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

If you are a loyal fan of Elden Ring, you can log in to IGGM discord. There will be some lucky draws in Giveaway channel, and you can also get more real-time information about the game.

The above is about sharing some little-known but useful mechanisms in Elden Ring. I hope it can give some inspiration for you.

Souls games like Elden Ring have always had fantasy elements that are one of the biggest highlights of the game. In this popular game, you can play various characters, such as Mages, Knights, Samurai, and more.

In addition, you can also use some hybrid classes, such as Paladin and Spellblade, which are mostly built around two or more attack attributes. When talking about Paladin, most players may think of him using his power to support or heal his allies. But in fact, he also has very powerful offensive abilities.

This guide will help you choose the best items for your Paladin build in two aspects: armor and weapons. Depending on your gaming style and usage habits, you can choose the most useful ones.

Best Armors

When choosing Armors in Elden Ring, you need to consider not only the defensive stats of Armors but also the fashion, because this best represents the theme of the entire build. Paladin is introduced as a glorified holy knight, so you should be able to find several armor sets that match him in Shadow of the Erdtree.

Solitude Set

This is a new armor set added in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. It has become a new favorite among players because it is very similar to Guts’ armor in the previous base game. Although this armor set looks very grim, it is indeed the most suitable for knight-like builds.

Blackflame Monk Set

Besides Grim Armor Set, another armor set that can be selected for Paladin Build is Blackflame Monk Set. In this dark and eerie Land of Shadow, the dark white and hooded Blackflame Monk Set will stand out more.

But collecting Blackflame Monk Set is not a straightforward task, because there are only a few places where Blackflame Monks can be found, and even after you defeat him, the chance of dropping the parts in the set is very low. Even if you don’t get a full set of armor, don’t be discouraged. You will still get a lot of Elden Ring Runes.

Haligtree Knight Set

Gold is the symbol of Holy, whether in the base game of Elden Ring or in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The helmet in Haligtree Knight Set has a light golden hue, and there is a golden embroidery of Miquella’s Haligtree on the chest armor. This matches the description of the holy knight.

Besides this appearance that is very suitable for Paladin Build, the entire armor set can also increase your Faith by 2 points. Don’t underestimate this number, it may make you burst out with powerful power in battle!

Leyndell Knight Set

The design of this set of armor is actually very similar to Haligtree Knight Set, but the golden hue will be a little stronger, which also means that the color of Holy will be stronger.

Because it was originally designed to protect the knights who defended Royal Capital Leyndell, and Leyndell was always bathed in golden light at the foot of the Erdtree, Leyndell Knight Set would be more suitable for such a very powerful knight than Haligtree Knight Set.

Tree Sentinel Set

In Elden Ring, you will see Tree Sentinels everywhere, and they are also wearing golden armor. It is for this reason that Tree Sentinel Set has become the easiest armor set to get in Paladin Build.

The posture of Tree Sentinel Set is very elegant, and its golden appearance matches the holy Erdtree incantations very well. If you use it in Land of Shadow, it may make your Paladin Build more eye-catching.

In addition to the above armor sets, you can also choose other ones according to the habits of the used builds, such as Royal Knight Set, Malformed Dragon Set, Crucible Axe Set, and Crucible Tree Set. But it should be noted that you need to replace the helmet in Malformed Dragon Set.

Best Weapons

Elden Ring DLC ​​also provides you with a lot of Holy weapons that can deal Holy damage to supplement the Paladin Build. In addition, you can also use some non-unique weapons infused with Ash of War to adapt this Strength-Faith build.

Miquellan Knight’s Sword / Inseparable Sword

Although Miquellan Knight’s Sword is a straight sword, both weapons have the same Ash of War, called Sacred Blade. After you have it, when you use both weapons, you will release the skill of firing holy projectiles.

If you think these two weapons are too difficult to obtain, or the required attributes are too difficult, then you can directly get Ash of War Sacred Blade from Limgrave using Elden Ring Runes, which can be infused into any type of weapon.

Golden Order Greatsword

It is one of the few legendary armaments in the entire Elden Ring, forged by the second Elden Lord Radagon. This weapon is also a symbol of the tenets of Golden Order, so from this you should know that it also has the nature of Holy and is the best weapon for Paladin Build.

