10 Best Video Game Swords Ranked

Whether real, myth, or legend there likely isn't a more well-known sword in the world than Excalibur, the blade of King Arthur. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla brings this blade to life in this Viking era of England. Eivor travels below Stonehenge, retrieving this Isu artif

My experience with the Seamless Co-op mod shows how just that little bit more conventionality in Elden Ring can open the game up to people who'd never have even considered playing the game solo. Yes, you trade some of that delicious sense of solitude as you explore its terrible yet beautiful broken world, and yes everything is a little easier, but the boss fights are still riveting, and the Lands Between are still one of the most mysterious, compelling game worlds to explore, filled with lore and secrets for those who wish to seek them out.


Truly utilizing the great invasion potential of Volcano Manor is quite simple once the area is fully understood, specifically due to it being inhabited by Recusants, which the player can exploit to recruit Man-Serpe

That's how the first forty minutes or so of the Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod (played in split-screen on PC courtesy of Nucleus Co-op) looked for my partner and myself. As someone who's completed the vanilla game, I wanted to take a bit of a backseat so that she could experience some of the wonderment of Elden Ring's daunting world without too much direction. A co-op experience that began with me acting as her mentor and guide soon turned into the classically intense Elden Ring cheats Ring gauntlet; the pressure ratcheted as we ascended Stormhill, and soon we were both desperately yelling commands at each other and frantically yet methodically fighting the neon-lit boatman known as the Tibia Mariner.

The Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod does a few key things that make the game way more accessible. In fact, the mod morphs it from being a predominantly single-player game where with a bit of faff you can call on players to help you in times of need, into a full-on co-op experience. The mod lets up to four players adventure together seamlessly, removing barriers so that you can cross fog walls together, all ride your own Torrents, and explore the entire game world without disconnecting. You can even vote on fast-travelling together. It removes pretty much all friction from the co-op aspect of the game.


Though there are plenty of various foes that aid well in invasions, the Man-Serpent is much more valuable of an ally, since they wield a sword and shield. The Volcano Manor may be a treacherous location, but these summonable enemies add a certain charm to it, even more so when they facilitate a

Dark Souls III had some of the best DLC of the last decade , and when it comes to FromSoftware titles, the games somehow get even more difficult in the expansions. The Ringed City brought the subtle-yet-engrossing dark-fantasy story to a proper close, and it also gave the series one of the toughest optional bos

Elden Ring's massive commercial appeal as 'an open-world RPG from the mind of George R. R. Martin' (ostensibly) has pulled people into its maelstrom who'd never have considered playing a game like Dark Souls or Bloodborne - maybe even explicitly avoided them due to their daunting reputation. I've no doubt that Elden Ring has opened many peoples' eyes to the wonder of FromSoft games, but I've also seen the Facebook and Twitter posts of confused (and relatively casual) gamers who have struggled to understand what this weird-ass game wants from them. What superficially may look like a Skyrim or a Witcher 3 is anything but.


Before heading up, you can continue around the side, ending up on a rocky outcropping above one of those earlier Flame Chariots. This can offer you another angle from which to approach this encounter and potentially grab the Flame, Grant Me Strength incantation before the Flame Chariots even notice


Malenia is only an optional boss, but she's one of the most satisfying from both a gameplay and cinematic perspective since she has some of the most gripping and tragic lore. She glides across the stage and deals immense damage with equal precision, and Malenia also has one of the toughest attacks to outmaneuver and coun

Now, I can already hear the shrieks of the zealots who believe that as soon as you summon a player to help you beat Hoarah Loux at the 67th time of asking you've somehow bastardised your entire Elden Ring experience and should have your license to play any FromSoft game revoked; 'It's not how they want you to play it,' 'You don't get it. You're meant to suffer.' 'Why would you want to mod a game that's so perfectI ?!? What's wrong with you PC people?'
