Since the launch of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, it has been rated as the most difficult DLC in history by many players: some extremely difficult bosses and dazzling combat mechanisms make them feel that this game is too challenging. But there is a solution. You need to learn some combat skills and item selection skills.

In combat, the most important thing is to ensure that your health is always within a safe range, and the safest thing is to increase your maximum health. Usually, the higher your maximum health, the stronger your ability to survive enemy attack spells and projectiles, and you also have a lot of room for error.

In Shadow of the Erdtree, you are provided with a lot of items that can increase your maximum health, such as armor and talismans. This guide will introduce you to several best options. You can choose one or more to combine according to your usage habits or game style. Come and take a look!

Crimson Amber Medallion +3

You can find 4 Crimson Amber Medallions in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The default version can increase your maximum health by 6%, followed by 7% and 8%, and the most powerful +3 version can directly increase it by 10%.

This is far beyond the reach of many armors, and this talisman, unlike Great Runes, has no drawbacks or caveats, making it the best choice for your build when facing enemies that can be hard hit you. But it should be noted that Crimson Amber Medallion +3 can only be found in the DLC. You can go to Fog Rift Catacombs and defeat Death Knight boss and then find it in its loot.

If you just want this talisman as a supplement to your build, you can look for Crimson Amber Medallion +2 in Ashen Capital Leyndell in the base game, which is enough.

Morgott’s Great Rune

Of all Elden Ring Items that increase your maximum health, Morgott’s Great Rune is the clear winner, as it increases your health by 25%. This means that when you’re fighting a long battle with an enemy, your high health will give you more chances to defeat them, and it will also make it more likely that you’ll get the final Elden Ring Runes bonus.

But it should be noted that this bonus is ideal when you have other health-increasing buffs, equipment, and spells in your build. If you focus your entire build on health before a fight, you’ll be invincible.

Also, like the other Great Runes, Morgott’s Great Rune requires a Rune Arc before each activation, which can be a bit cumbersome, but if you think about the benefits that Morgott’s Great Rune brings to you, I believe you’ll understand its importance.

Erdtree’s Favor +2

Although Erdtree’s Favor +2 only provides you with a 4% increase in maximum health, it doesn’t seem to be outstanding, but that’s not the point. This talisman also grants you an extra 10% Stamina and 8% Equip Load. These bonuses make it a versatile and valuable talisman for a wide range of builds.

You can combine Erdtree’s Favor +2 with Radahn’s Great Rune to get a significant boost to both Health and Stamina. Best of all, it weighs only 1.5, making it lighter than regular armor, making it very easy to equip.

You’ll find a large courtyard in Ashen Capital Leyndell, and within it is a tree guarded by three Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirits. The Erdtree’s Favor +2 is in that tree. If you don’t want to fight the little monsters, you can just run up to this talisman and run away immediately. If you want to farm some Elden Ring Runes here, you can do so as the Lesser Ulcerated Tree Spirits will also drop these rewards.

Radahn’s Great Rune

Among Runes can be equipped, Radahn’s Great Rune is the most powerful and a favorite among high-level players - not only does it increase your health by 15%, it also increases your Stamina by 15%.

This is why you can use it in conjunction with Erdtree’s Favor +2 talisman, which together will significantly increase these key attributes. Like Morgott’s Great Rune, you need to use a Rune Arc before using Radahn’s Great Rune.

Radahn’s Great Rune is one trophy you get from the battle against Starscourge Radahn in Caelid, which is also one of the most challenging missions in the DLC, as you need to navigate a very dangerous platform to reach the top of the arena.

Fire Knight Helm

Fire Knight Helm first appeared in Elden Ring DLC, and is one of the few armor pieces in the base game and DLC that directly increases your total health. It gives you 2% more max health, plus 5% more Stamina and 4% more Equip Load, making it a versatile Elden Ring Item.

Compared to the previous talismans, Fire Knight Helm also provides you with a solid protection - strong resistance to physical and fire damage. If you want an item that can both protect you and increase key attributes, Fire Knight Helm is the best.

And compared to the previous items, Fire Knight Helm is a little more difficult to obtain, requiring you to challenge Fire Knights in Shadow Keep repeatedly until one of them drops it. But you can also get other parts of Fire Knight Armor Set from it, which is also very useful.

The above are the items in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC that can increase your maximum health and enhance your survivability. If you have better options, you are welcome to share them with many players in IGGM Discord. I wish you a merry game in this interesting game!

Elden Ring features a blue NPC named Ranni the Witch. She is considered one of the most fascinating characters in Lands Between, as she grants players the ability to use Spirit Calling Bell, which gives them access to Spirit Ashes. As players continue their adventures in Liurnia of the Lakes, she will reappear with a series of quests for players to complete.

