The Blue Dancer Charm, which increases a player's attack power the less equipment they don, can also be found to the east of Stormveil in a tucked-away dungeon called the Highroad Cave (along with a light scimitar-style weapon labeled the Shamshir). Its description is as foll

Later patches reduced damage for these two special attacks, causing the Sword of Night and Flame to become the niche weapon most frequently used by Faith/Intelligence hybrid spell-casting character builds. Patch 1.07 increased the attack power of the Night-and-Flame stance once more while also adding damage detection to the sword part of the weapon and letting players aim the blasts of Glintstone Sorcery (pioneered by Raya Lucaria's founders) and Giantsflame both up and d

In the next room, you’ll spot several crabs just minding their own business. Slay the crabs and loot the Grave Glovewort [4] and Golden Rune [4] at the end of the room. On the east side of the room, you’ll find a ladder . Climb up to the next r

The Helphen's Steeple Greatsword, dropped by a Tibia Mariner enemy in Elden Ring 's Mountaintops of the Giants area , is a dark, barbed long-sword designed to be wielded by spell-sword character builds in Elden Ring . The Ruinous Ghostflame skill of this weapon envelopes the blade in a shroud of ghostly flame that deals extra damage and inflicts the Frostbite status effect. The 1.07 patch increased the damage, duration, and poise attrition granted by this skill while also shortening its recovery time, making the sinister-looking Helphen's Steeple a much more viable weapon for Elden Ring players who want to cosplay cursed sword-wielding fictional characters like Elric of Melniboné, wielder of Stormbringer, or Arthas Menethil from Warcraft, wielder of Frostmou

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

The dark fantasy setting of Elden Ring news Ring _ , FromSoftware's latest RPG, is full of fearsome warriors - champions of gold who wield holy powers, enchanted knights that cast astral magic, and barbarian brawlers who can stir up storms of wind and shatter the earth beneath their feet. The most fearsome martial artist of the Lands Between, however, may be a figure never encountered directly in the game - a blind swordsman dressed in garments of blue who defeated the anthropomorphic personification of Rot, then acted as a mentor to Malenia, Blade of Miquella, one of the most challenging bosses in _Elden Ring 's main game. What follows is an exploration of the lore of Elden Ring 's easily missed item descriptions and area maps in order to piece together a picture of whom the Blind Swordsman was and the role they played in shaping the game's backst

The next room to the south contains a switch at the far end, but don’t be too hasty; there are two Imps in this room . The first is just to your right when you enter, ready to attack. The second one is hanging from the ceiling in the center of the room, likely just out of sight. Be re

This move is employed by both the Staff and Sword-wielding Burial Watchdogs. The Burial Watchdog will levitate up into the air , propelling itself toward you, and slam down with a heavy impact. You can attempt to block, but the attack is likely to stagger you, leaving you vulnerable to the other Burial Watchdog. Instead, your best bet is to either time your dodge just right to avoid the impact – or sprint directly toward them . Their momentum will carry them past you, hopefully far enough out of range to avoid any dam

Are the acts of devotion described above borne from a genuine love of Miquella, or did this innocent-looking Demigod cultivate mind-altering magic in order to assemble a cult of loyal zealots that he could use to enact his ambition? Nothing in the lore of Elden Ring suggests that Miquella was cruel or callous towards the people who loved him, but his public displays of benevolence could have pragmatic (rather than moral) motivations behind t

From this weapon description, a picture forms of a valiant sword master who carried a weapon modeled after flowing water, who has a martial arts style modeled after flowing water and even wore garments symbolizing flowing water. To learn more about Elden Ring 's most mysterious hero, however, one must seek out three Talisman items found in different parts of the Lands Betw

The idea that the mist is made up of dead souls may sound farfetched at first. However, there is already a connection between the Age of the Duskborn and the souls contained in the Erdtree, and this connection is Elden Ring 's Those Who Live In Death . After Godwyn’s soul died, he was buried at the base of the Erdtree’s roots. The curse mark on Godwyn’s flesh corrupted its root system, though, which resulted in Death Root. Death Roots give rise to Those Who Live In Death, according to the Death Root item description. This confirms that the curse mark that killed Godwyn acts similarly on the Erdtree, killing the souls contained within it while resurrecting the physical bodies of the d
