The main world of Elden Ring is full of weapons, Ashes of War, and damage types that scale with either Intelligence, Faith, or Arcane, giving players who create characters focused around a single magical attribute melee attack options not reliant on Strength or Dexterity. Currently, however, there is only one weapon in Elden Ring 's game world that scales with both Intelligence and Faith (the Sword of Night and Flame) and no weapons/Ashes of War with Intelligence/Arcane or Faith/Arcane scaling. If future DLC introduces new magical or weird weapons to Elden Ring with the attribute scales mentioned above, players who create "Int/Faith," "Int/Arcane," or "Faith/Arcane" mage characters will gain access to many more interesting combat approac   The Raptor Talons are one of few claw weapons in Elden Ring . From an aesthetic point of view, claws are cool; they give a Wolverine vibe to the player's character. The Raptor Talons are one of the more underrated weapons in the game because they scale very high in Dexterity and can be infused with powerful Elden Ring Ashes of War to allow a wide variety of builds. However, the best part about the Raptor Talons is jumping attacks deal increased dam   When it first debuted in 2014, Dark Souls II was initially panned partially because of its many lackluster bosses. While battles against The Last Giant and Lost Sinner may feel fairly formulaic, The Duke's Dear Freja certainly stood out, particularly among the other bosses in the game's first h   Vague and obscure lore wouldn't stop most Souls veterans, of course, and those who venture down into King's Field' s abyssal depths will be met with one of the most disturbing bosses in series history. What appears to be a pillar of tentacles adorned with an eerie white mask, Reinhardt III is a fittingly weird conclusion to an oddball   A key part of Elden Ring 's backstory is the fate of the Tarnished, the lineage of humans the player's character belongs to. Near the height of the Golden Order - the divinely-inspired monarchy which rules over the Lands Between's denizens - Elden Ring 's Queen Marika the Eternal banished a number of her subjects from her realm, stripping away the golden Grace that had once connected these individuals to the power and vitality of the Erdtree. These Tarnished people departed the Lands Between, embarking on a long voyage to other lands, carving out new, lesser lives for themselves, until the guidance of Grace returned and called them to the Lands Between once more. Players of Elden Ring never directly see the Tarnished traveling from their places of exile, but certain details about the regions outside the Lands Between can be gleaned from item descriptions and the features of certain N   The Meteoric Ore Blade is one of several katanas in Elden Ring , but gets overshadowed by Moonveil and Rivers of Blood. Its scaling is not the best, only getting a C in Strength, a D in Dexterity, and a D in Intelligence, but despite these lackluster grades, the Ore blade is unique amongst the game's kata   Elden Ring creates a web that connects elements in the game to weave a complex story. The Godskins are closely related to the Gloam-Eyed Queen, Destined Death, Maliketh, and Marika. True to FromSoftware's style, lore can be difficult to parse since it requires players to read item descriptions, such as the Godskin Apostle Armor which says, " The apostles, once said to serve Destined Death, are wielders of the god-slaying black flame. But after their defeat by Maliketh, the Black Blade , the source of their power was sealed away ." Finding information has an extra layer of difficulty due to Elden Ring News Ring's vast, open game world . However, the effort to find information reveals that the Godskins are more than merely a group that wears skin as cloth   The Twinblade weapons of Elden Ring were first introduced in Dark Souls 2 (along with Dark Souls 2 's fan-favorite "Power-Stancing" game mechanic). Most of the Twinblades in Elden Ring 's base game aren't modeled after any real-life polearms in particularly, instead seeming to draw inspiration from the double-bladed energy sabers seen in sci-fi franchises like Star Wars . The twirling move-set of Twinblades, however, does have a basis in the staff-fighting techniques traditional to many martial arts systems across the world. The introduction of blade-less DLC staff weapons such as quarterstaves, bo staves, or fighting canes could give Elden Ring players a new blunt-force weapon class while also making cosplay builds of fantasy characters such as the Monkey King Sun Wukong from Black Myth: Wukong much more via   Anyone who enjoys any soulslike games should play this as not also is it regarded by many as the best in this action category, but the best game that FromSoftware has ever made. SteelRising may be gaining the attention of fans of these types of video games, but this is definitely one that no one who enjoyed it should miss out