To complete Ranni’s questline, players must travel to a hidden location called Nokstella, Eternal City, a hidden underground city filled with a variety of interesting enemies, mysterious lore, and fantastic scenery. However, getting there can be a hard process. This guide will detail how to reach Nokstella, Eternal City and collect the many valuable resources hidden there, such as Elden Ring Runes and items used to upgrade Spirit Ashes.

Path 1

Step One: Starting Ranni’s Questline

Starting Ranni, Witches’ long questline is the easiest way to get to Nokstella, Eternal City. First, you need to collect an item from Ranni. You will then need to make your way through Caria Manor, eventually defeating Royal Knight Loretta and fighting Glintstone Dragon Adula before visiting her in the tower at Ranni’s Rise in Three Sisters area of ​​Liurnia of the Lakes.

After successfully defeating the ghost of Loretta and confronting Adula, you will meet Ranni. After speaking with her, you will need to pledge your allegiance to Ranni, and only then will she give you the quest to retrieve Fingerslayer Blade from Nokron.

Step Two: Getting Fingerslayer Blade For Ranni

Go to Redmane Castle in the southeastern corner of Caelid to find and defeat Starscourge Radahn. Once you defeat this Scarlet Rot-infested demigod, his control over the universe will weaken, causing a comet to crash-land near Ancestral Woods, thus opening the way to the underground city of Nokstella.

After making your way through the city and dealing with various skeletons, Nokstella warriors, and giant metal balls, you will fight the Mimic Tear boss. You will then open a Site of Grace called Mimic Tear at the base of a large bridge. Crossing this bridge, you will see a crack in the stone railing and a path leading down a hill. Follow the path down the hill and then up another hill and you will reach Ancestral Woods Site of Grace.

You will then need to deal with Albinauric enemies as you make your way through the city. Finally, you will come to an area with another giant spherical enemy. Going out the front door of this area will take you to a path leading to another building and a series of Silver Tear enemies.

The last Silver Tear in front of the building will turn into a giant. After defeating it, continue forward and find and open the chest under the giant skeleton to reveal Fingerslayer Blade.

Step Three: Getting To Nokstella, Eternal City

Once you have Fingerslayer Blade, give it to Ranni and you will gain access to Renna’s Rise. Climb to the top of the castle and use the portal there, and you will make it all the way to Ainsel River. First, go through Uhl Palace Ruins and then through the tunnel system that leads to Nokstella, Eternal City.

Path 2

To reach Nokstella Eternal City via this path, you will need to deal with a pretty tough double boss fight. To do this, you need to return to Ancestral Woods Site of Grace, then go east, cross the road and enter a small forest area, after finding the spirit jellyfish continue to the right, you will eventually come to an area with numerous spirit jellyfish on the edge of a cliff.

Keeping to the left wall will bring you to the edge of the cliff, jump down and continue along the path. You will reach another Site of Grace, continue forward into a tower and then enter Siofra Aqueduct.

Go through this area all the way to the end. You will fight a Valiant Gargoyle & Valiant Gargoyle. These two fast-moving bosses are extremely difficult to deal with because of their powerful sweeping attacks and poisonous AoE.

Successfully killing these bosses will grant you access to a new Site of Grace at the base of the waterfall, as well as a coffin that, when interacted with, will teleport you to Deeproot Depths. Heading north in this area, you’ll eventually find another coffin that will transport you to Ansel River Main, from where you can enter Nokstella, Eternal City.

You can also reach Deeproot Depths by traversing Subterranean Shunning Grounds in Leyndell and fighting Mohg, Omen. After defeating the boss, go through a secret passage behind his reward chest to enter Deeproot Depths without having to travel to Nokron. This path will lock you into the Flame of Frenzy ending, though.

Whichever path you choose to get here, be well prepared, as each step is filled with challenges and dangers. In addition, to make it easier to complete the above tasks, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, which will post information about Elden Ring product giveaways sometimes. Hopefully, this guide will help you get to Nokstella, Eternal City, and have fun exploring it!

The latest update Elden Ring 1.14 changes the difficulty of the last boss Promised Consort Radahn, making this previously daunting boss accompanied with overwhelming easier to challenge and conquer.

As we all know, FromSoftware is known for its challenging boss fights like Artorias, Nameless King, and Orphan of Kos, but the latest DLC is even more challenging, and the terrifying difficulty has refused mountains rookies and gain much complaints among fans.

Therefore, here comes the chance for those medium players who are terrified by its horrible challenge difficulty, and if you are interested in fighting strangers, patch 1.14 also has provided some PvP and general balance adjustments for you.

However, most players are not satisfied with the adjustment of the difficulty of the final boss challenge, but are more annoyed because they think it is a betrayal of the original intention of the game.

