Elden Ring Gameplay
The Elden Ring Wiki covers Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc, is a fantasy action-RPG adventure set within a world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki -creator of the influential DARK SOULS video game series, and George R R Martin - author of The New York Times best-selling fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Danger and discovery lurk around every corner in FromSoftware's largest game to-date.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, President and Game Director of FromSoftware Inc known for directing critically-acclaimed games in beloved franchises including Armored Core, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.
George R R Martin is the On the New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the acclaimed series A Song of Ice and One - A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast For Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. As a writer-producer, he has worked on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and pilots that were never made.
Elden Ring Reveal
- Elden Ring has been in production since the end of the Dark Souls III DLC.
This is in contrast to Sekiro, that begun production in 2015 after Bloodborne. - Elden Ring will release on PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4
- Bandai Namco is publishing and has registered the Elden Ring IP
- Elden Ring Release Date – From our observations
The release window for this game is unlikely to match FromSoftware’s traditional March-April, and is more likely to fall into Dark Souls’ September-October release. - “Elden Ring is a third-person action RPG with a fantasy setting… gameplay is not so far from Dark Souls… Elden Ring belongs to the same genre.”
- Plethora of weapons, magic and builds, and a focus on RPG elements. FromSoftware expects equipment variety to be larger than Souls in this regard.
- No main fixed protagonist, players create the characteristics and personality of their character. This leads us to believe Character Creation is a given.
- The World of Elden Ring is vast and interconnected. No longer a continuity of “levels”, players see vast landscapes in between the “dungeon-esque” areas.
- The larger world scale allows for freedom, promotes exploration, and introduces new and exciting mechanics, such as Horse Riding and Mounted Combat.
- Elden Ring is a “natural evolution of Dark Souls.” New mechanics needed by this larger world. Expect FromSoftware’s trademark challenging boss battles.
- Towns won’t be full of villagers, merchants and the like. They will be ruins, dungeons and exploration hubs. As Souls there is no vast population of NPCs.
- The NPCs the player finds are expected to be the most compelling yet in the studio’s work, thanks to Martin’s involvement in the Mythos.
George R. R. Martin has written the world’s mythos and Hidetaka Miyazaki has written the game story. - Story will be revealed through “fragments of environmental storytelling” as in previous Souls games.
- Mythos and the present moment of the player are connected and exploration will lead players to understand why things are as they are.
- There is no information at time of writing about multiplayer/online/invasions.
A NEW FANTASY WORLD

