cluttered scr


Alongside important quest items, some illusory walls lead to large locations. From the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds’ site of grace Frenzied Flame Proscription, players can strike their way through a series of illusory walls that reveal a hidden pathway to the Deeproot Depths region (which can otherwise only be accessed after beating the Valiant Gargoyle found in Siofra Aqueduct). This region is key to completing Fia and D, Hunter of the Dead’s questlines, so players should be sure to check out this area if missed on a first playthro


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


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


The Omen Cleaver is a curved greatsword that scales in strength and dexterity. There is a chance that Omen enemies will drop it. The earliest Omen enemy players can find in Elden Ring is in the courtyard of Stormveil Castle, near the Liftside Chamber site of grace. If players can get this curved greatsword early in Elden Ring , it can be a perfectly reliable weapon, though it lacks anything particularly special; it has no effects, no buffs, and no unique skill. Players can find better curved greatswords in the game overall, leaving this one as more of a cool design than a functional opt