The Details Of Update 1.14 

The latest update has made some changes to PvP-exclusive balance adjustments in the aspects of equipment and skills. When fighting with other players, the damage that Backhand Blades, Spears, and Pata deal will be decreased. And headshot damage animation will not appear when using Spread Crossbow to attack another players as well.

Here are some major updates and bug fixes for your reference:

• Adjusted the action pattern and attack moves when the battle kicks off.
• Decreased the damage of some attacks.
• Decreased stamina damage of some attacks.
• Decreased the attack range of some non-weapon-based attacks.
• Enhanced the visibility of some attack effects.

As to a nightmare for many players to deal with, Promised Consort Radahn’s combat capabilities have also been nerfed significantly. And noticeably enhance the performance of some specific equipments like swords and spells which has disappointed players in the previous battles. Now comes the chance to embrace those Elden Ring Items to enhance your strength.

And boss Rellana may be the biggest winner of this update, whose complete suite of equipment has appropriately been buffed to the moon.

The Weakened Promised Consort Radahn Has Invited Complaints

Promised Consort Radahn has been a nightmare for many players in the first stage, not to mention the addition of Miquella in the later phrase. This directly makes normal battles more crazy and difficult. 

But as the hardest boss to deal with in the entire game, many players would rather fail in battle after battle than see Radahn weakened, because this would make the challenge meaningless, which contributes to the oldest argument about Souls games in existence.

This complaint is mainly concentrated among those Souls veterans, who believe in the principle of continuing to challenge and become worthy after repeated failures. 

According to the feedback of a player, as a Souls veteran with more than ten years of experience, he could almost always kill those powerful bosses with one hit in the early journey of DLC with the help of a well-optimized bleed build whose level is more than 400. 

He took invading other players as fun and said he couldn’t remember the last time he failed. Then it was such a powerful player who was beaten and fled by this boss when he came up against the reborn Radahn at the very end. Although indulging in endless depression and loss at the beginning, he was finally inspired to make enough preparation for claiming a victory next time, such as to collect some of Scadutree Fragments.

In the process of careful planning for a normal battle, he got endless satisfaction. However, this satisfaction is deprived by the weaken of Radahn. This made the battle lose its original meaning. This view is supported by most game fans.

The Significance To Make Preparation For Fighting Last Boss

In addition to the challenge significance mentioned above, it is also necessary to consider the setting of the entire game. It is designed to collect more Scadutree Fragments scattered all over the map to help defeat the ultimate boss. 

Because this increases your exploration journey, and you will get to know what’s happened to Miquella and why Shadowlands are designed like this. So many revelations hide in DLC are waiting for you to disclose and many of them are jaw-dropping.

Along the way to discover Scadutree Fragments, St. Trina's quest and the unbelievable story that happened in Cathedral of Manus Metyr will be revealed, the truth about Mohg be disclosed, and Marika’s childhood village be found. These fascinating stories and settings are also the meaning of the normal game, not just simply defeating a boss.

Finally, when Scadutree Fragments have reached its perfect states, and burden the plea of ​​St. Trina’s with a new Katana in your hands, it is the death of Promised Consort Radahn.

Because many players think that this weakening betrays the original intention of the game, because players will most likely skip the step of collecting Scadutree Fragments and kill the last boss directly, and also miss the very exciting plot in the journey.

The above is about the weakening of Promised Consort Radahn and the discussion caused by it. And you can enter IGGM discord to get more updated news of the game together with gifts that will be distributed in Giveaway channel. Thank you for reading.

The most attractive items in Elden Ring are the armor and sets scattered around, which are essential for players who want to defeat powerful enemies. Many armors are equipped with unique defensive properties, which are effective against various elemental attacks and different types of damage. Read this guide to learn about the value and unique characteristics of these armors.

10. Divine Beast Head

Divine Beast Head is the head of divine beast dancing lion that players must fight in Belurat Tower. This mask provides players with significant strength and dexterity increases, while also enhancing storm-related skills. Specifically, the player’s strength and dexterity are increased by 4 points each, making Divine Beast Head mask one of the most significant armors in the game. However, to balance this tremendous advantage, the helmet also weakens the effect of flasks and affects the player’s concentration.

9. Royal Remains Set

Royal Remains Set is made of decayed and rusted metal. After wearing this armor set, the player will look like a living undead skeleton. This armor provides the player with a passive healing over time effect, which is a unique feature for an armor set. It is also great for those who are not too keen on managing health potions in combat.

8. Twinsage Glintstone Crown

Twinsage Glintstone Crown is a tremendous boost to all mage builds. The crown makes the player look like two large stone heads fused together at the ears. The helmet increases the player’s intellect by 6 points, allowing many players to easily meet their spell and weapon requirements after equipping the helmet. However, wearing the helmet also comes at the cost of the player’s maximum HP and stamina, which are reduced by 9% respectively. For many mages, the benefits of this armor outweigh its disadvantages.

