Elden Ring

Elden Ring players that are interested in equipping the Uchigatana can learn the location of that katana in this short guide.

Players must now pass through yet another corridor on the left to reach a corpse that is hanging off a ledge. At the top of these stairs, fans should turn to the left and pass through a narrow corridor that is on the left side. Fans that are on the hunt for the Uchigatana in Elden Ring should turn their attention to the north side of Limgrave, the game's very first area.

As noted by Wario64, Elden Ring is verified to run on Steam Deck. "Verified" is one of three possible support classifications available on Steam Deck, and is the most robust category of support. The first ones are set to ship out on February 28. Elden Ring is available now, but there's another huge video game release on the horizon as well.

Valve Corporation confirms Elden Ring and other FromSoftware titles are now verified on its upcoming handheld gaming device, Steam Deck.

A section of the gaming community is not convinced of the hardware capabilities of the Steam Deck, specifically its battery life. Elden Ring, in particular, was a much-awaited title by fantasy games fans because of the collaboration of two immensely renowned personalities. The unknown titles will have a question mark icon, and the playable ones will have a yellow marker.

Elden Ring is already having a record-breaking Steam launch.

Most of Steam’s biggest games – like PUBG, Dota 2, or CS:GO – are either inexpensive or free-to-play. The Elden Ring release time has arrived, and players are already pouring in by the bucket full. Elden Ring reached a concurrent PC player count of 616,891 one hour after launch, as SteamDB shows, and that number continues to rise.

“Elden Ring,” FromSoftware's latest and most anticipated video game, is a massive, boss-hunting adventure that masterfully incorporates mechanics from its previous titles to tell a story that's unique, yet equally enjoyable to Soulsborne veterans.

My only concern is its player-versus-player feature, which I did not experience in my pre-release playthrough of the game. (And if you’re too frustrated, you have the option of an easy mode … *cough* magic *cough*). But it’s possibly the most challenging because of the range of its enemies. The abundance of foes and the freedom to fight or flee at a moment’s notice gives players a truly open world experience. And as for the learning curve that comes with all FromSoftware games, Elden Ring could be considered the most difficult but also most forgiving. The vegetation of small villages is painted with warm colors of autumn.

The Lands Between can be daunting, so here's some advice to help you get your bearings in From Software's massive new game.

The second is in breaking it to pieces to suit your own comfort and needs, whatever that might mean. If an area is too tough for you at the moment, you’re right by default; give or take some classic From Software fan bloodymindedness (something that I am, personally, regrettably prone to—y’all should have seen some of my Sekiro death spirals), there’s almost nothing stopping you from backing away from a nasty situation and heading somewhere else to push at some other edge of the map. But it’s also true in the micro, with the focus on the customizability of the combat experience, something Elden Ring has doubled down on with its new summoning mechanics. But if you need a quick, cheap rule for progression, one thing you can do is look to the Smithing Stones. These are the items you use to upgrade your weaponry at a blacksmith—by the way, pick a weapon and upgrade it whenever you can, later swords won’t be better, just different, and you’ll get a lot of your damage output from a properly upgraded main weapon—and they follow a very simple naming convention, starting with Smithing Stone [1] and ascending from there. But it’s massively preferable to hoarding your precious Rune Arcs in your inventory where they can’t do any good, just because the shop skeletons only sell 3 of the damn things, total, and they all cost 5,000 runes a pop. Now, is it fun to find a rat spawning nest and grind it a few times in order to build up a supply? But you can only reap these benefits through the use of a Rune Arc, a rare and pricey item whose buff expires any time you die. Second, most churches tend to have a Sacred Tear on their altar—the item that increases the healing power of that Flask Of Crimson Tears you’ve been gulping down to keep yourself alive all game. That being said, starting out in Elden Ring can be a daunting prospect, and not just because there’s a bastard riding around right outside the tutorial dungeon with a spear twice the size of your player character. Sure, that Site of Grace is pointing you towards its next glowing cousin, but there’s often a horde of skeletons or wolves or those goddamn bat things lurking in the way, if not an actual, no-fooling mountain obstructing your path. Luckily, the game provides players with maps of each region—provided you can find them, which should probably be your first priority when entering a new region. To help alleviate that early stress, I’ve jotted down a few things I would have been happy to know when I was first starting my 50-hours-and-counting with the game.
