At the end of the questline, you can choose to help supplant her as the head of the academy, essentially giving her as much power as she wants to continue her research. The most intriguing thing is that at this point, at the height of her potential, you can return here to find her transformed. It's undefined why, but piecing together evidence from the world around, this may be what becomes of sorcerers who are overzealous in their pursuit of knowledge and mastery over sorc

He'll task you with an assassination, just like the regular assassination quests. However, while those targets are more or less just tarnished minding their own business, Patches' target is a particularly helpful Tarnished that might have helped you out on a few bosses. Later on, you'll find him again, only to give you an item and a bit of a cliffhanger ending that gives you more questions than answ

Finally, this mist being dead souls is the theory that makes the most sense for what happens in the Age of the Duskborn cutscene. Some have speculated that the mist is essentially what is conjured in Fia’s spell "Fia’s Mist," which casts a mist filled with Death Blight. While this seems like a logical connection to the Age of the Duskborn ending, it doesn’t fit with what happens. If Fia’s Mist were to envelop the Lands Between, it would kill all Tarnished including the player. But since the Tarnished lives, it is made clear that the mist is not Fia’s Mist in Elden Ring . Instead, it must be the dead souls once contained in the Erdtree, because this better reflects the principle of death being integrated back into Or

Ranni's motive is all about striking back against The Greater Will, the game's cosmic entity behind the forces of the Erdtree and the Fingers. She wishes to get rid of the divine influence that guides everyone's fate, leaving her, the tarnished, and anyone else to command their destiny. It was a very ambitious goal she had been after for some time, all she needed to find was the perfect accomplice, the next Elden L

Plenty of ferocious monsters and enemies are scattered throughout the Lands Between, and nearly all are formidable opponents. And as you may imagine, the bigger they are, the more challenging the opponent. This isn't the rule all the time, as Malenia , one of if not the most challenging bosses, is about the same size as your average Tarnished. But that statement holds true with the Elden Beast , Radahn , and some other brutal fig

In early versions of Elden Ring , the Sword of Night And Flame , found in the Caria Manor legacy dungeon of Limgrave, was viewed as powerful to a game-breaking degree, featuring a special Night-and-Flame Stance skill granting players access to both a powerful beam of light and a broad wave of crimson fl

The second to last Erdtree Avatar is located in the Northeast of Liurnia . The fastest way to reach this foe is by traveling to the Mausoleum Compound Site of Grace . From this Grace point, you should be able to see the Erdtree Directly to your E

The fifth and final Erdtree Avatar can be found in the Mountaintops of the Giants. This one is probably the hardest of the five, as he is in the late-game territory. The fastest way to reach him is to travel to the Freezing Lake Site of Grace and travel Northwest onto the hill. This may seem like the opposite direction but at the top of the hill there's a large bridge connecting you to the Erdt

In truth, Volcano Manor exists as a bit of a pseudo-covenant, in lieu of the regular ones we miss, as there are no real consequences for allying yourself with them. The "recusants" worship Rykard and as their name suggests, are spurned on by an innate sense of heretical vengeance against the erdt

Hidden inside the code of Elden Ring, there is a string of text within the Divine Tower of Limegrave map that hints there was a boss fight intended to be at the top of the Divine Tower. More specifically, it suggests that this boss would've been a Crucible Knight; however, since the name ID was set to 0, we're unable to know the boss' n

It's worth noting that the Erdtree avatars are susceptible to fire and are vulnerable to a critical hit after their stance is broken. In addition, they are primarily resistant to Holy damage and are also resistant to magic and lightning damage. In return, they deal holy and physical damage if they catch you with their gigantic hamm

There is an item in elden Ring Dlc Ring called the Bewitching Branch, crafted from a Sacramental Bud watered with Miquella's blood and a Lily made of Unalloyed Gold. Stabbing a non-boss game enemy with this branch causes them to temporarily switch sides and fight other enemies. Elden Ring 's Bewitching Branch consumable item has the following descript

In an action RPGs like Elden Ring , featuring combat mechanics centered around attacking enemies during moments of vulnerability, avoiding damage through blocking/dodging/parrying, and managing resources such as stamina, the weapons (and spells) players can find and buy throughout the Elden Ring 's open world sandbox can possess a variety of qualities. From how much damage a single attack does and how much stamina it takes, to how many focus points a weapon's special skill consumes and how much it weighs, there are several factors that contribute to an evaluation of a weapon's viability. Balancing all of Elden Ring 's mechanics so that every weapon is unique and fun to use is almost impossible, even before factoring in variables such as PvP duels and Ashes of War, yet the 1.07 patch has been well-received, particularly for buffing a number of weapons and introducing separate PvP scal