7. Mushroom Crown

Tailored to the theme of rot and decay, Mushroom Crown is perfect for any scarlet rot or poison-based build. After inflicting a scarlet rot or poison status nearby, this helmet greatly enhances all damage. The damage boost applies 10% to all instances of damage for approximately 20 seconds. This buff can also stack with other poison-related buffs.

6. Black Knife Armor

Black Knife Armor is adorned with a unique set of pearlescent scales, with a translucent cape covering the chest plate. This set of armor provides the wearer with complete stealth, allowing them to fulfill their dream of being an assassin in Lands Between. Players can get close to their enemies without alerting them.

5. Rakshasa Set

Rakshasa Set is stained with blood, reeking of bloodshed and carnage. This set of armor provides the wearer with 8% overall damage boost. This is a significant boost, as it applies to all damage dealt by the player wearing it. However, the armor also effectively makes the player take the same percentage of damage.

4. High Priest Hat

High Priest Hat is a very valuable piece of armor that many people may overlook. Obtained after completing Count Ymir questline in Cathedral of Manus Metyr, this helmet increases the intellect and arcane stats by 1 each. While this isn't the biggest boost in the game, it is free. It is one of the few Elden Ring Items in the game that gives a free dual stat boost.

3. Silver Tear Helmet

Silver Tear Helmet is one of the biggest and most valuable stat boosters in the game. This mask features a unique design of a liquid metal teardrop on the player’s face. This helm maximizes the arcane stat, boosting it by a massive 8 points. However, this tremendous advantage also comes with a corresponding disadvantage. Equipping this mask will reduce physical damage output. But for any player who wants to create the most powerful arcane builds, this mask is a good choice.

2. Imp Heads

Imp Heads are one of the most common enemy types in Catacombs, usually appearing in conjunction with Skeletons. Defeating these enemies can yield some valuable rewards. Each imp type has its own weapon and signature helmet, and each imp has a chance to drop its own unique helmet that provides different stat buffs to the player. However, some helmets have a drop chance of only 0.5%. After equipping these helmets, you will get a nice 2-point stat boost to intellect, strength, dexterity, and even endurance.

1. Guardian Garb

Guardian Garb is worn by enemy guardians in Minor Erdtree. Any player who equips this chest armor will receive increased healing from flasks of crimson tears. Healing from a flask of sacred tears can be increased by 10%, and in some cases the player can even receive additional healing. However, this armor will reduce the player’s overall fire resistance.

These armors not only help players gain an advantage in combat, but can also be selected according to different combat styles and needs. Whether pursuing strength, intelligence, or dexterity, the armor in Elden Ring can provide powerful support for players. If you want to get some other armor, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord and stay active in discord group, where product giveaway information will be released frequently.

In Elden Ring’s most successful Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to date, there are dozens of new bosses. Some of them require you to find them with great effort, but some will quietly meet your challenge there, and Blackgaol Knight Boss is one of them.

Although Blackgaol Knight Boss is about the same size as Tarnished, it is difficult to defeat it. You need to develop some combat strategies and learn some combat skills before the battle. In addition, the rewards, for example, Greatsword of Solitude you get after defeating Blackgaol Knight Boss are also very generous, which is worth your time.

This guide will introduce you to the various moves you will encounter when fighting Blackgaol Knight Boss and its weaknesses, so that you can develop corresponding strategies for it. Without further ado, bring your weapons and come with me!

How To Find Blackgaol Knight Boss?

Blackgaol Knight Boss is located in Western Nameless Mausoleum in the game. You need to go through the area northwest of your spawn point in the DLC, where there are Gravebird-infested and gravestone-ridden.

Alternatively, you can go southwest of Three-Path Cross site of Grace and find a tunnel near the Tower Settlement Belurat. By riding your Torrent here, you can greatly increase your exploration speed.

Eventually you will reach the westernmost entrance of Mausoleum surrounded by cliffs. Once you enter, you will encounter a staircase leading to the bottom, and at the end of the stairs is the door to the arena where you fight the Blackgaol Knight Boss. Once you step in, the battle begins.

If you are unfortunate enough to die during the battle, you will not respawn at the original Site of Grace, but at the entrance to the arena. When you’re ready, you can re-enter the arena. 

But please note that if you fail the battle, you will not be rewarded with Elden Ring Runes. So before you challenge again, please make your build more powerful. The most important thing is survivability and damage ability.

Pre-Battle Preparation

With the location of Blackgaol Knight Boss solved, now you need to understand its weaknesses so that you can strengthen them. First, the armor of Blackgaol Knight Boss is very thick, so when choosing a build, you can directly abandon those that rely on melee attacks and choose some that rely on sorcery and incantations.