But you may need to pay attention to it. Its Ash of War Establish Order is not very effective. So if you focus on the theme of the build rather than the damage in your item selection, then you can add Golden Order Greatsword to your options.

Euporia

This is a rare legendary twinblade found in Shadow of the Erdtree, and one of the most powerful Holy weapons in the DLC. Its unique skill, Euporia Vortex, is comparable to Comet Azur Spell, but it fires a holy beam instead of a beam of magic.

Pretty tempting, isn’t it? But if you want to get Euporia, you’ll have to be prepared, as it’s located in the last area of ​​Elden Ring DLC, so don’t rush to put it in your picks.

Ordovis’s Greatsword

This weapon has the standard moves of a Claymore greatsword, but its major strength lies in its skill, Ordovis’s Vortex. It’s the most powerful weapon in Strength-Faith builds like Paladin Build, as Faith can provide it with a very considerable AR boost, and Strength can bring you more bonus benefits.

If you’ve considered Crucible Axe Set when choosing your weapon, why not swap it out for Ordovis’ Greatsword? They both do about the same amount of damage, but Ordovis’ Greatsword gives you more bang for your buck!

These are some of the best choices for weapons and armor in Paladin Build. I hope it helps!

When it comes to the lore in the game, it is estimated that no other game can have as many complex and profound lore and secrets as Elden Ring, which consists of one feature of the game. Elden Ring provides amounts of theories and backstories as the material to discuss, such as the true form of Mohg’s weapon.

Elden Ring developers are always accustomed to hide mysterious elements and horrible details when designing characters. This enhances the eerie atmosphere of the game. The complex weapon design in the game also attracts players’ enthusiastic curiosity. Some players even spend hundreds of hours exploring the details of some weapons and characters.

For example, there are still some players exploring the reason why Roundtable Hold burns, how overwhelming Morgott really is, as well as that Marika possibly served herself as food to a snake.

Now, some details about Mohg’s Sacred Spear have been excavated by players, and then they have discovered its unusualness. For example, some players think that the spear was molten and can not be viewed as a human form as before. Let’s take a look at the terrifying details of Mohg’s Sacred Spear.

The Description Of Mohg And His Sacred Spear

Here comes the detailed description of Mohg. Mohg, Lord of Blood, defines as a Demigod Boss within Elden Ring base game, who uses a trident-like spear to perform ferocious attacks. If you encounter him in the game and find him tricky to deal with, it is recommended to devote some Elden Ring Runes to refine your builds or get more powerful weapons.

Mohg is an optional boss in the base game resides in Mohgwyn Palace, mainly performing Bloodflame magic. Players must defeat Mohg to unlock Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Based on the still life, this spear seems to be covered in tiny bodies. According to a post by a player on Reddit, this trident spear is obviously layered with faceless, humanoid forms that seem to be sucked into the blade and mixed together, bearing the pattern like a dripping matter.

In the game, the description of this spear is roughly as follows: Trident of Mohg, Lord of Blood. A sacred spear that will come as a symbol of his dynasty.

Players Astonished By Mohg’s Sacred Spear

Some time ago, there was no discussion about the horror of this spear. Although there was a discussion about what Mohg’s Sacred Spear was covered with, it was considered being melted wax running down the blades. Now, as more horrific details are excavated, the genuine horror of Mohg’s Sacred Spear is gradually discovered.

According to player feedback, Mohg’s Sacred Spear is as terrifying as Mohg, who bears a ghastly face of horns accompanied by a bulky stature. Moreover, his intricate robes together with grand pauldron also define him.

According to the discovery of a Reddit user, Mohg’s Sacred Spear is inundated by small nude bodies. This view shocked many players. Some people also compared it to Enir Ilim, the symbol of power.

Currently, there are very limited resources about the legend of Mohg’s Sacred Spear. Although it has only been noticed now, it has undoubtedly aroused the players’ enthusiastic curiosity and imagination. It is precisely such countless details that have created such a great game.

The above is the sharing of the horror details of Mohg’s Sacred Spear that has sparked heated discussions recently. If you have ever fought against Mohg’ in the game, I believe you will also be very interested in this detail.
