The Blind Swordsman was born and raised in a clan or band of steppe nomads. Instead of focusing on the arts of archery or horsemanship like his fellow nomads, he dedicated himself to mastering the way of the sword, crafting a defensive martial art that used dance-like movements to distract the eyes of the sighted, keen hearing to block enemy attacks, and a honed sense of touch to unleash lethal counter-stri

While the questline is concise, the ending is especially succinct in tying it all together. Diallos finds his calling, only to be cut down after an attack on the village where he heroically gives his life to save them. It's tragic but also helps to spurn on a small jar lad named Biarn. This, and the item obtained by following Alexander's journey to the end, prompts him to go on his own adventure to become a jar warrior on his

Abstractly, one could call them a league of traitorous snakes who make it their goal to kill their kind. As you could expect, Patches is a member of this organization, even offering a quest of his own as you begin completing quests h

While his name may not invoke as much fear as it should, the knowledge of him being a prolific serial murderer with powers that desecrate corpses and ruin any chance of an afterlife for them might do the trick. He is one of several characters mentioned in the intro, meaning he was a banished tarnished who returned after the shattering of the Elden Ring, on a similar power level as the pla

Things take a bit of a turn once you finish your business there. After you talk to him again, by the time you finally return to his daughter, you find that you're already too late, she is dead with her father mourning her corpse. The saddest part of this quest isn't this, but the fate of the grief-stricken father you find later, crazed, bloodthirsty, and in a shack filled with... rotting m

Whether this wall was just a bug or a joke by Miyazaki, it's interesting to see how it had to be destroyed manually. There weren't too big of secrets behind them; the only main interesting aspect was the nearly unbeatable Snake Snails in the paths behind the wall that would follow you into non-hostile ar

For you sorcerers out there, the Erdtree Avatar and Putrid Avatar field bosses have a slight resistance to magic but nothing too prohibitive. They do have a decent resistance to Holy damage , however, so if you’ve been specializing in Holy-based incantations, you might be better served to have a couple of backup Incantations that inflict a different damage t

Before new players even learn about the existence of the Blind Swordsman, they can acquire information about the origins of this mysterious hero when they pick up the Blue Cloth Set, the signature outfit of Elden Ring 's Warrior starting class . Its item description is as foll

Both prior to and post-meeting him at the Volcano Manor, you'll have plenty of opportunities to associate with "The Trusty One." You'll have several run-ins where he is trying to do you in for no other reason than because you're tarnished. After you've shown that you're willing to work with the Volcano Manor, however, he changes his tune a bit seeing that you might be able to work toget

This move is fairly easy to avoid, but it’s the Putrid Avatar variation that makes it so devastating. The Putrid Avatar leaps up into the air , then slams down hard. When it hits the ground, it sprays a heavy dose of Scarlet Rot in a wide cone in front of it . This move can be devious, as one would think the Scarlet Rot sprays all around it, so you'd think it’s best to run away—this isn’t true. The Scarlet Rot sprays in a forward cone, and it covers quite a lot of gro

During the initial creation of Raya Lucaria, the developers had originally used the same assets for Dark Souls III bonfires rather than the iconic grace points that we see in the game today. This hints that Raya Lucaria was the first area to be developed, as these bonfires are now only invisible assets that are hard to rest

As you journey across the Lands Between , you’ll encounter many strange and bizarre creatures in Elden Ring . Sometimes, it’s hard to predict what manner of monstrosity you’ll find around the corner, but the Erdtree Avatar and Putrid Avatar field bosses are, for the most part, predicta