In addition, Blackgaol Knight Boss has a very high resistance to Bleed, Frostbite, or Scarlet Rot, so when choosing weapons, you should avoid damage from these elements. This enemy has no resistance to Magic and Lightning damage, so when choosing a class, you can choose those Sorcerers and Incantation-wielders.

In addition, if you don’t want to change builds or classes frequently, you can also directly use spells like Greatblade Phalanx, which can also cause a lot of magic damage to Blackgaol Knight Boss.

Blackgaol Knight Boss’s Moves

Now you need to know what moves Blackgaol Knight Boss will use, and how to counter them during the fight. These counter-attack strategies are just for reference, and it’s totally fine if you try to find a strategy that suits your own operation habits.

Greatsword Attacks

Blackgaol Knight Boss will attack you with its Greatsword, and each swing will have a four-hit animation. But whether it is used with one hand or two hands, you can jump to dodge it first, and then use a heavy attack on it. This will effectively prevent Blackgaol Knight from using a combination of attacks on you. If you fail to prevent it, you can hide in a corner for a while and attack again when you have a free time.

Storm Blast And Follow-Up

After swinging Greatsword, Blackgaol Knight Boss will raise it and then fire a wave of physical damage forward, and finally it will quickly dash forward and attack you. What you need to do is to dodge its physical attack wave first, and then retreat or dodge its sprint continuously.

Here you need to remind you that the final sprint attack of Blackgaol Knight Boss will not stop because of your dodge, because it can also be cast at a long distance. So inevitably, you will be injured in this move, and you may need to prepare some healing flasks for emergency use.

Crossbow Barrage

Besides Greatsword, Blackgaol Knight Boss will also use a crossbow to fight you. It will continue to shoot crossbows at you, and the frequency and speed of the shooting will become faster and faster over time. When you are at a medium or long distance from it, you can move along the side of the arena. Don’t roll or dodge, because the moment you stand up, you are likely to be hit by the crossbow and suffer a lot of damage.

Dash Slash

When Blackgaol Knight Boss uses a sword with both hands, it will also dash forward and launch a slash after attacking you several times. At this time, you can dodge to ensure your safety.

Battle Strategy

The above are just the counterattacks you need to do in front of a certain move. But before the battle, your battle strategy is also very important. For example, when Blackgaol Knight Boss is firing and reloading crossbows, it is very vulnerable, so you can attack it immediately at some medium distance.

Slowly walk to the boss at medium and long distances to avoid all the fast-firing crossbows. But it should be noted here that the avoidance mentioned here is walking forward, not just walking to the side, because this will make you fall into the barrage when you stand up.

Blackgaol Knight boss often attacks the player with weapon skills such as Blasphemous Blade, which will launch a wave of physical damage when it lowers Greatsword. It will always follow up with a charge, so be careful to avoid physical explosions and close-range attacks.

If you have trouble with any boss battle in the game, you can always go out and explore other areas to become stronger, and then come back and try again. This is the most effective strategy to defeat any boss in the game.

Blackgaol Knight Boss Rewards

After you successfully defeat Blackgaol Knight Boss in Western Nameless Mausoleum using the right strategy, you can get Greatsword of Solitude and Blackgaol Knight armor set. The armor set is a very defensive and stylish armor set. Greatsword of Solitude mentioned in the title is one of the most powerful weapons in the DLC. You can use it to replicate Blackgaol Knight Boss’s slam and charge combo in battles with other enemies.

In addition, Ash of War of Greatsword of Solitude is also very powerful, which can shoot a beam of physical damage forward. If operated properly, this beam is unavoidable for most enemies and will cause a lot of damage to them.

The above are some strategies and tips for defeating Blackgaol Knight Boss in Elden Ring DLC ​​and obtaining Greatsword of Solitude. I hope this guide helps you overcome it. If you have questions about the build in Elden Ring, you are welcome to ask questions in IGGM Discord. You will also have the opportunity to get some free runes on it. I wish you a happy game!

In Elden Ring, different weights of Armor are divided into different levels, and each level has a series of armors with unique functions. The advantage of Heavy armor is that it can provide high damage negation and resistance.

Players can choose to obtain many heavy armor sets, but not all heavier weight armor has better performance. Here are the heaviest armor sets you can consider when looking for solid protection.

11. Banished Knight Set

It is a heavy armor set known for its excellent defensive capabilities. It is moderately heavy, so players don’t need to invest too much stats in endurance to wear it. Although this set weighs less than Lionel’s set, it can provide higher physical damage negation.

Players in Elden Ring can drop fragments of this set and a certain number of Elden Ring Runes by defeating the extremely dangerous Banished Knights in the game multiple times.

10. General Radahn Set

Radahn’s unique appearance makes him leave a deep impression in the game. By wearing General Radahn’s gear, players can emulate him. General Radahn Set is not only excellent in terms of practicality, but also in terms of defense and appearance.