Elden Ring Pre-Release: What We Knew Before Launch
Elden Ring Story Overview
The Lands Between
The Lands Between is the world of Elden Ring, and to those who live in The Lands Between were blessed by the Elden Ring and the "Erdtree". Those who were blessed by the Elden Ring are characterized by having a golden aura that can be seen in their eyes. However, at some point, some of those who were blessed, lost their grace, was exiled and labeled as the Tarnished. As time passed, for unknown reasons, the Elden Ring was shattered across the lands and its pieces were picked up by many of the 6 demigods, where they inherited different powers and have physically changed and twisted due to being corrupted by the power.
The Lands Between is broken into 6 distinct areas that is overseen by a demigod and features a central hub that connects all these 6 areas. According to an interview with Miyazaki, players will have total freedom as to the order they want to tackle for each area, and it is up to the player on how they want to approach it. Apart from that the hub will not be accessible at the beginning of the game, which means you will need to progress the game until you reach the hub area.
According to Hidetaka Miyazaki: "The Lands Between is supposed to invoke this feeling of something that's very mysterious and very ethereal – and we hope that when players play the game, they're going to experience that."
The Tarnished
In the official reveal trailer that was presented in E3 2021, you'll see a softly spoken, hooded woman saying "The Tarnished, will soon return." The question is, who and what is The Tarnished? Simple, The Tarnished is you, the player, you are one of the Tarnished that have been exiled upon losing their blessing that was given by the Elden Ring and the "Erdtree", a tree that hosts source and life of The Lands Between. Very much like previous Souls games, you are the chosen undead or the ashen one. You are then called back to The Lands Between, as well as the other Tarnished after the destruction of the Elden Ring to recover the shards of the Elden Ring, to make them whole once again, and to become the lord of The Lands Between.
According to Hidetaka Miyazaki in an interview: " I feel like one of the main themes of the game is how the player, the Tarnished, approaches or treats this new-found grace and this return to the land that they were once banished from, how they interpret this and the meaning. It's not just the player-character, of course, it's lots of characters in the game, who are all beckoned back and will have their own adventures and motives. We want the player to discover for themselves what that means and how they want to begin their adventure."
Combat in Elden Ring
Stealth
Stealth mechanics seem that will be present and may be useful in combination with backstab attacks, also the game may feature a night and day mechanic that may affect the stealth mechanic as well. Stealth as many are aware of, will allow the player to crouch, sneak, and hide behind tall grass to be less detected by the enemy. Stealth will play an integral mechanic in combat since you can use it to your advantage to sneak behind an enemy to instantly kill them or at least deal a large amount of damage from using a stealth attack.
Freedom in Character Build
In the trailer that was revealed in E3 2021, we see a lot of unique Skills, magical abilities, and even having a horse leaping up a cliffisde, as well as attacking while riding your Mount. These are Skills that you pick up through the player's progression and exploration. There are some cases that a player can acquire a skill through purchasing it from merchants or learning them from an NPC, but during an interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki that was featured, he stresses out that in general, skils are hidden throughout the game's world, and it is the player's responsibiility to discover these through exploration.
Elden Ring will have complete freedom when it comes to building up your character, you are basically free to combine your Skills with different weapons and equipment, and you'll learn magic as well. Skills are freely interchangeable between a large variety of weapons as per Hidetaka Miyazaki, and that there are around 100 Skills. With having less restrictions, players will have even more variations of Builds that is even richer than previous Souls games.
Day & Night Cycle
Real-time changes are featured in Elden Ring in the form of the Day and Night cycle, as well as Dynamic Weather. These features also heavily affect gameplay, combat, and the world you are exploring. For example, in cases that you are romaing at night, both players and enemies will change in terms of aggression due to a decrease in visibility, and some special enemies that only appear at night will come out.
Covenants
Traditional souls Covenants or Factions are not feature of Elden Ring. Elden Ring Covenants are instead player-chosen allegiances or pledges undertaken to specific deities or groups of NPCs. Based on previous titles, Players can expect their covenant to affect their gameplay by changing their Online interactions, or by creating new situations were users can collect special items or defeat certain enemies to rank up and obtain special rewards. Rewards are usually Magic, Weapons and Armor pieces.
New Mechanics
Elden Ring will have a large scale in terms of the world and exploration, and to go hand-in-hand with this, some new mechanics are introduced such as jumping, yes players can jump now, as well as riding on horseback (Mounts). Hidetaka Miyazaki strongly suggests that you thoroughly search and explore every section of the world to find Skills that are hidden.
There are a number of choices as well that players can approach their way of combat, some may be brave and choose to go on head-to-head, while others would rather have allies such as being able to summon the spirits of deceased enemies.
Summoning the Dead
One of the combat aspects of Elden Ring is being able to summon Spirits that can help you in battle. These spirits are usually the fallen souls of the enmies that you defeat, and summoning them will have them assist you in combat. These are your offline summons, and it is quite different to have your friends or other playres summoned to your session which is available in Online co-op play. What's interesting with multiplayer is that you can even set a password on your calling marks, so that this way you can just have your friends join your session, if you're more comfortable with that rather than having a random drop in.
Accorting to Miyazaki, "|These spirit summons, we feel like – as well as there being a large variety to them – they're a nice collectable hidden element within the game world to discover and to equip as you go. They offer a lot of different strategic options, but also the player might find that they just like a certain enemy tagging along with them, a certain summon pleases them aesthetically. So there's a lot of strategic and a lot of personal touch to these summons. And we hope that players will also enjoy discovering their own progression elements as well."
Game Difficulty
There will only be ONE difficulty in Elden Ring. The decision of FromSoftware leaning towards this feature can benefit both new and veteran players of this genre. Elden Ring features a large scale when it comes to its world and exploration, so it does make sense that it really is up to you on how you want to tackle the game, it is highly encouraged that players carefully assess the situation that lies ahead and to find different ways to deal with it. This also provides a good camaraderie within the community since everyone can share their experiences and hopefully help one another.

