Elden Ring

The fan behind Sekiro's co-op mod is also making one for Elden Ring and a public beta is coming very soon.

The aim behind the mod is to remove all multiplayer boundaries and allow for connections to persist even after a player dies. The fan behind Sekiro’s co-op mod is also making one for Elden Ring and a public beta is coming very soon. For anyone who wants to properly explore The Lands Between with another player, you’ll be pleased to know that a true co-op experience is coming to the game very soon.

A fresh datamine suggests Elden Ring almost included a weapon and armor durability system, which was scrapped before launch.

In the third entry in the series, weapons have such high durability, degrade so slowly, and are reset so often that the feature is more of a forgetful add-on than an essential gameplay mechanic. Some Dark Souls players found the system an aggravating slog that prevented them from using their favorite weapon when they wanted it most. Elden Ring doesn't include a weapon and armor durability system, with your gear remaining effective for as long as you have it.

An Elden Ring player makes a surprising and potentially valuable discovery when they accidentally glitch through an impassable gate.

It may have only happened due to a perfect storm of variables, which could include the menus, assets loading in, damage from the Omen, walking backward, and other possibilities combining into a frame-perfect impossibility. In the video, the Elden Ring player is shown exploring the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, a dungeon below Lleyndel full of Omen enemies, sewers, and more. The player later confirmed they tried it again and weren't able to replicate the bug.

It may not be Bloodborne 2, but one secret location in The Lands Between comes close.

If this particular Iron Virgin catches and kills you in this way, it transports you all the way to a mysterious magma-filled location in Volcano Manor where you’re trapped until you can find a Site of Grace – or also discover that it’s connected to Prison Town. The beauty of Elden Ring is that while intimidatingly vast there is always something fascinating to discover. However, the way you find the secret hidden passage down below the manor, before reaching a small church and slowly opening its double doors, also reminds me of the way hunters explore Yharnam’s Cathedral Ward... only to discover that Old Yharnam lies just beneath it. That place turned out to be Caelid, a complete hellscape where skulls form on cliff faces, where the centre of the map is just one big toxic swamp, and where you’re chased mercilessly by giant dogs and crows. But, even if you did reach the manor and befriend the enigmatic Lady Tanith (who basically turns you into Agent 47, handing you letters identifying NPC targets for you to invade and assassinate), you probably wouldn’t know that there’s actually a whole town hiding beneath it, out of sight. But there’s another, more notable tribute to Bloodborne in Elden Ring. In typical Miyazaki fashion, you’ll very likely miss the first time you play throught the game.

The Elden Ring Seamless Coop mod will remove all multiplayer boundaries and allow for connections to persist after death. Game progression is also shared.

For more information on Elden Ring, the Elden Ring Seamless Coop mod, and everything in between, stay tuned to TechRaptor. Other mods can be used if all players have them installed and active, so if only you have a randomiser it will only work for you. For those that are worrying: no, you won't be banned, as the mod doesn't connect to FromSoftware's online services.

These point to a feature seen in Dark Souls and Bloodborne, weapon degradation. It's a mechanic that prevents players from overusing powerful weapons during ...

Finally, the Lands Between isn't just about adventure and killing - there's also fashion to consider. In other Elden Ring news, one fan managed to piece together the pantheon's family tree. Instead, it's almost always possible for you to simply teleport to the Roundtable Hold to visit the blacksmith, so there's really no point in adding weapon durability.

One crafty Elden Ring player uses an oft-overlooked item to turn the tables on an unsuspecting Night's Cavalry boss in Caelid.

The experience of adventuring through Caelid for the first time is a grueling one, and, as demonstrated by one unfortunate Reddit user, the monstrous dogs contribute greatly to the area’s challenge. While some players prefer the thrill of engaging an over-leveled enemy, others prefer to cultivate more creative approaches to certain encounters, and the Bewitching Branch is instrumental in these endeavors. With the player’s help, the monstrous dogs cut down the foe in less than a minute.

Of course, there are those trying to 100 percent the game and help us noobs uncover all the secrets The Lands Between has to offer, but this week's edition is ...