It has excellent durability and can effectively resist Hemorrhage and Frostbite. This armor set is slightly heavier than Banished Armor set and provides higher defense, but reduces some movement speed.

9. Gaius Set

Gaius Set is challenging to obtain. Players need to defeat Commander Gaius in DLC. Although Gaius Set is relatively light, it has excellent durability and defense, especially against Slash and Piercing attacks. Equipping this set requires some points in endurance and players need to fight a warrior.

8. Tree Sentinel Set

Many players have died fighting Tree Sentinels when exploring The Lands Between in the early game. Now players can obtain golden armor worn by Tree Sentinels. This golden armor has excellent physical and magical defense.

To obtain this armor, players need to successfully destroy three chariots in Auriza Hero’s Grave, which is definitely worth the effort.

7. Veteran’s Set

Veteran’s Set is highly favored by players for its excellent poise in its weight class. Veteran’s Set is worn by Commander Niall, the veteran soldier of Sol. Compared with other sets with similar appearances, Veteran’s Set has shown superior performance in many aspects.

6. Lionel’s Set

Lionel’s Set may not be everyone’s first choice based on its appearance. However, this set of equipment is worth much more than its appearance. Lionel’s Set shows extremely high poise, which can help players resist enemy attacks. Lionel’s Set is very suitable for players who like close combat. It is not only durable but also enhances the player’s combat advantage. In addition, Lionel’s Set has good magical defense.

5. Omen Set

Omen Set may look unpleasant, but it’s actually quite useful. It’s available after defeating Dung Eater in Subterrarean Shunning Grounds at Leyndall Royal Capital.

Omen Set increases the damage of both Omen Bairn and Regal Omen Bairn by 5%. But if players can look past its cosmetic flaws, it’s a very practical choice.

4. Solitude Set

Solitude Set is available after defeating Blackgaol Knight in the early stages of DLC. This armor set offers excellent defensive capabilities. It has the highest Focus resistance in the game, making it more effective against attacks that inflict sleep or madness. In addition, Solitude Set is also very stylish in terms of appearance.

3. Fire Prelate Set

Fire Prelate Set can be a lifesaver for players in some tough times. It has very good defensive stats, especially protection against fire. Fire Prelate Set also has excellent physical and magical damage negation properties. With these sturdy properties, players wearing Fire Prelate Set can gain a clear advantage against both gods and other players.

2. Verdigris Armor Set

Verdigris Armor Set raises the standard of armor in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to a new level, even surpassing Bull-Goat set to become one of the best choices for heavyweight armor in the game. With 100 poise and great defensive stats, it focuses mainly on enhancing immunity and robustness, and performs well in resisting slash attacks.

1. Bull Goat Set

Bull Goat set is one of the players’ excellent choices of defending against enemy attacks. However, it is also the heaviest armor in the game. With its excellent resistance to physical and magical damage, Bull Goat set creates an impenetrable line of defense between players and enemies. The set is adorned with a pair of massive horns and has a massive poise of 99.99, allowing it to withstand the most powerful attacks.

Bull Goat Set has the highest poise and physical defense properties of all the armor in the game. Although the player’s movement speed will be limited when wearing it, you will appreciate the protection this armor provides when facing the challenges in The Lands Between.

Although heavy armor will limit the player’s movement speed, the advantages they provide in terms of damage reduction and resistance are often worth this sacrifice. Therefore, choosing a heavy armor set that suits you will help players survive the treacherous environment of The Lands Between.

When the long-anticipated DLC of Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, was eventually released, it was not as well received as fans expected, but instead received a wave of negative reviews.

The most common criticism of Elden Ring DLC ​​is that the game is too difficult. Many players said that the bosses in the game are too powerful. Not only can players not predict their attack methods, but in some cases, even with heavy attacks that can cause huge damage values, they cannot cause significant damage to the bosses.

Although some of these comments are reasonable, if you have accumulated some gaming experience for a period, you will find that the difficulty of Elden Ring DLC ​​game is not as exaggerated as the previous online reviews. Moreover, the game also comes with amounts of tools can be employed by players, which makes it a far easier than before.

Although it may be a significant challenge for rookies of this type of game, Shadow of the Erdtree is actually no more difficult than most of FromSoftware’s other titles. This article will mention some analysis about it.

The Game Is Hard For Those Unprepared Players

Most of the bosses in Elden Ring are very aggressive and will use a series of attacks to hurt the player continuously. If the player is not prepared in advance and only dodges or attacks these tricky bosses in a hurry, it will be difficult for you to have a good gaming experience.

Another important reason is the absence of seriously overpowered weapons in the game. Although there are some amazing weapons which could be harvested by the player, their power is far from enough. Players are advised to collect some helpful items with powerful strength, and you can obtain them directly by devoting some Elden Ring Runes.