Hey, I can't seem to find if there is an entry on the whole "Someone in your group has become (Elden) Lord" thing and the unique buff you get and other messages when someone defeats a shardbearer.
If you're doing an RL1 run, here's a tip: Upgrade the spear.
Also, if you're blocking with a shield, you can still attack with the spear's R1. Not only that, but it will actually become faster and spammable. This allows you to get really quick staggers and do a boatload of damage with a lot less risk. You can usually kill phase 2 before he summons the raining skulls, which is fantastic.
Can someone update the "IS THERE ELDEN RING DLC?" Section pls

Kinda sad they didn't expand upon the Mound-Makers covenant idea from Dark Souls 3 (Don't remember if they existed in Dark Souls 1 or if they had something similiar). Basically you could invade/help others by either using a sign or the invader item which turned you into a purple phantom based on if you had Mound-Makers covenenat equipped. The meaning of purple meant you were an enemy of both invaders and hosts/phantoms, but you could put down a sign which made you a wild card for those who dared to choose you as a partner, since your objective is to kill anyone you please even if someone spawned you in as a "supposed" friend.
Once you killed a target such as an invader, phantom or host, you won the match. But this is what I feel was the biggest problem for me. I wish purple phantoms (Not Purple Invaders) could help someone in a boss fight, but also sabotage in a boss fight if the purple survived all the way to the end. But it would also be nice to be able to help if that is your wish. The downside of this would be that even if you do wanna help you might still kill your host-friend by unluckily striking at the wrong moment. The good side would be you are not forced to spawn in a purple phantom, but you can always be invaded by one.
I thought Recusants were going to be the "Purples" and Blood Fingers the "Red" invaders, but nope.
Anyways, I hope something similiar to Mound-Makers makes a return. Because the core idea is a brilliant one and I'd love to see chaotic the world could be with a purple phantom.

I hope there's no expansion because I think that'd be funnier
Idk if I'm really not gud or if I came to this area too early. Found this place while exploring and I'm level 54. I summoned 2 players and they did way more damage than I did. I should have at least tried it solo first. I regret not doing it, even if I may not have been able to win. Considering the challenge of Siofra River, I went into this boss fight with no confidence that I could defeat it on my own. Perhaps someday I'll find out.

What makes Metroidvanias (2d and 3d) so interesting is the "mole aspect". That you dig your own path. Emerge in new areas, find new corridors to new abilities and new possibilities. In an open world this is non existing.

So, it´s a good game, but i like Dark Souls better, at least Dark Souls is not full of posers who claim to have played the entire saga and only knew it from this game in the first place, besides dark souls is not such an empty world, it seems that turning recurring enemies into bosses is not very good idea, really From and Miyazaki could have done better...

Elden Recycling: sponsored by Greenpeace. Seriously, I had (still have) quite some fun with the game and generally enjoyed it, but the amount of rehashed bosses, copy-pasted dungeons and open world that's not exactly that open was, among other things, a pain in the ass. Overall, 7/10 for me. Also F*CK MALENIA.

While I really like the addition of the Samurai armor sets which open new avenues for light weight dexterity role plays. There are so many sets that are too crooked, twisted or asymmetric to look good to me.
The good ones for a classic yet majestic knight play are there: Gelmir knight, Haligtree/Tree Sentinel set, Cuckoo set etc.
Although, I were able to bring one set back that looked majestic, purposeful but also had an interesting twist to it(helmet shape), it would be the Eleum Loyce set.
On the other side, I also have worn the Ruin Sentinel a lot which had this sleek lightweight look.
Furthermore, I miss the existence of lightweight sets that bridge the gap between reinforced textile clothing like Sage's or Black Knife and the full-metal/chain mail look. The DS2 Forlorn set looked so good.