You have to figure out who's who, how everyone's related, why that one dude is still a baby, and who tried to kill who. The Banished Knight's Greatsword and Claymore stood in for the iconic steel and silver swords respectively. "It was brought up that there was a significant variation between submissions, some with many great photos of not as great outfits while a couple really good sets only had a single basic photo." But thanks to YouTuber Garden of Eyes – and a whole bunch of mods – we've gotten a glimpse at how it would look. Additionally, the demigods had increased movement area and were scaled to NG +7. Even though they all perished in the first round, victory went to Mohg thanks to his Nihil Bleed attack which made him the last to succumb. Today, we’re taking a look at some of the creations that fans have made – be they mods, events, or just cool fights.

For those who aren't inclined to mod their games, or those who don't game on PC, there'll also be a collection of Twitch streams with a set of bug-hunting alpha ...

All of these restrictions exist for sensible game balance reasons, as the developers at FromSoftware likely want there to be some challenge still present when summoning help. This is in addition to Elden Ring’s strict co-op boundaries, which limit the summoning of cooperative partners to certain areas and automatically dismisses them when the nearby boss or den of enemies is cleared out. The news comes from LukeYui’s YouTube channel, in the form of a groovy new video showing off what folks can expect should they take the mod for a whirl when it becomes available for public beta testing Friday, May 27.

One Elden Ring player boasts the impressive feat of completing Ranni's questline 50 times and obtaining that many Dark Moon Greatswords.

Ranni is one of the most characters in the game, after all. It has quite the legacy that pairs well with the themes and complexities of Ranni’s quest. Many know that this is one of the game’s longest, most complicated questlines, and to do it without a guide is pure luck.

Developed by FromSoftware, "Elden Ring" has been a hit with critics and gamers alike with many considering it a revelation in open-world game design and user ...

Fans of the series seem to also think that "Elden Ring" is far from done. "Theoretically speaking, Martin has perhaps done enough work in the world-building for a sequel to be viable, but that's still questionable." but in a different place, different timeline, different story about a ring that happens to be Elden." To commemorate "Elden Ring" surpassing 12 million copies sold worldwide, FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco published a press release expressing gratitude for the success of "Elden Ring." "It's astonishing to see just how many people have been playing 'Elden Ring'," FromSoftware president and game director Hidetaka Miyazaki said. "Elden Ring" is no different and is created in virtually the same vein as its predecessors. Prior to the massive success of "Elden Ring", FromSoftware had made a name for itself with the " Souls" series, a third-person RPG franchise also known for its difficulty and emphasis on strategic combat.

Blaidd's voice actor agrees the half-wolf is a very good boy and can be a naughty one as well.

Although most of the tweets Arthur read were as innocuous as a horny Twitter post could be for a 2D video game character, one tweet proved to be too much for even this adventurous-seeming voice actor to read aloud. While Arthur’s embarrassment at reading comments about Blaidd being “thicc and hot” occupy its opening minutes, things took a turn for the better in the video’s latter half. Today fans of Elden Ring’s breakout furry husband Blaidd the Half-Wolf are eating well, as his voice actor not only read y’alls’ terminally down-bad tweets for the NPC wolfman, but leaned into them with gusto.

Elden Ring builds of Doctor Strange and Obi-Wan Kenobi fight to decide which is the dominant pop culture franchise this month, Marvel or Star Wars.

So, who wins between Star Wars and Marvel? Watch ’til the end to find out. Doctor Strange, of course, had elegant robes, various powerful Elden Ring spells and incantations, and an equally stylish beard, so both players were pretty equally matched. You can see the full fight below.

In a moment straight out of Looney Tunes, a player captures the moment a ladder camper falls to their death while attempting to knock the player off.

Instead, as opposed to an extremely patient Elden Ring rune farming hunter, the host managed to turn themselves into a meme straight out of Looney Tunes. However, it didn't seem like the host was ready to make contact with dat_bass2 only to phase through their body and end up falling off themselves; first of all, it makes no sense, and secondly, the ladder should have stopped the host from flying off. That ladder player was Reddit user dat_bass2, who took the video as well as offering a title of advice: do not use an attack that lunges forward while aimed at a ladder.

If fans ever wondered who would win in a fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Doctor Strange, Elden Ring's PvP with creative players answers the question.

However, Strange’s attack manages to register at the same time and kills Obi-Wan. Both characters perish in the same instant and synchronously buckle to their knees as the “YOU DIED” title card appears. Now that most players who had started Elden Ring months ago have finished its story, players have enjoyed finding creative builds to experiment with in the game’s PvP system. However, a lot of Elden Ring’s fun as an action RPG comes from its role-playing.