Scadutree Fragments Are Incredibly Important

Scadutree Fragments are a new mechanism introduced in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, aimed at giving players an easier game experience. They serve as unbelievably beneficial consumables, targeting to enhance both the damage players deal and those they can defend against.

For those players who do not realize the importance of Scadutree Fragments, they will miss a way to make this game journey easier, so it is inaccurate to say that the game is too difficult.

Moreover, Scadutree Fragments are not hard to discover. They can not divert the attention of players to alleviate the tense situation of the battle, but also push the progression of the game forward. In Elden Ring DLC ​​1.12.2 calibration update, players only need to collect 7 Scadutree Fragments to deal 150% damage, and will suffer less damage when fighting those overwhelming bosses.

Patience Is Required In The Game

Elden Ring DLC ​​has prepared everything for players in order to complete the game. Once again, what players need to prepare is patience and powerful builds. In the game, there is only meaning when there is a challenge. Although those tough bosses are aggressive and their attack patterns are more difficult to interpret, it is also a very interesting thing to win the game through the player’s own efforts.

If you encounter any difficulties in the game, welcome to enter IGGM discord to participate in the discussion. There is also a Giveaway channel, or gifts are given to everyone from time to time. For example, a lottery will be held on September 6th, and 20 players will be randomly selected to give 1,000M Runes. Doesn’t it sound particularly attractive? Then join it quickly.

The above are some responses to the negative reviews of its difficulty related to Elden Ring DLC. Thanks for reading.

There are some dungeons in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree that have proved to be a real challenge for many players. In these cases, players are not only frustrated by the bosses themselves but also by the cleverly designed enemy groups or unique game mechanics that combine to create a rare and severe test.

Some areas in Shadow of the Erdtree stand out for their unsettling design, which creates a strong sense of unease. These areas cleverly use some familiar fantasy elements to lure players in and then give them a series of terrifying surprises that will make them want to escape to the more peaceful Site of Grace.

This guide will inspect the seven most frustrating dungeons and field areas in Shadow of the Erdtree.

7. Electric Sheep Plateau

These seemingly docile enemies appear harmless when watching from a distance, but when the player’s back is turned, they will launch a series of cunning rolling attacks to directly ram the player. Although the sheep-like enemies deal limited damage individually, they are much more threatening when they are in groups.

When players enter Shadow of the Erdtree, they will encounter a golden sheep, and a giant sheep, both located in Cliffroad Terminus Site of Grace near the starting area of ​​DLC. The giant sheep’s presence easily attracts the player’s attention and makes them ready to dodge potential attacks.

The giant sheep brings a new lightning attack, which players need to dodge with little warning. After defeating it, there is a chance to get Elden Ring Runes as a reward.

6. Belurat Well Depths

Poison swamps have been added to almost every game of FromSoftware development team, and they have become as iconic as Moonlight Greatsword. In Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, players will encounter the first poison swamp below Belurat, which is the first major dungeon players will encounter.

This area is filled with thick poisonous muck, and players have to shuttle between small outcroppings of rubble to avoid contact with these poisons. These poison swamps seem safe to pass from a distance, but they are actually very dangerous. This area is usually full of Man-Flies, as well as an Ulcerated Tree Spirit.

5. Ruined Forge Lava Intake

Ruined Forges is a new type of dungeons that isn’t particularly popular with players. The first time you encounter a Ruined Forge Lava Intake, it immediately greets you with its lava floor. But fortunately, you don’t need to traverse lava when exploring these Ruined Forges.

The adventure begins with encounters with stone golems, which can only be effectively damaged by attacking them from behind. In addition, there are magma slimes lurking on the ceiling, ready to drop down or ambush you if you enter unsuspectingly, so players often need to carefully navigate through narrow passages.

4. Stone Coffin Fissure

A large, fog-shrouded hole in the ground, lined with giant coffins that seem to be carved out of the stone walls, is Stone Coffin Fissure, a daunting scene for players. The descent itself is fairly easy with the help of Torrent’s double jump. But it’s inherently scary, and what lurks at the bottom is even worse.

Stone Coffin Fissure is actually sealed at the start of DLC, as if to warn players that they’re not ready for what’s inside. This challenge requires players to jump from high places and pass through Bloodfiends and Stone Caterpillars. Putrescent Knight lurks at the end, guarding St. Trina’s deadly secret.

3. Darklight Catacombs

Elden Ring emphasizes the cyclical nature of dungeons by reusing elements such as short staircases, white-flame braziers, and vaulted double doorways. Players might confidently walk into Darklight Catacombs in Scadu Altus, pry open the door, activate Site of Grace, and then find that the lights are all out after.

Most of Darklight Catacombs require traversing in almost complete darkness, which can cause a lot of confusion around. Players can relight the lights by finding levers hidden throughout Darklight Catacombs. Lanterns can also help illuminate the immediate area, but gargoyles often lurk out of sight until their fireballs hurtle by.