It's a whole elden ring moment when you can enjoy the game your first playthrough because you're playing blind. It was really cool seeing everything for the first time.
But elden ring really isn't all that. WOw bomb drop, what a shocker to throw that out at the game of the year, the honeymoon face is over bro.
Me trying to play through the game a second time can be summed up by me trying to create a build, playing it for 3 hours and then getting incredibly bored because it's basically no different from the build I played before. I have 4 different characters going to through the game a second time because I got so incredibly bored by the limitations put on me that I just created a new character for that variation that I craved. The wonder of exploration does not carry me through the game anymore, now it's the combat system and mechanics carrying me and it can't carry me. It's so bland, it's so basic, black and white.
Here are my complaints:
-limited to only one ash of war if you don't want to go through the tedious process of two handing or swapping weapons mid fight
-your left hand is a glorified shield and catalyst holder with a meager addon for extremely basic dual-wielding
-there is not a single weapon in the game nor a single shield that can cast sorceries or incantations
-there are 309 weapons in the game, like 10 of them get used by the majority of the player base, 30 are hidden gems, 40 can be used in niche ways and the rest get outshined and or are completely useless. It's a terrible case of quantity over quality, reskins with slightly different stats. I wish move sets could be swapped too, or the limitations with ashes of war were lifted. You should be able to put spinning weapon on a colossal because spinning weapon is incredibly underpowered. Or you should be able to switch ashes of war on any weapon. Like why are crystal weapons locked from this mechanic?
-Craftable items are unnecessary, the process of getting them are not worth the time and they last to short of a time to be worth while. It's easier to just roll yourself to victory than to go through a process that potentially has no payoff.
-The balancing is garbage, using some magics and weapons feels like you're putting yourself at a disadvantage, aka thorn sorceries. And many others I don't care to mention, think of one yourself.
-It's incredibly hard to change builds on the fly thanks to the upgrade material drought. I've managed to work around this by turning off anti-cheat and installing cheat engine.
-Lastly the world is the same old in ng+, I don't understand why it's so hard to shuffle enemies or add new ones into the game in NG+. ds2 was better in many ways in my opinion, it even had iframes on backsteps. AKA combat variety. omg bring it back.

If the Dark Souls I and Dark Souls II servers are still offline and an Elden Ring DLC comes out, i'm gonna be real tight. I'd much rather do invasions in a game where I don't have to make some op bleed build to kill gankers. (Invasions not duels)

It would be so nice if you could find a way to load your ads at the same time the rest of the page loads so your don't start reading for 3-4 seconds only to have the screen reformat and offset what your reading several inches down the page EVERY TIME you load a new page. It's annoying as F**K and reduces the map and text size to half of the usable area. I'm sure SOUL HACKERS 2 is the best thing since sliced bread, but come on...try advertising it in a way that doesn't make you want to scream expletives every time you see it!!!!
compared to other fromsoftware games, I find elden ring lacking the same replayability value that I find in the other games, hell, even Dark Souls 2 has more replay value.

I probably should have given this game another year of patches and updates before buying it. It's very clearly unfinished in some areas and many enemies have barely been playtested, if at all. I have very low hopes for future DLC. They will most likely just release whatever they had planned in said DLC and not bother to fix or restore any current content. Maybe in two or three years we might at least see a content restoration mod or something like that.

If you found Elden Ring enjoyable and wish to explore more Fromsoftware games here are my recommendations:
If you like Elden Ring for its open world, technologically speaking Dark souls 1 can be somewhat non-linear, but Dark souls 2 is more centered around it (although you might want to check out the Seeker of Fire or Augur of Darkness mods before play it).
If you like Elden Ring for its scenery then you might also like Sekiro: shadows die twice and Bloodborne.
If you like Elden Ring but more methodically then may want to check out Demon's Souls and Dark souls 1.
If you like Elden Ring but better bosses then Dark souls 3, Sekiro, and Bloodborne are your picks.
(I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but) if you like Elden Ring's lore then the closest one is Dark souls 2's, but if you generally like Fromsoftware's lore building then you might like Dark souls 1's and Bloodborne's lore.
If you like Elden Ring's PVP then you might like Dark Souls 3's (although right now its having trouble because of a security breach).
If you want a Fromsoft game with faster pace then Armor core and Bloodborne are good choices.
If you like the stealth mechanic, Sekiro: shadows die twice has you covered.
If deflecting attacks before a KO or parrying sounds fun, the you'll love Sekiro: shadows die twice and Bloodborne.
If you want more of a story and NPC interactions, you might like Déraciné (however you need a playstation VR set to play it) and Sekiro.
If you like Elden Ring's gameplay as is, then Dark souls 2 is the closest one.
If you want to fight against bosses that are obscenely gigantic than yourself, well, each Fromsoftware game has its own share of towering bosses, but the ones with the most are Demon's souls and Dark souls 1.