Elden Ring is getting a fully-fledged co-operative multiplayer expansion mod later this month, and alpha testing is already underway.

The release of a proper, fully-fledged co-operative multiplayer mode is bound to get many players back into the Lands Between, however. The Seamless Coop mod, on the other hand, is adding hugely important multiplayer functionality for players that just want to enjoy persistent co-op gameplay with friends. Charming as these might be at first, these systems come in the way of regular co-operative multiplayer action in more ways than not.

There's a secret place hidden within the Lands Between, where the downtrodden are safe and where two demigods might make the world a better place.

Again, there are gaps here, but we can infer that Latenna might have been trying to lead the Albinaurics of the Liurnia village here, to Ordina, when they were attacked by Ensha. The Albinaurics seem to have been fleeing to a new home, a place where they could live without being forced to serve others, as it seems they are in Liurnia, or persecuted and murdered, as they were at Volcano Manor. The ghost at the top of the castle suggests that Castle Sol and Niall worked for Miquella in this regard, trying to use the eclipse to restore Godwyn's soul, with Miquella seemingly offering them a place at the Haligtree if they were successful. The ghost suggests that failure meant that Niall and the spirits of his men were stuck in the castle endlessly, guarding the medallion piece, but unable to reach the Haligtree themselves, much like the headless mausoleum knights who've endlessly dedicated themselves to protecting the wandering mausoleums. There are a lot of weird things that this is doing to the Lands Between, seemingly--you can even find Godwyn's body--but for the time being, the important part is that this left Godwyn as a sort of vegetable, and Miquella had apparently hoped to do something to help his half-brother. Digging into the knights of Castle Sol, we can get a bit more of a sense of what they're up to. With Destined Death, both the body and the soul can be killed--that seems to have been the natural way of things. But Marika changed reality by altering the Elden Ring, removing Destined Death and causing souls to return to the Erdtree when they die, creating what we know of as the Golden Order. The second half of the medallion is located in Castle Sol, a stronghold in the mountains. The Grand Lift of Rold will take you to another location, but only if you have a special medallion in your possession when you use it. In the Mountaintops of the Giants, we can see what Latenna was trying to achieve and what Sir Gideon Ofnir's man, Ensha, was trying to find when he slaughtered everyone who lived there. If you invade the Haligtree to face Malenia, are you making the world of the Lands Between a better place, or a worse one? To get there, however, you have to find a secret path through the Mountaintops of the Giants.

'Elden Ring' To Receive Seamless Co-Op Mod This Friday: Players will be able to team up for combat, ride horses through maps, share items and more.

The true co-op mod will be available on Nexus Mods this Friday, May 27, for the game’s PC version. Users will be able to use other mods, though all players in one party must have them active in order to make them visible. Additionally, the updated gameplay allows players to spectate with other players when they’ve died in a boss fight.

The final fight before entering the Erdtree is a classic FromSoftware test of perfect dodging.

He will wind his arm back and attempt to grab you by the throat, lifting you in the air and throwing you into the ground. Dodge to the side to avoid. - Hoarah Loux's Earthshaker. He will let out a roar (which can knock you over but doesn't deal damage), jump in the air, and come crashing down at you. Dodge to the side to avoid the grab. (Later in the fight, he will sometimes begin this move by jumping at you from afar rather than running). If he connects, he will throw you in the air, and slam you back into the ground. Dodge any direction out of the way of the axe, and stay out of the way to avoid his crash down. He will run at you, dragging his axe behind him, and then pull it out of the ground in an upward slash. After this move--for as long as the white aura is above his head--his stomps will create a shockwave, rather than the rock black AOE. This is both a blessing and a curse: His stomps' shockwave AOE will now all span the entire arena; however, unlike the previous stomp, this move can be rolled through. A moment after, the fissure will erupt in an AOE blast. Black Knife Tiche is the best Spirit Summon for the fight; she will stay aggressive up close, giving you plenty of time to set up your own attack. It's a true test of skill, but memorizing his moveset will lead you to victory. Only one thing stands in your way: Godfrey, the first husband of Marika and original Elden Lord.