2. Rauh

Although players can see Rauh as early as Gravesite Plain, you have to travel through most of Shadow Keep to actually enter it. Once you arrive, the idyllic image of a mountaintop ruin is immediately shattered. Rauh is infested with bugs, including giant scorpions swarming through the once-hallowed halls, and Romina, Saint of the Bud, who waits in the deepest sanctum.

1. Finger Ruins Of Rhia

In Dark Souls, Bells of Awakening are usually sounded by striking a bronze instrument. In this scene, however, the sound of the bells comes from a different source. Rather than coming from a traditional percussion instrument, it comes from a uniquely designed stone device. This device consists of another stone finger, its surface riddled with holes, and it is hung upside down. To make sounds, Tarnished needs to blow air with his mouth instead of tapping as before.

These dungeons and wild areas are not just part of the game, they are also a test of the player’s skills, courage and determination. As players gradually unlock and conquer these areas, you will not only get satisfaction but also get a deeper experience in the game. To make it easier to complete these activities, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, which will release product giveaway information from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group.

Elden Ring does not actually explain the game to players specifically, but only makes an introduction of a simple set of explanation and the vague direction they’re supposed to head in without any details being provided. This gives players a lot of freedom to play the game in their own way and at their own pace and explore the mysteries hidden in it without being restricted.

Many players said that they enjoyed this mode and often immersed themselves in it. However, due to the lack of detailed explanations, many players did not know the more nuanced mechanics.

Although players can experience the game at their own pace, getting known as obscure mechanics could offer you more fresh game experience, and gain an advantage over other players. Now let’s take a closer look at these 5 obscure mechanics.

5. Buff Stacking

The game does not explain the specific use of buffs. Based on their gaming experience, many players believe that different buffs can be combined which is not entirely correct. Because only some buffs can be combined with others to enhance performance.

There are five varieties of buffs in the game: aura, body, weapon, regeneration, and unique, separately. Under the normal circumstance, Tarnished can only own one buff from each category (exclude unique buffs, which can stack with one another without limitation). Once players establish the combination of buffs they require, the difficulty of the game will plummet.

4. Counter Attacking

There are many types of attacks in Elden Ring, such as simple attacks, vigorous attacks, powerful weapon skills, and guard counters. However, counter-attack is not being described in detail. In fact, if the player attacks the enemy with counter-attack, the damage output will be greater than usual. Combing with Spear Talisman, which will enhance the degree of damage, the damage output of counter-attack will increase by 45%.

There are two conditions for an attack to be viewed as a counter-attack. In the first place, the player must employ a weapon that deals with piercing damage. Secondly, Tarnished have to attack an enemy while they are in the middle of an attack animation.

3. Feinting

Feinting is one of the obscure mechanics that being barely known. Maybe many players don’t know the existence of this mechanism, or even if they know about it, they have never actually used.

Feinting provides another type of attack to the player’s arsenal, enlarging the possibilities and chance of attack, and also creating the false impression of opponents in PvP. Considering the fact that multitude of people do not figure out the function of it, feints offer much help in the aspect of catching other players off-guard.

2. Hyper Armor

The amount of hits Tarnished can bear before flinching is an important thing for players to pay attention to. The result is calculated by combining the poise of all armor pieces that they are currently wearing. Talismans also have a certain impact on the result. But there is another number that needs to be counted.

That number is Hyper Armor itself. Each attack that a player performs will offer them a certain amount of Hyper Armor, serving as an additional poise on top of what their armor is that they already own. Under normal circumstances, the size and weight of the weapon also have a bearing on Hyper Armor.

For example, larger weapons have Hyper Armor on most attacks, but some smaller weapons only have Hyper Armor on some attacks. You can get some weapons equipped with more Hyper Armor by devoting some Elden Ring Runes. By the way, charged attacks and some weapon skills will have more Hyper Armor.

1. I-Frames

I-Frames are a mechanism that helps players dodge. If there are some I-Frames, the player will become invincible during the dodge process. Since Fast rolls have more I-Frames than Medium rolls, dodging attacks will become more simple and easy. In a similar way, heavy rolls own fewer I-Frames than both Medium and Fast rolls, making it much more difficult to dodge attacks in the situation of being encumbered.

However, what many people do not master is that there are other methods to embrace I-Frames in Elden Ring. Mounting and dismounting Torrent while standing gives the player I-Frames while lasting for a short period. In addition, the following weapon skills also promise players I-Frames:

• Ash of War: Quickstep
• Ash of War: Bloodhound’s Step
• Ash of War: Vow of the Indomitable
• Ash of War: Raptor of the Mists
• Bloodhound’s Finesse Skill
• Dynast’s Finesse Skill