To be fair there are ways to get early op in the Souls game aswell. Remember Demons Souls and the Magic Falchion. Dark Souls and the Drake Sword. Dark Souls 3 and the Dark Hand. And until Sulyvahn pretty much all bosses are push overs with that weapon. Bloodborne and Sekiro may be the only games where we cannot cheese this hard and have to actually work to get OP. I mean I have problems with Elden Ring myself but I think we are a bit biased here if we say this is a break with traditions. When the implemented Easy Mode was always part of that tradition.

Hello,
I was wondering if the page has an API to be able to use the information from it or if they are willing to pass the information of the elements used on the page

Every boss can be outplayed if you one tap them and time dodges. After 10+ tries you can remember any bosses move set so don’t get discouraged.This game teaches discipline with patience, memory, not to be greedy, and experimentation.

For a pure strength build i needed to level up to SL119/knight class to reach all the hard caps (40vig/40end/66str) in Dark Souls 3. If I do the same for the vagabound class in ER I will end up with runelevel 159 (60vig/50end/80str). I think there is our meta level boys and girls: >.

Some serious love and work is needed for this wiki..
I use it and I love it, but, between things being outdated or inaccurate.. again it needs some love. If I had more free time I'd help with that rather than musing about it, but, alas.

Input Buffer is extra special in this. You want to dodge role, get hit. You SLOWLY stand up, you and the boss look each other in the eyes. For a long time. And after sesonds which feel like an eternity your character suddenly starts to role around ignoring all your commands until that point.

People were right! ER is like another DS3. With 150h of walking between the interesting parts. Truly next phase...

My first and last FS game, I won't give money to a company that caves in to the pvp community's demands about nerfs when it's a 99% pve game. I've played hundreds of games in my life,guaranteed far more than any of you. Never have I encountered such a toxic bunch of a-holes that can't shut up to the point where the majority of people playing solo are also affected by their complaints. Didn't like that FS opened up to other players? Well you're getting your game back, you're the biggest problem FS has to allowing others to embrace their games.

Incredible game 10/10, beautiful world, excellent level design & rewarding exploration. To top it all off some of the best bosses from soft have ever made and a great combat system
Edit: sorry I thought I was on the Sekiro wiki

Ds3 has more unique boss fights and enemy variety. Er is so bad in that, even ds2 can be excused for repeating bosses because Miyazaki was not involved. But for his 'masterpiece'? Lol just no.
my opinion:
Game looks good world looks good, enemies look good
Weapons are pretty cool all look nice for the world
bosses look good
but
balancing sucks
bosses are not as good as DS3
some attacks suck
a lot of poorly made duo bosses (godskin)
alot of copy pasted bosses, i get for lore reasons but come one FS.
and of course the worst thing about elden ring
NO PKCS

God, I hate this game so much... 6/10. Every day, I regret buying it a little more than I did the day before.

Oh, arise now, ye tarnished! Ye dead who yet live!
The call of long lost grace speaks to us all!
GWYN, THE LOR- i mean KING VENDRICK OF DRAN- wait no, i mean GEHRMA- no GODFRE- i mean HOARAH LOUX, CHIEFTAIN OF THE BADLANDS
THE EVER BRILLIANT FURTIVE PYGMY, SO EASILY FORGOTTEN!
FIA, THE INFERIOR WAIFU TO RANNI THE WITCH!
THE DASTARDLY DOO-DOO DEVOURER!
AND SIR GIDEON GLEEFUL, THE ALL KNOWING!
And one other whom grace would again bless. A nameless unde- tarnished of no renown.
Cross the fog, to the lands between...
To stand before the Elden Ring...

I may, or may not, end up writing a review of this game soon; a thing that nobody else gives a **** about, but it's sightly relevant to this post: I can't possibly give this game a score higher than 6/10. It's not total ****, but it's definitely not a great game; it's okay, at best.

Just a lowly tarnished waiting for the enemy to stop attacking so I can get a hit or two in.

A flawed masterpiece but still better then Skyrim and many other open world games so I approve
